You can. You just can't change your login email.
Just log in to Steam Community, then go to Edit Profile. I'm pretty sure you can do it from the client as well.
Nothing? Simplest way is goto your friends list, click the arrow next to your name, and say "Change Profile Name", and you are done. Your log in ID is the same, but you will have a new display name.Coldsnap said:

I don't think so, since it would be a security risk. The point of having the two separate is so you can't guess account user names.
I'm new to this and slowly finding no reasons to turn on my consoles.

5.8 GB, apparently. (thanks again, confused!)
in somewhat related news, those buying Fallout 3 GOTY from GS, be warned: they're not fast on getting you the key. my transaction went through fine about half an hour ago, no word on when the game'll be playable though.

Do the triggers work? Have I been fed a bushel of lies?
gregor7777 said:

Drop the files in the AC2 folder.
Not natively, but they work fine if you use this: http://code.google.com/p/x360ce/gregor7777 said:

What effect (if any) is that going to have on other games that support the 360 controller natively?
Regarding Assassins Creed games and the 360 Wireless controller
Don't mind the misinformation, you can always find a fix for your wireless controller if a game doesn't natively support it. In the case of the Ass Creed games, simply replace the relevant files in your respective AC folder with these two files:
http://www.fileplanet.com/212510/download/Wireless-Xbox360-fix-for-Assassin's-Creed-I-and-II
Works for all AC games.

Okay, off on a new mission to convince people to buy a game:
The Game: Frozen Synapse
The Price: currently 19,99$ (normally 25$) for two versions of the game, so 10$ each.
The Screenshot:
The description:
It is basically a simultaneous, turn-based Fallout Tactics Chess.
The explanation to the description:
Normally, you start with a team made of 3-4 guys and have to take care of a certain objective (save the hostages, kill the other team...). There is a wide variety of objectives but the one most of us on GAF are playing right now is the simple version of kill them all.
You have total control over what your team mates are doing in the next 5 seconds, for example: Dude 1 walks 4 steps forward to feint walking into that direction, throws a grenade, ducks, walks behind cover, stands up and runs to safety. All this easily within 5 seconds. The goal in general is to outwit the strategy of the opponent and its damn satisfying.
There are 4 unit types (MG dude, Grenade dude, Rocket dude, Shotgun dude) and each handle a bit differently due to their weapon of choice.
There is also a singleplayer mode with 55 levels, but the real reason to play this game is the multiplayer. One round might take about 20 minutes on standard settings, so its even playable in short bursts.
Its just an incredible feeling to plan your tactics for your team and see them carrying it out to slaughter your enemy. If you are fan of strategy titles you really cant miss this game.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

If you're going to buy a controller, they still sell the wireless 360 pad bundle: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004QRKWKQ/?tag=neogaf0e-20
It's a little steep. However, if you already have 360 controllers you can just get the adapter: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0032A0RBC/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Which is also technically pretty pricey.

I decided not to send a support ticket to Steam in regards to an Assassin's Creed II refund. I tried the ol' "run as administrator" trick on the AC2.exe and the game works flawlessly now. Just got done with a two hour session. 8)
