Awesome! I just finished playing Still Life not too long ago. Ugh, that ending. Too bad I can't afford to buy it right now, I might have to wait until summer sale and see if it's discounted then.
Also, I just noticed Samarost 2 popping up in my library. I know I had it from the HIB, but it was never added on Steam. Is this a new change, or am I late in noticing it? I categorized my games a few days ago so now it's really obvious when something new appears...
Speaking of which, I also noticed The Path disappeared from my list about a week ago. Nothing seems to help. I guess it is contact Steam time.

Yeah, Samarost 2 showed up for me as well. Glad I didn't buy it the other day.
Can someone that owns Magicka do me a favor. Start a new game, space bar through the text till you control your character for the first time. When walking around does the game stutter?
I haven't played the game for a patch or two and earlier when I started game, it stutters pretty much every step in fullscreen mode. It doesn't do it in window mode, but in windowed there is a wierd windblind tiling effect going on. I've reinstalled the game, XNA and switched to older video drivers and still the same thing, so I'm hoping this happens for everyone at least, still annoying if so.

Why? Thief works perfectly fine on Win7 x64, I'm playing it right now.
Only issue I have is I can't get up ladders easily because I'm doing something wrong, and the aforementioned HD resolution issues.
It's a great game only surpassed by the originals, and it has an element of horror. Love it.

Yes, I think that was the tutorial. I managed to play it in 1080p through this method and it works great, but once it loads the level after the tutorial I get a black screen and can't do anything.Detox said:
Of course, I can't tell if this applies for everyone or even if it's related to Win 7 x64, but I've tried almost everything and no success.

The localization is decent if a little awkward at times (one character was particularly badly done. I can't remember any of the characters' names, but you can tell who I mean immediately.) Better than Syberia though, which constantly made me cringe. I really liked the first one (haven't played the second one yet.) I love how it plays out in two different eras with two different characters, but are still connected. Unfortunately it ends on the most annoying cliffhanger. I guess that would be resolved if you bought both at the same time.
Thief works fine for me and I'm also running Win 7 x64. I found a fix for the resolution issue on Through The Looking Glass forums first you download this. The tool replaces one of the 5 preset resolutions in the game with your own choice. Also apply the crash fix which stops the game from crashing due to some looping error when using widescreen resolutions. Then download the FOV patch here type in your resolution and it will adjust the FOV.

I've got no connection either. I can get on Steam, but no community features.

Licorice-flavoured booze?
How does VVVVVV's difficulty level compare with Super Meat Boy?
So how's Cities XL 2011?
It's tricky, but nowhere near as difficult. The game still expects you to die repeatedly though. The hardest section of the game probably comes close to the first section of The Guy's bonus level in SMB. I think it took me around 30 minutes to beat that section.
The input lag makes it harder than need be, though.

They're both easy, but VVVVVV is easier.

Other than minimizing itself every time it has to load a level, it works just fine for me (I have W7, 64bit)Gloomfire said:

Either I suck or you're a wizard, but yeah, VVVVVV is definitely easier. Aside from the one part people keep referring to, which left me a crumpled, defeated mess, it's not terribly difficult. You die a lot, but checkpoints are very close together so muscle memory will kick in pretty fast.

Man i got Fallout 3 from gamestop over the weekend but it crashes all the damn time. Anyone have a fix?
