So i just read in another thread that you can add the exact amount of funds you want to your steam wallet now ? (instead of 5, 10, 20 etc USD) where can i find this option ?
Only if it's over $5. With TF2 items you need to have the item in your cart and it'll have an option to add the same amount to your wallet. Not sure if it works the same for Steam titles.

I finally had a chance to try out the new screenshot feature in Steam, taking pictures and uploading is super easy, that feature is awesome. I eagerly await the day when Steam will able to record videos and upload them to the cloud.

Just bought Crysis 2. I'm preloading now and I hope I don't regret paying $60 for this.

Sanctum is up for pre-purchase, double pack is $10.00 each, it has coop and looks interesting enough.
That kind of came out of nowhere. I always thought that the UDK alpha was good enough to charge money for, and the beta sounds even better.

Looks like a souped up version of Iron Grip. No Nazis this time but I love rts(tower defense)/ 1st person shooter hybrids.

so much wrong in this. and now I understand your opnions on Crysis 2.
Oh man, sick burn. You got me so good. And to think that the lighting in the night levels of Crysis 2 is anything short of amazing is a wrong opinion.

The only game that has impressed me with night level lighting is STALKER Complete. I somehow doubt Crysis 2 even comes close.

hahahaha Black Ops is 25% off LOL. Activision doing a discount... something is off...
Pretty transparent, actually — now that the NPD is gonna publish digital sales, Activision wants to boost Blops so that they look as good as they do on the retail sales charts. Can't blame 'em. NPD good => investors happy.

There is no way in hell NPD is going to get hold of Valve's numbers.

Considering Black Ops is 60 freaking dollars, that's actually a sizable chunk of change off. :lol

Now it's at the price it should have been at to begin with. :-/

Well, what other numbers are worth worrying about? If NPD wants to deal in DD, Steam's the first address, along with maybe XBL..

When I played Lead & Gold after the last free weekend the community was very dead.


During the summer sale I bought L&D and the community was dead then. What a shame, the game is great.

You can get RUSE for $12 on Direct2Drive (Which can be activated on Steam)

Use the coupon Marchmadness to take 20% more off.


I'll likely wait for the MSRP to go down to $20, and then Ubisoft to make it 75% off on Steam, since I don't think I would play it anytime soon.

Does the CD key work though? I saw a post on CAG where the Mount & Blade: Warband CD Key didn't match the Steam version. I know it's only $7 but it would make things easier.

I'm stuck with this screen:

Its not that I'm logging in with a new computer, its the same laptop I've been using for years complementary to my desktop.
I have the key via mail and put it in, but nothing happens. The message vanishes and comes back up right again.

Anybody knows what to do?

Try deleting clientregistry.blob (when Steam is closed, obviously). It's a magical fix for virtually every Steam issue.

Agreed. But if we want to talk about games that deserve an active community, while L&G is second for me, Shattered Horizon is amazing.
 
Just bought Lead & Gold. Can't really go wrong at $2.50. Question though: Is there no community at all or is it a timing thing where at some point during the day, theres some people playing online?

yeah though the new group will need a point-man since Steam won't let me buy another 4-pack since I now own the game

Weird, the Ghostbusters demo adds a different icon to your library inviting you to buy the game:

Everyone should try out Lead and Gold for this weekend. It is a great, great game. The only reason I don't play it 24/7 is because the player base has dwindled :(

From what I understand it's mostly dead. Steam stats seems to show it just didn't stick with the TF2 community.

Wow I don't think I'll even bother with the Ghostbusters demo, RPS makes it seem like it is a real POS. Pity the last game was quite good (once I got to play it by reinstalling my operating system thank you very much Atari/Terminal Reality, you pricks)
