she can't handle all the gamerscore talk lol

Let's see, OT3, we've had e-peen measuring, GFWL shit, achievement/gamerscore... Hmm. We're halfway there! Now we just need steam game begging and the posting of that one cycle and that pretty much wraps it up.

edit: AND SALES TALK.

Speaking of shit are we going to have Neogaf Turd of the Year (TOTY) awards? I want to give my first vote to Duke Nukem Forever and my second to Call of Juarez: The Cartel.

Duke Nukem Forever was great. Far from perfect, but really fun.

And god knows my taste is as refined as the oldest of wines.

I recently broke 20k gamerscore. Felt good.

Between my two tags I have over 30K gamerscore. According to math, that makes me more of a real gamer than any of you.

I don't have 1000/1000 for any games. In fact, the only console game in which I have all achievements is Demon's Souls.

I'm pretty close to 1k with some games though (Nier, Vanquish, Oblivion).

5575 here

Generally I only get 20% of the achievements in a game or so. Batman is currently my highest completed at 70%. I have one other at 69%

Are there any skins that make Steam easier to use on a TV in a living room environment? i.e. 8+ feet away from the screen. I've been thinking of dragging my PC out into the living room so I can sit on my comfy couch and use a wireless controller.

The Library and Community tabs are nigh on impossible to use if your not close to the screen.

There is a tile mode for the library that makes selecting games easier. Community? Not so much.

Not really besides just using icon grid mode, but Steam is intending to implement a 10 foot interface ("comfy couch mode") fairly soon so presumably the UI will accommodate that. There's no specific date, but it was given its own press release announcement so clearly they find it to be an important feature.

Wtf man. I declare that to be an illegal amount of money!

Thanks, tile mode is perfect. To bad about the rest of the tabs, hopefully the 10 foot mode isn't to far away from completion, I presume it will be a lot like the PS3 UI.

Someone tell me when the L4D+L4D2 bundle gets discounted, and/or when Metro gets discounted as well. Tempted to pick up Orcs Must Die but may wait it out for a price drop as well.

Just found these in the registry, they're very well hidden, but hopefully it means some or all of them will come out at some point:

Geneforge 1-5
The Dream Machine Chapters 1&2 ("The Dream Machine is a point & click adventure game in five chapters, made by hand using materials such as clay and cardboard")
Baldur's Gate 2: Complete
Pixeljunk: Eden
Death Rally

I'll have a look if there's any more interesting stuff that hasn't been released yet.

Holy shit I hope so. I'm replaying Geneforge 3 right now, the second weakest entry in the series, and it still has more choices and more complex politics then your average BioWare game. Possibly the most underrated RPG series ever.

Hmmm, it would be a surprise to see a Pixeljunk game on Steam. I would most definitely double dip on Eden, though, dat soundtrack.

Death Rally is free at Remedy's website....interesting.

Too bad I already got BG2 complete for 10$ on GOG. I'm in for Pixeljunk though.

Still wondering why KOTOR 2 isn't on steam while KOTOR is.

Wow, I thought PixelJunk was a Sony exclusive for sure. I'm going to stop buying PSN/XBLA/WiiWare games, it seems like they always end up on Steam eventually anyway.
