I was actually talking about World of Goo... Didn't get Skyrim yet.
And if they patched it out... Oh well. Could have been quite cool to have this option.

Skyrim added the Steam wrapper to the exe (sucks for people use altered the exe). No clue about Runner.
People are saying this Skyrim patch has something to do with defending against piracy.
Maybe another achievement hunt thing for Thanksgiving.
at least serious sam is okay with no preload. 4 gig download, bout 1 hr for a fast connection, prolly a few hours for a slower one. batman is 17.5 gigs, i thought i had a fast connection and that will still take forever.
as for rage, i see it dropping really fast like duke nukem. i don't have any evidence or whatever, i just group them as a similar game. 50% is pretty fast.
It is now stuck on 'scanning for steam game updates' as soon as I double click BTB :/
Ooooooh. OK, that does it. I've watched a few videos and I love the setting. According to howlongtobeat, the game is 10 hours long (even though only 1 user submitted data), which is great. Thanks.
It started a few days back, I couldn't start the game (while it was installed) so I tried to reinstall and now it stays stuck on the download starting as well. deleting content puts the game back in the uninstalled state if you'd prefer that, but nothing fixes it so far :/
At least we're not alone in this!

Skimming through it, on page 3 they seem to say that the devs fixed it, so it might just be a question of Steam pushing it out on the content servers.
okay thx.
i actually had pre ordered RAGE on Steam so seeing it drop in price so quickly is a bit of a ball shot.
i played through it and enjoyed it a fair bit tho. was a good game, imo ...but $59.99 was a bit too much.
yeah i see it dropping quick too ...like today @ 50% off is kinda shocking so soon, but whatever. ya win some, ya lose some.
Rage is definitely better than Duke Nukem Forever, tho. that game was pretty bad. i bought it for $10 and i felt that no one should pay anymore than that price for it.
Was finally able to get Cold Fear. Steam has been broken for me lately. Often the pages fail to load in the client and I get a white page with the text written in default fonts like if the page has failed to load it's CSS sheet and Jscript. When I get this I can't add stuff to my cart as the link doesn't do anything. After hitting reload for a while it usually goes back to normal but it takes a while...

First part is really good. The boat mechanics, atmosphere and effects where really good back then. I remember the second part being really less original but still enjoyable
Nope but I had something weird too.
When I connected to steam via the client it told me that I was not logged in so I hit the login button under the players connected graph and it asked me for a verification code they've sent in an email because I was using a different machine/browser but this wasn't the case at all ( I was using the same machine I used for steam since the summer). Checked my mail and applied the code anyway and now it seems fine.

So I take it no pre-load for Arkham City?
Nope. So you'll have an 18gb download standing between you and the game.
I'm trying to decide between Saints Row 3 and Batman: AC for my next purchase. Batman is a bit more appealing to me, but at the same time I'd rather give my money to the guys who actually released their PC port the same day as the console versions.
After watching this video of Skydrift, I think I have to buy it. There's nothing that screams amazing about it, but it does look fun as hell to play, especially it multiplayer is active.
Yeah, I've been reading about it and an

Well then at least I can download it while playing Skyrim.
Just make sure to alt-tab out of Skyrim and manually resume the download, or otherwise you'll have an additional source of rage.

I rarely fuck up when it comes to computers but this one is a doosey. As I posted above I was having problems connecting to Steam and getting it to update. To try and remedy this I decided to uninstall Steam to see if a fresh start would solve the problem having done this earlier on in the year on my laptop and it had only removed the Steam program files. Hands up if you know where this is going. So I proceeded to the control panel>uninstall a program, found Steam and hit uninstall. I clicked through the wizard, the uninstall began and I went about my business checking Gaf, email etc.
After about five minutes I checked back on the uninstall expecting to greeted with a shiny Finish button but instead it was still uninstalling. "That's weird" I though to myself it should have been finished by now, Steam's program files only amount to <100MB. So I decide to check the situation and open My Computer were I am greeted with a raised heart beat and a disgusting feeling of dread. My disk usage reads 515GB free of 931GB, it had previously been 201GB. I quickly cease the uninstall process and navigate to steamapps>common to find that the first folder in the window is no longer alice but instead mafia ii. 300GB on a 200kbs connection -_-

Does anyone know how I could figure out the Hex values for 1440x1080 for Cold Fear? The game obviously doesn't have proper widescreen support, but it would be nice to have it fill my vertical resolution. Info is here: http://widescreengamingforum.com/dr/cold-fear though as I said, they are wrong about it being widescreen, the game is just stretching.

It looks like Batman has a midnight release now
That is 10:30 pm for me. This is good news, although I will still alt-tab and resume the download while playing skyrim as I wasn't expecting to play batman until tomorrow anyway.

So the Steamworks title Saints Row 3 isn't available to buy on Steam
What a whole load of sense that makes.........

Skyrim for $39.99 would be nice
It's on the US store? Are you in Europe? Don't the stores get priority over steam for the first month or something like that?
I am sorry for your loss.

Yeah as a plane and racer fan, this looks really good. We really lack these 3D racers these day.

Fucking finally. At least it will download overnight.
same here, it was 26 and now moved to 25 but why is it showing 22 for the others?

I think the US or NA gets it a couple of days sooner then everyone else.

Different regions have different release dates. I assume that 22 is for US while rest of the the world have to wait till 25.
