If you're interested in Bastion at all you should just buy it now, well worth $5.

Picked up Bastion. $5 seems like a great price for the game, judging by what people have been saying about it.

Probably setting things up for the release of the Portal 2 themed DLC. It's supposed to come out today.

I use my PS3 controller connected via USB and the soft Motionjoy, I play Fallout New Vegas perfectly this way.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I don't see this one get brought up enough and I've been testing it out extensively for the past month or so:
It's PS2 layout, but other than that it is a fantastic controller. D-pad is significantly better than the 360's (I can actually press down-right and have it register as down-right). The weight in my hand is excellent. It's wireless (though the range isn't as good as the 360's, but it comes with a usb extender that makes up for that). It has a mode button that switches the right analog stick with the d-pad, bringing d-pad controls to games that don't natively support it. You can also toggle rumble on the fly with a button press. The rumble is a little weak, all things considered, but I almost prefer it this way.
One of the nicest features, though, is that it is a fully compatible, 360 compliant controller that is also fully compatible with older, X-input games. Games see it as a 360 pad and provide you all the appropriate button prompts. Flip a switch and you have perfect support for older games that don't register the triggers and shoulder buttons of the 360 pad correctly.
Edit: I forgot to mention: while the controller has the PS3 layout, it does not have the shitty L2/R2 buttons of the PS3 pad.
Overall, a really good controller that is cheaper and better than the 360 pad.

Or you can just download motionjoy for ps3 controllers.

If you already have a PS3, that's a fine option. But if not, it can be more expensive and is not as feature-packed as the controller I posted.

Well, the run of those controllers is over, so if it's $100, it's an official SLS. If it's $10, it's a shitty knockoff.
Personally, I would go for a slight compromise and get a Madcatz Fightpad for 360. It's completely PC-compatible just like the normal 360 controller and the quality is top notch, ensured by Markman.
You've got worse odds than one in a million. You're more likely to get struck by lightening.

Ah yeah, the 360 fight pads should be good. I haven't used one personally but they were pretty much modeled after the Saturn pads, no?

build quality is suspect
Some interesting info regarding the new steam beta:
- Gifts no longer have a pop up, instead the new mail icon turns green if you have a new gift, inventory or invite
- Gifts can be declined as mentioned earlier BUT once accepted they can either be added to your steam library or steam inventory.
The second point is of great interest for people who use sites like steamgifts.com or randomly give games away. Usually you can check the "manage gifts and guest passes" window to see if gifts have been redeemed but in the beta this doesn't load the window but redirects to the pending gifts page (this page doesn't currently have gift history), so the only other way to confirm that the recipient redeemed the gift is to check their games list via community (impossible to do if their profile is set to private).

Odds are about 10 in 4 million, no ?
10 people win every day. Steam has 4 million users online each day.

Bastion is my game of the year.
~4 million concurrent. The amount of unique users accessing Steam each day would be notably higher, no doubt.
That's 4 million on at once. There's far more users on in a 24 hour period. That doesn't mean that they're all clicking on the link to be signed up for the daily draw though.
Likewise, and I've heard nothing but praise.
I get an error when I try to login to APB with my Steam account.
It's always at 4 million I really don't think it would be more than half more.

Yes, the soundtrack to Bastion is so damn good. All it would need to be for me to love it is the actor who does the voice of Rucks talking for an hour about random subjects.

You have to create an ABP account before logging in with Steam. It's pretty silly.

Oh, 67%. I can reist as history has shown it'll be 75% off in some months time (Capsized, Hamilton's Great Adventure
i'm whats wrong with gaming, buying games I never would at 75% off and never playing...nay, installing them
Yes, but not precisely 4 million, hence the tilde.
Let's say that you're correct and the amount of inconstant users increases the total unique user count for a 24-hour period by around 50% - that's still an additional ~2 million users to consider and most likely a significant increase in contest entries.morningbus

Has anyone been getting a lot of random invites to Steam groups lately? I just declined 4 a few minutes ago and another 5 just came up randomly. No one I know is in any of these groups either.
It looks like they're coming from this user: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198053269309 Edit: that user's aliases don't inspire confidence: "autoinvite_1."
Awesome. About to block my first "person" on Steam.

Can't blame 'em. All the bitches want my Vintage Bill Hat, bro.
Fixed.
I bought the soundtrack myself. I'd been waiting for it to go on sale.

- Fix: Borderlands levels Entanglement and Infiltration let you build towers again
Yes. I wonder why it takes 200MB though...(the first iteration of the patch was 800MB).

Finally, Paypal not allowing me to do an instant transfer has been useful. Really wanted Bastion, but I don't want to spend any more money on games so I guess it's a sign from above.
Same here is it wrong that i'm waiting for 75% off? lol.
