Grandma just sent me £40 for Christmas. Steam sale awwwwyeaaaah.jpg

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Saints Row the Third Download from Amazon, activates on Steam, $39.99 (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005OMM66A/?tag=neogaf0e-20) + $10 game of your choice.
Also, wait for the Christmas Sale to being before buying anything.
That's what Im doing too.

Huh, Steam crashed on me, so I closed it via Task Manager and then I tried to run it again... but it takes forever to actually start up now =/
I checked Task Manager again, and seems to gain memory rather slow.

Did they work with Steve Jackson Games on that expansion? The Stars Are Left is a card from Munchkin Cthulu.
If Steve Jackson is involved in Magicka, I'm buying all the Magicka.

I'd say for sure wait for the sale. You could get more for your money. Akham City for example is probably a lock for the sale judging by registry. Then I wouldn't be surprised to see Saints Row 3 go on sale too.

Man, Steam is taking forever to start-up/load. I even made its priority Real Time and it's still slow.

Pretty cool, but since only one of the games on my list was actually bought at full price the cost/hour thing is worthless, and I'd imagine the same is true for most people.
Yeah, they should also add an add to checkout button so you don't have to keep navigating back and forth to add individual pieces if you already have some.
It does, right click game on library->View Downloadable Content
I believe he meant in the store window it should have a way to mark what you own.
Try the demo.
Right then, I agree, a dot or something that indicates you already have this would be really useful. Though, you could easily remember what content you have unless it is one-word kinda confusing DLC, e.g., Sanctum :/
Overall, the Steam client has a lot of room for improvement, it's still kinda sluggish, specially during big events like the holiday sale.

Yes. Very unique control scheme that takes a little while to get used to, but it's a lot of fun.
The fake language and humor in the game is fantastic.

Magicka is on sale so often, I never buy it. I always say "I'll just get it next month".

I wonder how many people think that's Swedish. I know GiantBomb (at least some of them) did when they did their quicklook.
(To be fair, there are some real Swedish words thrown in here and there, but most of it is gibberish.)

That's what I love about the game. Almost all of the humor is meta.
Goddamnit, Steam. Stop updating shit! It keeps starting game updates randomly and so is slowly whittling away at my daily cap. Just start them all at once so I can pause them all at once and be done with it, you bastards! 
Also, it downloads demo versions of many of my games in the background which it doesn't even show in the main download window so that's fun too.

Magicka is a must buy for anyone wondering. There is no other game like it. Though it's definitely more fun if you have a friend or 3. If you're playing it solo it will be fun but nowhere near as good. Though you could always do internet games.
You use the keyboard keys QWER and ASDF to mix and match elements to create spells. It's very, very fun and most of the bugs have been worked out now.

Is Steam down? I can't log in. I'm scared.
Edit: Nevermind. I closed out, and then reopened it and was able to log in. Gotta go take my heart attack pills now.

Saints Row for sure. Don't let the hype fool you, Arkham City is a vastly inferior game to Arkham Asylum for a variety of reasons. Meanwhile SR3 may be GOTY for me.

Hmm, there's no way to make a controller work in the Steam app, is there? It's kind of annoying to not have the ability to switch games using the same controller I've just been using to play one. Instead, I have to walk up to my laptop and use my mouse to start another game (no, I don't have a wireless mouse).

They tried with Smash Bros. Brawl.

I've actually got a decent 99/206 games played. Of course some of those games I booted up for a few minutes to try them out (RE5), played for a little while before getting stuck and never returning (several adventure games), the game didn't play right (Darkstar One rexolution problems), or the game was just garbage (Red Faction Armageddon).

I love it when some new stats thingy comes out that gets everyone posting their stats!

Are you buying the Indie bundles that activate on Steam? That'll add another 15 games easy.

Question for anyone who has played Cave Story+, how do you unlock the ???? modes, I beat the game last night on normal but they are still locked. What are the conditions to unlocking them all, anyone know?
Care to elaborate? I'm not trying to provoke you or anything, I haven't played AC but I really enjoyed AA, so I'd like to know what makes it worse.

That's what Big Picture Mode is theoretically going to fix.
Not that I know of unless you use custom drivers and/or possibly XPadder to map things.

Oh, hadn't heard of that before. But it seems like it was first announced back in February, so... where is it?
Well, sure, I can map my controller buttons to anything I like (I use a DS3 with Motioninjoy drivers), but since most newer games only seem to accept 360 controllers I have to leave the drivers in 360 controller emulation mode most of the time. Can't use both that and custom key mapping at the same time.

Wow, that is ridiculous. A 5 machine limit for a bloody side-scrolling shmup is either ridiculously paranoid, or, the more likely answer as I assume it's carried over from a disk release, disgustingly lazy.
I feel your pain, I have 155 hours logged in Dragon Age and most of that is from two playthroughs, the latter of which I didn't even finish. It's amazing how wildly that game wavers between engaging but unimaginative fantasy to mediocrity, sometimes in the space of a single blood-spattered conversation. I've been considering going back and playing it with mods but I decided to play Arcanum instead.

listen to the mad man
arkham asylum has a certain economy of space and pace that arkham city lacks due to the open world design direction. both are excellent games, but AA is the more brilliantly designed by a mile.
Just went and checked my mail and realized it was flooded with shit from Steam. And then I realized I got an e-mail for each game I won!
Witcher 2
Batman Arkham City
Assasin's Creed: Revelations
Deus Ex: Revolution
Sonic Generations
Rage
Saints Row: The Third
Skyrim
Darksiders 2
Metro: Last Light
Here's hoping THQ doesn't go down the toilet and I see those!
FUCKING PUMPED. Gotta go redeem these bitches, now!
