That video will still sell someone on spore this very day.

Looks slick. Thanks for the info. Definitely grabbing it tonight.
It wasn't?!
Yeah, the backlash against this game was probably the most noteworthy thing. I must say the character creator was fantastic, I'd probably buy it as a stand alone for a dollar.

How about ten dollars standalone on Origin?
I remember being hyped by spore so much that I actually bought that crap.

Apparently if you bought the Potato Reunion pack yesterday before they changed the description you were given your TF2 item.
However, as soon as they changed the description, they went and removed all the hats that had been given out.
This sounds kind of un-valve like. It's coming from SPUF threads on the matter... so take it as you will. But that really is lame if true.

Good to see Adventures of Shuggy on Steam now. I've had my eye on that for a long time.
Hmm not sure how I feel about this one. If I had bought Potato Sack yesterday, I'd be pissed I think.
As someone who bought it last year though, I don't know that I'd want to see a flood of new, previously limited edition items. These types of items have a set value due to their limited nature. Take the earbuds for example -- they're worth, what, $35 (not really up-to-date on my prices)? If they were to "re-release" them, the value would instantly tank since they wouldn't be rare and discontinued any more.
Either way, I think removing the items from someone's inventory after the fact is not the way to go. Remove the description and don't give it to anyone who bought it after that point, yes.

The Aperture Labs Hardhat is one of the only promos released in the last two years that cannot be randomly crafted.
It's kind of weird. I thought maybe they never made it craftable because of this situation (a re-print of the promo), but it looks like that wasn't the case...
It sucks, but presumably they want to keep their economy expensive or whatnot and don't want new people to get the hats. =(

Same here. I ended up just buying Spore, since I figured that I could always pick up Galactic Adventures in a later sale, seeing as how the packages don't have any additional savings.
The game is absolutely hilarious, and I wish I could love it more, but I'm so terrible at it as well. So much text and so much loot/items it's overwhelming, and then I quickly die
I've only played it briefly however, so perhaps my judgement is a bit skewed.The Broken Ska Record

I played Spore for a bit when it came out. It was fun until it got to the Strategy game part. I detest strat games, so I quit.

GA is really fun. It's all late game content, but it basically turns the end of Spore into an entirely new game, and some of the adventures people have made over the years were great.
It's too bad there's some nasty exclusive DLC for Spore that is unavailable now (and was never on Steam). Cool robot parts for the creator, but the DLC has long since been retired as it was part of an EA promotion.
It also means there will be missions and creatures you cannot download... ever, because these parts will never be available again.

Spore: Maximum Edition
I kinda want to play this, just to see how bad it really is.

Are Telltale games Steamworks on anything other than Steam?

I know for a fact they're not Steamworks if bought directly from TellTale. At least, up to Back to the Future. I don't know about the stuff released after that as I stopped buying games from them directly with Back to the Future.

Spore is really great but the Galactic Adventures expansion is garbage. The editor is kinda neat but everything created with it is clunky and half-broken. All the custom levels are either trivially easy or impossibly hard; there are no mid-mission saves so you start the whole thing over if you die. There is no mechanism for randomizing content in the missions so one of the core draws of the game and any reason to replay the missions is gone. And if you have the expansion then user-created levels automatically show up in your space stage as missions, forcing upon you the tedious task of hunting down missions from the base game while avoiding GA missions.
I've deleted the Race 07 demo from Steam, checked and the folder has gone, but it's still showing in my game list. Deleted the client blob, still there showing as an installed game. Any ideas?
Edit: Nevermind, I had to delete some dedicated server from the tools and it's gone now.

Well how hard is it " hunting down missions from the base game"
Instead of library, change to Tools. There's got to be some online component or whatnot installed. Delete that and it'll disappear.
EDIT: You edited while I was typing
Yep, that was the problem. Cheers.

Same here. Maybe it's the build I used. Which I can't even remember at the moment.
I actually stopped playing because I got bored of just destroying everything easily.

I can't remember if you get any indication that you're doing a GA mission. I think you have to decipher it from the flavor text.

not very. You find a planet with a distress signal and go to it. The distress signals happen fairly frequently.
Is it my imagination or was RUNE priced @ $4.99 this afternoon? Now it's $9.99, on sale for $7.99. Still want to know if the directx10 renderer works?

I've had this game for aaages, and never have gotten round to playing it. Is it actually fun?
RUNE is on Steam? Will grab during summer sale for sure. Game is amazing.
Yes, very fun! It's as much an adventure game as it is survival horror. I only had to look up the solution for one puzzle. Great game.
If you've ever played Penumbra you know what to expect, except this is way better.
eh...sorta...it's very intense...almost too much so for my taste
