I know, I thought we were talking about the Shogun II standalone expansion. I bought Alan Wake CE from them, no issues whatsoever.

Cool I got this too.
Oh Gaben, I could never stay mad at you.
Dungeon Defenders is the Midweek Madness.
You are timely and informative.
Source Filmmaker popped up for me too after the downtime. Guess many people were invited to that now?

Source Filmmaker is now in Open Beta and is available to everyone according to the press release they just sent out.
Ah, alright.

Well I had no problem sprinting using the a button, but the analog running/walking doesn't seem to work right for me. Anytime I'm walking forward and try to turn I'll start jogging, but I can't start a jog walking forward, I can only sprint using the a button. It's just annoying.
And yeah I'm using the official 360 for windows controller.

I tried, but apparently my computer isn't quite powerful enough.
Steaming:
Playing Quantum Conundrum, and I'm really digging it. Looks great, runs good, nice puzzles so far. Has some of the twitch based puzzles some missed in Portal 2. Dunno if that will bother me later on, plus it has platforming puzzles...but that jumping in that great. Every FPS needs to do the Metroid Prime camera tilt for when you jump. I'm stuck on this puzzle in a room with a big fan and a laser. Q keeps yapping about the number 3...can't figure it out haha.
Also just started Shank, liking it so far. Its gorgeous.

Come on Gaben! Skyrim GOTY 75% off or bust.

Same here... =(
I agree with you, I wonder if it will be that way permanently or just for the beta for visibility purposes.
That would be a pretty lackluster GOTY since no DLC on the PC yet!

Skyrim will get at least 95% off at the steam sale you guys. Just you wait and see.
Joe Molotov

I'm 95% sure that it will be 50% off.

So I tried out Super Monday Night Combat and don't have a good first impression. I start my first game with other people at my level (0) and we get placed against a team of people way beyond us. They ended up just spawn camping us for the most part before they even destroyed the ball. Is this a common issue?

It's part of the structure of the game. A team's moneyball is right outside their spawn so getting worked over would inherently lead to getting camped. Bad matchmaking is apparently an issue in every game ever, so it all sounds par for the course.

Since I get my new laptop on Tuesday my wishlist for comfy couch gaming just keeps growing and growing
So far:
Alice Madness Returns
Sonic Generations
Driver San Francisco(Yes I missed the daily deal for this)
Saints Row 3
Bioshocks
Dirt Complete
Wolfenstein
Skyrim
Witcher 2
Borderlands

The thought of owning that list makes me feel all fuzzy

That was my experience with Monday Night Combat. The community for that game was generally small but pretty active and fairly dedicated. I bought a four pack during a sale, gifted the extra copies to some friends and started playing. The dedicated players were all super high level, there was rarely any middle ground between the two teams level-wise. In the matches I played, one team was always super-stacked and the matches always ended up being a spawncamp fest. They kinda have to given that's where the money ball is.

A Call of Duty summer bundle was added in the cdr, for those who care.
These you have in amazon (steam keys) dirt cheap
I'm 100% sure you're less sure than he is?

Yeah i'm aware of this. Ive picked up a few from amazon already. Not sure why im holding out. Anticipation of the steam sale I guess. Will leave it till last day

I am loving Costume Quest
I'm hoping this will go cheaper on Steam. I'm looking forward to playing it.
Yes.
Omg.. this so bad. That and putting that Indie Game Movie, what was it called (heh), and soundtracks for games under Media so they can be found easily..
And I don't have any game guides but I would imagine they should be listed under Media rather than a menu option in the steam overlay in case you wanted to read it without loading the game? (Is it currently hidden in a right click menu?)
They really need to support their non-game game stuff better.. Move the digital pc gamer thingie out of games and into Media. Hell if they started selling eBooks of game novelisations I'd probably buy them if they were listed under Media.

Seems like putting the objective right there is a mistake. I've played five games now and four were nothing but the other, higher level team camping a bunch of new players.
GFWL with securom.
You forgot one of the main issues with the PC version. The physics in the game run at 30fps while everything is 60+. Shoot a box or something and watch a choppy animation. It's jarring as hell.
Yes. The Steam version is special, because it mashes some Steam features like achievements on top of GFWL, but unfortunately there is no escape from GFWL. Hopefully WB will shape up soon.
Jables Swan

It sure does. Still gives you overlay and Steam achievements though. I haven't had any issue with it. Great game.

It even has cloud storage.
Word of advice: Awful port, don't play it on DX11 or with Physx on or it will kill your framerate. Also, use a controller if you can, the KB/M bindings are really weird and the game felt off for me the whole time.

hide your water-based mammals
I'd hit Arkham City for 7.50 or less on Stein.
It does. So, get ready for GFWL achievements + steam achievements at the same time and don't rename your GFWL profile or you'll lose your save games.

The new mode (Turbocross) fixes that somewhat. It usually ends much quicker if one team gets stomped, or there's a lot more back-and-forth between even teams.
It's still a pretty newbie-unfriendly game, though.

I haven't got any of the DLC for it yet. Are any of them any good do you know?
Unfortunately this is due to the very small userbase. Totalbiscuits video that went up yesterday seems to have boosted the numbers by about 500 concurrent users.
