I feel almost sad I've never run into this kind of thing. So much potential. Oh well.
I want to know why scammers like this like using /me as if it makes their words "official" or something. I almost wish someone like that tried doing that to me, I'd have so much fun with it, heh.

Isn't it on by default? I certainly didn't opt into it and its on.
I've posted my account name at least a handful of times this year (by way of posting an image of my Steam window in full to illustrate something), but, surprisingly, have had only a few unfamiliar users attempt to add me.
Battering rams and trebuchets.
Only if you've verified your e-mail address.
I guess that it explains it, mine was verified.

Now that's funny. I wonder how long it took to get that final response from Admin Community.

Valve should consider blocking any URL posted that includes the word Steam but is not a Valve domain. In addition, Valve should consider posting a HUGE disclaimer on the chat any time someone with the word Admin, Steam, Valve, etc. is used in one chatter's nickname. I don't think they would have to go too overkill, but it'd be a good next salvo in the round against spam and account hacking.
Admin Community forgot to preface the text with /me.
Ah ok.
To be honest everyone should be using two step verification (it's on by default, right?). If you are then a password/username combo is pretty useless without the access to the right email.
Yup! Just like a history for the chat
Half-Life 3 will release before Steam itself receives chat logs/history.
Provided you've validated your e-mail address, yes.

Yeah, I have enough racers with good graphics on my plate for now.

I also think Valve should consider a geo-ip country-lock for any user who does not have Steamguard turned on. Seems like a fairly safe assumption to say that 99.99999% of all account hacks are going to be social engineering scams run by people in other countries--so by making it impossible to login from another country without SteamGuard turn on, you basically limit account hijackings to people who have the same password on their Steam registration email as they do their Steam account AND who get phished in such a way that they give out their Steam registration email.
And it shouldn't inconvenience regular users, since if they go to another country and get flagged by the system, all they need to do is verify their email and activate SteamGuard. So the only negtively impacted people are those who have an invalid unverified email and travel to a foreign country and try to use Steam.
Note to Valve: Feel free to PM me to talk about job offers.

They actually have something like that in regards to trading. You can buy name tags to rename items and scammers are known to take a cheap item, rename it to something more valuable, and try to hawk it off to an unknowning victim.

Not a bad idea, but it would be fairly trivial to get around, just like you can do to get better prices, and I doubt these people are particularly concerned about losing their account if caught (which would be next to impossible since they are not buying anything).
I think just let natural selection run it's course.
Yeah. Not sure it's relevant to anyone else in this thread, but I've had this bookmarked for a while in anticipation:
http://www.wsgf.org/blog/thales100/...ision-and-g25g27-support-driver-san-francisco
Deals with how to get 3D Vision and/or G25/27 support working properly.
Ah, the safety of posting in the Steam thread
I posted about not being interested in the Midnight Club 2 since it was ugly AND didn't support wheels. Emphasis on not supporting wheels. And I had a bunch of bitters quoting me with angry replies.

Did anyone else read that in the style of George Agdgdgwngo from Fonejacker?

B-b-but the cars handle like Burnout Paradise w/Licensed cars and a witty story to justify all the reckless driving! You like Burnout-physics and decent stories right?
Well, even the well-done SHIFT gameplay-mechanic alone made this purchase worth it for me already, gameplay is fun. Driving on the edge of control with these physics is fun, and the MUSIC, OH THE WONDERFUL TRACKS! PS. Oh and the cut-scenes being a mix of FMV-CGI/in-game (in a comic-panel style) is a unique touch I've never seen before, very cool.
I've now played the game for a few hours and am a fan, thanks GAF!
I was able to run ENB Series with this game on my rig with vsync on and it never goes below 60.

I used the "First configuration" from that post, and the game's lighting isn't overdone or out of place, even the FMV cutscenes looks ok with it on.

Will take?
Also, Isn't Arma 2 kind of an older game? What's it been doing at the top of the charts lately for?
DayZ mod, it's pretty awesome.

Edit: Too slow.
A tad under 500 people are playing the Steam version at the moment, but who knows how many of those are playing MP (Steam users can only play with their ilk as Ubi hasn't and, judging from Anno 1404, likely won't provide an update for the Steam version of the game).

Has anyone managed to download the ENB mod for Driver SF? I keep trying and it doesn't seem to work. If anyone has it, could you please upload it to another location (like Dropbox)? High and/or low version, anything will do. Thanks.
If you have a recent AMD card (HD5000 series or later), you could also try the 12.6 Beta drivers, so far I haven't had any problems with these (Radeon HD6850).I have problems with my ATI card...yes yes the drivers(again..nvidia i miss you

Oh, if you have problems uninstalling a driver and installing a new one afterwards, after uninstalling a driver you should try running driver sweeper in safe mode to clear the remnants of the previous driver.

Basically like this:
Uninstall driver, reboot windows in safe mode, run driver sweeper, clear remnants of previous AMD driver, reboot windows normally, install new driver.

Same here, I keep hoping for one to target me.

Wow, Driver SF is amazing. There's nothing quite like winning a race event by "shifting" into oncoming traffic in the other lane and swerving it into the path of your opponents then shifting back to your own car to speed off into the distance. Shame it's as cheap as console > PC ports can come but the game itself is great.

Gotta love those scammers. I always laugh when I see conversations like that posted. Reminds me of back when I played wow how an offcial Blizzard rep would whisper me telling me I won a mount, etc. I would always laugh at them. The sad thing though is that these idiots are right. There are some people who are so stupid that they fall for shit like that sadly.

At least it runs well even with mad AA added. It's a simple looking game but clean. And it's got some unique gameplay that you wouldn't expect from a game if this type.
