So it's actually an approved cross promotion? I wish they'd gotten the color orders right in that case, it looks like the Chrome flying saucer is upside down.
Wonder if they're getting rid of it for the Steam version and replacing it with Wheatley or something along those lines.
It's not a MOBA game is it? It has a very Dota 2 look about the visuals.

Hero Academy is great. It becomes really addicting once you get into it. Been playing it for about 2 hours straight now.
Probably the best part of it is that you can get up and do other stuff while waiting for others to play their turns. Makes cleaning the washrooms much more bearable.

Is the new TF2 KOTH map out yet?
Damn, Binary Domain is so tempting, but I've got way too many games on my backlog already and I just bought Darksiders on a whim (for $4, but still). If I keep buying games I'll have to go from a game-a-month marathon to a two-games-a-month marathon at this rate.
Meh, there's always the winter sale.

Onlive is giving away Zeno Clash for free. I know it's not Steam related, but I thought some Steam Gaf members would like to play it for free.
Instructions at the link. More free games in the coming weeks.

One of the best brawlers in recent memory. Would love to play it on PC.Would be nice if they brought Raven's Wolverine game over as well... not happening though
You made the correct choice.
Ummm... I'm looking at my Dark Souls pre-order on Steam and tried to pull it up on steam and also search for it on Steam. The store page is gone and it doesn't pop up on the search engine anymore. I thought that maybe it all of a sudden became region locked over here, but there is a page that would pop up saying that it's so.. it's not even showing that.
Edit: Now I'm searching for it again and it pops up that it's region locked. What the hell is going on? Luckily I bought it before this happened. This is weird though.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I started a game with you. I have no idea what I'm doing!
I still haven't. Call me a cheap bastard, but I'm waiting for it to get to 5 bucks

Steam should be ashamed of their false advertising. They told me that Hero Academy was $4.99, but then when I went to the store page, they held multiple hats for ransom until I gave them $15.
What the heck.
btw, if you want to win a game of Hero Academy, play against me. name: TouchMyBox.

Few of us gaffers are playing it. Start a game with us
downloading now, will do

I dunno if that'll happen any time soon, this is a pretty big drop.
Unless Christmas steam.

late to answer, but it's kinda hard to stop this as you can use special characters, color coded message and symbol. Valve does let your report users on steam profiles for misconduct in offensive imagery and text.
There is a report function in tf2 for players names/avatars/cheating/other things as well, this will send a report directly to Valve who will look into the claim, I think there might be one for CS:GO as well now.

They want $20 for Hero Academy (all 5 factions) on Steam? It's $6 on iOS (minus the TF2 team). That's quite a surcharge for TF2. I think I'll wait and add this to my wishlist. I should be playing the superior Summoner Wars anyways
$15 if you buy the bundle.

Since no one answered you the answer is yes. Just released an hour or two ago.
Ah, I missed that (only saw the 2 pack deal). Still, that's $5 more than I expected. Not sure why I figured the package would be $10, but that was my price point. Though I read if you have the teams on iOS they will transfer to Steam. Hmm. (Still think the game is priced too high on Steam though

I don't disagree...
But dude, hats.

It's also a dick move to give 1 hat per DLC bought :|

Damn it. I'm leaving for the weekend.
Are the hats timed exclusive? Will I be able to get the hats 6 months from now?

The way these have worked for the last year or so is you can get promo hats for free by crafting and drops and whatnot (sometimes you have to wait 2 weeks or so though), but they are loser regular hats. Whereas the hats you earn through promotions are marked as cool dude "Genuine" quality.
Yes, I know :/ It's just that I don't think it's worth more than that. Not with all the sabotage From has been doing to it.
I for one am glad to see Binary Domain on sale again, I've been regretting passing it up (during Amazon sale, Steam sale and then the second Amazon sale) for the last week or two, I was thinking I wouldn't play it anytime soon and that by the time I got around it the game would be cheaper but lately I've had the urge to play the game, so I'm rather happy about having a second (well, fourth) chance to pick up the game at this price point again so soon.
As far as I recall the game is registable on Steam correct?
If so I should really track down a physical copy at some point, I recall seeing it on sale for cheap in several stores often enough, though I haven't looked for it recently.

I think there are two main tools -- I use Steam Mover.
Or just manually move the folders for the games you're not playing to another drive. Steam Mover's more for situations where you also want to be able to play the games on the other hard drive.

It rotates. That's why the colors are off place like that.
Also, it's a pretty fun game. I've only put 3 hours into it, but I enjoyed my time playing it. It's like a MOBA game, but there's a LOT more micromanagement than there is in League of Legends. I can't really compare it to DOTA 2 since I haven't put much time into that game and I suck at it.

yes. Im using an external 1.5TB USB-drive with a sym-link to use the 800+GB of every one of the ~175 games in my list that is downloaded on the USB-HDD.

I know before this free weekend absolutely no one was playing, so that's a bit of a problem considering the games main draw is multiplayer. Unless you really enjoy playing against bots. I tried it earlier - I had a couple of crashes straight up, not sure what the deal was there. As to the actual gameplay, it seems like fun. The mutators mix things up nicely and the game moves at a very fast speed. I decided to buy it, $2.50 isn't exactly breaking the bank... I'm sure I'll get a few hours of fun out of it at least.
What I did. I just asked for the key, sent it, registered it on Steam. Good times.
Hmm, it's looks mirrored or upside down to me. I don't know why it bothers me so much, maybe because I always have the big Chrome icon on my taskbar.
Edit: No actually, looking at it closely, they definitely switched the yellow and green.
Or did you mean that the three sections randomly shuffle positions?
Can you do that? Where did you buy the key from, and is the site reliable?

Nope.
I thought you were talking about Prey for the record, but Maple Story works too!
If by "the game" you are referring to Maple Story then the answer is no.
