Btw. anyone wants some -75% Nexuiz Code? Got it through raptr.
One code is 75% off Nexuiz 4pack and then I have 3 codes for the nexuiz DLC, also -75%.

When does GMG usually send out their Steam keys for pre-order games?

Steam has the Dark Souls release date as the 23rd, but GMG has it as the 24th, are people that ordered from GMG going to get it late?

Maybe I should see if there's a Steam beta available. I had yet another 5-10 minute session of hard disk chugging and Steam being unresponsive thanks to a TF2/DOTA 2 patch. </first world problems>

It looks like Legend of Grimrock (a criminally underrated game. Seriously why haven't you played it yet?) is getting Steam Workshop support.

Here's a video of the editor at work.

LoG is a game I need to play one of these days. The fact that it's confirmed that it will be getting Workshop support is terrific.

Thanks!

Man, I wish Steam skin has some update notification feature like Firefox plugins.

After using Pixelvision for a while, I switched back to just the default Steam client. The small text with Pixelvision was annoying me more than I realized. There are a few other skins that look pretty neat that I will check out.

Did you try the Windows 7 update that supposedly fixes that Windows issue?

Just wanting to vent.

Fuck Steam when you have no internet. Recently moved and my internet connection consists of a demo house down the bottom of the street with an access point for wifi. The signal is piss poor and was down for 2 days. The entire time any game associated with steam was useless. Try to start game. Steam can't connect, would you like to start in offline mode? Yes. Steam could not connect to network, shutting down. The fuck??

Yet GFWL worked fine........

Seriously Valve that shit is fucking annoying.

They supposedly fixed that with yesterday's update, but maybe that was only for the beta? In another thread the explanation was that if you don't shut Steam down correctly, you won't be able to start it again without internet access. If you do, you can go straight to offline mode no problem.

I got an update with that as a bullet point and I am not in the beta.

I have a backup of my steam games folder which is about 18 months old now. I just bought a laptop that should be ok for gaming. Is it worth copying across the folder (about 100GB) and letting steam download zillions of patches etc, or should I just start from scratch and redownload the ones I want to play?

100GB from scratch isn't that much (if you're not on bandwidth limits) so personally I'd go for the redownloading.

Pretty sure setting your status to offline through the Steam friends list is the only way. Click the dropdown arrow next to your name on the Steam friends list and select offline.
Click to expand...
That kinda blows. As someone else said, there should be a way to remain able to send messages to people (and see if they're online) and not show the game you're playing.

lol it's a FULL ONE DOLLAR AND THIRTY CENTS discount.
Click to expand...

Technically, with the 75% off discount I got yesterday, I could buy Nexuiz four pack with that money.

But I won't and will buy that thing anyway.

I still hope the "superfan" is "people that bought our games" and not "people who liked our facebook page lawl" kinda thing.
