Having fewer games installed also helps keep the backlog in check because you're focused on a small number of games instead of having a bunch of different games in varying stages of (in)completion.
This theory is totally bogus but at least it sounds sensible.
Does anyone here use Steam Limiter or similar programs? I've been using it for a while and it works well for the most part, but the last couple of nights it has downloaded around 24GB of data from other servers. Why? Shouldn't it refuse the connection?
I queued up a bunch of downloads before I went to bed at about one, it seemed to be working ok then (well it let some through) but then it all went to hell.
I still have probably 100 odd games to redownload since upgrading to Windows 8, so whilst 24GB isn't a big deal, if it continues to mess up I will hit my cap... I really don't want that.
Although I'm on an unlimited plan with TPG, I recently began using Steam Manager to block all but Internode's quota-free content servers and it's worked flawlessly. (It's not quota I'm concerned about, but TPG's hopeless international speeds.)

I'm all but resigned to the fact that I will never get through my Steam backlog. That said, if I did intend to try to knock it out, I agree that installing only a couple of games at a time would be the best way to do so.
Thank you for this, I will give it a shot tonight.

I bought it awhile ago because I was tired of waiting for it to pop up on Steam and was pretty disappointed with it, the story and the characters weren't that interesting.

For anybody who bought Prototype, the game has some bug or whatever with newer cards, not letting you pick anything above like somethingsomethingX800. Just download the fix from Widescreen Gaming to play in your native resolution.

Where can I pick up Civ5 for $7? I've been dying to try this game out!

I'm having a hard time understanding the GFWL Legacy method. It says it has a 15 activation limit, but is it related to the number of installations, machines or accounts?
Edit: Installations it seems. Why do I keep buying these games?

I just started playing Prototype 2 and it runs horribly on my 2500K HD6850, constant stuttering and slow downs. Almost unplayable. Gonna try this http://steamcommunity.com/app/115320/discussions/0/864950841116414156/ but I already regret spending the few bucks for this mess.
Here's a couple of Steam codes for games I already have there from the latest Humble Bundle. I finally figured out, how to do "Quote to reveal" type of thing, so maybe this time, someone from inside the forum will took it 
Crayon Physics Deluxe Steam Key
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP Steam Key
Please notify if you took one.
Did a little marathon yesterday and finished Minerva`s Den DLC and last two chapters of Binary Domain. Minerva`s Den was suprisingly well crafted, it doesn`t look like it should be in the game from the start, since it's an side story to the main game, but it was created with the same attention to detail and story on the level of the Bioshock 2 itself. Which for 400 MS Points that I spend, is amazing achievment. Except GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City, that probably had much higher budget, I don't remember any story driven DLC's that did this so well. Of course, it still has those awful spongebullet enemies, only couple of weapons and plasmids, that are actually useful, hard difficulty level that isn't hard and ingame economy, where for most of the time you spend your money just so you could hit it's in-game limit yet again. But it's more of an base game fault than DLC`s, so I guess I can really recommend Minerva's Den for those, that doesn't mind gameplay of this series and play mostly for it's story and atmosphere.
And Binary Domain? Well, what's to say here, it was AWESOME. Destruction of robots, instead of humans was a nice change, but it also had likable characters, good looking boss fights (even when they weren't that exciting from a gameplay perspective, to be honest), really good gunplay and even story, that was suprisingly good. It's such a shame multiplayer is dead, that voice function doesn't seemed to work on 2 microphones that I tried it on and chances of sequel are next to none...
And off to chose another games to play through from the list of over a hundred. Thank`s Steam...

Took this, thanks.
For content: I just finished The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav. It's a great point-and-click adventure game that really throws back to the later era Sierra games like Quest For Glory 3 & 4, Shannara, Space Quest 5 which had a really unique art-style that made those games memorable. The game also includes technology advancements of other adventure games such as clickable object highlighting and auto-saving which makes the game a breeze to play-through. One negative point about the game is that some puzzles and methods of progression through the story requires you to perform somewhat inane actions (cat moustache anyone?) and these come up fairly frequently, about once per chapter.

Except it has more moé and you can save/load, freeze frames.
But for a moment I want to believe that you can save/load in yours and I'm stuck with a buggy one.

Terribly. If you don't have a controller buy XCOM. If you do, buy XCOM and Dark Souls.
Btw, GMG has XCOM @ 35% off.
