Wait, I thought the thumbs up and down buttons were the voting options? Have I been doing it wrong? lol
Nope. If you click on the thumbs up, a notification will appear saying, "Thanks for helping this game get closer to release on Steam!" (I assume there's an equivalent for downvoting -- I haven't done that yet.) Adding it to your favourites just... adds it to your favourites.

You might just want to stick with the ingame AA, wouldn't want to risk a VAC ban on a source engine game.

Is that the girl that played Hanna? If so...whoa.
You are correct.
The only reason I Am Alive is coming out on PC is not because they are doing it from their heart, it's because the game was garbage and sold like shit on consoles so they are trying to break even by bringing it on PC to make anything they can to recoup costs.

Review: http://www.giantbomb.com/i-am-alive/61-21107/reviews/
Quick-Look: http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-i-am-alive/17-5769/
Excerpt from the review:
"Worse, you abandon the search for
(minor spoiler - it's the whole stories premise from the beginning) after about 20 minutes, spending the rest of the game acting as an errand boy for other characters you meet with almost no reference to the primary, personal reason you're here in the first place. Then the game culminates in one of the hastiest, most ramshackle endings I've seen in ages, resolving almost nothing and leaving at least one major character pretty much totally unaccounted for."
Metacritic has it at 75 (PS3) and 69 (360), game is mediocre at best with some interesting mechanics.
---------------------------------
I mean I'll still get it, but they are using the whole piracy issue to mask how bad the game truly is. And I truly hate it when devs/publishes do that, but I'm not surprised as this is Ubisoft.

Okay, that's what I thought. I was wondering if maybe I was suppose to favorite them as well.

Oooh okay.. yeah I thought so - but then in the right column it had a 'current favourites' listing.. makes sense.. Cheers JaseC.
Also thanks for mentioning the Paradox pack on Amazon earlier - $10 yeah.. even though I only wanted Crusader Kings II and Warlock it was still a massive saving! Due to go in Steam list to never be played!!
I'm going to ask around my friend circle first if they want anything but the rest I'll put up on here - Testing my email embedding:
I actually liked I Am Alive. Guess I'm in the minority. Giantbomb was spot on about the ending, though (and the story in general). It was pretty shit.
The mechanics looked really neat, something like that PS3 game The Last of Us; it looks like a lite version of that.
The "Calculated ratings so far" bar is a visual representation of the voting tally, but for the moment it's set to some unrealistically high number so Valve can spend the next few days/weeks sorting through the voting data and ascertaining the goal a game must achieve before it's submitted for approval.

Steam Powered User Forms might be dead soon. All discussion will link to http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/ and will be accessible with the Steam account.
Figured this would happen, and it's fine by me.

I can dig that change.
That was obviously the plan.. allows them to more cleanly link peoples store accounts with their 'forum' accounts so that hopefully people will be more polite when their games are on the line
Re-tread of the 'my games are no longer playable because my forum account was banned' EA style drama incoming
Followed by Blizzard style RealNamesOnly(TM) policy - lol.

Are they starting afresh/clean slate or just moving stuff to that site?
They haven't banned access from games for a while now. The most severe thing they'll do is temporary ban you from community features for a while.That was obviously the plan.. allows them to more cleanly link peoples store accounts with their 'forum' accounts so that hopefully people will be more polite when their games are on the line

Sweet, I'll just add the uninstallable GCI to the same category I have those two Call of Duty 3 entries in.

Spuf was a cesspool but there is still some good information on there. I hope it doesn't just get wiped and either stays there as a read only or everything gets transferred to whatever new thing and is still easily found with Google.
How does it not drive you insane?Just finished Adam's Venture Episode 2. Shit is getting real, plot-wise. I can't wait to dig into episode 3 this weekend.
Oh yeah, feels good man:
If you enable the new client beta, it's now just another section of the community tab. Makes sense for them to centralise it. And hey, hopefully they'll just able to ban you from certain sections of Steam, unlike EA who were like "lol nope."

Yeah, there's lot of fixes and addressing common problems in there. Hope it gets archived at least.

What codec/plug-in do I need to play game videos on Steam and did it suddenly change or my codec/plug-in version became obsolete? Yesterday I got the "codec not updated" or something message when trying to play a video, today Steam just crashes when I enter a game page with a video playing.

Long time?
It's 2:35 in the morning over in Valve Land.

It's not a major title that gets a midnight release.
Bbbbut - Yurop land.
I thought the time difference is playing a role. Only one Steam gate as it seems, too.

Ah, that explains it. The store updates 10 AM PDT and they list new releases any time after that.
Thanks. This is first time I am waiting to buy something right when it is released, so it's good to know when it goes out into the wild.

I have an iron will. Also, the games aren't long enough to be truly offensive.

This is the first time I put a non-Steam game in Steam... it suddenly vanished in my Library list! Then again I shut down the PC without closing Steam first. Is this normal?
I plan on putting Guild Wars 2 in my non-Steam game too...

Non-Steam games vanish from the Library from time to time, I have not yet figured out why.

Oh yes...
And if not that, then you get to have duplicates show up. Sometimes endlessly! (I once had LEGO Star Wars shortcuts populate until there were twelve.)
Those threads are good, like the free games list, easiest way to install stuff like Codename Gordon and Trackmania Nations Forever.
Quantum Conundrum is £2.49 on Gamefly.
Steam redeemable, I think? Says 3rd party download required, but the list of Steam games doesn't have it listed as Steamworks.
OK, the list on the Steam forums confirms it. Wikipedia lies.

Yeah, just to confirm, this is a Steamworks game last I knew, but oddly isn't listed as one anywhere. Apologies if it actually isn't.
$3.75 for US btw.

QC is fun enough. Especially for that price.
Did anyone jump on that dlc and give thoughts?

Aww, I like SPUF as it is now. It has searching posts by user, sorting threads by date, special icons if Valve staff post in the thread, a reputation system, and lots of other minor features discussions don't have yet.

Many thanks, was waiting for a nice deal, this is even less than I was willing to pay. Works with addresses and credit cards from outside the UK btw, you just have to fake the postal code.
