Isn't Steam Greenlight launching soon? I keep thinking that I remember reading it would start on the 17th but maybe I'm imaging that.

DA: O is pretty much your Bioware template followed to the bone, but there's some cool surprises and I find hard not to like its old-school charm.

The cause is the TF2 update flooding Valve's servers. You can go into offline mode, or wait an hour or two.

Yeah keep going with DA:O. Some great stuff waiting for you in there.
yea it can get a bit cliche-ish sometimes but it was still one of the games I enjoyed most in the last years. Keep on playing

So I am trying to load steam but it keeps freezing at Connecting to account _______ is this just me?
EDIT. 3rd times the charm I am in!

That's really the cause?
Well, anyways, seems like I can't start it in offline mode. Guess I'll just try some of the suggestions on that page or play something else.
The beta I believe.
Is TF2 using the new content system yet? Once everything has moved over Steam shouldn't be having issues like tf2 downtime.
Site won't load for me. Does it say anything about using gfwl/steamworks?

Steam achievements, Steam cloud.
Site won't load for me either but awesome to see it confirmed. And since it seems like every XBLA title I want besides like Trials is seemingly coming to PC. There's like almost no reason to turn on my 360 now a days except for Trials, Dust, and Netflix.

Train Simulator 2012 will be updated to the next version, 2013, next month for free if you already own it. It'll add Steam Workshop support.
Whoa, Steam Workshop quite surprises me. I thought their model was basically making the money off of the paid DLC...if people make their own workshop packs, can't they kind of replace the DLC with free versions?
I do really like their practice of updating people to the new version each year though. I think that's why I bought Railworks to begin with, to support it.
Unless it's Workshop ala TF2/Dota 2

Nvm it is now downloading after 2 hours of suspendedness
I kind of want to see Fez come to PC, if only so I can see what all the fuss is about, beyond the Phil Fish drama.

The title of that game makes it sound like one of those games you got in a cereal box.
Definitely want to try it.

It's probably going to after his wonderful patch experience.
I want Fez to come to PC so it cam be in a Humble Bundle and I can get it without paying money to Phil Fish.

"SteamUI_ValveSurvey_Summary_KernelName" "Kernel Name: %s1"
"SteamUI_ValveSurvey_Summary_KernelVersion" "Kernel Version: %s1"

What are the chances they let you to run non Linux games in Wine?
Fez is an awesome, game, I'll gladly double dip on it.

He doesn't look like much but man I don't want to be around him when he gets angry.
Fez will almost certainly come to PC I think. Phil's made comments before about waiting out the XBLA exclusive deal. I wonder if it will have GFWL though because it's apparently published by Microsoft.
HadesGigas

"Published by Microsoft" is meaningless for XBLA games. Since ANY indie game that isn't published by a third party has to be done through Microsoft. It's only GFWL if Microsoft owns the IP (like Iron Brigade).
Any game on XBLA without a big pub gets publish by MS. He probably just has to wait a certain period like with Super Meat Boy, Bastion ect.

I finished unmechanical.
I really like looking at the credits of like 15 people and being like yep I gave you guys money. You deserve it.
When you have indie games with 300 people how the hell is that indie?

Indie just means self published. Doesn't have to be a small team.
SteveWinwood

Psh don't get after me with your definitions.
I'd argue it's a label that means certain things nowadays, more than straight up just independent. If Epic published Gears of War whatever on steam by themselves it certainly wouldn't be indie.
Thanks a lot buddy.
SapientWolf
Trucker Sexologist
No, because MS presumably helped to pay for Gears development. Epic's Infinity Blade, however, is an indie game. Fortnite will be indie too.
SteveWinwood
Member
A much better example yes.
But you get what I'm saying. It's left just being "independent" and now has a whole host of other things attached to that label.
It was a simple process: I just submitted a refund request using the "Submit a request" form and waited six days. Aside from an automated reply, the only communication I received was an e-mail telling me that the refund has been processed and to allow a few days for the money to return to my bank account.
And may it continue forevermore!

Code:
"tooltip_view_fullscreen" "Big Picture Mode "No steam is not on the new content system yet. It wouldn't of mattered even if it was, with the amount of new assets in the TF2 update it would of been huge even on the new content system.
