What Killthee said, but you can use keyboard shortcuts to ease the process. Windows key + P should work on Win7.
I wish I read this earlier

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
I do have a question, once in a while, I'll add a non steam game to the lineup and for the most part, everything is fine, then I'll reboot my computer to find that all are gone and I have to repeat the process again. Is there a way to stop that or to back up my list?
Did you try exiting Steam and restarting after adding the non Steam game?
Windows kills applications ungracefully when you tell it to shutdown. So when you shutdown windows with Steam open, the Steam.exe process gets killed, which corrupts the file that holds your shortcuts. Since your file is corrupted, Steam can't read your Non-Steam shortcuts information from it on the next startup.
Just backup the file called "shortcuts.vdf" on "Steam\userdata\[user id]\config\" and, if you ever lose them, close Steam, go to that folder and overwrite the current, corrupted file with your backuped one.
Same thing can happen to your custom Categories. Do the same thing for the file "sharedconfig.vdf" located in "Steam\userdata\[user id]\7\remote\".
Just remember to create a new backup every time you either change your Non-Steam shortcuts or your Categories.
Edit: Same thing used to happen to the file that kept information about your activated games for offline play, but they fixed that two updates ago. I wish they would fix these issues as well.

Hmm, so you should manually exit Steam before shutting your PC down then.

Never purchased from there...When can I expect to get the steam code? Hrm wait I think I have tried here before and it there was some issue with my bank for this site...is this in Europe somewhere or is that another site I'm thinking of?
The last few big games that came out, the were a day or two late. Sleeping Dogs and Darksiders 2. Pay the extra few dollars and get some piece of mind.

Sent you a PM
Technically, yes. I try to do it every night now. It doesn't corrupt the files all the times - I never got a corrupt categories file, for instance.
But keep that backup up-to-date. Better safe than sorry

The old code? Hm.
Anything to keep this guy low cost.

You're a sharpie. With the way he quoted that post, and the misspell, I assumed he was offering a COD code for someone organizing a 4 pack. I couldn't have been the only one.
Not that I'm mad. I sold my Nvidia BL2 code for 35 dollars too. So it's not like a wanted it

Really ? I just tried it and got the discount
So, in any case, it works.
Worked for me too.

Yeah, tried it three times. Didn't work.
Race Room Racing Experience Teaser just popped up on the store, looks very nice for a racing sim:
seems to be f2p?

I tweeted GMG and asked if a XCOM-friendly voucher was in the works.

Does the Darkness II continue with Xbox controller prompts the whole game? I couldn't figure out how to talk to Vinnie without having to hit X on my controller. Plus the game is keeping me from moving until I figure out how to dual-wield an Uzi. No thanks.

Did you unplug your controller? I experienced none of this.
Seems it doesn't work for NA if I read the comments in their forum.

How much is it with the voucher?

Yes, it's F2P and it's being done by SimBin (Race series, GTR series, and STCC the Game).
oh cool, must be the first f2p racing game on Steam.

The teaser for RaceRoom is bs though. I downloaded it and it just allows me to fiddle around with the options. It doesn't actually me to race anything.
37,50 over here.
:| think I might just wait for the full game.
I love how the Valve announcements are still being posted on SPUF. Please for the love of god make the new Steam Discussions customizable -- I hate the tunnel vision effect of the threads only taking up 1/3 of my screen width.

X-COM is now up on Steam but the pre-order bonuses don't work quite as I expected: "Rewards Unlock As More People Pre-Purchase!". Don't think I've seen that before.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/200510/
Reward 1: Elite Soldier Pack
Reward 2: TF2 Hats
Reward 3: Free copy of Civ V

Must be new, never seen it before either. Really nice new feature.

I think that's new, Steam has a lot of new things this year. Also why don't they have old Xcom games as a gift for a lower tier?

I thought one of the pre-order bonuses was going to be Borderlands 2 early access since a Gaffer found it in the registry, I guess not. Pre-ordering away.
There's a huge drive button right in the middle of the screen.
That being said, the UI isn't great.
Isn't that usually reviewers?
Anyways, the hats were already ninja added to TF2 so I don't know who they are kidding with this.
it will get to stage two at least:
This is an interesting way to promote day 1 sales, an area I thought Steam was lacking.
Reward 2
Everything Above, Plus:
3 Exclusive XCOM TF2 Item’s*
The Craft Hair
If you're ever planning on fighting aliens, this is the hair to have.
Area 451
If aliens ever invaded Badlands and used their special alien powers to make all of our heads look like alien heads, this is a scientifically accurate representation of what Pyro would look like.
The Vigilant Pin
This pin proudly states to all that you are at least vaguely aware of the possibility that maybe aliens exist.

Has anyone bothered picking up I Am Alive? I enjoyed what I played on Xbox but got sidetracked, and now I'm considering getting/finishing it on PC.
IblisGinjo
Member
Yes, you're right that's what I was thinking but at first I thought it was going to be a "play it three days early" type promotion.
Well they're going to be added to TF2 either way sure, but this would grant genuine versions to the preorderees.

Critter Crunch is coming to Steam next week. It'll be $6.99.
