Right-clicking on a game and choosing "Never update" doesn't work? Or am I missing some kind of sarcasm here?And then within a couple of years maybe they'll even have an option for you to opt out of game updates instead of being forced to update every time you launch a game!
It won't update, but you'll need to download everything before you're allowed to launch it.
I just want to stop random people inviting me into their groups.
Bingo. If I recall correctly, Steam also had a habit of randomly reverting the setting (perhaps when you launch the game).
It's specifically an issue with games like Skyrim, where people would make .exe or core file mods, and then launching the game would one day suddenly force an update to be downloaded before they could play, overwriting everything.
Even if they're attractive Russian women who wish to give you free games if you'll just click their links? :<
Seeing as you can set your profile visibility to friends-only a similar setting for group invites is long overdue.
This, plus advanced privacy settings.
That really sucks, that's the most useless option I've ever heard.
Come to think of it, it'd be nice if I could hide my game stats from non-friends so I wouldn't get friend requests from TF2 traders.

this x 1000. or categories that sync across clients on multiple computers. Had mine all set up and then steam updated the client and they all disappeared.

Does that Quantum Conundrum cover future DLCs? The season pass on the store page is listed as both DLCs and soundtrack, when buying those things separately is half the price.
The Season Pass also includes the base game. And to answer your question, no, it's no different to the Season Pass on Steam -- base game, soundtrack, and the two DLC expansions.

Are there separate keys for the base game and the DLCs or only one for the season pass?

Aw man, I guess I shouldn't have bought the game when it went for $3.75 like last week then.
Greemman Gaming got the game and the dlcs for $5 now

Nope, just Valve Time taking effect.

Actually moderately enjoyed RF: Armageddon Never finished it, but gameplay wasn't too bad. Weapons were pretty cool.

Puzzle Dimension was really good, didn't care for the others that I played from the Swedish pack.

Checking again if there's any interest in a Torchlight 2 4-pack.
1 spot left, and we still need someone who can host from the US I guess.

2. Flunkie
3. ChosenPredator
4. ???

Hamilton's Great Adventure is good too. Kinda reminds me of Puzzle Dimension except with more things to interact with.
That pack is a great value if you don't own any of the games in it.
I say fuck these huge packs, it's really unlikely I don't have any of the games they feature. They could at least discount a little the individual games (even 30%, while the pack is 80% off) so I could grab the ones I missed before.
Fuck yea, the Red Faction games are getting SO bought tonight! Quantum Conundrum and the RF franchise in the same day, not bad.
I love it that Steam is slowly running out of things that it needs. Now people found the different directory install stuff, and specially after big picture mode, green light, mac, linux etc etc. Only a few things remain.
I wonder if they will ever run out of things to fix/add..

You can now pre-purchase The Testament of Sherlock Holmes since I know many of you want it. $40

It's okay. Some of the weapons are cool like the magnet gun and the destruction mode is neat but the single player is a corridor shooter littered with destructible objects and buildings.
Guerilla is definitely the better game

Great if you like corridor arcade shooters. Terrible if you don't and you prefer open world gameplay.

Eh, I guess I might as well play it then. *bites bullet*
This. Definitely Guerrilla.

Is DLC pass the next "evolution" of DLCs?
Don't know, but if I can get it along with the base game, all for 4 bucks then I won't complain
They can make it less bloaty/more responsive. The new community is great though and works better than old community.
Armageddon is not the open world GTA mission based game that Guerilla is but that is true for most games. Played through Armageddon and the dlc. The lack of an FOV fix and playing on a large monitor is nausea inducing. Thankfully the game plays well with a 360 controller so I just sat back from my monitor or used my TV. On the actual game Armageddon is cool. You can take down structures onto enemies or from beneath them and rebuild them, actually very cool. Like everything, bridges, buildings etc... All kinds of weapons. Meaty story driven campaign. There is a level that puts you in a Descent like Pyro. Again, cool. Nothing not to like except that it's not open world like Guerilla and there is no FOV fix.
