Lol, two of the Trine 2 DLC levels have taken me an hour, the other 2 took me half an hour each.
And I still have 2 levels to go.
This DLC was a steal.

I suppose I can spare ~$7 seeing as Midweek Madness is a bust.

Did I mention it looks incredible? Each new level has like it's own theme and they all look mindblowingly good. Other devs should feel ashamed.
So Red Faction 2 has this weirdest bug where if I don't have a CD or DVD drive it won't launch. As I have a problem with my PCI SATA controller, Windows doesn't recognize my DVD recorder, so I had to mount a virtual drive with Daemon Tools. At least I didn't get the "this machine need more than 8 MB VRAM" message, so it's still better than it could have been.

Critter Crunch, Transcripted and Intrusion 2 are mine.
That goes without saying.
I still need to work my way through the original game.Dog Problems

Haha, wow. I think I'm going to get it next time it's on sale.
BPM crashes when used on a Win 8 system that's using the latest AMD drivers.

Critter Crunch is out?! Hell yeah!! I'd pretty much given up on a pc port happening. Will be double dipping for sure. Such a fantastic game.
I wouldn't recommend Armageddon. Sure the weapons are great, and the level design isn't anymore "run down this straight corridor" than other games in the same genre (which is to say it's only that and nothing else), but the enemies are some of the most boring I've ever fought in a shooter. With the exception of some huge brawler guys, they're basically indistinguishable from one another, and have no interesting gimmicks whatsoever. All they do is try to ineffectually shoot and/or slice you. I did finish the game so it has that going for it, but I wouldn't recommend anyone dedicate their time to it as long as they have something else to play.
Just backup the userdata/somenumber/7 folder, that's where they're kept.

What exactly is Critter Crunch? All I'm getting out of looking at these screenshots is a craving for sugary kids cereal.
It's rainbow vomit magic.

Is Guerilla a good port with 360 pad support? Is it worth 5?

Why does everyone love this game so much?

GFWL makes it hard already but even without it I wouldn't recommend Guerrilla. Got bored very very quickly. Only redeeming part was the tech for me.
Edit: Goddamn, Quantum Conundrum is a mess. Not even talking about the game itself (which has various issues) but technically speaking it's such a barebones port and doesn't even run that great. I'm constantly getting hiccups.

Probably already mentioned, but if you have Steam minimized in the tray bar and press the Home button on the 360 pad, BPM starts up.
MAGIC.
MAGIC.
Except there's a little bug that leaves the windows bar in the foreground until you click on the BPM itself with the mouse, but well it's still in beta right?

Steam Mover to be made obsolete

It was talked about, but it's not officially out yet I suppose, it's like a beta within a beta.

In preparation for this:
I plan on deinstalling Steam from my HDD and installing it on my SSD. Obviously I want to keep my games and their respective states. Just copying my steamapps folder should suffice, right?
That's a bingo.
Yup.
I always find installing games on C: is better though, most games make save folders or install by default to C:, if not the whole thing, they still install parts there. I've gotten a few broken games in the past because they were pulling stuff from C:, while all my games were on D:.
So for that reason I'll never really use things like Steam mover or steam's own future feature for it. But it's good it's there for other people that do want it, it's been highly requested.

Fantastic. *waits*
*Phew*
So I'm not a dummy for taking as long as I have.
Still haven't finished either, but I can safely say they've upped the creativity with this one. Which is amazing, because I already thought they were best in business at creating fantastical fairy tales.
I wish I could teleport you so you could witness the game in 1080P 3D @60fps. It really is shit you would not believe.

Even without 3d the game has an amazing sense of depth on a 2d TV. This is one game I wish I had 3d for though.

If this is up for grabs I wouldn't mind giving it a go? Have been interested in playing the first one for a while.
Sold. Got a steam ID for me?
True. When I watch the videos, I can instantly tell how the game is designed from the ground up with 3D in mind. It translates well even without it.

PM sent. Thanks, that's really kind of you.
I've been on w8 rtm for about 17 days now. Steam works perfectly, including BPM and all the games I've been playing recently like dota 2, cs go and sleeping dogs.

I would love to start a thread that focuses on finding the right HTPC case for Big Picture Mode. Unfortunately, a Junior member here, but I'm hoping someone takes the initiative to create a thread that is both informative and focused on gaming in the living room.
And in case someone redirects me to the HTPCs thread: there's no discussion of gaming in those whatsoever. Thanks.

It's your idea (and an excellent one at that) so you should be the thread creator. PM a mod, maybe then can help you out.
It's been discussed in the PC thread at times. Honestly, the Alienware X51 is hands down the best HTPC case out there. Unfortunately, you do need to buy the whole system from Dell. And even though it's small, it will fit certain 660ti cards in it.
Options are kind of limited. IMO Silverstone makes the most attractive HTPC cases:

From http://www.valvetime.net/threads/source-engine-code-leak-version-2007.223834/
Was just randomly browsing and found that site with that as their latest post. Wonder how bad it could potentially be, but hopefully not at all.
Before anyone mass panics the Half Life 3 content leaked in the source code is the same as the stuff that was found in the updated SDK a little while back.

Been playing around with BPM for some time now. But I still have a question: When browsing your library is there a way to tell if a game is controller enabled (like there is when visiting the game's store page)? I have accumulated quite some games now and it is hard to remember which can be played with a controller and which can't.
There's nothing in the library section, but most store pages will list gamepad support, although not all of them do. The quickest way to find out for sure is to just ask in this thread.

OK thanks.
EDIT:
Ah cool. Will bookmark and look there first. Thanks!
