Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
In my experience they still save on to the hard-drive. Steam Cloud just makes a backup online and replaces the file if it isn't found locally.

Steam cloud saves are already on HDD... Look in Program Files\Steam\userdata\<steam id>\<game id>.
Ohhh God I received a gift from a friend, I finally got DOTA2
Hey, congratulations. Now I don't feel bad about trading the copy that I had instead of giving it to you.

Thank you and believe me there's no problem bro, I know and understand that sometimes we want to find what is the best for us, so don't feel bad bro, also you said clearly "If I don't find any good offer, I'll give it to Leon Belmont" so you found a good offer and I'm happy for that

Yeah. I remember reading on Twitter that Valve is done with this failed experiment of "sales."
We'll all be switched over to the Aussie storefront by midnight.
The Guild 2 is the daily @ 75% off ($2.49): http://store.steampowered.com/app/39650/

So the guild 2 is... Sims meets fable?
That's true. 2K Week was April last year, so guess gotta wait another month and a half before something like it.
The Guild 2 is a good game, good time this to pick up the Renaissance standalone expansion.
As for what it is, Sims meets Fable, not really. I would say at its core it's a business simulation, you advance your business ventures and with the wealth you gain from that you can try to gain influence and political power. I would say it's a bit like the Patrician games except smaller scale, more focused on the production side than the trade side and with more RPG elements. It's pretty fun to develop your businesses in such a way and to mess with competitors through both legal and illegal means. I will warn anyone though that it's not without flaws, it's got a certain degree of Eurojank to it. If you're used to that, it'll be fine, if you're not, you should probably skip it.

That sounds quite good actually. For someone who's never played it, would you recommend just the first game, or get the complete pack while that's on sale as well?
Going by the description, I'd say just get Renaissance.

Wait, is there a point buying the first game when one can buy Renaissance?
There doesn't seem to be, Renaissance is stand-alone, and given the improvements they list (certainly in terms of AI, improvements are welcome), I don't see any reason to ever boot up the original again. Seems to be a situation akin to X3, where Terran Conflict makes it unnecessary to own the original X3.
Renaissance is the best if you're just looking for one. It has all the features of the earlier games (and more). But.. each of the games has different campaign's - world areas and what not. Each game has a different one in fact, so if you're into that - that's the only difference.

I'll take it, if you don't mind
I have nothing to offer in return though, alas.
You can have it! PM'd
True story, I bought Renaissance for him in exchange for a Renegade Ops key. Thanks, Ookami-kun.
...except that I didn't know beforehand that RO was among the handful of PC games that doesn't work in Windows XP.
Oh well, time to upgrade, I guess. Anyone know where I can get a cheap Win 7 Pro/Ulti Edition? Gotta have that XP compatibility!

If you're a student in the States, I believe you can get Windows 7 for free or at a crazy discounted price.
I don't know if it's Pro/Ultimate though.

I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS!

Irritates me, same as the Civilization Mac versions on my list.
I assume it counts them as part of your games list as they are counted as part of the - number to tell you how many games are installed.

Yeah, it would be nice to have the option to hide things. I have a bunch of beta games that I can't get rid of either.

Can anyone start any of their games right now?
Edit: Never mind I restarted Steam and they loaded up correctly.

The new WWE Wrestlefest is now in the Coming Soon list: http://store.steampowered.com/app/201550/
Unfortunately, I'm in the UK, and most certainly not a student
Is there really no legal way to get Win7 for cheaper than the hundred-odd quid they charge for it?

If it's anything like the iPhone version I'm sure it's awful.
I thought this was funny

Oh yuck, that's awful. I saw someone bringing this up earlier, didn't hit me that the regular version would still be listed.
After i finished Max Payne and wait 2 weeks (to digest the "change" of character) i start the second one..really really enjoy these 2 games, great action, atmosphere with soul, with appropriate difficulty (although the first part suffers from significant peaks in my point of view) plus perhaps a system of at least 2 checkpoints by chapter
Simply both games dont feel old...are two really fun games....(you listen this Id? with your boring Rage?)
I still like more the history of Max Payne of the first part(maybe for impact) and i love the char of the first game...but well the second part is better in overall...

We have hit a new low when the new 'console port' is the iPad port.
I don't know anything about this game but a direct port from the iOS version i'm guessing and they didn't even remove the virtual buttons?
Would be hilarious if it costs anything more than a dollar on Steam.
This first time I saw this was with the Broken Sword Directors Cut PC release. It's all kind of disgusting.

THQ.I'm more curious about how Valve let it on Steam, considering how tough I've heard it is for some indie people to get on there, lol.
Maybe it'll require Windows 8 and a tablet interface to work.
It's easier to get on Steam if:
-You're a big publisher like THQ
-You've published something on Steam before
-IGF
Lots and lots of tablet ports are coming to Steam btw.

If not for the great feedback, I never would have known about an updated The Guild II: Renaissance and would have simply dismissed the sale due to the multitude of criticism I had previously heard about the many unfixed bugs in the original game. Thank you!

So we get games like WWE WrestleFest and Dino D-Day but yet they rejected Unity of Command, Din's Curse, and Noitu Love 2?? But at one point Evochron Mercenary, Space Pirates and Zombies, and Gemini Rue were also rejected for some time before they were eventually added... The Steam submission process seems really flawed or broken.
I really want a Steam version of Unity of Command and Din's Curse.

Dino D-Day..... really?
I was gonna make a crack about having to be high to group that with the WWE game, but then it occurred to me that Dino D-Day would be even more awesome while high.

It's actually easy to explain this: each game submitted to Steam is reviewed by one person on their (review) team. While one guy may think a game is terrible, another one may think it's good enough. Valve employees don't really have bosses, so it's a mess like that.
So yes, it's extremely flawed, much like Steam Support.

Yeah man, they need to port WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game, and include online multi, that would be badass.

I don't know the story behind this, but it must be something technical like it not playing nice with the overlay...or something (I'm grasping at straws), because UoC is quality, yeah?
It's the perfect gateway drug to war gaming, but sorely needs a demo to have a chance of drawing in those new to the genre.
Might be a little relatively expensive at its current $30 in the Steam environment, too, but the boost in sales and profile would surely accommodate a lower price anyway.
