Damn and I thought my problems of 10-20 seconds of lag when changing zones was a pain in the ass. Wish I was more familiar with AMD gpus to help out. Hopefully you can resolve it soon.

Does anyone have a link to the thread where people can help out Steam GAF buy games that are region restricted? I really need to get Rage at that price.
one thing i noticed with Rage is that if u start a game and then later make drastic graphics changes, the game will look and run terrible. its like it can't recover properly. (maybe i didn't let it run long enough to clear itself up)
but anyway, starting a new game clears that shit up.
example ...i'm running 2 gtx560 cards. i start Rage with SLI disabled ...it'll run fine. if i later start the game up (load my save game) with SLI enabled, it was a mess. had to either disable SLI, or start a new game.
weird shit.
i'll have to check it again, but yeah ...that was some strange stuff.

After Machinarium I wanted to continue Gemini Rue but I just found out It's having another problem.
Apparently some Wadjet Eye games are having problems with the achievement system, and are not unlocking properly. It's not a game breaking deal, but it's still annoying.
I still love you Wadjet Eye, and I know the problem has to do with the engine (which you didn't make), but I would really like to finish your games without any problems

Beaten all the Blackwell games and Gemini Rue and never managed to get the achievements working. I think I got a few in Gemini Rue, but I don't know what I did. It is pretty annoyingAfter Machinarium I wanted to continue Gemini Rue but I just found out It's having another problem.

Impulse resisted, no Rage for me...
Steamworks is a suite of things that integrate into steam like achievements, stat tracking, server browsing, DRM.
When most people ask "is this game steamworks/does it activate on steam", they really mean, does this game have retail support, which is another part of Steamworks (i.e. activation). I wish the term "Retail Support" would feature more on store game pages or somewhere but I guess that'd be a terrible idea and would mean people would just know where to buy their games from and then use the key to activate on Steam.
Retail support typically entails at least achievements if not anything else, which is usually the standard for "can I activate it on Steam?"
Thankfully the Puppygames dev showed some mercy and returned the first game we bought, to all of us we exploided the BIRTHDAYBOY code. I was pissed when I saw that Titan Attacks was removed from my library (I already had ROTT), but there it is again.
Mine did not return, but his blog post says to register the game via email first and then try it. We'll see if it works.

Thanks for the heads up, I was playing through it myself and had wondered why I wasn't getting any of them.

I had gone through the initial order process but I never did get my Steam code. Tried again today through the email registration process and got my Steam code within 30 seconds, about a minute later I had activated it and was playing on Steam.
Really nice of him to come through like this. I only tried to register one game though, maybe that is the factor in which ones go through?

You have to download the demo from their website, punch in the email address you used for the purchase back on the day, the game will unlock, and then go back to their website, request a Steam key for the game (obviously with the same address) and you're set.
Out of curiosity, is there anybody out there who doesn't have the beta to DOTA2 who's still looking for it?
I ask because I have been checking out the trading forums over on SPUF and there seems to be a shit load of copies up for trade. It's really devalued any market price that the beta might have had. I'm seeing people offering it for a copy of Half Life 2 (which has almost no trade value).
With this many copies floating around out there, is there any poor soul who's still waiting for Valve to send them an invite? Unfortunately, I don't have a copy if anybody needs one. I'm just curious.

Big shout out to Le-mo for getting me Rage. Now for the 21gb download

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
There we go, my two Titans game vanished.
When did you get a Dota2 invite? I got mine during the winter sale (from valve) and I only just got my 2 extra copies maybe a few weeks ago. Guess they are on a delay now?
Super Hyper WTF?:
So my net is running a bit sluggish, can't figure out why so I reboot the router. I glance at it after a reboot and see the downloading light flickering like mad, so I check my system tray and the Steam icon is showing as downloading, so I check it...
...it's downloading MW3, the whole 10gig or whatever it is.
I own the game but it's been un-installed for months, not touched it and not requested a re-download at any point.
So Steam has taken it upon itself to start downloading games on it's own?

I thought I posted it yesterday, must have been really tired. Sorry for not helping you out, it was one game per customer only and I already bought it for someone else.

Gaikai is testing a cloud-based version of Portal 2 and this site believes that it might be because Valve and Gaikai are teaming up to bring cloud-gaming to Steam:

I don't think I've ever seen Steam download a game that's not installed/required -- are you sure you didn't accidentally click install or something?
There was a free MW3 weekend and MW3 started to download by itself (at least for me and some friends). Maybe for some weird reason your download crashed and continued when you rebooted your router?
The congratulatory e-mail is timestamped 21st of March at 4:11 AM local time (GMT/UTC+8). 4 weeks ago to the day.
Edit: March, not April, haha.
To the Moon is finally coming to Steam. I suggest everyone should buy it.

Strangely this has been happening with me for Mass Effect 2. I started downloading it some time ago, about half way through the download, I decided I don't want to play it anymore, so paused it and then deleted it via steam. Now every now and again it creeps up in my download queue.
At this stage, if it pops up again, I'll just finish the download. and then delete it :/

RPG maker? ...My instincts are telling me to pass.

this...
i saw that it was a GFWL title, so I backed away. worth it? or buy on console?
Nah it won some awards and has a great soundtrack. Definetly a +
Calling it merely a 'RPG maker game' is selling it a little short. There's a reason people are excited it is coming to Steam.

would be kinda cool if you could play a cloud-based version while you're still downloading the real version.
or if you buy something before going to bed or work or whatever and just want to have a quick look.

Please stay away from cloud gaming Valve . Use it for save files, but nothing more. That´s taking DRM several steps too far.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

There's nothing to worry about. They'll just use this to make free demo versions of every game on Steam.

Don't let this fool you - it's actually something rather special.
Gamespot gave it "best writing" out of all games in 2011. It's got a great soundtrack, AND it has got crazy good reviews across the board: http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/to-the-moon
Seriously - give this game a shot.
Indie Royale Spring Bundle is up with 3 Steam games - Unstoppable Gorg, Tobe's Vertical Adventure, and Depths of Peril. Other games are Inferno+, Slydris, and Ballistic.

I actually need to try this. I've mostly just deleted the stuff it creates in the steamapps folder. Steam has been stable as of late for me, so have not had an issue with login problems, hence not deleting that file.
