Aside from potentially the single-source issue, that article rubs me a little bit the wrong way with "Valve Corporation is known for a number of violent shooters including the Half Life series and Left 4 Dead, as well as content service Steam."
What does "violent shooters" have to do with the topic? And violent as opposed to non-violent shooters?
Furthermore, Kim Swift's virginity game effort was replaced by a two-woman team, and those two women (with only 36 hours to design and create a game) won the competition...and yet the article says nothing about what kind of game they made, and whether it was a violent shooter or not.

The point being that violence and sexuality (along with language and drug use and tons of stuff) can both be considered somewhat taboo (especially for younger people) and they've already crossed one of those.Aside from potentially the single-source issue, that article rubs me a little bit the wrong way with "Valve Corporation is known for a number of violent shooters including the Half Life series and Left 4 Dead, as well as content service Steam."

Can't you just uninstall it?
Resistance makes it stronger.
Not really sure where to ask this so I figured this would be as good a thread as any:
1) Is there any way to make the Steam UI window retain its size after closing down games? After quitting most games, the window resizes itself to become very small.
2) How can I add DosBox games as a Non-Steam game?
3) Related to number 2, how can I add ScummVM games?
Thanks in advance if any Steam experts could advise on these issues!

Gif probably incoming.
Violence is obviously not taboo for videogames, considering that shooters like Half-life 2 have been around for quite some time. The Orange Box was rated M, so obviously it's not intended for young people, so that doesn't apply either. And whether or not it's right, violence/shooting of various sorts has long been (long?) accepted in movies and games, but showing female nipples is a serious taboo, for example. So that's not unique to games, or Valve.
It's kind of weird to mention that, especially without saying what theme the game had that replaced it, etc. Just seems like a bit more information is needed.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Give your account to me. You can tell people I took it by force.
Give it to me and I'll do what you should have done ten minutes ago.

The fact they they have to mention what Valve is known for shows that this isn't really written for anyone in the "culture" of video games and more for society as a whole, where it is still more or less taboo regardless of ratings. She's pointing it out to show how absurd it is that you can break some societal "rules" and norms but when you break others in the same fashion your entry gets presumably pulled.
And the story isn't about what replaced it or even the contest really, it's about that specific entry being pulled so I don't feel like I'm missing anything terribly important by not hearing more about the other stuff.
For the record, this is the natural progression the Gabe gaze image should take from now on:
Fixed.

Kim Swift obviously left because Valve chose not to make Quantum Conundrum as Portal 2 during the Portal 2 brainstorming month. She really wanted to make it so she left.

Don't do it! I let him and he threw my whole computer in the river.
Uninstall it and play Orcs must die! instead. It's the better game anyway.
I would like to give a shout-out to PrematureQuiche for helping me get Max Payne 3 for $50 (its $89.99USD here)
Just on that point I'm extremely disappointed with both Valve and Rockstar that the preload went up 12 hours before release instead of a good few days to a week beforehand on a 29.2gig game. I'm not going to get to play the game for another 5 days now at this rate. I'm downloading at 1BYTE to 600KB per second, with an average of 150KB. When i normally get closer to 2mb per second. I have being changing servers so much i even got a comment from a friend on why im logging in and out all the time. Needless to say im getting shit speeds from every server when downloading MP3.
Also i clocked Alice since owning from the Xmas sale in December. I was not happy.

Feel like sending one my way?
Heh, you know, I would. But despite getting that pop-up there actually aren't any invites in my inventory.

Does the Alien Breed Trilogy worth $5.74? I'm thinking in buying it! Some advices?

No. It's not worth anything. It is one of the most excruciating tests of endurance the human mind can be put through when it comes to videogames.
Oh shit, did this page just go up? Wishlisted.

No mention of GFWL? False advertising or truth? Not up for pre-order so not false advertising yet.

I hadn't heard that yet.
Figures they'd fuck it up somehow. Oh well still have my console version.

Well, I think it's around $20. When I obtained mine, I traded $20 worth of titles for the invite. And when I was awarded additional invites two months ago, I traded those two invites for a copy of Serious Sam 3 and SPAZ.
Dark Souls on PC....../tear.

Where do you trade? I have a key. Love to trade it for $20 in games.
not much at the moment. before the recent update, it was going for about 6-8 keys. should be lesser now i think.

Anyone know if Saints Row the Third still runs like shit on ATI cards? I'm re-verifying some Steam files right now, so I haven't been able to check.
I was also getting constant crashes and missing textures on Superbrothers: Sword and Sorcery until disabled the Catalyst AI. I'm so going with Nividia the next time I get a new PC.
