Somebody mentioned Curt Schilling mentioning in a tweet that it would definitely be on Steam somewhere. Can't remember where I saw it though.

Edit: Oh wait, you guys are talking about the fucking DEMO? Jesus, just download it on Origin.

I'm a sucker for free-roaming space games, I'll keep my eye on it.
Apparently this guy worked out a way to remove the 30FPS cap on Costume Quest. It uses the same method as LA Noire.
He says it works but i haven't done it myself.

I've got an extra copy of Dead Space 2 if anybody wants it at this weekend's sale price ($5 US) via Paypal. PM if so.

I sort all my bundle emails with the links to the download pages into a special folder on Gmail, lol.
Yeah, given that I bought all the ME2 DLC at 80% off on 360 I'm actually much more confident in it going on sale there than on Origin.

When Origin has a storewide sale, you can buy Bioware Moonbucks. I don't know much about it, but it may also work for 360 dlc.
Yeah, I did the same. I stocked up on points while they were half off, so I don't have to sweat the DLC situation, but it's certainly a lousy alternative to buying the DLC through Steam. It's almost as bad as Games For Windows Marketplace (now Xbox.com). I feel like a total dingus for buying Arkham City outside of Steam, since now Xbox.com the only place I can buy the ludicrously overpriced DLC from, and they don't bother with putting up any worthwhile sales.
edit - but then again, unlike Bioware Social, Microsoft actually let you use REAL LIFE money to purchase content which is nice.
Yeah just the demo. And if I'm going to refuse whole games that use Origin I'm certainly not going to break that for a mere demo. I have a ps3 for that anyway.

Sonic 4 episode 1 just got added to the reg (again), along with the retail version (amazon/gg/d2d?). I guess we may get it soon.
There is a new beta update for the Steam client:

It taunts us.
Hehe, that might actually work!
This has been pure torture, you're enjoying this! You monster :<
Any brave soul want to spread the good word on Evochron? Would really like to get some impressions of it.

I'd like to see some too. There's also a demo on the official site.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
I'd like to know if Mercenary has decent 360 controller defaults to play with too, I had the last game (Legends) but when I can't get a decent control setup to start with I dunno how the rest is... And I'm not totally clueless, I did manage to configure things like Freespace 2 and Tachyon pretty damn well with some tweaking... I haven't even bothered downloading the new demo...

Not in the demo and it didn't seem to detect the triggers either. Just bumpers and face buttons.
It technically detected the joystick out of the box it just didn't seem to actually control anything except looking around. It didn't seem to control acceleration or anything. Not sure, I'll have to mess with the default again later. Also it was constantly moving to the right. You at least need to increase the dead zone to play it with a controller as that fixed it immediately.
Well, not entirely! I figured I might as well try and spread the word that there's a possible OS X release, too! No idea about hardware requirements, but for Dustforce I'll assume it's similar to the Windows requirements.
Been playing Stalker: Clear Sky off and on this past week. Had some various issues with it initially, but I'm really enjoying it now that I've made some progress; currently in the Dark Valley, I think, which I'm having fun exploring. And by progress, of course, I mean it doesn't take me eighty bullets to ice one guy anymore because I have a few proper guns now.
Too bad it's choppy like whoa if you try to max the game. It's actually the prettiest Stalker, but none of the good stuff seems optimized very well.

I wish someone would make a free roaming space game for idiots. I've tried to get into X3 but it's simply beyond the capabilities of my brain. I'll check out Evochron but it sounds like I could run into the same problem.
Are you playing with the Complete mod? I love SoC and CoP but I haven't got around to playing Clear Sky yet. Maybe it's time to install that bitch.

You have to configurate it, but everything works except the dpad.

That said, playing with the keyboard near is not a bad idea, because you can set the main things on the controller, but not all of them:

Yeah, I wouldn't roll without the Complete mod. Clear Sky is still a bit of a mess without it.
If you do decide to try it out, give it some time. I kind of liked the initial swamp area, but I hit a slump once I left that and wasn't interested in playing more, so I shelved it for a few months. Regret that! Still Stalker fun to be had, even if I prefer the other two thus far.

Valve has said previously that's something that they want to do. They want to bring Steam to smartphones and the community features were the first things that they wanted to bring over.

Ok, is there any game on STEAM that closely resembles Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri?
Galactic Civilizations 2, to a degree. You can buy the SMAC (sans expansion pack) for $6 at GoG.

Evochron is the third highest selling game on steam (beating $60 mw3!) and I still don't see impressions!
You willing to give away that Bioshock 2 coupon ?
Playing Mass Effect....Why the fuck is the Mako a special ed bus? It hits a pebble in the road and I'm doing a triple flip in air. Bioware should never be allowed to design any physics or car driving ever. Its like GTA4 with the Zero gravity mod on, in a garage truck. So you have zero control over steering.
Found a picture of my very first Steam purchase/download
Best value ever.
Wow, my first was the Orange box in December 2009. Now I have over 440 (Legit, I counted them) games on Steam
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Thank you! I'm a sucker for space games but $20 is too steep for me to go in blind.
I just finish Gemini Rue, great game ¿some impression on The Blackwell Bundle?
And still you had better internet conexion in that day than me right now fuck you internet monopoly in Mexico

fuck you internet monopoly in Mexico I recall purchasing the Source Premier Pack when I landed my first post-high school job in 2006, but it's listed as "complimentary". *shrug* (Yes, I didn't play Half-Life 2 until 2006. )
The first item that's listed as a store purchase is the Abe's Oddysee & Exoddus pack.
Edit: Those weren't my first games, however. Both my current (Feb. 2006) and previous (circa 2003) Steam accounts were registered with a key from the Half-Life Platinum Pack. The GoldSrc games were all I owned on Steam for 3 years.

The first game I bought in the Steam Store was Ragdoll Kungfu. ._.

I registered my HL1 GOTY keys on a couple different accounts shortly before HL2 dropped. I still remember HL2's release so clearly. What an amazing afternoon.
Dustforce page is up.
Brought my lunch the past couple days to help rationalize the purchase.
I'm ready!
First wishlist game of the year
