It works through the app. You can only start downloading games you just purchased, not ones already in your library.
Click to expand...

The mobile version of the Steam Community website also allows you to manage downloads, so if you visit your profile from within the app, you can view your games list and initiate a download.

I've always found it interesting that the mobile version of the Steam Community website lists the correct amount of games you own yet the desktop flavour also includes DLC and the like.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

Bus it was really cool that you just bought those two games at work to show us how it works!
Click to expand...

I bought the first one to see if it worked. Then, because I didn't want to give any inaccurate information or maybe if it was just a fluke, I bought a second game to make sure. I was going to buy a third game, but then I checked my bank account and I was in the overdraft.

So now I got my kid on my fucking case asking for food. Jesus. Grown-up problems. =/

Nothing hits the spot quite like a Sophie's Choice over food and videogames.

I had already preordered Fez based on Fish's endearing personality, but it was only after that that I learned that apparently the puzzles in Fez are nearly impossible to solve alone, and it literally took the entire internet community weeks to solve some of them, not exaggerating.

Are those just extra crazy puzzles for secrets or something, and the main game is decent and can be completed alone?

Exactly two puzzles, both of which are totally unrequired for completing the game in any sense, require user collaboration or significant work outside the game.

That scary.

And wonderfully glitchy too. Twice I've exited a room only for nothing to load and the screen to go completely white. Meanwhile some monster is screaming at me and hacking away whilst I shoot blindly at nothing.

:( :( :(

Very good game, amazing for the price. Between that and Minerva it is the natural evolution of steam. Pay nothing and still have a backlog... what an age we live in.

Do these mods appear as separate entries on the Steam library, or do they replace the game they are a mod of?

8 minutes until my Fez download is completed.

Installing FEZ now. Now, where be thy FC3 Blood Dragon.

First time running FEZ and it does nothing in the first room. Retrying again.

oh gawd, 3DMark actually has achievements. I see at least two that my rig has no shot at unlocking lol. Some of those are pretty hilarious, from a technical standpoint (as in possibly requiring liquid nitrogen).

Hey guys, what 3d mark score do you get for your rig?

Also what games are you hoping for on the summer sale?

PS- how many hours do you have played in your games etc. etc.

Thank you sir, that doesn't sound too bad. I skipped the crazy Braid stuff like holding a button down for an hour or whatnot.

I first played the game on the X360 way back when and went off to do other things while I waited for the cloud, but of course I forgot all about it; even after 20-odd minutes of rewinding I still didn't see the damn thing, so I had to start over.

No. Not it's not lol. Not by far.

The first five minutes are bearable. Then you have to play it. I still can't wrap my head around why I completed it, every single aspect and gameplay mechanic was so boring, repetitive and ill thought out imo.



Sounds like FC2 alright.

I see my experience wasn't isolated.


Well FC3:BD comes out today so hopefully that's good.

When I preordered FEZ there was only the normal version, not the FEZ Soundtrack Edition.

The subs containing the soundtrack were made just two hours ago (though the soundtrack itself was added to the registry almost a day ago now).

Could I possibly get Vigil? I've been interested in it as a fan of adventure games, but haven't picked it up for whatever reason.

EDIT: You can give Scratches to sulc84. I'll grab it in the summer sale.
