I was off it for 8 months and then I got the itch after just playing one game... 340 hours in, I wish I never played that first game
On a side note, excited for 6.78 and the international this fall

Is there a report or blacklist button? Because these kinds of people are scum.
Its one thing to buy all of a bundle and try to sell/gift some of the games you don't want/already have; its another to sell all of them for a profit at ridiculous prices while denying charity.

Same. The only other bundle I'm considering is the one with Blackwell, but I don't know how I feel about buying a bundle for just Deception and spending as much for it as said game will be in the summer sale.
Tangent: has anyone played Karateka from the BM8 bundle? How are you supposed to time your blocks in that game? Most of the enemies, you can hear musical cues to give you the timing, but then you get to the end and the guy with chains doesn't have a noticeable cue for when he's kicking your ass.
Are the blackwell games good? I bought that bundle and didnt have any of the games. Started up the first one, seemed different and interesting for a pixel art adventure. How long are the games?
Much like EA Partners and Origin, Ubi doesn't encourage external development partners to use Uplay. You'll notice M&MH6 is the only externally-developed title that uses it at all.
Dota or WoW? I never played the former, except for 15 minutes when a friend came home one time.
WoW... yeah, school suffered because of it. Not my proudest period in life, that's for sure.
Nope
But IMO the best ones has keys, fairy bloom freesia for example
there
Slam Bolt Scrappers
Karateka
Patrician and DLC
Blades of time
Blood Bowl
Primordia
Rest ones are desura or drm free
Ya I was noticing that as I went through.
Drakensang is steam too. I think there might be others.
Yeah, the Blackwell series is pretty good-- they're indie from before "indie" was the cool thing to be, but they're pretty good. Telltale-length, so about 2-3 hours each.
i liked em. like little bookmarks.

It's just a carry over from the consoles I suppose, where they're mandatory, but they were implemented like that to not influence any player decisions. It is supposed to be your own story, and that's how they wanted you to play it.
Good point actually.

Yup. You see where a friend's at. So you know what you can talk about with them without spoiling, hopefully.

Just went from playing Hotline Maimi to Thomas was Alone.
whoa.
Like a complete 180 in terms of, well, everything.

I don't think the old Call of Juarez games did either. I'm really glad there wasn't some sort of weird Ubisoft DRM with Gunslinger, let alone the always online stuff I think Ubisoft experimented with.
Did Blood Dragon have any special UPlay or DRM stuff attached?

Ok, here's a question for you Steam pros.
When you add a non-Steam game to the library, up comes the window with all the software installed on your machine, right? "Add a Game".
Where does Steam take that info from? Because it really doesn't match with what I have actually installed on my machine (or what's shown when I go to uninstall programs via the control panel) - there's lots of outdated info and software in there, things long since uninstalled, yet they still pop up every time.
Any ideas?

I don't think so. They already have a stats system in place, which shows the amount of people who picked certain choices in the games. Using the achievements too would be redundant.
And it's like a 360° in terms of quality!
I really liked the first one, but the other two went into pretty boring and overdone territories (and even the pixelart style becomes imo much less enjoyable), specially three. also it's like every game has less and less mechanics for some reason.
I heard the fourth one is actually back to form, so maybe they manage to make it cool again. still gotta try it out, just gotta beat dust first
they're pretty short, you can probably beat all four in a week if you put your heart to it
From my quick search using Process Monitor, it seems to check the Roaming folder in AppData.
C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Blood Dragon had UPlay

I've gone through the first two and I think they're pretty solid adventure games. Took me about 2 hours to beat each game.

Guys, I need to take my mind off work. In the recent bundles, can I find games that can be played (in their entirety) in like 30 minutes? I thought someone talk about Dear Esther that way but I'm not sure.
Proteus, Karateka
I found Proteus to be quite soothing, just know that's it's more of an interactive experience. It does have a finale though.

Quakecon is the one time a year that everyone remembers that Quake Live still exists.
I recently played Dear Esther, and I'll explain it like this:
It was relaxing game, and an experience in which you don't need to think much. It was nice putting together the story told throughout it as well. All together, I put about an hour and a half into it.

The first three games in the saga are around 2-3h hours long, but Blackwell Deception should be longer than the others (it took me almost 5h to finish).
It's a really good series, well written and funny. The meta-story also become really interesting with the third and fourth games (if I remember correctly). I cannot wait for Blackwell Epiphany.

Oh my goodness, what a simple explanation. That got me on the right track (there are two folders feeding into the start menu, and I was only updating one - the other was the culprit, containing plenty of outdated software).
And here I was checking the registry and other deep files - never would've thought Steam was taking its info from a simple folder responsible for the start menu. :lol Thanks!

Yep, I know. Can't do more than 25 seconds on Hyper Hexagonest, it's crazy.

I heard if you last 20 minutes it unlocks the trailer to Half-Life 3.

I'm going to be streaming a bit of Remember Me, if anyone's interested in checking it out.

Can anyone take screenshots of Gunpoint using Steam? I tried, it doesn't work for me (even when I change the shortcut).
He's ignoring the chat too so he doesn't know we can't see!
So far from the audio I can tell that the game has to do with memory (so the name "Remember Me" makes sense), and there are lots of fight sounds so it's probably a beat 'em up game. I think there's some energetic music durings fights which is pretty cool, actually.
It's a decent simulation of what it would be like to be blind in a cyberpunk world in which you're fighting thugs.
