Tonight in TF2, ClassyPenguin had this as a spray.
It is how you know that it is a GAF server.
Hahaha. Yeah ok. I worked it out that even if I could finish one game a day off my Steam backlog it would take me 3 years. What would you be up to? 10?
Come on, having a full Steam catalog on your account is a big responsibility. Besides, JaseC is the best way to find out about promos on Steam. Why would I check some other websites when all I have to do is to look at the "your friends bought" section?
Does it charge you in $ though causing credit card exchange fees?
Yeah, you're charged in USD.
Either of those prices are way better than Aus pricing. $22.49 USD here
I didn't say I would play them, just that I'd feel more inclined to.
There are plenty of games I'm not interested in whatsoever and would only actually play if they were part of another achievement hunt.I think it was CrimeCraft that had the Winter Sale 2011 achievement requiring you to kill a bunch of people with a snowball or some such. I'd label that as the worst of the bunch.
Can't we call it Pii U instead?
EDIT: damn you Salsa, beaten like my self-esteem after a session of Fez
I wanna cry.

I would if they fleshed it out as its own section. They should really find a way to incorporate all the data on the friends' activity page back to steamcommunity

I use that feature as a race for JaseC and Xelios to see who bought more games today. Not as much fun as watching the washing machine but it fills the day.

It's broken on Win8

Download DLL file and/or unplug game controllers and then it works.
I'm taking it (relatively) easy until the Summer Sale; no purchasing something that's less than 70-75% off unless the reduced price is around the $5 mark (or the game is liable to be pulled in the near future). The less I buy now the more I can buy a little later.
Just in time for the Summer Sale! I'm still waiting for Ski Region Simulator to be greenlit.
Nope, though I'd like think there'll be an overhaul to coincide with the launch of the Steambox, if not earlier.
Thanks, the dll fixed it.

Hahaha does anybody? Christ some of the stuff I have that came with bundles I doubt I'll ever download let alone play. Pads out the numbers nicely though.

I adopted this rule a year or so back and it really cut down on what I was buying.I'm taking it (relatively) easy until the Summer Sale; no purchasing something that's less than 70-75% off unless the reduced price is around the $5 mark (or the game is liable to be pulled in the near future). The less I buy now the more I can buy a little later.
Stuff I'd get at $7.50 or whatever before I was like "naw, I can wait for $5."
Some stuff, although it doesn't particularly grab me, I am curious about, though. Like Cabela's hunting games, for instance.
If it weren't for DLC in one's game count going the way of the dodo I wouldn't be able to control myself.

I haven't had the Steam client crash in a long ass time. You might want to look into your PC.
Yes it does. Any money spent in foreign currency costs me £1.25 as well as a small percentage. In the case of Amazon, best way to do it is by giving a US gaffer $ through Paypal to make the purchase for me. Paypal also charge a percentage, but it can work out better on smaller purchases depending on your bank.
It's weird that you can still click "Purchase For Myself" for the Wonders DLC. Most of the time, the check is done before then and you're only give the gift option in the cart. Oh well, glad they have a second check for stuff like this.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
And Civ 5 BNW 10% off in GMG is also that?

I've played about an hour of The Walking Dead and they are really running this 'daddy-daughter' thing into the ground.
The first check is just the same as the store check, AFAIK. There are times where if Steam is having server issues or they're under heavy load you need to refresh the page for the "You already own..." banner to appear.
Yeah. This game isn't for me. I think I got towards the end of Episode one before I quit for good.
I should have known since I think point and click adventure games are super boring, but I thought the story was supposed to be mind-blowing. It's only good if we're grading on the video-game curve.
I think it's different. I check Korea/Wonders in-between watching the washing machine and it's always the same.

Such a shame, I realize it has a slow start but throughout the story I got more attached and distant to certain characters that really left an emotional impact on me. Loved that game- so much in fact here is a code for the whole game-in its entirety
Q30RT-89HKT-BPIJH
idle threat:whoever takes it better play through to completion though
Korea comes up as already owned for me (on the store page, that is). Of all the Civ V content it's just Ancient Wonders that's buggered, which Steam doesn't pick up on until checkout.

I'm digging the story (though I feel the same about P&C games like you). I'm a sucker for zombie shit. I love the limited time you get to make choices and the game gives 0 fucks if you don't make a choice. First time I had to choose between two people, I ran out of time and stood there while it all went to hell.
It's just annoying that every new character you meet assuming daddy-daughter...leaving Lee to explain everything over and over.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Must...resist...taking...key...
Anyhow, just finished Thomas Was Alone. Brilliant little indie platformer. Didn't find it anything special untill somewhere around chapter four, when it really starts to grow on you. Very simple, but very fun. Story's a bit more then expected aswell.
Short though, around four hours.

If adventure games aren't your thing and what you played of it didn't grab you, that's fine, it's your time and you know best how to spend it. But you really can't judge The Walking Dead's story as a whole just from a little bit of Episode 1. Everything leading up to the last five minutes of Ep 1 is just prologue.
Yep. I've never seen Ancient Wonders not buggered, and I check the store pretty much every time someone asks, "Does GOTY include all the DLC?" Which they don't ask much anymore, but it wouldn't have been a bad idea to add a Civ V DLC Guide to the OP.
How did we live before Enhanced Steam, anyway?
I thought Episode 2 was incredibly strong, especially that ending, but matters of taste.
Let us know your reaction to Episode 3?
Opening several tabs only to discover that most of them contain a game you already have.
Enhanced Steam isn't exactly perfect but it's a neat little time saver.I read this out of context and thought you were talking about that other Episode 2.
Random Hotline Miami question.
I've opted into the beta and updated the game on the hope it would let me get the final achievement.
When I loaded and exited the game my Steam game listing shows the game as having 35/35 achievements, however when I click on the detail for the achievements it still shows 34?? This has been like this through steam resets and multiple loadings of the game itself.
Anybody else have this issue?

Dingotech, I did the same you did, started the game and quit. Then, under the game details it would showed 35/35 but on my profile, under achievement progress, it appeared as 34/35.
So I started the game again and played the first mission Prelude and the achievement popped up just a few seconds later like any other using the steam overlay. After that, the issue was resolved.
Hope that helps
E1 was excellent, yes. I don't remember much of what happened in which episode, but it was one of my favorites.
Without spoiling anything, E2 had a part near the end that I found incredibly frustrating, and had to replay no less than 10 times.
What gets me is when the dialogue seems to be making no sense regarding my choices. That's what's tearing me out of it. I feel like I mine as well just randomly choose, if some dude's gonna lecture me for a dialogue tree I didn't choose anyways.

Thanks! I will have to give that a try and see if it helps. I definitely didn't see the achievement notice pop previously
