Just realised I have Mafia in my library. I've played Mafia II but not the first, is it worth playing? Reviews suggest it was good, but how does it hold up for an 11 year old game?
"Squandered potential" seems to be the consensus; good idea, poor execution.
Meaning it's a bad game?

It's the most boring game I've ever played, isn't "bad" but it's incredibly repetitive and feels like a prettier 5 dollar iphone game. Can't believe it was made by the Tropico people.
And it has the most laughably cliched(completely straight face) story I've ever experienced in a game. Really do avoid it.
That's a bingo. Even IGN gave it a 5.2.
I thought it looked cool when I initially saw it, especially given the Tropico developers. But the price wasn't cheap, and the general impressions were just kind of sad and of squandered potential like you say. Maybe next time. =(
There's a demo on Steam if you want to try it, at least.Seems like a no-purchase for me then

It's particularly relevant because it's literally the exact same thing you will be doing for 7 hours until it finally adds some varying objectives(which then repeat)

Valve store has some new plushes up
http://store.valvesoftware.com/index.php?t=2&g=7
Crazy the action figures already sold out, odd the pyro specifically is the one to come with a bonus code for stuff
I don't understand how the plushie can cost 5$ less than the balloon. The balloon seems more fragile.
I plan to get it day 1.

You can just invert the horn.
I'd recommend just sticking to the OG models, but I've always been a visual purist. Hated New Vision as the texture detail clashed with the simple geometry.
Yeah:
JaseC I really hope that isn't your computer case there.
On a side note: Is DungeonLand a yay or nay? Heard mixed things, can be fun, but bugs, p2p connection - are those statements true?
Yeah:
how does an inflatable pony feel love for a 19 girl?
Haha, nah, I have a bog standard Antec Eleven Hundred (well, with two 120mm side fans).
Yeah:
Apple logo on a PC running Windows XP and a MW3 mousepad. My mind is blown.
Don't diss Balloonicorn's setup, he's on a hair trigger and he's usually a pretty mean drunk.

Yes. I've heard that Dark Souls doesn't work because of GFWL, but I haven't tried it myself.
GFWL and Dark Souls works fine for me on Windows 8.

I decided to get around to playing Deus Ex GOTY and am running into an annoying bug. Sometimes when I pick up ammo it doesn't add it to the clip count. I noticed it happening with both my pistol and crossbow. I'm using Windows 7 and "Deus Exe". The game immediate crashed before I used "Deus Exe".
Has anyone encountered this issue and know a solution?

I'm pretty sure GFWL is integrated to W8 natively, so it actually works better (for me at least). No wait for GFWL to start or exit, which was a bit of an issue on W7.
If you add a start menu to W8 it's pretty much an improved version of W7, imo. Works great. Only issue so far is XCOM, which can be solved by running Steam and/or XCOM as administrator.
I had to uninstall and reinstall GFWL, but it worked fine after that.

Incorrect, that only applies to the new Xbox apps which are all Metro based. GfWL has to start up as per Windows 7 and earlier.
So huh...I kinda "discovered" the Steam market this morning. Like I knew it existed for a long time now but never actually looked at it.
I reinstalled TF2 to update my items (got like 11 new since the last time I launched it lol) and put everything I could sell on the market. I made over 15$ in the last hour with still 10 items left to sell. Nothing major (mostly 1$ stuff) buy hey, free money! Especially awesome since most of the items I sell are pre-order bonus I got for free because of my job lol.
Out of curiosity, what's the most expensive item on the market?

I'm going through my installed games list and trying to remove anything I'm not going to play in the immediate future or have already played through to completion. I'm looking at Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. Didn't they add all the original L4D maps to L4D2? Any reason to keep L4D1 installed?
There are some Strange Festive weapons on there for almost $200. Unusual hats aren't tradeable yet, so the really big ticket items aren't up there.
The most expensive thing I've sold so far is a Pudge hook for about $60.
Only for L4D1-exclusive achievements.
Some people prefer the balance of L4D and the less special infected.
That's about it though.
It depends in how you like to play L4D. I prefer playing the original in the way it was made rather than in 2 with the new weapons and new infected. There's a simplicity to L4D1 I really enjoy but if that's not a concern I can't think of any reason to keep it installed over 2.

I just realized 3D Mark has achievements, but I doubt I'll ever get more than one. D:

I keep hearing how Mafia 1 is such a great game but I couldn't get past the horrible driving controls in the beginning of the game to find out. I mean they are really bad. Mafia 2 is awesome though. I feel like doing another play through of that one.

The game truly is amazing. I replayed it recently, and I really enjoyed my time with it.
Edit: Wait, in which region is the first Mafia on Steam?
