Have to sleep now.

Wonder if PM box will have a "1 unread message" when I wake up.

Spoiler

now don't troll me you guys

 

[RionaaM]

Try The Nameless Mod if you want more Deus Ex. It's an entirely new story to play that's a bit on the sillier side but holds true to the game's design.

I want, I want!!! More Deus Ex goodness sounds delicious. Gonna try this soon!

Why I haven't played IW and HR yet, I have no idea.

Enhanced Steam for Firefox has now been officially updated to version 3.7

This is the fastest review process to date, and I'm hoping now that Enhanced Steam has been fully certified by Mozilla (it's not an "experimental plugin" anymore!) that future reviews will be equally quick.

This will, of course, allow me to keep the Firefox version as close to the Chrome version as possible going forward.

list view with icons master race here. only if the icons were bigger though, 32px instead of the current 16px.

 

[Grief.exe]

Grid view is just too sexy

 

[tjohn86]

Detail View/No Icon is the only right way to Steam.

This guy gets it.

 

[nexen]

How can you stand grid view with so many games?

 

[RionaaM]

Detail View/No Icon is the only right way to Steam.

No icon? Do you also browse the internet with Lynx?

 

[Syphon Filter]

No icon? Do you also browse the internet with Lynx?

icon is redundant in detail view since it has one on the right side.

 

[~Kinggi~]

I use list view, cause thats what real man with a taste for life do. YEAAH

 

[def sim]

All over the place publisher, developer, genre list categories is where it's at.

 

[Dawg]

Grid view is just too sexy

Only negative point is that I have to scroll and it takes me longer to find a game.

The sexy icons make up for it though.

It's really well done, and I don't want to even add the caveat for a mod. Has its own tunes, custom weapons, loads of voiced dialogue, and is even comparable in length to Deus Ex proper; it's just all 'round impressive.

And not far into the game you can have a roughly half-hour conversation with a store clerk about Deus Ex's itself and its themes, so there's that.

 

[Fuu]

Grid view gets old quick imo since 90% of the time I just want to quickly find and launch things (I do it through the system tray Steam icon more often than not actually). It's cool to see all those pictures once in a while though.

I used to leave it in detailed view with all the extraneous info but I'm totally a list view convert now, it has the best of all worlds. It also has the god-tier "size on disk" feature:

Just notice this pretty useful feature in list view.

 

[YianGaruga]

Sure, if you want all of that excess. Small mode or go home.

I totally forgot that exists. Since I do most non-game playing Steam things in the browser anyway (thanks based jshackles), I might start using this.

Big words coming from the one guy on the planet still using Opera.

 

[RionaaM]

But then the list on the left looks boring as fuck.

Or maybe even a little more boring than fuck.

Haha, that's really meta. You've sold me well, and it sounds like something I'd pay for. It's free, right?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Liking Castlestorm so far. Fresh take on tower defense. Only complaint would be a lack of rebindable keys.

Speaking of TD...

How do we feel about Fortix 2, the lowest priced game on Steam?

 

[Lingitiz]

How can you stand grid view with so many games?

I put what I'm playing into favorites.

 

[cammy84]

I am tempted by Castlestorm but I think I will wait for a couple more opinions before I buy. My wishlist just keeps on growing

 

[derExperte]

Fortix 2 isn't TD, it's a Qix clone.

Correct.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Probably, although i personally think the entire client needs an overhaul. The library section is not aesthetically pleasing. The list view with icons should have an option for bigger icons sort of how windows lets you choose different size icons.

Big words coming from the one guy on the planet still using Opera.

I dare you to say that to his face.

 

[GK86]

Finally got my butt to level 10. I better see some damn boosters.

 

[toddhunter]

Speaking of TD...

How do we feel about Fortix 2, the lowest priced game on Steam?

a) It has cards
b) You can maybe get it cheaper from http://store.indiegala.com/index.php/fortix-2.html (especially if you have gala points which you do
c) It is actually a really fun little game. I think it is worth picking up for the cards and then sinking a couple of hours into it.
d) It isn't TD

 

[Tellaerin]

I'm worried that it might start undercutting sales of Bad Rats at that price. : (

 

[Rickenslacker]

Haha, that's really meta. You've sold me well, and it sounds like something I'd pay for. It's free, right?

Well look normally it's like a hundred bucks (or 200 copies of Bad Rats, whichever your preferred currency) or something and you know with something aping Deus Ex that's a value. But between you and me Rionaam, 'cause I like you so much? It's yours for a measly download of 850MB.

 

[Romir]

I used to leave it in detailed view with all the extraneous info but I'm totally a list view convert now, it has the best of all worlds. It also has the god-tier "size on disk" feature:

That's pretty cool.

Damn you Max Payne 3, Hitman: Absolution, Rage, and Napoleon: Total War. 100+gb right there.

 

[DukeBobby]

This is how I roll.

 

[Salsa]

grief's icons are still too far apart and round

this is the way to go:

 

[GK86]

This is how I roll.

Badrats better be under god tier.

 

[Thorgal]

Grid view is just too sexy

I agree

 

[Hesemonni]

Grid view is just too sexy

...Halo 2?

 

[xelios]

grief's icons are still too far apart and round

this is the way to go:

Too cluttered for me, I prefer at least a little separation like in Grief's.

 

[YianGaruga]

Grid view is cool when you want to look at pretty pictures and post screenshots of your pretty library.

For practical purposes, it's absolutely useless.

 

[Salsa]

they can be closer together too (eliminates that thin line distinction between them), but I prefer em this way. I like the clutteredness while scrolling

I disagree, just have the steam window selected, start typing name of game -> appears instantly

 

[HoosTrax]

I wouldn't even be able to fit the games starting with "A" on one screen if I used grid view.

 

[eyeless]

the way of true masters:

 

[Romir]

This is how I roll.

Fixed it for ya.

 

[louiedog]

I totally forgot that exists. Since I do most non-game playing Steam things in the browser anyway (thanks based jshackles), I might start using this.

That's what I do. All I do with the client is launch games and chat, but I don't need the full view for the latter. Thanks in large part to Enhanced Steam I much prefer to use the store and other Steam features in Chrome. Small mode has the added bonus of being faster and using fewer resources.

 

[RionaaM]

Well look normally it's like a hundred bucks (or 200 copies of Bad Rats, whichever your preferred currency) or something and you know with something aping Deus Ex that's a value. But between you and me Rionaam, 'cause I like you so much? It's yours for a measly download of 850MB.

Thanks a lot! I was just gonna hit The Pirate Bay and download a pirated copy of it

Spoiler

kids, please don't pirate. It's really bad for the good (or maybe bad, I don't know) people who make the games you love so much. Besides, 90% of the fun of games is buying them on Steam sales; the other 10% is idling it for cards.

 

[The Super Bob]

I have £2.00 left in my Steam Wallet from trading. So I need your help in deciding what to buy with it. Here are the games which within that budget that I don't already own. Which should I get?

Fortix
Guns of Icarus
BUTTON
Space Empires IV Deluxe
Critical Mass
Magnetis
Fortix 2
Still Life
Dead Pixels

Critical Mass seems like the best bet from reviews and stuff but I just wanted to know if anyone has played any of these games.

 

[DukeBobby]

Fixed it for ya.

 

[Salsa]

eyeless even goes with no distinction lines this is getting CRAZY

 

[YianGaruga]

Maybe the next step is using negative spacing between the images. Go all the way.

 

[Grief.exe]

Fixed it for ya.

This is the only acceptable way to organize your library

 

[Salsa]

at least none of those "icons without logos" weirdos showed up yet

 

[RibbedHero]

Plox tell me how to get my grid view to have the same gap sizees that grief has.

 

[Leon Belmont]

I don't know if this was posted but I'll post it

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow PC fans, rejoice! The demo for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow for the PC will be available on Steam starting tomorrow! 'Like' this if you'll be downloading it!

 

[Syphon Filter]

I don't know if this was posted but I'll post it

nice.

 

[Neki]

man Mercernary Kings is super buggy, every couple of minutes it flashes a loading screen and eventually it crashes half way through a mission, bleh. It wouldn't be a problem if the missions weren't so long.
