Hitman skin. Seriously.
Year of the Snake is the best one IMO.

Nightmare in North Point and Year of the Snake are the best ones.
Zodiac Tournament is decent and on sale, so I'd go for that, too.
Edit- beaten like a Sun On Yee thug.

Listen to the man. Do it.
Gonna install Bassmidi later and see how much of a difference it makes for sending my old school feels all aflutter.
Looks like you need some Pork bun fellow GAFfer.

The great majority of the shareware games I played were from both Apogee and Epic. Either way, go for it, I also don't have the time, patience and know-how to make an awesome looking thread like most of the folks here. But I'll definitely subscribe it!
Totally forgot about it! Thanks!
Man, who else misses those old DOS catalogs?? I remember learning english when trying to read those for hours!

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Yes this tallies each of the five currencies Steam supports, converts them to your local currency, then totals it. Should (hopefully) do exactly what you're looking for.
The only thing is - it takes the current exchange rates, not the exchange rates as they were when you sold whatever. So it won't be 100% accurate, but it'll be really close. Until one of the currencies tanks.

And WTF is wrong with steam today? I wanted to buy Keen, but it is priced at 86,84€. This is not the price mistake I'm after.

Cool, that'll be close enough.

What?
What Euro Tier are you in?
It's still 1.24 here, I just checked...
The 86,84 looks like the Quakecon complete pack price.

It's not like that on the store page though. The search accidently lists the whole QuakeCon bundle price.

Huh. Try clicking through on the Keen in the pack itself (which has no price here in Tier 1, but if you click through, you get the 1.24 offer)
Yeah man, go ahead! 6 years is a long time, so a new one would be fine I think.
Can't wait to see it. Nostalgia overload right into my veins.
Thanks a lot for this!

I wouldn't do freelook in Doom because it's made to work well without it, but in Heretic/Hexen there is a lot of vertical play and flying creatures so it's nice. I am 100% against filtering crisp pixel textures/sprites into smeared garbage, but other enhancements are pretty cool.Don't you dare track all this next gen mud all over my pretty rosy memories!

Coming soon to Enhanced Steam:
Nice, pretty awesome feature, can't wait for it. Thanks Jshackles.
Ever since trading cards came outta beta I've been wondering how much "profit" I made from using the market to trade instead of actually trading 1:1 for cards. Kinda regret getting level 5 for the Steam summer and Dungeons of Dredmor badges instead of using that money for games but eh, as long as I don't use my own money to buy cards its alright.

Decided I'd spend the day playing Quake; played most of it with Carmack talking in the background to replace the soundtrack. While back in the day GLQuake blew my mind, these days I prefer the software rendering look, as well as 640x480 resolution. Gibbing zombies with lobbed nades never gets old, but whoever designed the slimes in act 4 can go step on a lego; just a horrible, terrible enemy to fight.
The whole thing clocked at 3.9 hours, so it was around the perfect length to get all the card drops.

I finally got every collectible in Saint's Row The Third. And a few secons later I get the 30 hour achievement, fuck yeah.

I told myself I was only going to load up HeXen 2 for a quick test of the resolution and mouselook autoexec.
5 hours played.
Oh, little Suzie Combo-Breaker? The Recettear - The Manliest Game In Existence thread is full of rage-reactions to some of your customers.

The games are a lot shorter than I remember, but with the added controls complexity of freelook and jumping, the map designs have less backtracking compared to Doom while still maintaining the fpsleveldesign.jpg meme. People thinking these games were maze-like need to play Quake, the levels do a great job of guiding you while still being more than a vessel for enemy encounters.
My god man, I had the dry heaves upon entering that page. I pretty much hate all of the visual "upgrade" mods and sourceports for Quake, they just come off slapped together with no discretion and look awful.

Still shitty deals on Skyrim DLC, serves me right for buying a game on launch...
Is the Saints Row III DLC worth it? Was thinking about picking it up and finally going through the game since it's on Humble Bundle now (got the main game on the THQ bundle).

That Quakecon bundle is ridiculous. If I had a steady job I would had bought that shit right away.
And holy shit next Thursday will be insane. I'm very looking forward to Papers Please, but I'm not sure the concept and mechanics of the beta can hold up for an entire game. I'm excited, but also cautious, so I'll be waiting for some reviews and word of mouth first.
Well, finally finished my no-kill (and only) run of Dishonored. That was fun! The ending was a bit abrupt, but I guess it was a pretty decent ending and the game itself was very, very good. I might give it another shot some other day. I'd never done any sort of special run for any game (as in, no killing any enemies or something like that), so I feel kinda proud about this one
That makes 7 games I've beaten since the end of the Steam sale. This weekend I'll go to the beach and next week I'll resume Tomb Raider. Playing games is actually fun! Who knew.

Pretty damn good, although there have been some outstanding publisher packs at insane prices. This one is definitely a must for guys who just got a gaming PC together and want to cover a lot of FPS ground in their library.
) I used to play Quake with my Rendition Verite (I haven't played Quake since then) and thought the mod looks great.Is there a widescreen option if you play Quake without the mods?

It's not the greatest DLC ever but it's fun enough. Can't go wrong for $5
You get three mission DLC and a bunch of cosmetic stuff too.

Can I buy Steam Market items with my debit card or do they have to be steam wallet funds?
The latter.

These mods look like the Final Fantasy iOS releases in cheap aesthetics to me. The textures actually come off looking like pictures being pasted onto the environment rather than convincingly being part of the cohesive whole and shaders are just everywhere for no reason. The art used also happens to look very very ugly, most things have a grit to them to look sharper and more detailed but just ... yeuch. But I'm more of a purist when it comes to these things, so I know a lot of people clearly love this stuff.
Is there a widescreen option if you play Quake without the mods?
I don't know about widescreen support on the unmodded version of the game, but I was content with 4:3 at 640x480; the assets of the game actually look best to me at that resolution. Going higher and the cleaner polygonal edges clashed with the chunky unfiltered texturing, and since the HUD doesn't scale I'd imagine going to 1080p would make it microscopic.
Added you guys.

Nightmare and Year are separate campaigns in the menu. The kung fu one is in the main campaign.

Anyone interested in a 4 pack for Skullgirls? PM me I already bought it.
Wow, I'm selling pretty much every card I put in the market in a matter of minutes. Those 10 or so cents are slowly adding up. Not enough to cover the cost of the id games I want to buy, but it's still nice.
Let's hope the same is true for Mark of the Ninja, which I started idling right now.
