Pah. How did Oniken not get greenlit?! Shameful.
So this Indie Gala thing, is this one of the bundles that'll add Steam keys if games are later out on Steam? I might as well grab Oniken now, but I'm kind of curious on if I'll have to double dip if it is eventually greenlit?

Salsairse Ronald. I like how it sounds.
I like her Chinese sister, Xierxhe Ryo Nyan better.
thanks guys!
should I use Steam Mover too?
Gamesave Manager basically just detects my saves/games and tries to back them up somewhere right?
anyone remember what's the app that removes the excess dx/net framework stuff that Steam installs with every game?

Not sure if I should try to get an invite. I can't wait to play P2 but it's only a few weeks and I don't my initial impressions disturbed by strange bugs.
It's the case far more often than not.
There's no need. Steam Mover/Tool are catered towards those wanting games spread across multiple drives.
Steam Cleaner. Keep in mind that Steam will re-download prereqs when you verify a game's cache as they're considered part of the package.

I have a sort of off topic question about Steam, what is the easiest way to use Big Picture mode?
I'm at my PC, and want to play on my couch. Right now, I have to turn my TV so that I can see it from my PC, then go to my graphics settings on PC, and switch my primary monitor to my TV. Then from my computer desk I am navigating windows on my TV which is awkward, until I can launch big picture, then I can finally go sit down & play. Often, I just don't bother.
Is there a better way I can be doing this?

Guess what? Beaten again
Windows Key-P will allow you to switch displays quickly and easily.
Edit: And holding down the X360's guide button for a few seconds will load up BPM.

Wireless mouse/keyboard/controller would stop you having to turn your TV around.

Give it a year.
I never played a Galactic Civilizations game and now I have both. Should I just try the second and forget I even own the first? I like strategy games if they're not too crazy and brainy. "Civ5 > Civ4" sort of guy.
I think with the summer sale behing less and less people will be interested in crafting a badge and people will just continue to undercut till 0.03 cents. There are just too many on the wild.
I'm sitting on 11 summer cards as well, if prices will continue going down in a few weeks I'll just craft the badge and be done with them.

I googled "Spanish by an Argentine writer. It concerns a series of crime typewriter" and there it was. Feels almost like cheating after your efforts to write down hints and clues. But I never heard of the story or it's writer so at least I learned something and will look into him a bit more.

I recommend it strongly

Yep 2nd is all you need.
I'm the same.I think I'm going to take a wait and see approach. If the prices do continue to drop I may pick up a couple to get the badge to level 5 but we will see
That's my plan. Give or take a few months.
What the hell are you talking about, they're actually going up. The lowest price averaged at 15-17 cents on the weekend and they're now at 20 cents. The only way you could say that price are going down is if you have no clue on how to read the median sale prices graph which shows the entire lifetime of card prices which was obviously high when they were first released.

I already have something in mind but I'll wait a few hours.
Nice, thx.
Has anybody got their GMG key yet?
Just wanted to say I remember buying a mystery card for 2.30 as soon they came out. I didn't realize they dropped everytime a badge was crafter and for some reason was under the impression they were very, very rare. Shaking my head to this day when I think about that, tsk.
Thanks, I'll launch it right away and see what the fuss is all about.

Grief would call me psychotic, but I bought this sight unseen.
It is yours!
Awesome, thanks so much.
Bought for Sacraboar and the Trainz DLC. The bundle also includes the following Greenlight games:
- Doom & Destiny
- Oniken

I'm going to wait for the unlocks in the Indie Gala to decide if I'm going to get it. I already have half the games in that bundle. Though, my eXceed games aren't Steam versions.

Voted for Doom & Destiny, looks like a funny game.

This is why the Summer Sale of 2011 was so nice. You got the ticket badge for participating, fun little rewards for actually playing games for real achievements, and the promo showed your progress alongside your friends, so you were competing against each other in the larger Steam meta-game and having fun.
Valve should add real incentives, beyond cosmetic, for those that craft badges. Like bringing back Steam Chess, or creating something like Steam GO/Solitaire/Mahjong/Bridge/Checkers/Dominoes/Poker/Mahjong solitaire/Pachisi/Shogi etc, and tie access to achieving certain levels in Steam.
So I was testing out sending a gift to myself so I could send it out via ModBot and may have accidentally sent it to myself by going to the url while signed into my account. Now I seem to have a gift perpetually pending according to my notifications despite Steam telling me I have no gifts waiting to be redeemed. If someone else gets the same url, can they redeem that gift?
This, this so much (the 4-player, Japanese rules version).
