I liked the free weekend of sonic racing and ended up picking up the game. Anyone interested in setting up some GAF games?

I am. I have yet to really play this game online. Tried yesterday but took ages to find a game, after which I eventually ended up in a 2 man race...

That isn't something you should admit publicly.

It's shameful beyond shameful.
Because if Gaben finds out he'll revoke your Steam account, unworthy being.
Because, seriously, play that shit. It's HL2 at its best.
I've only finished it on Xbox 360. Don't tell anyone
Well dont play it now until HL3 is announced (if ever). It would just make the wait worse.

I've recently-ish finished Dishonored and BioShock Infinite. I've kept them installed for DLC in the future.
Currently playing FTL, Max Payne 3 (very close to finishing), and Hotline Miami.
I have games started in Legend of Grimlock, Skyrim, STALKER, Spec Ops and The Witcher though I'm not actively playing them at the moment. My kids like to play Don't Starve and FTL and Morrowind is there for my wife (it's her favorite game).
After I finish Max Payne 3 I think I should move on to Spec Ops and The Witcher.

Putting game quality aside, why is a game like Duke Nukem ridiculed and made fun throughout its insanely long development period but Half Life 3 isn't?
Granted I never played the Half Life games but after nothing but rumors and speculation for years, can hype and expectations could ever be meet?
Because Valve hasn't been solely working on HL3 for the past 6 years.

It isn't? Missed the "Valve can't count to 3 meme"?

Because HL3 was never announced and DNF was

I have the feeling they haven't been working on it at all...
The Summer Sale will deliver me Episode 2 so I can finally play it.
Um, people do ridicule for the development time.
And besides, what are they even working on now?

Because they've never promised anything about HL3. George Broussard spent more than a decade talking about how awesome DNF would be, showing us what little snippets they actually had in a presentable state. DNF didn't live up to the explicit promise made by 3D Realms.
Hype and expectations for HL3 will be adjusted to reflect Valve's explicit promises once they announce it. I think to a certain extent the long silence will affect it. Even if the game gave everyone oral sex and heroin injections while curing world hunger, you'll still have people say "meh, didn't live up to the hype." But that's their own hype, not Valve.
Me, I just want another single player Valve game. Don't care about no hype.
don't say that :/
Big thanks to KarmaCow for his generosity <3
And because we know HL3 will be godlike where as DNF ... well, wasn't.
It gets easier once you understand the mechanics better, the first time though I died tons of times as well, but eventually you master the controls and know the level layouts.
What if Half-Life 3 Never gets announced?
What if It never gets made?
What if we have to live with the cliffhanger of Episode 2 forever?
That's what all these Steam Trading cards are isn't it. Just a smoke screen to take focus away from the fact that Half-Life 3 never has and never will exist, I'm on to you Gabe.

Blood will fill the streets.
What if the cards are funding Half-Life 3? Steams very own Kickstarter.

oh god where's that joke cartoon of him announcing R2 at E3
Ricochet 2 will end up being more popular than Dota 2

Yes, I'm okay with it. I don't really look at that screen too often. I use desktop icons for my installed games to launch them.
A bunch of people are working on Dota 2, weird hardware ventures, Steam trading cards, Greenlight, movie partnerships.
The company isn't that big, and I am sure there a shit load of projects we don't know about.

Dawg and 3chopl0x were interested in one a few pages back. Don't know if they went trough with it in the meantime though.
I use detail when I want to see achivements or something, but stick to list most of the time. I never touch grid view.

Holy crap, are you people really okay with the large borders between images in the default grid view?
First thing I edited, personally couldn't stand all the wasted screen space.
And how did you achieve that?

If you live near a Half Price Books (U.S. only, mainly midwest), you may be able to pick up Steam redeemable retail copies of games for cheap. HPB is having a 50% off sale (coupon acquired through signing up for newsletter on their site). I was able to get Mafia II for $3 + tax. There were a few other Steamworks games too (Duke Nukem Forever, Kane & Lynch 2, Jagged Alliance Back in Action). Tomorrow is a 40% off sale. I may swing back by to pickup Jagged Alliance. I think card prices should just about make it free in the end.
With HPB, there is no guarantee of what will be in inventory. Most of their PC games are unsold inventory from distributors, so is a bit more consistent between stores. All the games I listed I've seen at multiple locations, most having a half dozen copies of each.

Yea, I have scored some good deals at 1/2 price books on PC games over the years, who cares if they are steam games really as well. I found original copies of games like Arcanum and Alice 1 there as well. Be careful if it's a modern Steam game that it is sealed and the key is unused...
