What does it mean 1.22 (that's what appears on the spreadsheet)

If I could get some valor on dollars or keys I could understand better (those are from the left 4 dead 2 promo)

It's in reference to refined metal etc.

So 1 refined = 1 refined
1 scrap metal = .11 refined
1 reclaimed = .33 refined

well don't know what to do, the frying pan appears with bot a 0.22 unique and a strange 5-6 keys

I know that jeys has some valor, but again, don't know what to do

1.22 keys, I think.

No, its metal, which you can trade for keys if you have enough. I haven't traded in 6 months or so and I don't remember exactly how it breaks down.

The whole number refers to refined, and the decimal points refer to reclaimed. 3 reclaimed makes a refined, so 1.33 means 1 refined and 1 reclaimed (or 1 refined and 3 scrap).

Remove friend and block him, or ask for 1.66 (1 refined + 2 reclaimed).

If, at any point, you think he doesn't have the correct amount in the trade window, back out and ask me.

well, since I don't play tf2 the ref doesn't matter to me, but didn't want to gave the items because I don't know, I just don't wanted

Did steam reset the games where you can obtain cards? I was just browsing my badges and it showed me games where I can still get 4 cards despite already having collected cards in that game.

Still considering if I should buy the first Witcher. Already have it on GOG and I'm a pretty big fan, but the main reason to buy it would be completion and ease of access on one platform.

I also have to do a bank transfer every time I want to buy something on Steam :p I'm gonna be happy when I finally get a credit card >_<
 
Dota 2 hit 500k concurrent

Were they f2p games? Drops usually reset if you spend money in them

Ok so drops can be reset.
I played RE6 and got all the drops made a badge and drops were available again. No clue why either. Personally I think drops should be available for every badge even if its less every time

Man, I wish I had the same bug(?), none of my games are showing drops...

Don't do it. Invisible War was an average game when it was released. By today's standards it's a really bad game since it was one of those game that relied on tech for much of it's success back in the day. Forget that game was ever released and skip right into Human Revolution.
I can't do that. I like playing franchises in release order, unless I'm totally not having fun or disliking the game a lot. And even then, I don't feel conpletely fine with skipping the game.

I'll give this a chance, with the full knowledge that it may suck.

Man, Steam sure wants people to purchase Fairie Solitaire. Whilst crafting badges I got a 66%, 75% and 90% of coupon for this game...

Can't say these deals are wowing me, though I suppose &#8364; 0,40 for Fairie Solitaire isn't bad if you're into that kind of game.

If anyone wants to buy one of these games and needs a coupon, hit me up on steam (Steam name is in my profile). I highly doubt I'll be using them.

Invisible War is one of those rare games like DMC2 where everyone agrees it was pretty bad.

Similar to DMC they made the next game (Deus Ex Human Revolution) a prequel so storywise you're fine skipping IW as well.

I guess I understand giving it a try purely out of curiosity, but if you play IW and you're not feeling it you might as well skip it.

Dunno, I sort of liked it when I played it at release.
I mean, yes, it suffered from design choices and the first ugly rearing of lolconsoles memory and polygon budgets, but it's not a bad game. It's an indifferent game, but there's a big difference between an 'eh' game and a 'holy fuck what the shit is this burn it with fire' game in my book.

Agreed. DX: IW wasn't a bad game. It just wasn't a very good Deus Ex game. And when your game's supposed to be a sequel to one of the greatest games of all time, it's going to be judged that much more harshly.

Damn looking at how good people are saying SR4 is, i really wish i had upped my deep silver bundle to SR3 full package. I want to revisit the series (Haven't touched anything since SR2). Hmm, guess ill just play the SR3 base game.

You're not missing much in the SR3 DLC.
The base game is great tho.

SR3 DLC is NOT worth it.

Unless you're a completionist don't bother
 
I keep getting an issue where my download speed drops to 0kb/s after a few seconds of downloading.

I've tried deleting recommended files and folders in the Steam dir. Ive changed download regions multiple times but still it persists.

Ive googled the problem and nothing seems to work. Has anyone had this issue?

Are you using wireless internet? Does it start back up again automatically?

Yes. My internet doesn't drop though. It starts again after a random interval of time. Almost like its a P2P transfer.

This happens ALL the time with DOTA2 updates. But some games I can download without problem. Im trying this with PayDay2.

Ok just tried installing Psychonauts. Im downloading at full speed without the drops. What the hell? I switch back to downloading PayDay and I get the drops.
 
I finally got around to playing through Botanicula, and jeez that game is wonderful. Amanita is so good at making happy things. Don't know why I waited so long to play it, but I'm super glad I did. It's not terribly long, so if anyone just picked it up in the Humble Bundle, or if you've just been waiting to play it, I highly recommend you do.

Now to wait for Samorost 3...

Anyone knowledgeable in terms of headsets?

I'm debating on getting Steelseries Siberia v2. They're fairly cheap and I've heard they're really good, at least for their price range. Either that or waiting a little longer and getting some Sennheiser PC363Ds

I have some Tritton's I used to use for Xbox, so at least I have something if I decide to wait but they're not really that good..

Dark Souls update!

So I'm now in the Demon Ruins and everything's fine (I like how posted about progress in DS sounds like a journal from a torturous journey) but I just wanted to share what happened against
Seath

So as I entered the Boss room, since there is no fog I was super surprised to see him arrive out of nowhere, and I wasn't prepared to die at all. I had a good amount of souls and only a few flasks left... And since I'd seen all the stone bodies I was assuming that the white mist was the thing that caused curses and I was meant to stick to the small path in the middle.

Anyway, Seath appeared, and I freaked out, and I basically went berserk on him - staying super close while trying to stay out of that white mist. Apparently most of his attacks can't hit you if you're too close, or maybe I was just lucky, because I destroyed him. He hit me once.

The thing is, when I talked about it with a friend later on he told me about cutting off the tail which I obviously didn't do but that's no big deal, and also about how you're supposed to break the crystal to be able to defeat him, which... I didn't do either? So, what happened - is my damage output abnormally high? Or is this a thing that happens, people killing Seath without bothering with the crystal? Maybe he broke it himself. I dunno. For reference, I'm SL83 and in the Demon Ruins I am now two-shotting the Capra Demons (which makes me realize how puny I was when I met the first one.) And the Ceaseless Discharge was no problem either. Is it weird? I'm not a particularly good player either...

I don't know if me sharing my progress in the game is something that's okay in this thread? It's light discussion and I enjoy talking about it but it's not strictly Steam-related and it isn't any kind of PSA either so I would get it if it annoyed people.
