Truth.
Also, IMO it was pretty obvious immediately those registry leaks were legit.
I've never done this, but I can't imagine it's going to change anything. Windows will still have to do it's thang before it can allow Steam to take over and go into BPM. It just means you don't have to press any buttons to get there.
If you don't want to deal with that hassle, you could just put your computer to sleep. Power down on my system uses like 2 watts compared to 3 watts for sleep. So it's not like there's any real energy saving by powering down.

I followed a similar setup to get XBMC to replace explorer.exe in Windows 8 and it works fine (Although it was slightly different there: http://cybernetnews.com/xbmc-run-boot-xbmc-startup-windows-8/ but I don't know if that applies to earlier Windows versions), if you ever need to get back to the Windows interface you can bring up task manager and just run Explorer.exe (or even have it as a Steam shortcut) and you're away.

It's no Garou tho.

I am under the impression that if it sells well SNK might actually wise up and release Garou on Steam.
Keep that wallet full, you'll need it during summer sale.
The Metro steam skin has become my favourite just by default, knowing it's regularly updated, compared to other skins that I actually prefer more
Better than pixelvision?

So you can use it with Windows 7 too? Its better than Pixelvision?
Pixelvision just comes across as too dark for me. Tried it multiple times, but in my opinion it just doesn't read well. And yes, you can use the Metro Skin with Windows 7 of course
I prefer Minimal UI, or Apparition, but those aren't regularly updated
Remember when you could trade it for Skyrim and people getting banned for selling them for 100s!
He doesn't want it on Origin.
Origin.

Tried it and I still think Pixelvision is better. But it's not bad at all, I just like the other style more!

That's what I like most about PixelVision -- its creator keeps on top of development, and even when he's AWOL there are plenty of PV users over at SPUF that are quick to provide interim fixes when a client update breaks the layout.
I never realized how sad Team Fortress 2 items and trading has gotten. Someone added me as a friend with a completely fabricated profile with the intention of getting Mac Ear Buds from me. The person seemed nice and I never even play Team Fortress 2 so I didn't care in the least. I traded the items for nothing. Now I come to realize that they are worth actual money to some sad people. I don't know if I should be angry at the scammer or angry at the people who would actually pay real money for the item.

Sounds like you should be angry at yourself if anyone.

Yeah i've had that happen. Dude added me with his profile changed to make it look like he was from my area (even though the info on my profile is 9-10 years outdated) and tried to make it sound like he was a friend of mine from school. When I inquired about his name he gave me a name of a person I never was friends with in elementary/middle/high school, but I kept stringing him along. He responded to everything I was saying like "Yeah yeah, it was great times man!" and the like. Maybe 10 minutes into this he dropped the question of if I played TF2 at all, and then asked me about my earbuds and if I used them. I kinda ignored the question and kept on rambling. Probably half an hour into it he asked me again about the earbuds, so I told him to fuck himself for trying to pretend he knew me when I made up virtually everything I had said and then blocked him.
TF2 scammers are real cocksuckers sometimes.
Putting aside you giving away a valuable item, as a rule of thumb you should ignore friend requests from those with whom you have no friends and/or groups in common (the primary exception being if person in question is an IRL friend).
I'm not really that mad at losing the item because I don't even play the game. Hell I didn't even realize it was actually worth something to people until I watched the Gabe DICE thing and he actually mentioned OSX ear buds...I just started laughing and realized that I had given them away to some complete stranger. I checked my friendlist and yup person was no longer a friend lol.

It's gonna be funny when you buy Kingdoms Amalur for $80, and then the next day Steam's like "Daily Deal - 80% off!". *gabetrollface.jpg* *rhodeislandtrollface.jpg*
Fixed. I was playing this morning and someone kept trying to trade me for my Earbuds. I told him I was not trading them away so he incessantly kept spamming me with trades. I ignored him and he then initiated a vote saying I was "idle." Of course people pay absolutely no attention to what's going on and so, despite being the top contributor to our team, I was kicked. Was having a lot of fun on that server, too... -_-
Nice.
Someone watch it and post a synopsis please -- I hate wasting my time with video reviews.
I don't play MP, so I'd be more interested in how the SP is.
Don't get between spergy weirdos and their digital wardrobes.
I was literally about to purchase this and something told me to check GAF for opinions on it.
I noticed CS:GO is $7.50, is it worth it? I used to play competitively in CS 1.5/1.6 and CSS back in the day and mixed things about CS:GO, is it worth $7.50? Is this the lowest it's been?
Kinda the reasoning behind DOTA 2 being on the top sellers list during the Christmas sale because it had hats! (well costumes but you know what I meant).
They should have to revise the Steam listing to address this.
Yes, and yes. I've been having a lot of fun with GO as of the most recent update (first time I'd played it in a while, since my 'net connection isn't the best for online play).

Are you sure? I just checked both the official web site and the game client, and they say that the PC/PS3 servers are still UP as of today.
EDIT: Just played it, servers are still up, there just aren't as many people playing it as there used to.
I think CS:GO is a fantastic Counter-Strike game, and Valve are putting loads of effort into updating and improving it like they did with TF2 in the early days before they caught the hat bug. I personally did not at all enjoy playing Source, so CS:GO is quite refreshing. It feels like the first professionally made CS game, the matchmaking options in particular are excellent. That said, I personally am not at all fluent in the deep gun mechanics and all the nuances of the past games because I haven't even touched 1.6 and was turned off playing Source almost immediately.

Well that's convenient timing. I just bought a racing wheel and I'm looking for racing games to play with it.
Hmmmm... maybe I should look into it a bit more.
Better than Source? Sold.
A lot of FTL talk on there and it's also making me interested.. Worth $10? Or wait for sale?
