all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So what are all of the management games in Steam that are worth playing? It includes simulation and stuff.
I guess I've just become the ultimate graphic whore then. I know it's cool to hate on stereo 3D, but if you don't wear glasses, have properly functioning eyes (to prevent physical issues), and are playing on PC where resolution and framerate (must) aren't crippled, it just makes mono 3D look like shit. Deadlight was especially terrible for me. I felt like I was playing with static screens and a clunkily animated character.
Even after I quit Deadlight, I loaded up From Dust (since I was already playing 2D on my HDTV). For a 2D game it looks very good, but still, mono 3D feels a bit like playing FMV based games from the 90s. Such a disconnect when games are broken and you have to go back to it.

I've been waiting on it forever as well.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Too bad you don't have some of the fantastical powers featured in TimeShift!
That is actually a decent single player game, even though it has nothing to do with Timegate Studios. It was made by Saber Interactive, iirc.
Just imagine if he could, for example, shift time. He wouldn't have to wait as long, now would he!

If I could turn back time, I'd take back all those words that hurt you.
Pretty much the reason why it is decent.
It was, but reading TimeGate Studios reignited a dormant synapse and I eventually remembered that TimeShift is something I've been meaning to buy. The game wasn't even in my "Steam stuff I need to buy" text file that I've been maintaining since before last year's Summer Sale.
That text file must be very light amirite
I could, but to do that now would mean visiting the pages of dozens upon dozens of games/DLC and adding them to my wishlist. It's far easier to just throw a name in a text file.
Edit: I misread your post, haha. Enhanced Steam (Chrome/Firefox add-on) essentially does just that since it highlights outside of the product pages games you already own, but it's not exactly perfect (some items are erroneously flagged as unowned, such as SFxT's 12 Characters DLC, and further filtering search results breaks it).

I'm writing an email to steam support aswe speak to have both games removed from my account and my HDD remotely wiped.

I like how everyone is implicitly assuming that the linux hat is going to have as insane a trading value as the earbuds. Dat speculation bubbble/economic hoo hah

I dunno man, apparently you have to consult some astrological charts to get a working Linux install.
Thankfully my birth stars have been aligned every time I've installed Ubuntu and I've never had a problem.
Well I'm banking on people being intimidated by the thought of installing Linux compared to just turning on a Mac to drive up the perceived rarity.

I'd rather buy a 3000$ Macintosh than try to figure out installing Linux. I think it's a safe bet.
I'm looking forward to begrudgingly purchasing it at 25% off in ~5 months. Still, at least it'll be discounted, unlike the Kingdoms of Amalur DLC I purchased at full price (and still haven't played).

It will also probably only be valuable within a couple of weeks of being available, I plan on getting rid of it fast.
I've been really lucky and TF2 launches with zero issues whatsoever for me, on an integrated motherboard graphics chip with the gallium driver.
Unlike most here, I didn't install Mint just for the hat, on the contrary.
The stars just aligned

Well I just assumed that all you have to do is launch it in Linux to get it and it's open forever? Or is it only during the sale or whatever. If it's open forever I mean there's the reason, I guess I'm wrong though
.If you have a proper USB hard drive (I have a 500GB one I borrowed from work) is it possible to do this thing in the "Try it on your USB drive" mode or something? I don't want to touch the main hard drive on my gaming machine, and I have this perfectly good 500GB USB drive which is not currently being used for anything that I borrowed from work, can I not just install it on that and avoid all this shrinking and GRUB removal and whatnot?

Just for the record, I've had more problems installing Windows than I've ever had installing Ubuntu Linux (the Gentoo/Arch installs I tinkered with years ago don't count towards this).
For all Canonical's recent misteps, they've done wonders with the install process. As long as you pay attention, there is seriously no way for you to mess it up.

I've installed Ubuntu fairly recently (on a Linux box at my parents' house at Christmas); I'm fine with it, I just want to check I can install it to a USB spinning-platters hard drive without touching anything else on my gaming PC.
I never played them. Now I just want to gift that man 3 or 4 copies of each.
Midweek Madness #1 is 75% off the Fable franchise.
Daily is 75% off Trine 2 ($3.74/$6.24 for the CE).
Edit: And MwM #2 is 66% off Awesomenauts ($3.39).
Edit edit: The Trine 2 discount has been extended to the Franchise Pack ($4.99).

Why is fable 2 not on pc
Same reason Halo 3 isn't, ask MS...
I never played Trine ok to skip part 1?
Why is fable 2 not on pc
It's a pity Fable 2 didn't show up alongside Halo 3 in the registry. Fable: TLC > Fable 2 > Fable 3, after all.

I'm playing the 2nd now after just finishing the 1st one. 2nd improves over the 1st in every way. I don't think you'll miss much in the story, just wiki it.
They are both pretty great games though.

So there's almost an interesting puzzle/dungeon in Dragonborn but it's kind of defeated by how Bethesda structures/designs quests and dungeons. At one point in the main quest you enter the ruins of a flooded Dwemer city, the goal being to use Dwemer machinery within the city to raise and lower the water. Now that could have been an interesting puzzle/dungeon if not for the fact you're basically following a linear path of quest markers through the city and simply pressing e at various pedestals. There's literally no thought required, it isn't a puzzle, you just walk along a linear path and a press button at interaction points. You cannot fail.

I played Fable 2 after playing 3 and I think I preferred 3. That might be because 2 looks like dogshit on 360 and 3 can actually look quite nice on PC with some proper tweaking.
I'm going even one better, and have scheduled myself for electro-shock therapy to have all my fond memories of playing the game erased.
It's a sad day...
The online in that game just dont work for me, and Romino say to me: ¨we do not know what it is and we dont work that because only a small porcentage of people have that issue¨ fuck that, same thing happend with Swords and Soldiers HD
Actually not, it's the Trine 2 franchise pack. It only has Trine 2 and its DLC, but not the first game. That one isn't discounted right now.
I'm not getting Trine on my region for that pack, only Trine 2 and Gobline Menace. Is it available only in certain countries?
edit: beaten.
Oh god, how bembarrassing.

The game is perfectly playable with kb+m, personally found it much easier to play with that setup compared to controller. So go forward! Do note that this is my preference tho.
