Is the LA Noire DLC worth the 2.50 extra?

It gives you some extra cases which are pretty good I thought. I'd say yes.
Possibly. I'm at the confirmation page at the moment and the fee on a gift of USD$20 is 10 cents. (Don't get excited, Salsa; I didn't hit send.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
JaseC is clearly lying. What a terrible fake name for a country.

How can you tell if you have the DLC for a game? Specifically LA Noire. I thought you could right click it and check.

It adds 5 cases plus some extra clothing that makes you better with certain weapons, but besides the setting of the last one they're not too different from the rest. In another one you meet again your old partners, which is kind of cool if you liked them, but those are the only different things from the rest.
The worst thing about it, however, is that now they are added to the normal story flow and can't be skipped, so if you're not liking the game too much those five extra cases may make you want to stop playing altogether.
Have you already played the base game? If that's the case, buy the DLC if you liked what you saw so far, because it's pretty much on par with the rest of the game.

You can right-click the game, hit "Properties", and click the DLC tab, but given how haphazardly some developers name DLC at the backend, I find it's better to log into the Steam website and visit the DLC product pages themselves.

I would say so. It includes The Naked City, which might be the best case in the game.
The three guns in the game are pretty cool but hopefully getting it greenlit gives them a bit of a kick in the pants to put some more content into it, even if it is 5 dollars.

I keep wondering how much Steam games are in Sweden for row key selling to be lucrative in anyway, not that I care, guys are helping out for sure.

Ah okay thats what I figured. Thank you.
edit: I do own the DLC, just that the steam client says I don't and the website says I do. What a pain.

I am still pondering whether to pay $30 for the Leviathan TF2 hat. Is Skullgirls a good preorder bonus?
heya I can help you. I think I only get taxes when I send money to someone, not the other way around

Salsa will be pleased -- Kingdom Rush got greenlit:
oh dang it, need to make some calls

Are you going to buy KRZ? I realised I needed to recommend a game for the Pillar of the Community badge, so I wrote a brief review.
what is that?
anyway asked for a specific release date on Kingdom Rush and got this:
so yea

I really like the Enhanced Steam addon for Firefox/Chrome, it highlights which DLC you own automatically.
I'll probably PM you after I get back from school. Thanks for the offer!
While it's certainly handy for browsing the specials section and the like (I no longer need to open and close dozens of tabs), it's not exactly perfect: I've encountered a few things that aren't shaded as owned despite the fact I do own the content and the Firefox version in particular can take a little while to kick in, plus filtering search results breaks it (though this can be remedied by simply refreshing the page).
Surgeon Simulator. I mean, really? Sometimes I think all it takes to get greenlighted is popularity (well duh!), even better if it's "bad" popularity given by memes and ridiculous videos, and that is really upsetting for me.
I'm Italian so right now I'm in a "democracy sucks" kind of moon, deal with me please
Aye this was my first thought as well. I don't doubt the game is fun but it just really stands out as a "flavour of the day" kind of game that only got greenlit for that reason.
Sure, it's not perfect, but it's certainly better than what Steam provides. I too have noticed games that aren't shaded, usually things that I bought in packs or bundles, but overall, it's a much nicer experience.
What discount? It's not another latino bro 2K thing, innit?
no just the 10 percent one
the Brutal Legend port is a bit iffy yeah. Some sounds are heavily compressed and a couple didnt play at all
the framerate is also weird. It stays at 60 but the game still stutters, randomly dropping to 59 (wich apparently is enough for the game to stutter quite a bit). Animations also seem to randomly play at 30fps and then suddenly at 60fps
im sure they'll patch up some of that stuff eventually.

Can anyone recommend Fallen Enchantress? It got a good review in the last PC Gamer, but I don't entirely trust their reviews these days.

You mean capped at 30 fps? Yes. However it's still far and away the best version of the game.
Sucks. 20 something bucks is too much to ask for any game these days.
I have no idea about whether sound quality was reduced from console to PC, but for the other stuff, I think it's because Double Fine has been converting the engine to 60FPS. To describe better than I can:
So, it sounds like they are paying attention to it, which is cool.
People complain about the Steam Support Ticket issues.
I still can't buy anything from Origin since my EA/Xbox Live account was hacked for Fifa points back in July 2012.
I opened another ticket on February 5th and... and they STILL haven't done shit about it!
And all I want to do is give them money for some Simcity, for gods sake.

Finally got down to playing and finishing Bioshock 2 in time for Bioshock Infinite. What a great game that was.
Anyway, having a problem deciding where to get Infinite from. I have both games from the Steam Deal, and I have most of them from the GMG deal (don't want The Darkness, own the rest). Didn't the GMG deal include a cash-back or something?
EDIT: Not getting the cash-back on GMG. Guess I'll go with Steam if at least reward 2 is unlocked (Those TF2 items better sell for a good price on the market)

I highly recommend playing the Minerva's Den DLC even though it means you have to buy it through the xbox website. It's got a strong emotional driving force to the narrative similar to 2 (and unlike 1) that's really great and comes together really nicely.
I boggles my mind that people skip over Bioshock 2 or even hate on it at times.

Yeah I'm thinking about it. The game was freaking awesome for me! I seriously got goosebumps at the ending of 2. I will miss Rapture
