Less than 48 hours at this point.

I bet that my pre-purchase from yesterday boosted the meter by 12% ^^

Thanks! I have found Depressurizer, which looks more user-friendly.

Tested it yesterday. Best application to set categories to the games, ever! Why is this not in OP?
Salsa?

I love everyone on GAF, and I also have just over 5 bucks in my Steam wallet.

First person to PM me with their Steam ID gets a copy of Killing Floor.

Edit: Taken by Sir Jables!

Spoiler

Deques, you technically won but I already bought KF and not the DLC, sorry :L

Now all we need is something to make you actually use all of those newly categorised purchases.

Haha, it's ok As long as I won, it's all that matters

Use? Why would I want to use them? I want to see them nicely categorized

Yeah my Steam OCD usally gets the better of me. Well until things go tits up and all my categories are lost due to some weird Mac problems when I sign in at work.

Probably because it's Doogie Howser MD who was also played by NPH. Which happened to be one of the many nicknames I have but from mainly from way back when growing up but it ties together nicely with my name here 'Dr Dogg' and comes full circles with a few other bits an bobs. Tenuous links I know!

 

[toddhunter]

I had a cat named Doogie once. Kids should never be permitted to name animals.

Oh, I didn't know it was NLP. I haven't watched Doogie Howser MD. I don't think it's been broadcast in Sweden before.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Should I wait for the winter sale or get AC3 for 50% off now?

My sister called our cat Elizabeth Taylor. Saying that I wanted to call her Garfield, not sure how gender neutral that would be?

At least Elizabeth Taylor fits a cat and you could call it ET to your friends.

Good old Neil Latrick Parris.

And Doogie Howser MD was broadcast in Sweden as "Dr Howser" back in 1989-1993. I remember it ... not fondly, but still.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Totally forgot to pick up KoA.

At least there's a good chance it'll appear in future sales now. Probably with a bigger discount as well.

Off-topic, but I was skimming through your post (don't take it personal!) and read the bolded part as "Fleetwood Mac". I immediately thought "Oh great, are we talking about music now?" Only now I realise you were talking about something completely unrelated to the band that made Rumours

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I remember the day my music teacher told me that Formula 1 music was actually 'The Chain' by Fleetwood Mac. I had no idea who this band was, so was excited to go out and buy the album with 'The Chain' on it. I made a huge mistake.

You're kidding, right? How can you say "The chain" and "huge mistake" in the same sentence, unless it's said in the sentence you're reading now?

I'm so glad I found the 3 CD remastered edition so soon after its release, and for a reasonable price.

"Don't stop thinking about tomorrow. Don't stop, it'll soon be here. It'll be better than before. Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone."

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Well, the F1 music is the last part of 'The Chain', with the bass driven riff. So, naturally my assumption was all the music would be like that! Nope, it's folk music. Dammit.

Hahahaha no worries. No I've used a Apple Macintosh Pro at work for nearing 13 years and when Steam was finally released for it there was some odd quirks as to how your custom categories carried over. If you installed a title that was Steamplay but had 2 different versions ie Civ IV or GTA III but moved one copy to one category but left the other i a different one it would overwrite the changes you had just made. First sign you'd notice is when you signed back in on a PC was that everything you had done was lost. Since then I've just used the Favorites category for what I'm working on and let the rest collect digital dust but it has been fixed now for a long time but I still have nightmares.

[Salsa]

is Fleetwood Mac the daily deal?

 

[Darklord]

In what way is God of War better other than that it is short?

Better combat, pacing, and more interesting boss encounters.

 

[NZNova]

If it isn't, maybe it should be.

 

[FloatOn]

I replayed it last week and now im replaying 2 and man, 2 aged much, MUCH better.

being able to have both your hands up alone gave it 10 more years of relevance

being limited to one hand at a time WAS pretty dumb.

I may as well play 2 while the memory of this one is still fresh.

 

[RionaaM]

I wish! I'd totally pick up the Future Games and Bare Trees DLCs.

And it doesn't even need to be 75% off, just 33% would be enough.

 

[kaleii]

Which channel was it broadcast in?

TV2. On the program Kosmopol.

(I'm doing everything I can to shift focus away from Fleetwood Mac ... can we get back on track please?)

 

[Forkball]

Yes.

 

[Megasoum]

What's the website again where I can see the price history of steam games? I'm wondering when the last time (if ever) Rollercoaster tycoon 3 was discounted. Especially considering it's 10$ more expensive than on other sites.

 

[Stallion Free]

I don't think any of 1-3 are particularly well-paced, have combat to write home about, and maybe 2-3 bosses in each game were truly great.

Castlevania isn't perfect, but it will hold its own against GOW1-3 just fine once the performance issues are fixed by PC.

 

[kurahador]

Huh...finally there's an icon for Dark Crusade.

Been driving me crazy.

Just finished Spec Ops: The Line. Really surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The story, as mentioned by most who have played it, really is very good.

Pick your poison. Only caveat is that SteamGameSales won't display a game at all if it isn't discounted on one of the sites they track.

 

[Fuu]

Crapshot and it doesn't really matter much, but is there any way I can trigger the Steam hardware and software survey in a different computer? It showed up when I opened Steam on my Mac and I want to answer it on my Windows machine since the hardware scan is automatic and that's where I play games.

Also, if I select "no thanks" will it never show up again or will it still come up next month? I want to help with the local stats and having it pop on the wrong machine won't allow that.

Participants are selected randomly. Valve only polls a sample of the Steam userbase at a time.

 

[Bumhead]

No. Though I do intend on correcting seeing Apocalypse Now.

I'm going to assume exposure to either one of those significantly reduces the impact of Spec Ops, though.

I see, thanks. I'll just reply to it on the Mac then, I do use Steam on it for purchases and wishlist purposes anyway.

Well yeah, Spec Ops borrows a lot of themes from Apoc which is HOD in in wartime Nam/Cambodia. Far Cry 2 also borrowed heavily from HOD as well, to the point of straight up taking place in Africa. But the name Conrad in Spec Ops is a direct reference to the author of HOD.

Spec Ops puts a spin on it by using aspects of game design to fuck with the player.

STCC The Game 70% off

GTR Evolution 70% off

RACE On 70% off

The keys for these 4 racing games are really odd. I'll quote what JaseC said in case anyone else is interested.

I bought GTR Evolution, Race 07, Race On and STCC: The Game, and there are a few things to note:

- The key for GTR Evolution activates GTR Evolution, Race 07 and the Race 07 Formula RaceRoom DLC
- The key for Race 07 activates Race 07 and the Race 07 Formula RaceRoom DLC
- The key for Race On activates Race 07, the Race 07 Formula RaceRoom DLC, Race On and STCC: The Game
- The key for STCC: The Game activates Race 07, the Race 07 Formula RaceRoom DLC and STCC: The Game

Basically, if you want all of the above, just buy GTR Evolution and Race On.

Weird, I just finished it last night too. Agreed, game really had me going at the end. Was mildly bored for the first few hours though, I have to admit

Have you read Heart of Darkness or seen Apocalypse Now?

I saw Apocalypse Now so long ago that all I can barely remember it.

 

[morningbus]

Is the game really that bad?

Parts of it really are that bad.

And the parts that aren't that bad are stunningly mediocre.

There is also more of the former than the latter.
