Yeah they kinda suck. Preferred the old style, but I wouldn't mind it if they just removed it as a mouseover and made it a click instead.
99% now!98% already?
Can't wait to get XCOM.
I prefer the drop down menus compared to what we had(quicker access and such) but honestly it feels like they're just trying to figure out how to display all of the newer features steam had received on a ui that was designed before those features were planned. They really should make a new ui from scratch imo.

100%! How long does it take the game to get into your library?
It's 10:43pm in Bellevue, so unless someone is working the late shift it'll be several hours.
Honestly you should just trade for what you want. If you don't want to deal with trade servers you can use a website like Team Fortress 2 Warehouse.
I use TF2 warehouse to buy a lot of my items.

I assumed it would be automatic :/ Oh well.
Somebody has to flick the switch, but after that it's automatic (i.e. those late to the party will instantly receive their bonuses upon purchase).
how do you get actual money with this?

Oh okay. I guess I will download it tomorrow then.
you're welcome, game's awesome
just got kicked out of my apartment and my cat's about to die
feel good game of the year!
I don't think they actually pay you out with real money, you trade in TF2 items for credits and then can use those credits to buy other TF2 items. The whole thing is automated through the website and bots run the steam accounts.
booooo
cant do nothin with that
Well there is this website if you want to sell your TF2 items.
I've never used the site but I believe it's legitimate.

I finished it some time ago, and, if my memory is correct, this puzzle is really necessary to proceed in the game
Fantastical
Death Prophet
Addicted to Tropico 3. Glad I picked it up in the recent sale.

The Amazing Spider-Man
For a movie tie-in game, it was actually pretty decent. It was a fun game, but kinda "empty." I'm sure people would compare it to Spider-Man 2, but it was really worth my time. Took about 12ish hours to beat. Still have to play the Stan Lee pack though.
Definitely recommend people play it when it's cheap.

Is there a color mode? I'm not digging the black and white. I've heard good things but that black and white is putting me off purchasing it.
nope, but I dont really find it bothersome and it totally fits the grim tone of the game
lol thought you actually meant yourself.you're welcome, game's awesome

With all the new stuff found on the database in the past week, any chance of a new thread for that stuff? Seems like there's been a sizeable cache. Would be good to have something outlining the confirmed/MIA games.
I think indies are in for a bit of a shock this month releasing all around GDC. I know it's probably a good time with all the free press but there's just too many games releasing all at once up against Bioshock Infinite. I'm probably only going to be able to buy/play a couple, as I already bought a Monaco 4 pack.
Fez, Monaco, Don't Starve, Dyad, Incredipede, Amnesia, DayZ.. probably a bunch of Greenlight stuff

there's a bunch of threads that have been made throughout the day, including one dedicated for leaks alone

Wow so much more than I expected. Funny, that of all these games none of them are Half Life related.
You made a wise choice. Best played in the dark imo.
fuck it man couldn't wait. Looks way too much up my alley
Horray
So when do I get XCOM? It seems it's not in my library
Not sure, maybe someone at Valve has to press a button. Still, that unlocked faster than I expected.

god damn it salsa why would you do this to me
you know steam syndrome makes it harder to resist when someone else picks up a game
honestly i'd say wait till a sale. I only grabbed it because I got some spare money and im guessing that I might be able to make some of the purchase back by selling the TF2 Bioshock items..
the thing that pushed me over the edge is that apparently episode 2 is coming out in april and it seems like the kinda thing I'd want to talk to other people about as they come out. Like The Walking Dead

Everyone got their XCOM but me, why?
I'd imagine the system is slowly rolling it out over time. It is 5:14 AM on the east coast and even earlier where Valve is located and I doubt Valve has many people, if any, watching the service to oversee the X-Com rollout.
Hahahaha. Brilliant.
edit: lol
Explains why it takes some time why I don't get XCOM
Couple of new sale misc sales on gamefly
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Hitman Absolution
Both are steam redeemable

How do you get the achievements for those apps that would return an empty set?
Fuck. Guess I'll try to brute force my way through it.
