Thanks for I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, The_Super_Inframan!
Why do I feeling this is only going to add to the clutter on the front page.
it's amazing! not even kidding! Ok, a little
HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

Surely they're going to revamp the client, right?
As close as we are going to get to Steam forcing developers to post patch notes. Love the feature.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
More likely to (if anything) just change the homepage. Best case scenario we get a site-wide redesign, but that seems unlikely.
If that's the case, I'll have some major work to do on Enhanced Steam.
I also think it's a good idea - the platform as a whole really lacks the whole "targeted advertising" perspective. The idea of being able to customize this new dialog on the homepage to only show games you own, etc is a good step in the right direction, imho

I think you've pretty much grinded enough, anything past 40 isn't worth the effort or time even with Gaf-Gold triple XP DLC.

If the new section it gets placed in is just another tab alongside New Releases and Top Sellers, it sounds completely harmless. They already did a solid by removing early access from new releases so everything's been in order.

Ok, took it.
I would imagine they want it to be visible and not hidden in another tab. We'll see though.
On a sidenote, the front page really should be completely customisable by allowing the user to move around the boxes and hide/show them. I'd like to make more use of a widescreen resolution.
Our only hope is getting jshackles on the job. Truly the UI hero we need.
Obligatory petition posting for those who haven't signed it yet.
Speaking of which I had a bit of a barmy idea that I don't know how easy it would be to pull off. Seeing as you can launch a game for your browser could you say have a link on your games page to boot up any installed games? It just uses the command steam://rungameid followed by the app id right?

There was supposed to be Castlevania LoS2 PC news today right or did I just imagine that?
We can dream. All of this would involve making the front page not just a fucking html page, tho... and if they're going to finally do that, they might as well un-htmlfuck all the other pages so they can be brought into this century instead of the 17th.
I'm convinced Konami will never let us preorder it now. They really do hate money.
let me tell you about a great little game 10,000,000. It seems to be a roguelike and match 3 hybrid game and it is, but in fact it's your way to freedom, hilarious and really nerve racking.
When you upgrade your weapons and armour, kill all dragons every single time, you might think you deserve your freedom, but it's about a million or two away... every single time!
To make story short, buy it! It's one of the best ways to spend 0,99 that I know of.

played for 10 hours, had a blast, still can't quite get to freedom. It's no easy game.

Finished Bioshock Infinite, fun game , I preferred it to the first bio (I didn't finished it, because of the mouse acceleration and the story didn't really get me), also I love
so I enjoyed it. Only thing is that I found the final part a little rushed,
time travel/alternate universes stuff
I didn't have the time to understand what they were showing me, door after another. When I finally put the pieces together I've found it a nice ending, but as I said earlier, a little rushed
Its coming soon
Looks like pre-order for LoS2 is coming soon, with a surprise. Probably Mirror of Fate HD or LoS1 included.

This is something I've been pondering for quite some time now. While technically possible, using Enhanced Steam to do this just seems... weird. As in, the page would load then Enhanced Steam would go to work moving the elements on the page around to the locations you've previously set. It works, but honestly isn't a very good user experience. Now if Valve would hurry up and hire me...
This would be very much possible. I'll look into it.
It would be so strange if that is what they chose to go with. Their biggest fans preordering the sequel are going to be the ones that already bought and enjoyed the original game.
Makes the Mirror of Fate HD rumor so much more plausible.

And it's this

Well, I hope they're as sensible as we expect them to be!

When is Valve going to decide that it's okay to have a website that's wider than 600 pixels?
Hahaha no need to on my account just musing about all the things that are possible but don't get added. I'd rather we get you installed at Valve
though anything that helps can't be bad right?On the subject of the front page, you mean something like iGoogle right? That could be really neat but I would imagine would be loads of work storing all the layouts for all the users you have.

Speaking of that Blink Bundle, what are GAF impressions on Gnomoria? Looks like DF-lite, which sounds kinda interesting as DF has always seemed too time consuming to learn for me.
Cool beans. I already use custom soundtracks with some games by my own means but it will be nice to have an in-client alternative.

Yeah it could initially be like iGoogle - place each "section" or "box" on the site in the order you'd like to see it. The values would be stored in the user's preference storage rather than on my server.
You could rearrange the sections of the homepage to your liking (or delete the ones you never use).
If people think this would be an idea worth exploring, let me know.
I don't really use my music with games, but it's nice feature for those who do.
c'mon now, let's be reasonable, it's clearly 800 pixels!

Tempting, but where is Goat Simulator?
Mine ended with Day-Z mod/Arma II.
Welcome to the club!
Never!
I usually don't in first/normal playthroughs, but it's a must for me when I'm doing challenges, achievements and such, especially in shooty open world games like Far Cry 3 and Just Cause 2. Great way to tune-out.
Looks like Paper Monsters is not a legit release.
