Friday night is my "yell at little kids" night. How can I bark orders at children if Steam is down??

Downtime is all too common lately - would be handy if they had some means by which to communicate updates, e.g. a simple tweet to indicate 'unscheduled maintenance, back online in ~15 minutes', or something like that.
Valve: the only firm able to get away with operating like Ma & Pa's small corner store, despite having millions of customers.

you might just go and buy a game at full price out of share frustration, logic
Actually, lately gaf almost never goes down, kinda surprising, now when you pointed that out.

There has been no "real news" as of late.
Megaton or whatevs. E3 is right around the corner to fix all that.

Anybody else using GMG/Playfire rewards program? It's where you get money for new achievements linked to your steam account... games that I would otherwise never install and play indefinitely. It's been steady show for titles that I own for a hoarder like myself. So far I've got about $13 worth of credit out of it. Goal is to drive down DS2 $40 to $20 near launch date.
They regularly post new rewards every weekday at http://blog.playfire.com/ though they have a time limits for their games.

I would but they haven't transferred over the credit to my GMG account and haven't responded to the support ticket in over a week.
There hasn't been a major expo or game controversy lately.

Bonus game? Would be cool, Aqua Kitty was a nice surprise for me. Or it's just because they could get the Soundtrack and it fits the water theme of the bundle.

Steam down? How am I supposed to idle for cards while playing TitanFall?

I'm definitely experiencing the same thing. It's a slow process of getting credit, maybe about a 3-4 day delay for me. They had a server overload this week and disabled cheevo-sync, but they extended the deadlines for some of them. I'm starting to think that it's better to plan purchases a month or so in advance. Fortunately DS2 still more than a month away.
Yeah, I've got the same issue.

I wonder what's causing these Steam downtimes.

DDoS attacks maybe?
It's quite poor for a service this big to have all the outages it's had lately. I hope there's a good reason for it.
Nuuvem has Castlevania Mirror of Fate HD pre-order for 27,99($12.05)

Use a custom skin.
Crossposting some of my Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z impressions from the OT:
I've played a couple of levels of the PC version, it's kind of a sloppy brawler, but also pretty fun. These reviews were WAY too harsh.
It really is pretty similar to the Deadpool game by High Moon in a lot of ways: 60FPS, goofy tone that works about half the time, surprising amount of mechanics but none of them super polished, etc.
It also seems similar to that game in that you want to start on a lower difficulty to unlock the upgrades and abilities as they carry over and the harder difficulties will chew you up without them.
Full disclosure: I got the game from a trader for like 20 bucks. But really this game doesn't seem any worse than something like that Deadpool game or Ninja Blade.
Pretty sure they're just having trouble keeping up with the ever expanding userbase.

Does anyone know if that Top Gun game and Star Trek DAC can still be registered on Steam? I saw cheap copies of both at a local store and thought about checking them out.

If Epic added trading cards to Bulletstorm they'd make so much money.
But nonetheless, Epic gonna Epic.

Sounds good enough since I enjoyed Deadpool a bit, I'll probably buy it sometime later this year assuming it goes on sale.
Ended up getting NBA 2K14 yesterday. Have never bought any of the previous games, but I like messing about with sports games from time to time. Plus it was cheap. And I'm terrible at it! Going to take me a while to get used to this I reckon.
I have at least one more coupon to get it from Amazon for $5. So if you too want to give it a go on the cheap, PM me and we can work something out.

Top Gun: No, if I recall correctly it tries to install an old version of steam but crashes or freezes doing so.
Star Trek DAC: Yes, retail keys redeem no problem

I'm having a lot of fun with it myself.
It's not something super technical, but I don't know that I'd call it "sloppy". It's kind of like a musou meets action game. It feels like there's more challenge and more skill involved than I've experienced in a musou. But because of the trash mobs (nature of zombies!) the game isn't about the preciseness you'd need in a normal Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry, MGR:R, etc.
It's got a LOT of variety in terms of how you can play since there are 3 combat buttons and you can use the dash button as a modifier too. And there's something pretty awesome about chaining executions.
And if you start playing on hard? It can be easy to get into situations where you get wrecked. So the challenge is there.
Sometimes I think Spelunky doesn't like me. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=240762931
I dream of a day where Capcpom makes a HD/fixed version of Chaos Legion and puts it on steam
Give up. That dream is as dead as Dino Crisis after 3
No way! This has to be photoshopped! I won't ever admit to Spelunky having flaws

As I commented in the picture, it's difficult but not impossible.
