Looks like it, cant open the store page. What's going on over at Valve?

Geez, again?

Milamber bundle @ Indie Gala.

I bought it and haven't installed any of those games. Guess I'm part of the problem :/

I even added the free porn DLC for Vanguard Princess on my account.

Vis-a-vis the client, two things still annoy me greatly:

- The first CD key registering instance in the the current instance of the client freezing up the client for a good 10 or so seconds, and
- Verifying a game's cache completely locking you out of the rest of the client (although you can cancel the process, of course)

There's another one: when a game finishes downloading, the client freezes for several seconds while it's being installed. It doesn't matter if it's the whole game or an update, it will freeze.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Yea, steam is screwy..again. jeez.

Thought about getting Volgarr but I hear its pretty damn hard. Not sure if I have the patience for anything difficult right now.

It's been down most of the morning for me here in the UK and it was patchy last night. I wonder what's going on because i haven't had this many Steam outages for years.

Hopefully they are upgrading stuff in the background ready for the new features and stores or something.

I can't say I've ever noticed this.

Just finished Dysfunctional Systems:Learning to manage chaos.

Had gotten one ending earlier but went and finished the other route. All in all was a fun read. It's definitely a slower experience but I don't mind that. The VN after getting both endings is only about 3 hours or so. THANK GOD the kickstarter was a success and even reached some stretch goals. Would have been pissed to finish this game with no true ending in sight.

Fake Edit: Also want to add the music is great and obviously being a VN the achievements are easy to get.

Real Edit: If you have the game do yourself a favor and look at the fan art in the extras menu. it's so raunchy and doesn't fit the tone of the game it's hilarious.

Personally I wouldn't call pantyshots porn. To my knowledge VP DLC doesn't add anything explicit - just some white flashes here and there and silhouettes similar to Sailor Moon transformation sequences.

 

[RionaaM]

You can expect exactly the same situation like on Google Play store - thousands of crappy look-alike apps, f2p with iap being top grossing and malware here and there.

This sounds incredibly afwul. The only good thing that can come out of it is if some random guy uploads NOLF 1 & 2 and I get to download it before it's taken down. Same deal with Jazz Jackrabbit 2.

 

[MRORANGE]

Less than 10 pages, it's time for a new title,

Right now Nam's is the one to beat.

Yeah I was surprised that they even bothered to make that stuff DLC.
Either steam was really being a jerk or they just took it on themselves to do it.
Personally when GTA can so a full on penis, I don't think DLC is needed for some panty shots.

 

[EmergentFocus]

Just a little to give back to the community and fill up your library

Cheers for East India Company, Mr. Abomination

Steam thread IV - Valve is working to fix it

 

[PandaPedinte]

Oh shit steam store is down!

I could be more surprised if it was up. >.>

 

[JaseC]

Speaking of older stuff, I was thinking about Nightmare Creatures the other day. From a quick look on the USPTO website it seems Ubisoft owns the IP so there's a faint chance the games will show up on GOG at some point.

 

[jon bones]

just picked up a bunch of keys for some flights i have coming up. perfect opportunity to play through gone home, stanley parable, jazzpunk & broken age.

any other modern adventures on steam i should take a look at?

 

[RionaaM]

I can't say I've ever noticed this.

So it's my PC then?

I really should build a new one, but I don't feel like spending $1500+, especially with how expensive everything is here right now.

I think Primordia is interesting. Nice contrast from Broken Age.

Sounds like you're all set to me.

This is true too. Unless you are flying to Mars that is.

Steam market/inventory is so unstable atm

I don't think anyone will want to waste $100 submission fee for adding copyright breaking entries.
I'm sure Valve will crack down on that kind of stuff somewhat fierce.

 

[Alduin]

Man, can't believe it's down again.. D:

 

[PandaPedinte]

I hope Valve fix whatever problem they are having before the next sale.

 

[JaseC]

Possibly, although people had issues with Dota 2's updates playing silly buggers with HDD responsiveness but I never encountered those myself, either.

Nvidia should be detailing Maxwell in a matter of hours so hopefully we get a release date window.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Community Guides is working flawlessly though. Which is all we need right?

 

[super-famicom]

Ok, I thought it was just me. Updated the Steam app on my iPhone 4S and nothing works.

 

[JaseC]

Brady/Prima guides or bust!

 

[Broder Salsa]

RIP in peace STEAM powered client.

 

[Tizoc]

Got a 25% discount code from GMG that apparently on works on certain games, I think new releases or coming soon titles. If they don't offer anything i'd like today I'll post it here.

Yea Dota updates used to fuck up my harddrive usage.. some other games do it too, total war 2 for example.. it's really weird.

It's about high time that Valve switched to diesel or electricity.

Obviously Blizzard is hosting D3 on Steam's servers.

Steam Thread IV: A New Hope (of it not being down)

 

[cardinalmind]

Wow, Steam won't even load on my PC. Or when it loads, something something network issue. Just when I wanted to play Dead Island Epidemic. What's happening? Valve sacrificing some good servers for the success of SteamOS and Steam Machines to Cthulhu?

Gaben Pls.

never played a wadjet eye game but i've been meaning to. will put it on the ol wishlist!

Sounds like you're all set to me.

If you haven't played it already, Monkey Island 2 SE is great.

Actually just 'Steam Thread IV: Offline Mode' would be cool

played most of the classics already, with the exception of Fate of Atlantis which i'm saving for a rainy day

Jesus Valve, update the Steam Android app. Since when are iOS users the priority?

Since Forever

You know it to be true on gaming side

 

[JaseC]

I managed to list the final few cards I had sitting in my inventory. It's a miracle!

Edit: And I can finally redeem my gifts, too.

 

[Chance Hale]

The second Burial at Sea episode is reviewing quite well, hopefully it'll stand as a great sendoff to Irrational. Looking forward to playing it after I finish dissecting cats ;-;
