I never caught in the simulation-hype is it just any good for anyone outside the simulations-community?

Hm, I thought Last Knight was supposed to unlock 15 minutes ago. Sneaky Gaben.

Most of these games are really bad, i just like them for the trash factor which can be really funny when played with friends.
And of course the all mighty +1
I asked about the Steam version of Trials Fusion and the pre-order bonuses on Twitter, got a response.
Now I can start downloading the closed beta from Steam.

Spares:
Apparently I also didn't own RACE's Caterham expansion, which is odd as I bought the SimBin Mega Bundle during last year's last Summer Sale.

Holy shhhhhhhhhhh
Better yet: hovertows with auto power-lacing hooks!
Surpisingly enough, not being a teenager in USA 80s or in a Pavement video, I don't give a damn about hoverboards but please inject in my veins those auto-adjustable clothes because I've gained some weight in the last couple of years and my only one expensive suit doesn't fit me anymore. 
It depends on the game.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is an excellent game, even if you're not into trucks and whatnot.
Beautiful to see, relaxing to play and challenging when you have to reverse park your truck.
Of course you won't get anything out of it if your approach is Burnout-like (except some not-so-cool barrel rolls), but if you need some good hours of laid back gameplay then it's great.

Thanks for Bridge Project!
Thanks!
Hiring staff that are targeted towards steam would probably go against their flat structure and philosophy that people get to work on what they want to work on (dependant on their abilities).
In regards to the steam client, the beta is getting a lot of interesting updates, but I would actually take a guess that they have been working on a new client for some time, particularly due to there expected move to user generated stores and a move away from curating steam as well. Chances are it will come out within the period that steam machines and everything else hit the public.
When particularly looking at the question of "why can't I categorise my library", it is a simple feature to implement - unless it is involved in a far larger system change that they plan to release. It may be pointless to implement a system of categorisation now, with the knowledge that those user defined categories are then unusable following a change in their system. There was mention a while ago of implementing a system that allowed simple optimisation of games and easy identification of components that are hindering the experience/need upgrading. Together with user generated stores, tags, and whatever else they are planning, maybe it will all make sense when ever they discuss it more publicly - hopefully soon

for those waiting on Nvidia GPU news, looks like Maxwell won't be the GPU line to look out for, but Pascal
its unified memory feature got moved to Pascal and now they only list DX12 as a feature lol

My game count only went up by 2 so it seems I did already own the RACE expansion as I'd initially assumed. I've no why the key redeemed to my account.
No worries.

The Steam servers being down is just Valve giving us a console like experience. xD
Rarely had any problem with Xbox Live (PSN on the other hand...), so it reminds me more of the good old WoW days, when I was used to enter the queue to get in before dinner so that after I climbed up at most half of it, and then after another hour or so, once finally in game, being kicked out because I had to go take a pee.

Hooray! HUZZAH!!
Now to wait for the discounts to be applied...
Edit: Going to shake my fist at Steam, Gabe, and the sky above if the DLCs are not discounted... hopefully Steam is up long enough for me to check.

9 gigs huh? Welp, just don't go down again Stearn.
Valve allows third-party content servers so there's no need to worry. Some of the more popular ISPs here in Australia run their own, for example.
Well, I just got home and tried to have my regular CS: Global Offensive session, and I can't even make a party, and the matchmaking system can not find a game too - my buddies are in the same boat...
