So I've had a somewhat change of heart about Enhanced Steam development. I want as many people as possible to have access to the extension, and I don't want to leave anyone out or make anyone use a browser they don't like just on my account.

So I'm working on a fix for the Opera 12 browser. I'll fix the few Firefox bugs that caused it to be rejected, and re-submit. I haven't decided if I'll support Firefox 29+ yet, but at the very least you can choose to stay on Firefox 28 to keep Enhanced Steam working correctly when the time comes.

Wonderful news.

I'm kind of freaking out, why is The LEGO Movie not available for my country (EU2)? halp

you aren't looking hard enough?
http://store.steampowered.com/app/267530/

or your country is saved from movie games by higher powers.

Anyone remembers if Lumines has ever been on sale?

not once! I gave up and removed it from my wishlist, it's plain ridiculous! (><)
I like tetris, but it isn't even best Lumines and it's 9,99&#8364;, for Odin's sake!

At least once. Nothing in the past three-and-a-bit years, though.

that counts for never, wouldn't you agree?

Has anyone used any of their Turd points from IndieGala to enter for poop giveaways on GalaGiveaways.com?

I entered a few giveaways when the site went live but quickly forgot about the whole thing. I also tend to forget about Steam Gifts.

I believe it was delayed here until tomorrow. You can preorder it elsewhere. GMG, for example

Tomorrow? Doubt it, says "Released: April 17, 2014" there for me and no release date on Steam. They delayed it in Europe because of the late launch of the movie, which apparently screws some countries in which it's already in theaters.

I tried just recently several times, their site is weird, I get past first verification step and never get further than that. I'm done with trying.

i totally forgot that the site even exists...

i have like 200000 gala points, time to check the site out again i guess :p

Ya, I looked at my gala points and thought I should do something about them. That didn't go well, I kinda understand why we have so many of those points, we can't spend them in gala store and make giveaways work. (><)

Oh I remember that site. Its where I won giveaways and the guy didnt give me anything because he made a fake giveaway to get more points to enter other giveaways that in turn were probably faking it as well.

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.
We're hibernating :). But still sending steam keys when we get them from developers :)

Good to hear, I really liked your Greenlight bundles. I think a lot of the other bundle sites could learn from the emails with Steam keys of Greenlit games. Great customer service, thanks!
 
Is the steam community stuff down right now for anyone else? Just wanted to sell a few trading cards and received an error. Store is working fine.

So that's what those IndieGala points are for...

Been wondering that for a while now. Not that there would be anything interesting to entering a giveaway for, I suppose.

I own this game, but have never played it. No clue if it is good or not.

That was my fault. I stumbled upon the subreddit for those celebrating 10 years on Steam and started checking the game counts of those who posted links to their profiles. I got right near the end before Steam choked. :(

EDIT: Ah OK figured it out, seems I don't have any of the priced DLC for Europa Universalis despite having the Extreme Edition =p
 
It still baffles me how a company with as many resources as Valve can have over an hour of downtime on a site as big as Steam on a fairly regular basis. Valve needs a good network engineer / software developer / all-around-good-guy
like me

I see what you did there.

It does seem like it happens in high frequency. Not exactly the same, but we have network down time every now and then when they're upgrading the servers (I work for a rather large appliance company), but it usually occurs at obscure times and we're notified ahead of time.

Their random down times are slightly surprising though.

Forgot to mention that Royale Pancake bundle is now on
http://www.indieroyale.com/

I'm way too out of touch with these titles on Steam as I don't even recognize the first four.

Anyways, roommate beat Dust a couple days ago and convinced me to start it up. Started on Hardcore even though I'm not too good at action games and I'm sure I'll become too annoyed and drop it after a bit. I totally did the first boss fight wrong as I
tried to parry once and failed, so I just "whack, evade, whack, evade, whack, evade..."'ed for 5-10 minutes
. I'm sure I'm in for fun times ahead. Voice acting, character models, and writing are all pretty awful, but at least the gameplay is decent enough so far. And it only takes like one or two hits to kill me, so I don't really even have to think about using up any health items ever, which is neat.

People have said the same thing about Blizzard for years.
