Another thing to add to the list of desired client 'features' - the ability to tag/rename your games. Better category management is still my #1, individually moving them is a bitch. Having the option to hide specific games would be neat too.
Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 4 - The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood is slightly longer but Hamlet is much more terrible.
You could have it as a setting under tools to view hidden games or something.
All I really want is bulk categorizing and installing for me. Bought a new laptop and went to install 200 games... Wasn't fun.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Speaking of Telltale; Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People Episode 4 - Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective is also pretty long.
Thankfully, it shows up as SBCG4AP.
ToMI:C4-tTaEoGT at least doesn't look like it's trying too hard. Hamlet just reminds me of where Polonius said, "Brevity is the soul of wit," then
proceeded to ramble at length

Exactly. I spent hours and hours reading through the catalogs and advertisements from the old Chips & Bits mail order video game retailer, or reading through PC Gamer back when I couldn't afford a PC, trying to figure out what games I would buy if I had the money to buy them. That also combined with my love of the experience of going to a library or store of some kind with a huge selection that fits my every need, and the desire to have that in my own home. That is what the Steam/GOG library means to me. A solution to the desire to be able to experience all of the older games I missed out on, and the desire to have access to a full array of games to fit my every whim.
Now all I am missing is the enormous amount of carefree spare time I had in my youth.
Is $1 really too much for those 2 Games?
I mean, I don't have Paypal or nothing like that, the only way I could get it is by keyconomy, and traders ask too much for a bundle (1 key, double the $1 tier). That annoys me >.<

I think I'm pretty satisfied with each and every one of the games I have in my library.
The candidates would be:
*Bioshock Infinite - because it so often annoyed my while playing it.
*Godus - which is still very early in development
*Peggle - It really isn't that good.
*Pixeljunk Monsters - because they didn't handle online coop as well as I had hoped. But of course it isn't actually a bad game.
*Sid Meier's Railroads! - because they removed stock trading and station improvements from Railroad Tycoon
*Trackmania United - because I never really got hooked on it.
One of them would be the worst I own on Steam.
Hell, if Origin can do it. Support needn't be involved, just an improvement to the client or a better one that is more customer orientated.
This is true. It's my "thinking what game to play" game.
Then 8 hours pass and I end up playing nothing else.
Yes. As someone who only just recently built a gaming PC, I have a lot of catching up to do. When I see a good deal on a game I've drooled over as either a child or young adult, I excitedly purchase it. 90% of the time, I never actually play whatever game it is. But I have the ability to, and that's nice.
Sometimes I think about quitting my job and devoting a couple months to my backlog. Not that I'd ever do it, but it's a fantasy of mine.
That's blasphemy of highest order!
Next, someone will post Tetris, Sudoku or Bejeweled, mark my word. (><)
Even if it's not your type of a game, no way you see it as not good enough. And if it was better, you'd like it.

But that doesn't hide them, or remove them, you can make category hidden yourself and move games there, it's the same, no?
Nah. Soundtrack, art and a skin isn't worth the extra cost to me.
Of those I've played, either Doc Clock or And Yet It Moves. AYIM frustrates me more, though, given I know it does have fans but I just find it relentlessly clunky to control. I think Doc Clock is a more 'universally' poor game.
Weird. Getting an error that i can't trade with some other person. I also can't sell cards. The button is greyed out and says: 'Cookies may not be enabled on your browser, check that all cookies are allowed by your browser or log out and in again'.
I'm using the client. Solution?

or Bioshock is just bad.
While it won't remove them from the library, you're right about support there, they are no longer shown - so no category or entries to view. A sorting option allows you to return them to the library. It's a minor issue though, I'd much rather have a drag n' drop system or whatever for moving games into categories.
Fuck, I have less free time than usual these days and the Steam sale just ended, leaving me with a big list of new games. I stare at them and it feels like the hangover after the party : how am I supposed to play all these games and which one first ? It's a little intimidating.
Starbound is installing right now. If it's anything like Terraria, all the questions will be null for the foreseeable future :-X

I used to get that quite a bit, try using the website instead, that worked for me whenever I got that error.
The Game of Thrones RPG, no question.
Worst dollar I ever spent on a bundle. :lol
Oy... that game is worth more than one dollar. I'd go as far as saying worth 2 dollars.
Under appreciated game.

Use the browser and just set up trade offers.
I know it's a pain but I have the same issue and haven't found a fix aside from that.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Without getting too cute about subjective taste in games, I'd say Legendary is probably the worst game in my library that I've actually played. X-Blades would be a close second.
I also have Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens: Colonial Marines on there, but I managed to extract some enjoyment from the spectacle of their short comings. They're so very informative in the subject of how not to develop a game.

Thank you for Surgeon Simulator 2013 Hasney.
That site does nothing for me. It only shows a collection of dots. Is it supposed to be showing images that are blocked here at work?
I dread to think about what the real life achievement of My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute would be.
EDIT: sorry for the double post
Whaaaat? And Yet It Moves is a brilliant game. Surely it can't be the worst you have played.
Ah ok. Well providing your profile is not set to private (or the site blocked at your work) it will look at all your games and randomly pick a selection. You can chose how many games to randomise from 1 upwards as well as add 3 other people to the list to compare games you all have in common.
Still it doesn't strap you down and force you to play it though, which is what I probably need.
Made by Terry Cavanagh? Now I'm interested!

It's already the humble download link. I think it still works. Already have it so I'm giving it away.

Haha, I completely agree. Someone should create a site that did exactly that.
*looks at Jshackles*
I wish I didn't try to redeem To the Moon again to get the soundtrack, as someone said yesterday. It probably was already discussed, but it didn't work for me.
Even if it worked, I would probably get more enjoyment from giving away a good game here, than having a second way to access a sountrack that I may never listen to...
With my obligatory whining out of the way, here are two games from the Humble Bundle X, that I am really happy to have already had the chance to play.

I'm hoping now that jshacks has begun porting ES to the client that he might be able to hack this feature in
Here you go guys, my favorite game. Hope you enjoy.

I've spent the past few hours trying to get my PC to boot (sigh) - motherboard warning LEDs lit up like a Christmas tree, I think it's on it's last legs.
Anywho.
I hope I'm around to share this moment with you, Jase - we shall dance a little jig together (or post Saoirse high-five gifs, whichever).
It is indeed beautiful. I can't even fathom how much time and love must have gone into hand-drawing (painting?) the art for Dust, it has lovely little details everywhere. I've been so pleasantly surprised by this game in all sorts of ways, and I'm now an unashamed Noogy fan-boy.
Nice one, GK - I think it's my favourite, too. If I were to be stranded on that proverbial desert island where one can only take a single game, I'd choose CivV.

Same here, although I haven't noticed more free space.
