I finished Gone Home last night. Like some other posters, I found the game ultimately disappointing, because what I thought would be an

That said, while the plot was lacking, the voice acting and the "writing voices" of the characters were excellent and realistic, and the environments were believable. In spite of knowing in advance that there would be no scares or combat, I felt suitably creeped out exploring the abandoned house all by myself. I didn't spend much time listening to the

Bottom line, I'd enjoy playing another game in a similar style, but I'd definitely want a better story next time.

Overall, no, but on Steam? I think it might be. But as I indicated above, I'm very sure that it's because I don't *get* it. I do find the world-rotation ridiculously clunky and the player movement slow and imprecise.
I do wonder if there's an issue in that I'm trying to treat it as a platformer, and trying to use more twitchy controls than perhaps it wants.
Thanks. I probably didn't feel like paying BTA just for Rocketbirds and A Virus Named TOM.
As for the first three, I think I managed to pick up most of the games in those at some point along the line anyway, with the exception of:
Penumbra: Overture
Lugaru HD
Cortex Command
Steel Storm

guys what do you think jasec ate for lunch today
Between Paper Sorcerer and the Banner Saga, January is going to be an awesome month for weird indie RPG's. Both games remind me of twisted D&D fever dreams.
Has anyone played either yet, or looking forward to them? Swear I heard some podcast talking about Banner Saga, but can't remember which one now.
Also, couldn't beat the Queen in Hammerwatch with only 1 life, so started over. Made it to her in an hour with 12 lives, and then beat her without losing one. Heh. Tomorrow I have off from work and plan to marathon it. Maybe I should start streaming....

Yes, I'm very dissappointed with Valve.

I don't use categories. If you want to reset the categories you've created you can just delete your profile.

Haha, guess.

They are trying to tell you that you already should have beaten all their games 2/3 times already.

Actually I think they are making room for Half Life 3.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Anyone have a list of what games are affected by the update bug? I just got the notification to update/restart Steam and I don't want it to delete my games when I start my computer up tomorrow.
I'm guessing it's just Source engine titles?

Nah, was just hoping you might've made custom categories for all of your games and I could just steal that from ya, instead of putting in effort and making it look all neatly organised myself.
Right-click the non-Steam game and delete shortcut.
Yeah that is what I thought, but I don't see that option

I ate Assassin's Creed. It was delicious.
By doing the opposite of what you do to install it.
I haven't bought many bundles in 2013, so I will probably be interested.
Select from the menu to change or delete from the skins folder.

So I only need to remvoe it from the skins folder?
Are you high right now?
Yes.

Well, install is two parts, usually:
(1) Font Installation
(2) Dropping the folder for the skin into the <SteamHome>\skins\ directory.
So if you want to get rid of it, just switch back to the default and then delete the folder you put in Skins in step (2) above.
There's no real reason to worry about uninstalling any installed fonts.
Let me add a screenshot of what I do see:
Might be a skin issue. Go to default and see if you can remove it.
is this actually recommended? the site kinda freaks me out lol

Lots of people do it.
I'm pretty sure it's just using the Steam API to manipulate data, sort of like Enhanced Steam.
Follow the directions and you should be fine.
Let me add a screenshot of what I do see:
For Source mods, you need to delete them manually (\\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\) and restart Steam.
Really glad to see Depression quest get greenlit. It's incredibly well written and a realistically portrayal of mental illness. The way they deal with choices and branching paths is pretty clever. It's an experience I highly recommend. It might be a trigger for some people though so tread lightly.
