Not sure if this will work 100% but better to give it away than to hold onto it like some kind of hoarder (which I am).

Excellent giveaway.

 

[mannerbot]

If you'd like it, it's yours whenever Steam's back up.

Who, me?

Wow, thanks!

 

[PandaPedinte]

You peeps okay if I do 5 minute interval posts where I count down the top 10 games an hour before the specified time?

Would give people time to reflect/celebrate/complain about the scoring.

Sounds good.

 

[The_Monk]

Yeah, doesn't make a lot of sense, Valve isn't a major 'corporation' as such, and not the typical target for such shenanigans, but perhaps it has more to do with the visibility of the hit, given Steam's huge user base.

The sad thing is that some of these script kiddy keyboard warriors might have some real skill, knowledge and talent, if it were used for good and not evil. Perhaps.

People can find hate or negative things in almost everything if they want. I personally don't understand the waste of time and focus on the bad things specially when life gives you so much to live for. Different perspectives, I believe.

 

[Natty1]

Excellent giveaway.

I think I fixed it.

 

[thesaucetastic]

DERP hit Origin and they are hitting Steam in return because they like to play Battlefield. It's like a fight between 5-year olds.

It's really disappointing that a petty fight like this has dragged both clients down.

 

[kiguel182]

Their hobby is hacking :-(

They need a new one then lol

Hm...
You can try the old rename the .blob to .whatever trick and starting steam after that.
Edit: Or go to Settings/Downloads and click the content libraries button and re-add the directory yourself. Totally forgot they added that.

Hmm, never mind. I got it to finally work. Thanks!

 

[Jørdan]

I think I fixed it.

Looks good, thanks again for giving someone the chance to enjoy this great game.

 

[NotSelf]

Just curious what everybody's favorite game they bought off the sale,(assuming you even played your games) mine would have to be brothers so far, haven't dived into spelunky yet

Ys I nearing the end fantastic game not much depth but the art and music more then make up for it.

The ending for brothers is something special.

Once you start spelunky there's no turning back I already have 100 hours into it.

 

[Stallion Free]

I never noticed Origin was down.

Because I never fucking use it.

 

[The Red Wizard]

Thanks to Lonewolf_92 for The Ship - 2 pack! I'll give away the spare copy here once the Steam DDOS is over.

 

[JaseC]

This is the first* mainline Steam thread without a mention of Saoirse in the OP.

Farewell, my Irish princess.

* Well, not quite.

 

[Turfster]

Hmm, never mind. I got it to finally work. Thanks!

Glad you figured it out.
Mind telling us how you did it, in case anyone else runs into the same problem?

Aren't there like, 50 more people that have Scorsese Romulan avatars now tho?

 

[Sajjaja]

You can enter if you like. Right guys?

I'd rather someone without the game enter it so they could play it.

 

[oipic]

Sounds great, thanks, Mr O - bring it on.

Somewhat related, it looks like the image links in the OP may have died? Or is it just me?

 

[Jørdan]

Haha, I was much the same until I got the C&C collection last week for $4 or something.

 

[belushy]

So did anyone happen to pick up an extra copy of RPG Maker VX Ace during the sale?

 

[Ogedai_Khan]

Oblivion has me hooked. Really good buy < $5 from the sale.

 

[Caerith]

This is the first* mainline Steam thread without a mention of Saoirse in the OP.

Time to bring back Dale Cooper.

 

[MRORANGE]

Sounds fun~

Sounds cool, especially since Steam is dead. It's not like we're doing anything else...

I'm quite okay with that. Give us a chance to discuss it a bit and focusing on the good before moving.

Sounds fine, better for discussing each than dropping the whole list at once.

Sounds good.

Sounds great, thanks, Mr O - bring it on.

okay great, this should be good.

OP, seems fine to me oipic, PM a printscreen, it might be min.us, in that case I will re-upload it.

 

[elektrixx]

I'm pissed about not getting the Steam sale badge. I was gonna either trade or buy the last card I needed but the site was down all the way through the end.

I'm never getting a badge again.

 

[JaseC]

It's like when your only child has grown up enough to fly the nest.

Time to bring back Dale Cooper.

Only if her and I start dating.

Yup, that really sucks.

 

[thesaucetastic]

woo, I can get on Steam's forums now.

 

[sflufan]

woo, I can get on Steam's forums now.

I'm sorry

 

[FloatOn]

woo, I can get on Steam's forums now.

Awful bunch over there. Stay within the warm comfort of steamgaf. It's my home away from home.

 

[nextgeneration]

Glad you figured it out.
Mind telling us how you did it, in case anyone else runs into the same problem?

Yeah, of course. If anyone has their games installed on two different drives (or more - I'm assuming the same problem would occur on more than two drives also), a problem that you may encounter is Steam won't recognize all your installed games that you installed onto you non-primary drive.

To fix this, pick any game from your non-primary drive and point it to the folder when your non primary drive is. Once you do that, all the games should show up again.

 

[Atraveller]

woo, I can get on Steam's forums now.

Don't.

 

[Turfster]

Damn it, the more I look at it, the more I'm kicking myself for missing that Daedalic humble bundle. This was back when I was stuck in the linking loop and didn't see any point in buying more bundles if the were all going to be like that from now on.

Thanks. It's always good to expand our collective hivemind knowledge

 

[JawesomeJaw]

I haven't even gotten into the client since last night. Hopefully this is all settled before I get home from work.

 

[KenOD]

Just curious what everybody's favorite game they bought off the sale,(assuming you even played your games) mine would have to be brothers so far, haven't dived into spelunky yet

Really Big Sky. The randomly generated shoot-em-up that simply has so much variation to what goes on in any particular play through and the various modes it offers that I enjoy every session I've had with it despite the fact it will never be the most high crafted experience other Shoot-em-ups go for with tight design.
It really is quite fun to go into it for a high speed run and suddenly hit a wormhole (something I didn't know existed) and it became a "Race For The Sun" type experience instead of seeing how long I could survive. Likewise for the point the music became techno and I was playing what felt like Soundodger

I'll most likely have another answer in a few weeks when I've fully gone through what I bought during the Steam sale though. I traded a lot to get some of the titles I wanted, others were generously gifted to me, and most I haven't even touched yet due to being on a week laptop (attempting to play Sonic Generations immediately shut it down).

That sounds like a great idea.

 

[Atraveller]

Any new year gaming resolution guys?

 

[jwtsonga]

They need a new one then lol

Or maybe even just use their skills/interests for good purposes rather than evil...

 

[JaseC]

Don't.

I posted in the "Games Removed from Steam" thread that Anno 1404 is on its way back.

Nobody cared.

 

[nai]

Just bought the XCOM: Enemy Unknown - Elite Soldier Pack on GMG, but in my DLC menu on Steam it lists two things. Does anyone know why?

 

[thesaucetastic]

haha, no worries guys, I don't actually post there. I was just looking up a question I had when Steam crapped out, so when I just refreshed it came back. I only discuss Steam here!

The old SPUF is kinda dead.

There was probably some kind of pre-purchase incentive DLC that you have.

 

[Gamerloid]

woo, I can get on Steam's forums now.

Steam's official forum should just link here lol

 

[Echoplx]

Waking up and seeing MGR preload, feels good man.

And it's already on my ISP content servers so free download

 

[JaseC]

The old SPUF is kinda dead.

I'm surprised it's as alive as it is, haha.

 

[Turfster]

Steam's official forum should just link here lol

Hell no. Keep those beings out of here =p

 

[Gamerloid]

Steam seems to be back

 

[Pakkidis]

I can't launch any games from steam It says it can't sync up properly,

 

[Ogedai_Khan]

It looks like CES is next week... looking forward to more info on Valve/Steam Machine.

 

[rainking187]

So I won Alpha Protocol, but I see people saying they wanted the game to go to someone that hadn't played it. I did play it on PS3 3 years ago when it first came out, I just wanted to have it on Steam, since I'm focused more on PC gaming now. Not sure what I should do.

EDIT: Fuck, last post on the page, no one's going to read this.

 

[The Red Wizard]

How do I get a link to give away an item in my inventory?
