I think I've ended up with four copies of Magicka? All of them after I actually bought Magicka during the last winter sale. And I never ended up playing it because I couldn't find a co-op partner who hadn't played it and had any interest.

I'm thinking about getting an SSD but I don't want to pay the money to get more space than 250GB really. I would like to take advantage of the speed of the drive and install some games on it. Is it possible to have a storage folder on a HDD and a playing folder on the SSD so that I could simply move game files between and have them play?
Would I have to change where the steam shortcut thinks the files are?
Or do I have to go through the faff of trying to get it to see the moved files and sometimes not and reinstalling everything just for funs?

You'd think so but I'm betting it'll be an Agarest sequel/prequel that we'll be seeing next
Please be something better.
No Steam logo, unfortunately, just the generic PC DVD-ROM icon.

Magicka is the definition of bundle.

Well that would be technically be going up since the later games go on to be decent.
Curious about Iesabel, but something tells me it might be a dumbed down mobile-to-PC port of an action RPG?
Wait. It's just a shooting gallery? WHAT. I thought it would at least be a mindless shooter like Rouge Warrior was, but I wasn't expecting it to be a light gun game with quick time events.

Ghostlight did publish Persona and SMT in EU the past decade actually, if we get these games on PC...Nah doubt it'd happen.

Ghostlight are a British publisher of niche Japanese games in the European market. Most notable things they've published are a lot of the Shin Megami Tensei and Persona games in Europe for the PS2, DS, 3DS and PSP. They've also published a lot of Idea Factory games
/) and one of Nihon Falcom's (Ys developer) games.This next announcement is likely another Idea Factory game.
Use SteamMover to put whatever game you wan on SSD and keep the rest on traditional HD. SSD is not much of a game changer for game playing though. However, for day to day usage they are fantastic. Its also pretty useful to know that you can change Document folders etc to be off the SSD and on a normal HD. They fill up pretty fast.

Just started playing this recently myself. Not really sure what I feel about the gameplay...but good grief that soundtrack. Incredible music.
It's his artistic impression of what that portion of his profile will look like when Dark Souls gets its Steamworks patch.

That was, uh, quite the stuff-up.
Syder Arcade was added to the weeklongs.
Well, they both have Square in their name, so that's something?

Dark Souls 2 uses the exact same image for the Achievement, so it can be interpreted either way. In this case, I was referencing to the sequel!

Oh great. Bought.
I thought it was really good. Keep meaning to play it through again.
Sort of a rogue game, take a team of robots into battle, play a turn with a single robot and swap them out the active robot as the situation dictates. Enemy gets a turn - rinse repeat.
You have a set amount of days to build up your robots to take on the end boss battle and how you spend your days fighting is up to you. Different icons on the map screen unlock/give you different things so plan slightly carefully. You get better rewards based on survival, You can fight the end boss without using up all the days available to you.
I was getting loot blind toward the end of the game and from what I recall the auto-fit did a shit job of optimizing a robots capability.
If you haven't listened to the trailer music yet then go do it now, makes me laugh every time. Never in the history of computer gaming has there been such a badly matched piece of music. It's like a cheesy War of the Worlds type tune.

Very nice! Luckily for me I think I nabbed this originally from a Humble Bundle, so I should be able to get the soundtrack from that, even if in a much less awesomely packaged format from yours. Love the deer on that center spindle.
Wait why did you edit in the Armstrong no damage achievement (from sams dlc)?
Cause its awesome, and I want to get it, but I haven't set out to do it yet.
Oh, I thought that was the original intent of the image, completely missed the dark souls bit haha
I've been saying for years now that I'd kill for a controller that takes the basic dual analog gamepad layout and replaces the right thumbstick with a marble-sized trackball. That would be a gamepad I'd enjoy playing FPS's with.
Shows 20% off for me.
I wonder what my rarest achievements are. I bet they're all related to collectables.

I thought Sword and Sorcery was trash on PC. One of the later bosses was the very definition of touch design not translating to mouse.
Bought. Thanks.
Mine are Dishonored DLC and Bioshock Infinite DLC achievements. And Borderlands 2's Challenge Accepted achievement.
I just ninja-edited mine in:

The Total War one really has me scratching my head. Also, I need to resume Stranger's Wrath at some point.

All of my rarest achievements are Left 4 Dead 2 ones, lol.
Top 5 -
WEDDING CRASHER 0.8%
As the Charger, grab a Survivor and crash them through 8 chairs at the wedding.
SACRIFIZZLE 0.9%
As a Special Infected, incap someone who is trying to sacrifice themselves.
HEARTWARMER 1.2%
In a Versus round, leave the saferoom to defibrillate a dead teammate.
PORT OF SCAVENGE 1.2%

Not surprising though, I don't really go for achievements on Steam games. Honestly, the only console where I do feel motivated is on PSN where you get a fancy platinum trophy for the effort.

I'll let you all know what I think of it!
Excellent, if you come back with some good words, i'm picking this up. I'm a sucker for rhythm games of any kind.
That was my first thought but it was unlocked in January 2012. I then thought that perhaps it unlocked because I used someone's save for the 2011 Winter Sale achievement hunt, but it's literally the only Shogun 2 achievement I have (although I most certainly got the sale achievement -- the only game I didn't already have/buy was Game of Thrones and this is reflected in my 98 XP badge).
