Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Since i've upgraded my PC seven months ago and became almost exclusive to PC, i've scored over one hundred steam games...
Haven't even paid a dollar a piece.
PC gaming is so darn cheap. Still suprises me everytime.

hmm the game options has a Dinput toggle though.
strange.
has anyone figured Wii U Pro Controller USB support? Google only refers me to the bluetooth stack... (which I don't think works with my Bluetooth dongle used for Dualshock3)

PC gaming used to be cheap, but then I have started buying Dota cosmetics. This year, I will be cautious.
Ahoy there, welcome aboard.

None of the wrappers or drivers that work for the DS3/DS4 work for the NeoGeo pad. Only way to use it for Xinput games is to use x360ce or remapping software like xpadder.
The thing is kind of annoying to set up to be honest. It has the best d-pad I've ever used though so it's worth putting up with.
The worst part is I think mine came with the L2 shoulder button spoilt. Argh.
hmm so it supports only direct input?
Thank you!

Yes it only supports directinput. There are also times where you have to hold the both start and select buttons while plugging it in because games don't recognize the d-pad.
Happy birthday, Jawmuncher. I wish you RE7 on steam this year! 
Before my last resolution not to buy anything I don't plan to play immediately (it was after 2013 summer sale), I did some math, and for every 5 games I do finish I buy about 50 in that time. Granted, I play much more than 5 games in said period of time, still I play them in much slower pace than I buy them. That leads me to conclusion that I too am compulsive buyer. When I try to reason with myself, I fail usually, as I want most of the games I buy, the problem is, I can't play everything what I want, but while buying I don't think it terms will I play it, I'm convinced I will, even if I know that's impossible.
How convoluted is that? Convoluted games' plots, gaf is so fond of raging against, don't even compare! (><)
I've finished 58 games last year. So it's not like I don't play them. Just don't ask how many I have bought.

That's almost 5 games a month that you are completing...
I can't even comprehend how one would do that. How do you find so much free time? Or are a lot of them 2-5 hour indie games?
Half an hour left

Heh. You don't get better at Dota. You just start sucking less.
Even that is arguable, you get sucked in more, the more you play, no? (><)

Don't dive enemy towers by yourself, never attack creeps in the first 15 minutes unless it's a last hit or a deny, never buy boots tango as your starting items.

Yes it is. Add me if you like, I wouldn't mind finding some people to play co-op with.
Same as above.
This is where I got mine.
Renj is awesome.

I finished 67 last year, I think... there was a little creative counting there (walking dead season 1 was 5 entries, some "meatier" DLC was also counted as it's own game [example: Vergil's Downfall]).
The count for this year is already at 1 -- I finished Bastion yesterday! Slowly but surely destroying my unplayed backlog. I don't count games like RE5, RE6, Dead Rising 2, etc. that I've played to death on consoles -- I just like having everything on one platform, so when I sold the console versions, I picked up the Steam versions on the cheap.
That's impressive, I think I never crossed 50 finished games per year line.
If we consider that on average a game is about 10 hours long, some being shorter, some longer. It takes 2-4 days to finish a game, about 10 games a month that would be. But! if we remember strategy games, MMOs., MOBAs, infinite puzzle games, It's not reasonable to expect to finish 100 games a year, but much close to 50 and less.And I think most of us here buy much more than 100 games a year.
Hey guys so I've seen that apparently you can toggle an option to allow steam to continue downloading when you launch a game, however I cannot find where that option is, would someone please point me in the right direction? I would've thought the 'downloads' tab in settings would be it but apparently not

Opt into the client beta and there'll be a universal toggle in that very place.
Here's the full list
Some of them are short indies, true, but then there's Kingdom of Amalur, Mass Effect trilogy, etc... What can I say, having insomnia helps a lot.

Are you using the beta client?
Xpadder should work with both controllers, and here is a post for Wii U Pro Controller to PC from gbatemp.
Including Black Flag, which I'm counting because I would have completed it in time had Uplay not eaten my save, I finished 5.5 games last year:
- AssCreed 3's DLC (0.25)
- BioShock Infinite
- Kentucky Route Zero (0.25; just the first episode)
- FEAR
- Rayman Origins
- Tomb Raider 2013

You play like a non-gamer.
These are games you finished or all you have played?

having the combination of ADD & OCD so you never really finish anything high five!

AC3's DLC is meaty when you combine the 3 episodes. It should be a .5 at least.
I may not play many games, but when I do I'm thorough, so it evens out.
I did start a few games only to put them on the backburner soon thereafter, namely Age 2 HD, Dark Souls and FEAR's first expansion pack.
I had the same thought, but even though there's a fair amount of content on offer (surprisingly so), 0.25 seems more fair considering how it compares to what the game proper offers.
I think I "finished" even less. I rarely see a game through to the end. I play a lot of different games though.
Takes a pretty good hook to keep me going.
I personally have no idea how many games I finished, I know I finished 2 or 3 in the last few weeks of the year.
If I had to guess probably somwhere between 20 and 50.
I should probably take part of that backlog thread to keep track of this, but I'm not too eager to have a negative score every single year.

JaseC, since you 100% AssCreed3, let me ask you - I like the collectible aspect of the games and have enjoyed AC2/Bro (with exception of storyline missions, which can go fuck themselves with a rusty crowbar). Still have ACRev to do, should I get AC3 when it's 75% off, or do I wait for base price reduction?
If collecting things is a sufficient hook then I'd definitely say it's worth snapping up when discounted. If nothing else it'll be on sale come Ubi's week-long publisher sale (typically May but last year it was held in March).
