Steam reviews are really positive for it

That one certainly hurt my brain and I can't disagree with the rest you wrote.
The demo (available on Steam) felt a tad janky but the user reviews are mostly positive and if you want motocross the choices are limited.

Well it is horrible.
I heard Speedrunners is great.

Same here. GFWL is like walking through a shit storm. Wasn't a big fan of the game anyways. Maybe I'll give it another chance if/when Steamworks is there. Won't buy DS II for some time though.
GFWL is a nightmare. It never knows if it wants to sign me in or not. I had it working and then went back several months later to check something in Dark Souls and I couldn't get signed in -- so it wouldn't let me save. That's when I dropped the game permanently and said "if they ever port it to steamworks, I'll replay it." Originally, I would've been all about the double platinum, but dealing with GFWL and some of the prospects of having to try to lower the faith req for the one covenant were just too much.
I've never really had a problem with Origin -- the little I've used it.
I can't say I've had issues with Uplay yet either.

I'm not entirely certain why but I had 76% off of Dragon Commander, perhaps because I own the other Divinity games? Whatever the reason, I bought it.
I know how you guys like to get removed games on your account. So I decided to give you all* the chance to get one of those. This is not available anymore on the Steam store, at least until GFWL is removed (if ever). This is a racing game with an explorable overworld. This is incredibly big. This is Fuel.
*: by "all" I mean everyone who has given away at least one game through ModBot and isn't known to be an abuser

Just spent the best part of an hour collecting Steam keys from various places and entering them into a nice Google doc. Hopefully will put about 50 into a giveaway this weekend

What's up with MXGP all of the sudden?
Good enough for me, never played a motocross game before but I tend to enjoy racing games that aren't trying to be simulators.
Thanks for the heads up and the info!
I've been doing this for a few months now, though I haven't reached 50.

Hell yeah to Below coming to Steam. Also excited to see Jim Guthrie is doing the music, I'm pretty fond of Superbrothers mostly thanks to his work.
I asked about this Playfire thing earlier and now I'm home and would like to set it up. I installed the Playfire Vulcan thing, but I'm not sure that I actually need that. Do I just play my Steam games like normal and check to see if I'm meeting some achievements on the Playfire site? That simple?

This posts exemplifies my high standards of decision for game purchases.
The sad thing is that it's an improvement over my previous standards.
I didn't install anything and it still works, didn't get any acheivements unlocked in their site for a few weeks so I thought it wasn't working, but a few weeks later they updated my profile with the acheivements I had unlocked since the creation of the profile.

There is a legitimate discussion to be had on the problems of Steam regarding their recent downtime spree or missing features etc. What I don't get is loudly complaining about a 5 year old game having 10gb of new content and fixes and Valve assuming that the latest version is also the best experience. And especially when games come out these days which aren't even functional until a day one patch is applied. Is it Steam's fault then too that people can't 'play off their disc' so to speak?
Mandatory patching is just how Steam works. And all it requires is a little patience. It's not dismissive to suggest that people turn to consoles if they simply must play the game immediately. If someone feels that the benefits of playing on PC are outweighed by the convenience of playing on consoles, more power to them.

hmm why is bundlestars charging $5.99 for the EU3 Complete Bundle now
their email said $4.99
Odd. It's showing up as $4.99 for me.
As far as I know, yes. Like dani said, I didn't install anything either and the same happened for me. Just make sure to check the blog posts occasionally to see which rewards you can fulfill.
I'm not sure. I'm pretty awful at math, but wouldn't the necessary sales tax rate to get a whole dollar at that price be 20%? That's double the highest rate I know of in the US.

Maybe they add local taxes?

Thanks! In for one!
The one I got is either Dust, Guacamelee, Fez or The Swapper, but I already got all those. Going to relist it tomorrow if Knurek doesn't do it first

I wish I had that level of self control. I have no idea what I just bought.
Third time is the charm
You'd think that these devs would have better ways to reach Valve in matters like this.
There's not much to it and performance is terrible. I'd give it another few months at the least.
The interesting thing to note is that this will be EA's first SteamPlay title (excluding a couple of EA Partners titles).
Bah, I would have been able to get a copy for myself if I hadn't read through the thread first (it's unavailable now).

It has lots of thumbs down on steam with people saying it is bugged out, thus not as good as the original which actually works.
Devs are not the ones doing this...

You guys were right. The Anor Londo archers fucking suck.

hmm?
As you can see by my previous post, my level of self-control is just slightly above "buying anything"... Well it at least stops me from buying anything that's discounted regardless of what it is.

A post (now deleted) from one of the Dino D-Day devs gave the impression that it wasn't them that made the name change.

I didn't expect them to react this quickly in the middle of the night. Or key resellers started to buy in mass and security measures kicked in. Should've grabbed a few more myself for those interested here.
I wonder if somebody sniffed out log-in info and has been using the registry to make a point.
I'm surprised the only thing they have messed with is the names of the games.
