Spoiler tags, people, spoiler tags - they exist for a reason.
Just bought Ride To Hell...I really need to stop
It would be an insult not to play it at this point.

I just installed the GOG version the other day and noticed the more you turn your AA up, the more mouse lag you get. Ended up uninstalling it rather than playing with low AA.
We've been speculating, but now we have total confirmation that Ms. Splosion Man is removing GFWL.
They just added a depot titled 'gfwl' to the app a few minutes ago. Hopefully they are getting close.
They also have Steam Achievements
Where do you get the achievement data from? Unless I'm missing something SteamDB doesn't offer it, and the site that leaked achievements last year for a bunch of games is no longer up.
You can actually easily force AA through GPU drivers on both Nvidia and AMD hardware. There are other options as well such as downsampling or DX injectors such as SweetFX.
Bottom line, you should never have to worry about that issue.
Especially when you are talking about one of the best games of all time in Butcher Bay.

I decided to format my computer last night, not realising that i can't use the Marketplace for a week.
God damn it. I'm on the verge of level 20 too!

I actually tried forcing AA through nvidia inspector but couldn't find a compatibility code that worked. Guess I should look into this downsampling business.
You don't actually have to set compatibility codes for AA. If you notice from the drop down menu there are only a few games available, its probably only for when certain games aren't compatible out of the box.

You'll be happy to hear that the broken achievements were removed last month. Would be better if they were made to work but I'll take this solution.
There is no crane.
Same thing happened to me
I also had difficulty selling them, they're probably very commonRiddick is actually available on Gamefly as well, no indication on whether it activates on Steam or not.

...And good games are getting knocked off the new releases page.
If Valve is going to continually allow this garbage to flood their service then they need to allow for better sorting options now.

El Matador is hitting my wishlist.
Experience the adrenaline-fuelled danger and heart-pounding excitement in the war on organised drug syndicates. When standard procedures fail, the hardliners are brought in.
Become El Matador, a DEA special agent tasked with taking down the drug barons. A new narcotics cartel is rising across Central and South America, sharpening its claws and extending its reach. Locate the encampments, infiltrate the headquarters, and put an end to the cartel's influence. In a tale of corruption, revenge and morality, the mission brief is simple: Eliminate the threat - Ultimate justice, El Matador style.

El Matador? Blast from the past, one of those games you forgot exist the day after finishing them but now thinking about it I might have had some fun with that.

There's like no way you can tell what that is until the end of the game and even then it'll still be out of nowhere. Trust me on this.

I've heard they do.
Besides, their techs post in this thread.
Is an extra $2 in credit worth getting banned from the program? Your call, I guess.
How do I find out if I've downloaded the update or not?
Start New Game, if you see an option to enable/disable new content, you have the update.

Go to the downloads section in Steam and you will see what was last downloaded.

FTL update is pretty meaty AND it upgrades every aspect of the game. AWESOME

listen to the mad man
Sorry about that; 24 hour hour raffles are tricky. Modbot does his best to find the original post but sometimes isn't able to (this is not a problem shorter raffles or normal giveaways have). I can manually point Modbot to a 24 hour raffle to help prevent that problem from occurring, but I was traveling all yesterday so I didn't catch yours.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Filtering these out is available in Enhanced Steam for Chrome at the moment. The feature is still a bit of a "work in progress" as I'm trying to convince Valve to put the game's "actual" release date into the API to speed the process up.
Additionally, I asked them if they had seen the TotalBiscuit video from a few weeks ago (which asked Valve to add this type of filtering). Blank stares all around, nobody had seen it or heard anything about it.
A fellow GAFer and I have have been working on a Safari version. However, Safari extensions don't support "Cross Domain Scripting" which makes adding or porting features from the other versions very difficult.

When Greenlight was first released, I was very eager to browse through the submissions and find games I was interested in. As time wore on, as the average submission's quality began to flatline I grew tired of perusing Greenlight; eventually, I stopped visiting it altogether.
Now I face a similar problem: the Steam store is becoming akin to Greenlight. The mass of dreadful submissions released every day weakens my desire to visit the store and browse through the games. I used to be eager to see what was on sale, what had been updated, and what was going to be released but now I find myself less and less interested in visiting any Steam site at all. There's nothing good or interesting released and finding or browsing through games/DLC/etc has become a chore.
What I'm saying is, unless you change your ways I'm going to break up with you, Steam.

I guess it is possible that they don't follow him on youtube, but that was a great piece of constructive criticism.
Jim Sterling echoed similar criticisms about a week later in one of his videos.

Steam just needs to organize games better.
I'd love for this to happen. I played the beginning on a friend's PS3 and loved it. In fact, I refuse to play TD2 because I want to finish the first one before.Speaking of Starbreeze, there's no chance for a Darkness 1 PC version huh?

I honestly think that's why Valve needs me. I love interacting with Steam users, finding out what issues they have with the platform, and doing my best to put fixes and UI changes in place to facilitate these pain points.
The fact that nobody currently working on Steam is doing this exposes a critical flaw in their way of doing things. Nobody knows your platform better than the people that are using it every day.

Uncurated store. Welcome to hell.
God dammit Shackles, you just need to sit down in an interview.
'What do you bring to this company?'
'Everything you are currently weak at as a company are tasks that I not only enjoy, but excel at. From fixing the Steam client, the piece that users interact with at all times, and interfacing with the community to find out their issues with the company as a whole.'
'Ok...What are your salary requirements?'
This one: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/8974-Buyer-Beware
$23.99 (-20%) / $71.99 for a 4-pack.
Damn.
AOE II HD launched at $20 base price.
Whatever price it takes to get Halo Trilogy, Viva Pinata, and Gears on Steam.
