Yeah, although I haven't tried it out myself as I don't own a controller or anyway a controller working on Steam, by the way the controls are only left, right, jump and action keys, so it's easy to play it even only with just a keyboard; keyboard controls are more responsive - that is no lag - than other platform games I have played on Steam.

FellowGAF,
In prep for the livestream of the Eternity beta on Monday, I am going to try out Steam Streaming. I will stream a game.
What game shall it be?

Just got mine and the code activated without any issues, but it's not appearing on my game list. Is that normal?
Mm, I always open them hoping for foils. Much more fun that way than selling the pack.

I really liked Electronic Super Joy, but damn were those moans annoying. Especially considering how much you die, or at least how much I died.
Yeah it doesn't show in mine either. Most likely it's because the game hasn't been released yet. Check back tomorrow.

Aside from titanfall PC probably being dead is higher levels fucking about in there a big problem like on Xbox one. There were max level dudes just going to town. Game didn't even separate by level so it was completely stacked. Was having fun two until the level unbalanced showed me the games true colors.
Especially those smart guns that can lock faster . Seriously wth.
Can't wait for arena shooters to come back.
That way if I suck its all my fault.

Or maybe in a few minutes; the same thing happened to me just a few days ago when I activated Viscera Santa's rampage.
It was not in my game library although it said that I owned the game, I checked several times and then it was there out of the blue.

Gun? Did they add new weapons?
Happy b'day. I was just thinking 'damn that's an expensive birthday present to buy for yourself' but notice the price has dropped off a lot on GalCiv III.
What's the EU price? 50? So £40, for a PC game? Hahahaha oh Ubisoft. They are one of the few publishers that have stuff all the time on Amazon.co.uk's download service and even the prices there are cheaper than the Steam equivalent, sometimes the same cost as physical copies so there really is a premium cost for a Steam copy day one. Of course that's if they don't get yanked from the store to purchase until just before release or just after due to some unknown reason and totally not GAME having a retailer exclusive edition or promo running at the same time or anything.

Whatever that pistol that locks on is.
I know it has a perk or something that lets it tag even faster .
Yeah it's still a bit high for my liking, but Stardock were champs to me earlier in the year when their customer service gave me a Steam key for my old retail copy of GalCiv2:UE because I was having trouble with the bullshit Gamestop downloader, so I thought I'd repay the favour and get in on GalCivIII early.
Looks interesting, if anything it got my vote.

Oh hey, I remember that game. It's absolutely terrible.
No really, it's a pretty bad, cheaply made, generic on rails shooter. Makes sense that they're giving it away for free. Barely anyone's going to actually play it, of course, everyone who voted for it only wanted the +1 to their Steam account. Such a bullshit tactic to have games make it through Greenlight to be sold on Steam.

Quoting myself, but the Groove City DLC got added to my account too as a separate installation. Did I actually get that for free, or is it automatically added in case I decide to buy it later? Would be awesome if this is some kind of secret bonus from the Humble Store.
EDIT: NEVER MIND! I must have gotten Groove City in a bundle somewhere.
EDIT AGAIN: Firestorm Bundle from Bundlestars.com

Played a bit more tomb raider after work. Really liking the game. Great presentation, fun, even if on rails, exploration (probably due to how gorgeous the game is). Animation seems pretty great so far and the voice acting is superb.
Combat is ok, and the little mini tomb I explored was a fun diversion.

I just got prompted for a Steam Client update, so I thought about backing up the textures of the actual client before updating because I like the way the client looks now and I dislike how it's gonna look after the update.
Is copying away the Graphics directory enough, or is there some other elements worth to back up if I want to reinstate the old Steam look in the future?

One thing that was changed was to make it clear once and for all that you CANNOT opt out of automatic updates. I've been wishing you could for years, but now you get this:
Why DOESN'T Valve at least give people the option? I know they can, because for a brief while it was even working. You even got a nice popup asking you whether you wanted to play without updating, or immediately update. Is it based on a game setting developers don't use?

I always played it while my family was around. As long as there's no actual porn on screen, no problem.Gosh, I have just come to think that if I played ESJ loud with speakers on some neighbours may think I'm watching some porn

I'm pretty sure you can turn the moaning off. Go into options and turn on PG mode.
There was also quantitatively more of it, man. I can say that as someone who went into NV specifically looking for that stuff after FO3 and coming up disappointed. And what was present in 3 painted a more believable picture of a world than the stuff in NV, IMO. A good example of how I felt NV fumbles this is
the computer records you find at the H&H Tools Factory. There is no way that someone that obviously batshit insane could possibly have been running a company as described in those logs.
You had some of that in NV, sure, but it wasn't developed nearly to the extent that you saw in FO3. Whether it was government buildings, museums, old laboratories, military installations, or what have you, there was so much interesting stuff to unearth about the past if you were willing to explore.
Which is funny, because I had similar complaints about things like the Legion (Road Warrior-esque Roman cosplayers were kind of hard for me to take seriously as villains), the Jetsons reject-looking Securitrons with their television "faces" (just compare the design of those with any of the 'bots from Fallout 3 - they don't feel like something anyone would actually have built), the lead scientist at the Helios One facility
--okay, it's cute that he's an incompetent "scientist" who calls himself "Fantastic", but he's portrayed as so incompetent that it stopped being funny and turned immersion-breaking - nobody would put this guy on a research project after talking to him for more than five minutes)
(Ghouls in spaaaaaace!)
Moody exploration giving way to a battle with a big boss that you have to take down with a tac nuke launcher? I'm good with that. It felt suitably epic in context, and it didn't skew the game into the realm of the absurd for me. As far as "lore-breaking bullshit" goes, looks like we have different levels of tolerance for that sort of thing. I felt that where Bethesda did things a little differently
(their take on supermutants, Elder Lyons' splinter faction of the Brotherhood, etc.)
The stuff like the non-supernatural "vampires" and people worshipping an undetonated nuke were also explained to my satisfaction - it's not hard to believe you'd have fringe folks like this in a post-apocalyptic, post-technological setting).
It looks like we have different criteria for what we consider silly or stupid, since I see dumb things where you don't and vice versa. I also think part of it is that I don't put the original Fallout games on a pedestal - though I enjoyed them when I played them, I didn't think they were perfect even then. FO3 ditched some things about the franchise that I liked the originals in spite of, rather than because of, while expanding on the elements I did like.
I don't want to make it sound like New Vegas is bad (it's not!), but as I said before, it's definitely a different kind of game. It's a game about characters doing things in the here-and-now. Those characters are well-written and interesting. The world they occupy felt more like a stage set than a place to me, though - it provides a backdrop for the story, but that's about it. In FO3, the NPC's are admittedly not as deep or nuanced, but the world is a character in its own right, and getting to know it is a big part of the fun. It's worth recommending regardless of your feelings on NV, and depending on what kind of experience somebody enjoys, they may end up liking 3 better than NV. So I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you whenever this particular topic comes up. ; )
(Apologies to anyone who I might have accidentally hit with that giant wall of text. >.> )

Steam streaming gives you the ability to play games from other places in your house (TV, other computers, tablets). If you want to live stream, grab Open Broadcaster Software. It's open source and pretty easy to use.

Set up an account over at Twitch.tv or Hitbox.tv and check out the quick start guide.

It's also great to just record videos of your games to edit and upload to youtube later, for example.

OBS or Shadowplay if you have an Nvidia card.
Unless OBS fixed Nvenc not working when you're on the latest drivers, in which case just OBS.
