You can get knock off batteries for really cheap. OEM stuff is a rip-off. My ASUS lappy is a rock.

Civ V does and is meant to be pretty good just using touch. Obviously resolution and other high graphics setting will have to be reigned in. I'd imagine quite a lot of mouse based games would be good as well. I've been toying with the idea of getting a Pro 2 when the Pro 3's come out over here as the prices are still a bit too steep for my tastes. Ideally though I'd use it as a streamer and let my main. PC do the leg work but I'd imagine easy to run stuff like UE3 games, Source Engine games and Dead Space would work quite well natively.
If you do go for one check out the Wacom Feel Drivers as they add decent pressure sensitivity to the digitiser (or stylus to most people) and offer better calibration than the standard Microsoft drivers and utils.
Ironically, despite it being the first avatar I made, it wasn't the first I used.

That is disconcerting, but reviewers always say that the build quality is good. I like MSI better because it isn't as expensive.
Second best Saoirse avy. I had a dream about Saoirse the other day...

A few look decent
I recall Friendship Club from a Groupees Bundle.. maybe BAGB #8?
Maybe one of the solutions posted here could help?
Edit: According to that thread, the issue is known and being worked on by Telltale, so if nothing works you could just wait it out =/.

Solstice made it through, awwwwww yeah.
I recognize Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet, Roommates, and Bionic Heart 2. The latter two are Winter Wolves VNs, and I think at this point my sentiments regarding them are known.
I'll look through the batch more thoroughly later.

Saw isn't too bad of a game. Played it on PS3 awhile back. Had fun with it despite how janky it was sometimes. Its biggest problem is that it gets repetitive for a torture house and never really gets into dark material like it should.
Winter Wolves is AAA content every steam gaffer should play right.

Ummm... is your x360 controller plugged in?
Dammit. That's a game I'm waiting for to come out of early access for several reasons.
You... ask him?
You have to curry his favor first.
Good luck with that.
What, huh, why... domo-kun?!

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking about picking up a Pro 3 this weekend and thought about playing FTL on it when I'm in bed or whatever. After looking it up, it turns out FTL is very doable, but takes some tweaking. Steam needs a section or a tag for this. I'll check out the Wacom drivers if I get one.
I have a bridge to sell anyone who genuinely believes Telltale will fix it. We're talking about a studio that over the course of more than half a decade never patched the bug that sees its games refuse to run if a controller is plugged in and present.

I backed Nelly Cootalot on kickstarter. That's pretty damn quick for it to get greenlit. Was only put up on July 18th.
"We hope to have a resolution soon" is TellTale speak for "Fuck it, enough people can run the game just fine."
Is there a thread that's from? I modded Skyrim to hell and back, but NV randomly crashes on me seemingly with completely safe mods, so I'd love to have some help fixing it so I can play it
Like, I have a few UI mods and it either locks up every so many loading screens or just craps out randomly in the world. Compared to skyrim where I have high-res textures for like everything, lighting changes, skill changes, new gear, etc. and it works fine

Dusk i want a review.
you love these horror games, duder. i know you'll do it anyhow. congrats!
Schein looked decent enough for GOG to carry it.
Out There seems like a good FTL-like, had a good write up @ RPS.

That's universal in the gaming industry.
oh wow thank you jasec
wasn't this game removed from steam?
It was removed in 2012, but for some reason Konami licensed the Saw IP again last year, circa the Halloween Sale, and so the game's been available since. At first I figured Konami was going to finish up the internal PC port of Saw 2, but the listing is as dead as ever... which just makes the situation all the more intriguing -- I mean, we're closing in on a year since Konami renewed the licence and yet nobody knows why it did so.
Is there any existing PC game that its owners able and want to put on Steam but it isn't still? If the answer is 'no' then shut down Greenlight and switch to the store-as-API phase.
No point in voting on incomplete games years away from release. When those games are ready just put them up for sale.

Saws getting a reboot. Perhaps a new game as well?
This is what Valve is cooking. The ETA back during Steam Dev Days was late this year/early next, but, you know, Valve Time.
weird indeed, maybe they're developing something but keeping it quiet
i guess time will tell

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.
What surprises me about the latest Greenlight batch is the lack of "vote to get a free key" games
. I guess that tactic is so overused now that it doesn't have the same pull that it used to. Either that or Valve is wising up to these shenanigans.
(or maybe there are some here I've just missed?)
They should shut Greenlight down right now if there's nothing that is already ready to release. By the time most of the games that are on Greenlight finish development, Valve would have moved to a phase that wouldn't have required them to go through GL.

Quiet you. I bought Gurumin on PSN already. I want my free copy on Steam.
This would make sense as Lionsgate is hoping to have Saw VIII in theatres come Spring 2015, but, well, the first two games didn't exactly set sales charts on fire, so if Konami has been contracted to make a tie-in, I'd have to question the logic there.

You're getting a bit ahead of yourself especially with valve time being part of the mix. Game releases vary just like anything else. Just like valve changing to a new system is going to take some time. More than possible these games you're saying that take too long can be out on steam before a change in systems is placed.
I've recently played the first two Blackwell games. They are really short and rather on the easy side, but I'm enjoying the atmosphere and the characters a lot. I hope the following games in the series are a bit harder though.
Can recommend them so far if anyone is in the mood for a short (~2-3h) PnC!
Do you like my new hair?

Hey! Pretty sure I commented on your post on the steam site about sending out the keys. Didn't know you were a GAFer too. Did you get your key OK?
EDIT: Yeah, it was you. http://steamcommunity.com/app/314570/discussions/0/35219681472291539//

If anyone deserves to win something horror related, it's Dusk Golem
Briefly looked at Out There, looks pretty decent. Might have to keep an eye on it. Will look at Schein later.
I just realized that Gurumin wasn't in this batch, Valve might actually be doing something about that!
The sad part is that Gurumin is actually supposed to be good though, it's a shame that the devs/publisher went down that path in the first place

Might have renewed the license just for mobile fare. Only thing I can think of.
You... ask him?
An intriguing concept!
