What is this?
US law requires that Valve obtain tax details from US residents once they hit 200 listings. If you're not in the US then you just "sign" a form declaring as much and you're never bothered again, unless you purchased from the US store back when it easy to do so, in which case you need to provide Valve with proof of international residency before the restriction can be lifted.

You need to if you want to continue selling. And the earlier you do it, the better in case they need more info.

Yeah, now that you mentioned is I've checked and over 100 games and points have disappeared.
So, I just started playing CS:GO and it's not bad, not bad at all.
I tried some stuff around and up until now I've got only one question to ask:
why I always see people uploading super cool killcam screens with skewed writings and the guy who killed you in super heroic poses and stuff, while I just saw very bland screens?
Should I activate something to make my constant dying at least a little bit cool?
Yup wow I'm back under 500. I've even lost the badge.

I see, I don't care that much for operation coins though, because you can only wear one at a time.
No problems for me. (non-us).
I heard that those who used fake us address before got problems, due to form not letting them give non-us address.

Kinda regretted not getting Jazzpunk when it was on sale, do I need to do anything to buy from steam store while traveling? Or I just use it like I normally do?
The people who had trouble are international users who'd purchased from the US store when it was easy to do so as if you have such a transaction on record yet declare you're not a US resident for tax purposes, a red flag is set off. In these cases users are required to submit proof of international residency to Valve before the limit is lifted.
I finished Syberia 2 last night, I quite like the ending to it because I thought it would end with a cliffhanger, but it actually has kind of a closure to the journey at least for Hans.
For me it feels like most of the game is nothing but fillers, there are barely any location that are interesting other than the underground place and a little from the first town, you don't really find anything new in some of the locations you stopped by, and there are also not a lot of interesting characters, the entire game is dragging Hans's ass to the destination.
The first game was a lot more interesting since every location has some interesting characters telling you the history and you slowly learn more about the Voralberg family and Hans, then you find out about the research on Syberia and through out the game you watch a little interaction with Kate and her family and friends over the phone and watched her life change as her character develops.
Syberia 2 is a pleasant game to go through but I'm not really sure if I'm that enthusiastic for a sequel. (will still play of course)

That's high enough to get free cards from those steam sale events!
yea i get what you mean
i'm not the type to really put in the hours to master this kind of game, tho, so maybe i'll skip until really cheap
good to know there's some fun to be had with it tho
With the newest update that came few days ago.
Yesterday if you use the stable release, a week ago if you use the beta.

Might have been covered already but is anyone else from the UK not able to access any of the new Ubisoft game pages? (The Crew, Far Cry, etc) I remember being on The Crew page the day it went up.
This always happens with retail Ubisoft games. They'll be available in due time, before release.

Just I remember being on The Crew page but now you say that I seem to remember it happening before. Cheers!.

Where did you read they just "enhanced" them? By looking at the website mentioned by Dr Dogg the picture quality is way sharper than the GC's output... not something that could be done with simple interpolation...
Yup, this was my understanding too. Considering Chris and Jill move rather slowly, my bet is that the camera pan won't be too distracting.
I really don't understand why they don't (didn't) properly back up data for pre-rendered games. I mean... we could have had FFVII through IX, Myst (Riven/Exile/Revelation) and other games with a nice level of detail without the devs having to put much effort into it.
If I were a game developer I'd keep ultra high definition textures somewhere safe and release them like 5-10 years later or something, when technology has adapted. I mean... even if the released game is 40GB... I guess it wouldn't be that hard to keep 2-3TB of uncompressed data. Even multiple copies.
Japanese publishers have always had a lack of foresight.
Even now, the Japanese publishers are just now reacting to the mobile explosion, flailing around trying to scrape up a profit.
Admittedly, storage was much more expensive in the past, but that is hardly an excuse. Those are assets that the company spent millions developing.

Exactly.
An despite what some companies say (e.g., Id about Rage's textures) there's no way some textures were made at the resolution we saw them... it seems bizarre to pay for something and then basically throw away half of your money.
Man, now you reminded me this thread.
All those assets thrown away... Makes me so sad. Imagine a remake with those backgrounds.
Thats all I care about. Free money.

When you get past all the lies Molyneux made for Fable, I still say its a good action RPG even if its basic. Though the series definitely has never been that high quality wise and it does kind of surprise me it still does so well. Still disappointed that the next game legends isn't even a real fable game. Between that Journey and the changes each game has, the series doesn't know what it wants to be.
oh man, had a terrible night. Five hours of sleep, stomach aches and acid reflux were too much. Woke up too early and I'll probably behave like a zombie during the afternoon.
At least the Manchester United - Swansea result made my morning brighter. #BringBackMoyes #VanGaalOut #MoyesIn #TheChosenOne

Then you might like this:
No More Room in Hell
Magicka: Wizard Wars
War of the Roses
Each now give free drops when added to account. (like Defiance)
I think this is side effect of conversion to this 'add to account' system.
If you can, it's likely better to wait Winter Sale and craft these sets instead of selling.

Interesting, but I don't know if I want to add games I'm never gonna play to my account. I know it doesn't really hurt or anything, but eh.
Thanks for the info though. Might change my mind later on if I find something I really want.
Speaking of stuff I might want, is Total War Rome 2 a good buy at £10? I heard it had problems.

It's hilarious how some people on this site have an itch against MP games. So what if Evolve wins some meaningless show awards? "Manufactured hype"...yeah. But of course if it would be Bloodborne, the next Naughty Dog game, The Order, genericUbisoftgame#799 or any other mostly SP focused game, then it would be cool and not manufactured, right?
9 years and 16, but who cares. All it means is that you've crafted a bunch of badges. There are plenty of people who don't care about that. I'd hazard a guess that the vast majority of people don't care about that.
You should be happy you're not one of the weird rich people who obsessively craft badges (normal and foil) up to max level for every single game ever released on Steam.

Dunno, I think I'd like being rich for a change =p
If you missed the Max Payne sale, Max Payne 3 is 5$ on Amazon
Thanks for the tip. Free cards is the best cards.
What is this?
I gave in and gave Steam my social security #... Better not regret that, Valve!
Considering more half of the panellists for the Gamescom awards are journalists from some sites/outlets some people on GAF like to criticise I'm surprised they get the attention that they do. But hey go look at the vast majority of review threads on here and there will be some dismay due to a certain outlet not scoring a game to the arbitrary score someone has in their head attributed to a game they have never even played yet.
I haven't really been following Evolve's development so not been caught up in the buzz but being multiplayer focused it will be interesting to see how the community will shape up around this.
Sure, I'd like to be a rich person... who doesn't obsessively craft every Steam badge up to max level.

One more game with all the achievements get! The majority of the achievements were pretty easy, if you interact with everything in the game you will get all of them.
Edit:
Is the Marvel Heroes 2015 a good game?

Marvel Hereos is mindless fun, which is sometimes exactly what one needs.
Edit: Ha-ha, I just realised that I've spent about $39.98 on MH, but Steam only tracks 1/4 of it, locking me out of three precious cards.
Bummer.
