Yes, on our way to two teams
I know you all want to play with me, don't fight please, any redheads get a seat on Team A with me, there's still time to dye yourselves.

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.
Even more shocking is that Microsoft have yet to update their standard .NET Web Browser control to force a document standard other than IE7. And to get it to do anything differently, looks like I'm resorting to modifying the user registry (ugh)
Yeah, it seems that the information about the codes expiring was incorrect. It just meant that NVIDIA wouldn't send any more codes to retailers, not that it stopped working.

I'm in, if there is space.This Friday we are playing Killing Floor 2 on Euro game night, murricans are welcome too.
It only has up to 6 player coop so seats will be limited, but I'm not sure how many people will actually have the game.

Well, yeah, I figured as much but all the people in the BST thread are asking around $20 or so.
Crimzon Clover is one of the best Shmups ever made imo, so get it if you like the genre
Indeed. I mean, I'm not big in the genre, but it's the only one I have largely enjoyed out of the ones I have tried on steam,
Though that would probably change whenever I check out Ikaruga. Apparently it's great.
Touhou on steam when?

You are a redhead, you don't even need to ask.
There's plenty of space, will do two or three teams depending how many people joins.
maybe BernadoOne can hook you a trader that sells for $8

The stupid part is that, even if the nvidia codes had an expiration date, unless it's very different than AMD, I don't know why they just wouldn't redeem the nvidia code to get a batman ak steam key and keep those -- those should be good forever. Then just sell the steam key directly instead of selling people the code to redeem for a key.
I can't remember how the process worked for AK back in may though, so it might just not be possible... but I do remember getting a bunch of codes from the AMD promo and giving them away here after I parted them up for 3 games each.
But ES isn't dead. It's still working like a champ for me. :3

Just watched it. That is so cool! You can now play all your 3DS games on your monitor or even the big screen. So nice.
250 bucks to get one's 3DS is pretty hefty, I agree with you. But hey, I am happy you did it
Gives me a chance to see some 3DS reviews of you.Another slightly off-topic question. I only ever used a DS-Lite once and it felt not very well ergonomically. Buttons and Dpad were tiny and generally holding it in my two hands felt not good. Worst were the shoulder buttons. How does a 3DS XL fare in that part?
SteamGAF, halp!
I put my new 970 into mobo, put up 8 pin PCI-Express power cord (in correct orientation).
Booting the computer, both CPU and GPU fans spin, but it hangs on the BIOS screen.
Switched back to 750 TI, no problem - so I didn't fry anything, luckily.
The card is getting juice from PSU, since the fans spin.
Question - is it getting enough juice? I have 430W PSU, which should be enough to drive the card (according to Gigabyte 400W minimum when coupled with i7).
Or is this a mobo issue? Should I try upgrading BIOS, or would new PSU be a better choice here?
Gigabyte B75M-D3V mobo, Gigabyte 970 MiniITX, Corsair CX430M.
Tried both the PSU 8-pin connecter and the one supplied with the card (2 molex->8 pin), no dice.
Tried unplugging two HDDs, no dice.
Anyone have some idea?

It registers it directly to steam account, like Humble Bundle used to.

It's not a comfortable handheld.
I still don't like the construction on it -- all around, it feels cheap to me and for the life of me, I just cannot adapt to the circlepad.
Its different in NVIDIA case. You don't get Steam keys . the game gets directly redeem to your Steam account when you use the site, so traders can't just go redeem codes and hoard keys.

I'm not sure if that 400w figure is realistic. The 970 doesn't eat up a lot of power, but it's not a lightweight either. I'd say that's the problem.

Just switch to Chrome ES purposes, and use FF for everything else.
Interested in D4 but I'm hoping it goes down a bit more since a 25% discount isn't tempting enough.
Okay, thanks. I'm going to look at some reviews of them.
Just read the steam reviews of this game...All I can say is lol.

Eh. Another time I used a PSP once and it felt so good. Can only drool how good a Vita feels. But 3DS also looks fun + backwards compatibility is pretty swell. Hm, I am a fan of dual screen and clamshell design but (3)DS sure could be more ergonomic.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
The Vita is an extremely comfortable handheld. When I'm playing all the great games it has it's exactly like I'm holding nothing at all.

Oh man, sorry to hear you are having troubles.
Only thing I can think would be PSU power. 430W is a bit on the low side even though it should be enough "technically". Did you try to unplug all non-essential stuff from your MOBO; DVD-Drive etc?
Other than that, try plugging your monitor to your integrated MOBO video output (while having your 970 plugged in). Boot into Windows and make a clean install of Nvidia drivers. Restart and plug monitor to your 970.
Good luck!

Speaking of Vita, here's one Vita game I'd like to see on Steam, seeing as we get a lot of Vita ports anyways :V
Framerate is atrocious at various parts of the game, but it plays like Valkyria Chronicles somewhat, so playing it with a better framerate would make the experience better.
Would also be a good chance for Furyu to start on Steam if they haven't already
corrosivefrost

I'd agree.
430w sounds really low end for a system trying to use a 970.
When I spec'ed out my system, I didn't even look at power supplies lower than like 700w just to make sure I'd have enough power to run everything and that was for a 770.
Then again, I tend to try to future proof as much as possible when upgrading and parting out (and this is why I haven't gotten a 900 series nvidia yet due to none of the cards having what I consider enough VRAM after my current experience with the 2gb 770).... so 700w might be overkill, but it might be time to look into a power supply upgrade.
Know anyone with a beefier PSU that you could borrow to see if it fixes the issue?
Just like redheads. -___-;

It absolutely is, a normal system with a 970 under load doesn't come close to 400w and boot up should be no problem at all. http://www.anandtech.com/show/8568/the-geforce-gtx-970-review-feat-evga/15 The PSU could still be the issue of course and on its last legs or something.
Thanks for sparing me googling it myself.

The Vita is so comfortable that between gaming sessions I can keep it in my pocket for hours, days, months, years at a time and not even notice it's there.

It's pretty similar ergonomically, not as edgy. If you were prone to getting cramped hands before, you'll probably still get it. I just pushed past that pain and now I don't experience it anymore.

You can try clearing your CMOS after installing the 970. Pull the plug on the PSU and then take out the battery (coin cell) on the motherboard. Count to 15 and put the battery back in and try to power it up.

Man morningbus, you are about to make a Vita-Boy out of me.

That too, the Vita's battery is fantastic. you could press the PS Button to 'pause' a game, leave it for like a week and then come back to see it still has like 50% charge left.
So... For some reason, my Win 7 key stopped working/Got banned a few weeks ago after reinstalling Win7. Its an OEM key that i bought in a shady computer store years ago, probably has something to do with that.
Now, since i wanted to upgrade to WinX this weekend, where can i get a cheap Win 7 Home Premium key?

Is there a reason why Steam updates the "Last Played" to today whenever you install a game? Mildly annoying.

I like my Vita as much as any regular SteamGaffer, but I strongly disagree on the battery life being "fantastic". It's actually worse than my N3DS, which is also quite bad.
Man I miss the battery life of GBA and DS
