STEAM | August II 2014 - Kept you waiting, huh?

WOAH, 59.99? Really 2K? You've usually charged 30 for the series on PC now they are going for full price. Was it this much last year, I ended up getting it for PS4 so I wouldn't know.
Like Beyond Earth, I'm getting £29.99 for that too, with a 25% saving. The region-compare thing isn't working at the moment though so I don't know if that's another win for UK.
It wouldn't be against TOS if you were a light sleeper and your robot alerted you to price glitches with a buy/decline prompt, though.
Then again, if you were to do this, wouldn't you just set up a robot account to launder the money back to you anyway?
wow! another one
man this is crazy....
be careful gaffers
STEAM | September 2014 - dude,i have steam lagg
I'm looking at my Idle Master money and I'm looking at cheap Borderlands 1.5. I don't want to waste my rainy day fund on something that will probably rain on my day
Edit: Although Unearthed has pretty much paid for itself with the card drops.
Just got to sell the blighter now.

So I have a Steam organization question for SteamGAF.
I've been using multiple categories and everything is working well. However, I need some opinions on non-steam emulator games.
Example: I have Ultra Street Fighter IV under the category "fighting". I currently have all of my Dreamcast games under a "Dreamcast" category of course.
Should I add Dead or Alive 2 (dreamcast) to my main "fighting" category (alongside USFIV and the like) or keep it separate and create something like "Dreamcast - Fighting"?

This is one of the main reasons I'm playing it solo too. When I played Borderlands 1 in a group, people usually rushed through, and I like to explore/read/listen even if it's not the best writing in the world. Different tastes and all that.
Yeah, that's pretty much my situation.
I tried it with pubs and was immediately turned off. I'm more of a Lone Wolf gamer anyway, unless you're talking asynchronous Leaderboard chasing as found in games like SSX, Forza, Trials, etc.
how are they trying too hard?
ROFL!

Depends how large the Dreamcast Category is. If its pretty large, separating by shmup/driving/fighting makes sense. But if its like 20 games, Id say just dump them all in one category.

we all have laggs lately, i have no pity for him
Lol the dumb excuses they always come up with to not being able to add someone are always entertaining.
It has co-op in RAID mode, which is sections of the campaign in a dungeon crawler kind of style, i.e. you level up and find loot to take on the harder stages and difficulties. It's awesome.
No campaign co-op though, which is very strange because you ALWAYS have an AI partner with you that does jack shit. They're invincible, at least.

I mean I could. I guess I don't want it to look too cluttered. Especially when you have games for Dreamcast, Gamecube, PS2, SNES, etc
Yeah, that makes sense. If Steam would just get it together and implement sub-categories, this wouldn't even be an issue.

A question for you good people:
I've got around $10 in card money atm.
I enjoyed Borderlands. (Don't judge me!
If I'd mainly be soloing, would it be worth it for me to pick up Borderlands 2 GOTY while it's on sale, or should I hold onto myIdle Masteredhard-earned gabens and put them toward something else?
If you liked the first Borderlands I gather you're going to like the second as well, and I encourage you to try it out yourself during this free weekend, by the way these days I've been playing The darkness II, that share some elements in common with Borderlands: the cel-shading graphic style, the darkish setting, the crude violence and gross language, I can feel some similarities.
The loot system - that I enjoy very much in Borderlands, searching for more powerful/effective weapons/shields is addicting - is not there, still if you have never played it you may give it a try, since these days you may find it for cheap.
Have it in two categories: Fighting and Dreamcast
if you go to dreamcast category it has all your dreamcast games
if you go to fighting category it has all your fighting games
boom
The download itself is only 8gb though.

Same. I still play at the gym every Tuesday and Thursday morning (still playing with a slight knee injury too).

Does anyone know if the Metro Redux 50% off will continue even after the game comes out, like Deus Ex HR DC did?

Yeah, that was option A. I'm pretty sure that's the one I prefer too.

Less than 15s was too slow this time.
You could search the Steam forum but I'm sure they said pre-order only.

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.
Updating Enhanced Steam to support this Japanese Yen pricing stuff is going slower than I would have liked.
Previously there wasn't anything that I'm aware of that was over $1,000 on Steam so I took a few shortcuts when dealing with international currencies - mainly that if it detected a comma it assumed that the currency used a comma as a decimal delimiter and automatically converted it to a period (since all of Javascript's number functions use US decimal notation).
So now there are things, most things in fact, on Steam that cost more than ¥ 1,000. Enhanced Steam is detecting the comma and converting it to a decimal point so ¥ 1,000 becomes ¥ 1.
Come to think of it, this could be why Freedom Cry had a price mistake.
I'm getting things updated but it might be tomorrow before I can release a version that works with the new Japanese Yen pricing.

Not too mad about that since it's identical to PS4/Xbox One and not a gimped version this year.
That shit is going to piss me off though.

What the hell is steam lagg?
Oh, that was supposed to be read as (dot)hacked. Because of my name. And the .hack games/anime. Not sure if you got the reference.
Maybe someone else here got the joke.
I hope i get paired with you now. Or Momo.

That's just how much space it takes up on your hard drive. The actual download is usually much smaller.
I believe it's steamcornmunrity, if you look at it closely. >_<

I'll gladly pay $60 for the new gen version instead of $30 for the old gen version. Thank you 2k.

I finally bought a new monitor (Asus VE228HR) to replace my old one (crappy brand, 16:10, max 1440x900 resolution). Well, this looks really more brilliant, maybe even too much. The problem is though, I'm currently playing Planescape Torment. No mods, just the GOG version with a bug fix patch, in the original resolution. This new monitor though stretches the image to full screen, and it's ugly. Is there something I can do?
True, Civ V was like 75% discounted and BNW was full price for like ever.
Firaxis pls.

Ok, thanks, I'll check.
Civ 5 was also free at some point because of some UK award or something.
