Dec 20th, give or take a day.
Be prepared to answer this question at least ten thousand times between now and the start of the X-mas sale.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Just make it the title of the new Steam thread.
You say this like it would stop people.

Are they waving to the giant pile of autumn leaves that they just jumped into? Is it the Harvest Moon?!?

Considering the dev is dead, you have gotten one of the last keys in circulation. So, did I.

Don't I know it!
Once I went through the ordeal of installing/patching my way to completion, I dumped a dozen or so hours into a solo game. I understand the official servers are gone and haven't looked too much into alternative methods of mp yet.

Sad to see tomb raider got fixed to add the aussie tax. Another potential steam sale game bites the dust

Restarted Tomb Raider Legend after years. Didn't get that far the first time around, reached 32% in 2.5h this time. Playing with a 360 controller.
It's good, I'm enjoying it for the most part. The platforming and puzzles are pretty good even if a bit linear and obvious, at least so far. Sadly the controls are iffy for almost everything. It seems that I can get nothing 100% right but almost never to the point of being frustrating. I missed a few ropes for unknown reasons but since it's rather generous with the checkpoints it's never that much of an issue. Moving blocks can die in a fire though, awful. I think my favourite thing is mashing the roll button and do some crazy acrobatics.
Combat is as hilariously awful as I remember it. I recommend playing it on Easy (I'm doing Normal) just so you can get it over with. Seriously, whatever CD does with the new Tomb Raider at least the combat won't be as tedious as this. There are some quicktime events, nothing major and not as offensive as some other stuff. Could have done without them because QTEs are generally not fun but they don't sour the experience.
I can't believe that this was a 2006 title, sometimes I forget how ugly some games looked back then. Everything looks so flat and low poly, except for the weapons which are super detailed compared to the rest for some strange reason. The story is nothing to write home about, typical B-movie garbage with some funny or not so funny quips thrown in. Generic British accent Lara (and every other woman really) is ridiculously hot, main villain is so forgettable every time he appears it feels like they introduced a new character. Cinematics are skippable the first time around so it's all good.
As I said, pretty enjoyable but nothing special. I heard that Anniversary is much better though and if I'm not burnt out by the time I reach the end I'll play that next.

Looks like the 15% IGN discount on GG is finally gone.
Guess I'll be buying a lot less on GG in the future.

Damn, I was leaving "Home" towards the end of the sale to see if there was any other great deal on indie games coming up... I completely forgot about it.
Thanks but I couldn't get that one to work, in the end it gave me a link that was offline (maybe a problem on my end).
Thank you, didn't realize they had multiple mirrors after you signed up, will try one of these when I return home.
No way!

Was booted from a game of Chivalry and now no servers show up. not sure if its becuase of steam or not.
When you get a sector key, you can play somewhere else. But, yes, it's a high score arcade game. Don't think I was misleading anyone about that. You play a sector until you die. You can then either replay to best your score, or play in a different sector.
You do unlock "Journey" mode after like reaching level six or something. Haven't actually played that mode yet, though, so I can't tell you how different it is.
EDIT: In case you don't grasp it right away (like me), make sure you spend your upgrade points (bench should be one of your first unlocks you get). Always spend you points on the bench as you get them. They reset with each sector. Also, make sure you raid the cabinets for gun upgrades when you're treasure looting.
Also, although combat gets you bench upgrade points, it's not always wise to fight. Burn holes in the structure, get your loot, and get out. The quicker you can loot a container, the better.

well, that was fun. And expensive.
See y'all in three weeks!

Yeah. Scheduled maintenance.
Valve sucks at informing customers about downtime. The only way I knew about it was from a thread at SPUF which I wager only a tiny portion of Steam users read.

I missed out on the street fighter bundle. Too bad, I've been trying to find a suitable fighter to test my new computer out on.
I did get Bastion and Hotline Miami though. So that's something to look forward to.

I present to you: The Valve Steam downtime announcement thread
And I quote:
Granted, it only has 2 million views, so a lot of users are probably left uninformed and that is kind of dumb, yes. They ought to have a pop-up on Steam the day before the maintenance.
Edit: OH, that was the entire point of your two posts, sorry dudes. Now I probably came off as a bit of an ass.

post your steam damage expenditure list in the sale thread, don't want it clogging up the main one.
