Anyone with "Painkiller: Black Edition" has the same problem as me, that Steam isn't showing this as "In Library" on the store page?

Wow... well, I guess I can wait for Ubi to send me the keys for one more day before getting worried.
I really really hate when devs do that. I mean why would I want to play through the same game three times for one achievement? And of course it's the last one, actually it's better than similar achievement of Dead Hungry Dinner, where I think you have to play a story mode 10 times to get it, but not by much.
I got Bosshi for less :,<
A bit jelly that I paid more than twice as much for D:OS
Some achievements are really silly or unnecessary tedious to get.

I see the "In Library" on the store page, but then again I got it from the Painkiller complete pack and not individually (not sure if that makes any difference).

Man these Crimsonland cards sure take their sweet time to drop. I'm at 5.4 hours and still one card to go. It's only 4 cards.

Hopefully them removing the game from the promotion didn't get you caught in the middle of something.
Though it's still available so there shouldn't be a issue.

It took me 6 hours to get all, just checked (><)
new record! for 4 cards at least

Curious for sub $5 strategy recommendations. Don't care what genre (fantasy, realistic, sci-fi, etc)... just want something nice and deep (and good). Still kicking myself for not picking up Dungeon of the Endless during the last sale, though thankful there's another coming up.
Took one, thanks.

Hey.
Anyone had this problem before? I have a 1080p resolution on my PC, but somehow every program I start uses a 800*600 one it seems and looks totally blurry. Besides Steam.
Whether its Outlook, mIRC or Total Commander.

Yep, same problem here. I was about to buy it again the last time it went on sale, luckily I checked if I really didn't have it first.
It probably was posted already that Alien: Isolation is on sale at gamersgate -50%
and I'm speechless after seeing gmg daily, that's almost perfect "the wat" moment.
and I'm speechless after seeing gmg daily, that's almost perfect "the wat" moment.
Sunday at around 6pm / 7pm gmt seems to be the peak time for the week I think. If numbers are what you are after, that is going to be far increased during the Winter Sale from December 18th (I'm guessing) onwards, and I'd imagine a lot more unpredictable due to it being the holiday season.
That reminds me, there was a thread I was going to post these into but forgot - here are the numbers for the Sunday (30/11) of the autumn sale around peak time.
13-2 is out tomorow? wheres mah key GMG >_>
it's not tomorrow, actually, for us, but a day after tomorrow and then some, to be precise: 2 days and 18 hours from now on.
I'm never sure does it apply to gmg too or not.
That is one of the few games I got at almost full price, assuming there was no chance of it going on sale for a while.... I should have known better
Now I'm ever curious about the DLC and if it would be worth using the upgrade preorder thing since I enjoyed the game so much. But then again, what are the odds of that stuff being good...
No, wait, it's out on the 11th. My mistake.
Also, panic averted with Lara Croft, it's unpacking now. Woohoo.
Gamestar... I don't think I ever bought it. I was actually buying German mags whenever I was in Germany (usually when going to Italy/Austria for winter break skiing), but I'm not sure If I ever bought that one. I'm sure I have some PC Games, some Games Aktuell (one issue had Bandits: Phoenix Rising and Breath Of Fire 4 on cover disc!) and even an issue of *coughcough* Computer Bild Spiele (it's probably in pieces, though). Outside of Germany, I was in London once and bought an issue of PC Zone (the magazine this masterpiece comes from). Was pretty cool and -since it was in English- easier to read. Shame they closed down. Not that I could read them again anyway, because it was the only time I've been to UK, but still...
Shows up for me. Weird.

We able to play lara Croft or are you going to work or are at work already?
Most programs looked blurry for me after I upgraded to Windows 8.1, this helped:
Got unchecked after the update for some reason.
Also, from the same thread this suggestion came from (http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/810938810627691520/):
God, how I hate these people. Don't have anything to say? Don't say anything instead of trying to look like a goddamn expert. I did a thread about this phenomenon last year: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=734461.
Computer Bild Spiele isn't that bad for a gaming magazine. Just the mother paper and he publisher are awful.
Turnbased only or are RTS fine too? Focus on economy and diplomacy or more war? How about RPG and action elements?

I don't think he want's LLTQ though.
everybody wants LLTQ, not everyone is aware of that yet, though
going to work >_>
Yeah, just checked and it happens for me as well.
Same here. It's been like this for several months at least (likely since the actual release)

Don't worry I will wait for you.
We probably won't be playing until this weekend unless I get a snow day
jagged alliance 2 gold aswell, I just did a double take earlier when the page said I didnt own it. different subs or something
a number of games/DLC do this
Civ V - Age of Wonders or something

who can I get TF2 keys from?

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.
The problem here is that the store page is actually for "Painkiller: Gold Edition" (appID = 3200) that was renamed "Painkiller: Black Edition". There is another app called "Painkiller: Black Edition" (appID = 39530).
Purchasing on the page is for subID 2234, which includes "Painkiller: Black Edition" (appID = 39530). Steam's "Dynamic Store Update" works in the same way that Enhanced Steam used to with it's highlighting. It looks to see if your account owns the AppID in question.
Confused yet? It's kind of a cluster. Basically, the only way to get that game to show up "In Library" properly is to have purchased it before it became "Black Edition", as all of the subs that contain the correct AppID have been removed from Steam.
It's a pretty easy fix, really. They simply need to delist app 3200 and replace it with app 39530.

I just received an email from Humble Bundle, telling me that my two extra copies of Insurgency is about to expire.
So here's the link to get a copy of Insurgency, for anyone that's interested: https://www.humblebundle.com/?gift=B3xyP8GrtNwKED2w

Talos Principle reviews are going up
4.5/5 from PCWorld
Destructoid - 8/10
Choice boxart quotes -
"Portal changed puzzles forever, Talos Principle is the best puzzle since Portal"
"10-12 hours(pcworld) 20 hours(destructoid) and there's still puzzles to be done"
"Good story"
"Listening to god leads to one ending, listening to the serpent leads to another, there's also a 3rd secret ending"
Of course I heavily shortened the quotes for my own comical reasons, good to see the article had more screens though. I really hope Serious Sam 4 look's this clean, SS3 had god awful filters on some missions that really dragged the visuals down.

Question: if I buy a retail copy of Viva Pinata, is there any way to install or download via a key or something so I don't need to use a DVD drive?
I don't have a DVD drive on this desktop.
