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.

It's a GFWL game isn't it? Can you even play/register it if you had a CD drive?

As long as you are getting the surface "pro" line of the older models rather than "RT" yooull be fine. Surface 2 and 3 are full windows iirc so steam is good to go!

interesting. Im looking for something that I can "sneak" (wont really be sneaking it, I can use it, as long as i dont make a big deal out of it) to work, and a "tablet" seems easier than a actual laptop. also easier to carry. these winter months are killer.

time to research

holy shit they are expensive :O I thought it was like an ipad... well that kills that idea lol

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.

It's a shame that Valve is so anti-Android. If there were an android in-home streaming platform it would significantly lower the barrier of entry in the "second device" scenario for most people. Ouya, Raspberry Pi, hell maybe even Amazon Fire TV and Chromecast could get in on the action.
 
That Killer bundle from Bundle Stars is actually pretty great. I've been meaning to get STALKER, but the other games in the bundle are pretty decent as well.

Five bucks well spent.

Talk to Dr Dogg. He picked up the surface 2 and loves it, playing civ and all sorts. He picked it up cheap somewhere maybe second hand, but I'm sure he can give you some pointers

guess ill look into some small cheap laptop

looking at surface specs, and they have ipad style storage (like 64/128/254 gigs), thats...not alot >_>

do you mean the character model or the gameplay?
either way, I don't think I agree with your assertion.

I mean the character. The ass-kicking, dual pistol wielding, Keeley Hawes voiced aristocratic archaeologist. Anyway, two hour report on Lara Croft: TOO. I'm certainly enjoying it, but it may be a little short in terms of length. I've already done two of the five optional challenge tombs, and they weren't very challenging. Also of note, three ctd's in those two hours, which is a bit depressing.
