yea i think i'm not gonna be able to stream, you need a much better internet i think
Yes I believe having decent cyberwebz is a requirement. That is why I don't stream, and try to get suckers to donate to me.

I don't think I'll be making any purchases this sale. Well perhaps just a few games, but there is not anything I want really or have been waiting for.

So what happens if you are broadcasting "game-only" but you alt-tab? Does is just still show the game, desktop or does the screen just go black?

So, I'm private streaming right now. I won't get banned right? Only zykylon is there through invite only.

do you think that valve / whoever runs that streaming shit doesnt have access to what you stream just because its private?

Man the sale hasn't end for me since the very first one. Whenever that was.

Well if you were to read the faq here. No only the game is broadcasted unless you allow your desktop.

Edit: people won't see the dirty stuff you be looking up. :)
 
After having watched some of Game of Thrones Telltale game, I don't know if I like the art style and watercolor filter they use, I think they need to focus on a new engine, it's a shame that for a company that prides themselves on how great and realistic their characters and stories, they use a bunk old engine that doesn't look great or animate well, a fresh bit of tech would take their games to a new level I think.

While it would be nice, they can't even get their old tech working properly. Can you imagine the tech support issues we'd get if Telltale decided to try a new engine?

Noob question: does Steam offer a cloud backup for save files? And if not why not??

it does for games that use steamworks

not all of them but a lot of aaa games use steamworks. some have issues like fallout new vegas and use steamworks but don't support cloud saves

Well maybe if they built a new engine that's made for their type of games that they make now, it could help solve some of those problems that might be a legacy issue with the engine their using now. One would hope, but I'm getting tired of they way their games look.

The wording wasn't completely clear so didn't know how it applied to alt-tab:ing, but I guess that counts as not being in the game. Also haha I wasn't worried about the dirty stuff, more about when alt-tab:ing to answer facebook/skype messages.^^;

Streaming went quite well, considering...
- I was remote desktop from my office to my home PC and streaming that stream from there to my office PC
- I played in 480p and it was pretty smooth
- I only had a 2 mb upstream.

I was going over the installed games I have to decide what to delete and came upon Panzar, a f2p online game I installed because I was curious to try it out some time ago. Naturally I never did so I decided to do it now.

I started it up and was greeted by the usual client wanting to download some update, which I let it do.
Meanwhile I noticed a video button on the client and pressed it, which brought me to the game website where a tutorial video was shown to me. Once the video ended I closed it and took a better look at the game's website, noticing that the nipples of the woman on the right were half showing. Well, that's fine with me, I thought, so once it got done patching I started it up.
I created my character, a Fire something woman and started the in-game tutorial. Once I got control of my almost butt naked character I noticed something. That something is that I couldn't move. My character keeps walking in place. now, i don't mind looking at a good butt but I also would prefer if that butt led me somewhere. The butt here doesn't lead me anywhere and, truth be told, it's not all that nice of a butt, though still a nicely shaped butt.
Anyways, to end this ramble, I can now, with a clear conscience, go ahead and uninstall Panzar.
