I made a new logo for Idle Master tonight
(more cool stuff on the way soon)
Nice, looks solid, and the Steam clock is perfect.
I just had to thank you for the app and for turning me to it earlier. I had so many cards I hit my listing limit on Steam.

So I just played around with in-home streaming for the first time and... wow. I was using my Macbook Air hooked up to my TV and it worked flawlessly. I'm tempted to build a barebones teensy-PC and just keep it hooked up behind my TV at all times now; does anyone know how cheap/underpowered the "receiver" PC can get before it starts to impact steam streaming? The "sender" main PC will be a beast of a machine, i'm not worried about that end.

Totally forgot about the Flash deals. Also buy Rogue Legacy, you have no reason now.
I use my Air for a similar purpose (namely gaming in bed), as opposed to on the couch. I was led to believe that the most important factor in streaming really is your connection, and to some extent, the amount of RAM.
Space Hulk is mistakenly 48% off, it seems.
Edit: Oh, wait, forgot about the 15% loyalty discount.

So I finally sat down to play Dungeon of the Endless, and I can't get out of the tutorial because I can't figure out how to 'mousewheel' click on my new laptop. Burnt 45 minutes researching and installing drivers to no avail.
Then I get the great idea of seeing if I can remap the controls, but I can't figure out how to scroll the mapping list (there's no scroll bar, it just goes off the screen) in DotE.
Shoot me. I feel like somebody's grandparent right now, can't set up the vcr.

Fair enough xD Does anyone know if the soundtrack's available somewhere else? It's really reallyAnything and everything Skullgirls is worth it.
You can't remap something with the touch pad settings in control panel? I'll assume you can change it there. Or maybe you touch both the left and right side at the same time?

I've tried many things. I did just find an option for 'middle mouse click'... but the ONLY way I can get it to work is if I remap the left or right button (it appears in a drop down list for each). That does no good, since I need both of those too.
There's nothing in the gestures list. I'm completely stumped.
(Dell XPS 15 9530, just in case someone here has one. I'm at a loss, over an hour spent just trying to get through the tutorial).
I'd be fine if I could remap it in game somehow, but like I said I can't figure out how to 'scroll' the list of mappable keys in Dungeon of the Endless.
Actually -- if someone could boot up DotE and tell me if there is a hotkey for middle click (i think it 'activates' a room, not really sure what that means, since I'm only on like step 5 of the tutorial). If I had the keyboard equivalent I'd be set.

Of course the day Speevy doesn't do the contest, Rogue Legacy comes on sale
At least it's cheap to buy anyway
Looks like Resident Evil Zero is basically confirmed to be coming. In the screens for the pre-order theme you get for Biohazard Remaster HD in Japan has a game icon for Biohazard Zero:
Yes! So many people like to harp on Zero by saying that RE4 was the gameplay solution to its reception, but I still love it. Billy Cohen is another fantastic forgotten RE character and had surprisingly good voice acting for the series. His partnership with Rebecca was really cool and Marcus' hilarious insanity was crazy fun.

Pretty much. I had a lot of fun with Skullgirls. Dare I say, more than USF4.
Of course the day Speevy doesn't do the contest, Rogue Legacy comes on sale
I'm sure Speevy will come back. Probably his off day. =P
Other than hitting both buttons at the same time, you could always borrow a mouse from someone until you find a fix lol :|
I hope you get it sorted soon!
Oh, could you not remap the pad, tab out, then map to default?
autoduelist

Both at same time doesn't do it, it was the first thing I tried. Oh well. Hopefully someone comes along and can tell me if there's a key mapped to it in DotE.
EDIT - nevermind, guessed it. Ctrl-click.

I ain't buying DOA5 until it's confirmed what version the PC port is based on, last gen or current gen.
WinterDemons
Member
I would assume that it would be current gen, but anything can happen.
The DoW master collection contains all the separate campaigns and multiplayer portions. They didn't get exploitative with DLC until DoW2.
The DoW 2 master collection just the three campaigns plus basic multiplayer. See below for the DLC.
The DoW2 DLC item packs are ingame items with new effects and such, a lot of which should have been included in the base game and expansions. Some are multiplayer based and add new Heroes, races, and unit models. There is also a survival mode, "Last Stand" DLC.

I'll post it here from the Holiday Sales thread.
A "quick" write up on Skullgirls and Rogue Legacy for those that are interested in the games but not sure if they want to pull the trigger.
Skullgirls - Are you a fan of fighting games or interested of getting into the genre? Either way this game is for you, one of the best western fighting games this kickstarted gem has all the depth of bigger titles. If this is your first time in the ring they've got your back with one of the most complete tutorial sections I've ever seen (including character specific tutorials), from basic things to moves I'll never be able to pull off myself you can find it all in the tutorial section.
Once you know how to hold your own the game opens up with a roster of unique characters and with different movesets and playstyles. If that's not enought then change the rules: choose to fight as a 3 member team of weaker characters, a 2 member team of regular characters or face your foes as a single powerful character who doesn't need assists.
But that's not all, the reason this game is so highly praised is due to its charm. From the characters, to the backgrounds, the announcer voice and even the music selection this game just oozes charisma and that's why 'till this day many hold it close to their hearts.
Rogue Legacy - This game can be viewed as either a rogue-like or rogue-lite depending on where you draw the line but the game starts with a simple premise: What do you do with the burden of your father's legacy? What will you leave behind for your next of kin?
The game works as a 2D randomly generated manor of doom: you'll choose which class you want to use that time, enter the castle and brave the unknown in search of riches and answers.
The gold you earn on each run can be used to upgrade your own manor: unlocking new classes, stat boosts or miscellaneous upgrades that will make future adventures more manageable or fruitful, whether you want to rely on magick or stick to melee you'll find your own play style. You can also buy new gear and runes from friendly NPCs to help you on your quests.
But hidden in the depths of the castle hide perils greater than the common for, if a boss is giving you a hard time you can always count on a special NPC to lock down the castle and help you have another go at that big meanie.
Each time you go in the castle you'll be more powerful and knowledgeable and each time you'll go deeper, finding clues that will lead you to the secrets of the castle.

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.
Steam Idle Master 0.7 has been released. This version has been rewritten in C# and runs on Microsoft Windows. You can obtain this new version directly from the new Idle Master website at www.steamidlemaster.com.
This new version includes a lot of new features including the ability to pause / resume idling, skip the current idling game, and to minimize the application to the system tray. It also includes a drastically simplified setup procedure (no more messing with browser cookies and text files). Additionally, once installed Idle Master will periodically check to make sure you're running the latest version.
The source code for this version is available on Github, along with the non-Windows Python applications which are no longer being developed. Because of the shift in programming languages, there may be bugs. I'm happy to assist in any way I can.

Idling Steam games has been around since Trading Cards were first introduced, and I don't know of a single user that has gotten in trouble for doing it. It's not against the Steam Subscriber Agreement.
I suppose if they wanted to, they could add the application to their VAC pattern detection, which is why I don't recommend running Idle Master while connected to a VAC enabled server.
Please let me know if you run into any issues!

Why would Valve care to stop you? They take a cut out of every card sale you make, then take their same usual cut out of every game sale whether from Steam credit or not, so you raking in the dough means they are raking it in as well. He may have made them more money than Durante.

Cool stories bros, thanks. I'm just relatively a noob and still figuring this whole Steam world out
Continuing on from my last spot in The Long Dark, I was pretty well stocked up on food from fishing and had plenty of firewood, so I decided to go exploring. I ended up finding a Dam control room/building. Explored the first floor and ran into a wolf, popped a flare and scared it off thinking that it was gone, went further down and found a rifle but no bullets, after clearing the second floor out, my flare ran out. Thought I'd scared off that wolf so didn't worry, I turned around and there were 3 of them, I fought off one but had lost more than half my health, 2nd one got me. Died 4 days in.
Started a new sandbox, got dropped into the game at 9pm, in the middle of a blizzard next to a pack of wolves. 0/10.

Thanks for the info, glad you got it working.
I've been working on that section of the code quite a bit but I knew it might not be 100%, although I was hoping. The application itself is portable though the distribution method I chose makes that a little bit difficult. If you launch Idle Master you can look in the task manager -> processes section. Right click IdleMaster.exe and select "Open File Location". Next, simply copy all of the files in that folder to your portable device and it should run fine from any Windows PC that has the .NET Framework and Steam installed.
