since everyone is being so generous... Ben there Dan that...? just sayin

Actually I have a copy of Half life 2 and Episode 1 to trade out? shadowgrounds pack :D
 
gta4 is a beast to download, looks like i'm leaving my pc on overnight tonight. best back-up the data to my external too because I don't want to download 14gig again any time soon.
 
Any indie game recommendations? I think I have a lot of the decent ones below $5 but any of these $7.50-10 worth it? Aaaaa, aquaria, gratuitous space battles, eufloria?

Yes, Aquaria is great, as well as Osmos, World of Goo, Machinarium and Trine.
 
First person to PM me with their e-mail address or steam ID gets my second Killing Floor Guest Pass.

Also, if anyone has an extra Shattered Horizon guest pass... I'm looking. Thanks!

huh!? GTA stopped downloading because i played torchlight... strange
Sometimes Steam'll pause the downloading when you're in a game; sometimes it'll just keep 'em running and they'll cause you to lag in online games.
Just alt+tab and resume the download while you're playing Torchlight.

I've noticed games stop downloading once you start another game. Even if it is not an online game. Very frustrating.

Is there much of a difference between the console version and PC version of Bioshock?
 
I don't expect a response cause I know most of you probably already have it but I have a gift copy Half-Life 2 and I'd like to trade someone for Bioshock (onsale now for $5).

You can fix this by alt-tabbing out, pausing and then resuming the download.

Far from ideal but it works.

anyone play any of the Nancy Drew games? (I realize how odd of a question this is) I love adventure games and it seems that some of the Nancy Drew games are really good so that $50 complete pack is rather tempting

I've played through both, and the differences are what you would expect. It controls better with keyboard + mouse, and looks better in high res + 60 fps. The PC version is superior, but I was also surprised and happy with how it played on the 360.
 
My full final haul:

Crysis
Crysis Warhead
Crysis Wars
Street Fighter IV
Max Payne
Resident Evil 5
Indigo Prophecy
Splintercell: Chaos Theory
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
The Dig
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Loom
Killing Floor
Trine
Half-Life: Source
Zeno Clash


I'll see about GTA IV next time. Yes it's 7.50 but I've already spent enough money this year. It would be totally fun to play though... Oh Steam. You tempt me more than a lover in heels...But no. NO. I can fight it.

i would recommend to combine this with float32 to get better performance
http://www.dfgrom.com/forums/news/1725-s-t-l-k-e-r-shadow-chernobyl-float32-2-0-2188-updated.html

install stalker, start it once!, install stalker complete, go to the stalker/gamedata folder and delete the shaders folder, install float32, enjoy the game :D

but float32 is optional. just see if the game runs fine with complete, if you think the performance could be a bit better then you could try float32.
