Valve really should fix that. Some games crash when I alt-tab and its getting annoying.

To bad it seems like they never will. But it's always fun when you play a game to pass the time while you wait for the download to finish only to remember that you have forgotten to resume it.

I just bought the X3 series. I've never even really heard of it, but I saw the screens and thought shit I haven't played a space game in forever.

I'll email gabe after the sale, he always listens to me. Their top engineers will be on it soon after, don't worry.

Fuck it, I bit on Saints Row from GMG, for $20, that's just a complete for a game I keep hearing is just absolutely hilarious and great. Pretty sure with that purchases, that brings me just below $40, so not bad this time around. No more purchases (hopefully).

EDIT: Well isn't that just freaking peachy, my Visa's been denied. Checked the website and it's been compromised, thus disabled. I don't see any suspicious transactions but I can't take care of this until 3 days from now. Fan-fucking-tastic.

There doesn't seem to be a four-pack offer on Alice, dammit. And I'm just short of cash to buy it. Dammit, I hate being poor.

Anyone wanna trade 10 coals for a copy? Unless it's cheaper somewhere else?

Oh, and I tried the Crimecraft cheev, but the game thinks I'm cheating for some reason and shuts down. Anyone else getting that? Was I saved?

EDIT: Turns out it IS cheaper, in the USA. Any kind Yanks want to gift it to me? I can PayPal.

Can someone explain the Guest Pass thing for a Steam newbie?

I've read different things.. 24 hours.. 3 day pass... 7 day pass.. full game..

I'm guessing it varies by game? And presumably not everyone has guest passes?

Thanks!
 
What I've bought so far:
Batman AA GOTY
Audiosurf
BTTF Collection
Defense Grid
Swords and Soldiers
E.Y.E
Psychonauts
Orcs Must Die & All DLC

I've won:
CSS, (Gifted away)
DMC3, (Gifted away)
Oddbox Collection.

That pretty good for £20.
 

Pancakes

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Finally finished trudging through And Yet It Moves, such a terrible game.

I was rewarded with a coal for my efforts which I immediately crafted. I received 50% off StarRuler, God damn you Gabe.

Got the Jamestown achievement on my friends account. That game is fun, I might have to buy it.

Pay what you want:

Avadon(g)

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Nation Red 4-pack (AMAZING game, a must-buy tbh)

Try these demos then:

Just Cause 2

Zeno Clash

Lara Croft & the Guardian of Light

Defense Grid: The Awakening

Also without demos:

F.E.A.R.

Also why don't you own Half-Life 2 and Portal 2 bro? :(

I'm pretty confident that you'll be able to run everything here, except for maybe Just Cause 2 but it's surprising how well optimized that game is.

Thanks. I owned Portal 2 already for the PS3 and I just haven't gotten around to Half-Life 2.

Just Cause 2's opening cinematic doesn't even run right on this machine. lol

Very helpful suggestions though.

My Purchases:
Saint's Row the Third. Redeemed to Steam, 19.99 from GMG.

Yup! I guess this psych experiment of a sale rubbed me the wrong way, because I'm normally spending money on junk I'll never play like the rest of PC-GAF.

That is awesome. So GMG just gives you a steam key?
