Just bought some Sleeping Dogs DLC, and I'm trying to get the Dragon Master Pack for $1.59, but when I click Purchase For Myself on the cart page (both in-browser and through Steam itself), it says this:
Except I don't own any of the DLC items included in the pack. Neither Steam nor Enhanced Steam indicate ownership of any of the DLC items, and adding each individual item and the pack to the cart displays "This item is already in your cart" for the items and "All items in this pack already in cart" for the pack. Should I bite the bullet and pay for all 5 DLC separately for $2.95?
Have you right clicked Sleeping Dogs in your library and checked the Downloadable Content menu? It may be you do already own it but the store just isn't showing for some reason.
Get new friends, problem solved.

Some people might tell you to take each death as a learning experience. I'm not sure about that. I'd say to take each death with the smallest of grains of salt.
To paraphrase my favorite movie, "Sometimes you eat the bar. And sometimes, well, the bar eats you."
The chat is used enough times to make it worth it. Beyond that, looking in the Group tab to quickly find people just specific group rather than the whole friend list helps make it easier to find specific people you want to PM or invite to a game.
If we were to make a tournament or set up a period to play a game together, we would do that through Events to help keep track.
It looks nice on the profile.
Amen to that. Never buy an Arkham game at launch. Unless you're going for +1 game count.
Groups are like badges you don't have to buy cards for.
Yeah, I went for Rogue Legacy on its own in the end, Antichamber can wait till tomorrow.
Well, I better try this new game out, then.
...
Well, I still say Risk Of Rain is the better game, if only by initial impressions, but RL certainly beats it in terms of graphics and overall presentation. I love that even the female knights have beards! I hate giving Charon all my money at the beginning of a new run! I am actively avoiding using anyone with the Vertigo trait! I am hungry and tired and I want to curl up in my pre-warmed bed with a bacon butty and a hot cup of tea, so I'll go do that. After I've had a go of Legend Of Dungeon, which I bought earlier on for about a quid, that is.

The stretching in Portal 2 looks like the resolution is wrong or something. Things stretch as they approach the left and right side of the screen. The resolution and aspect ratio setting are correct though
It sounds like your FOV is set too high. I believe in Portal 2 you can adjust FOV in the graphics menu, check in there otherwise you'll have to use the console.

You guys think baldur's gate II enhanced edition will get a front page/flash sale?

Yay, thanks for capsized Ogedai_Khan
Definitely worth it for the gun-play alone. Story isn't too terrible and MP is a lot of fun.
I'd have been pissed had I paid full price for it, but I had a lot of fun for the 10 bucks or so it cost me a year ago.
-Deaths aren't important. Fear no losing a single character, Rogue Legacy makes it so you start right back up with some changes.
-Armour and weapons can go a long way early on, so focus on that a bit more than individual stat boosts.
-Destroy everything. Don't leave an area until you've killed all the enemies and destroyed every object, you want that gold.
-Only upgrade the Pogo stick attack once, beyond that it's the least important of all stats.
-One of the best runes (extra abilities) you can get is the double jump. Air dash can get you a long way as well.
-The cost of activating each rune goes up each time you do so, so don't activate one unless you really want to use it.
-Use a controller. Play around with the settings for the best feel of sensitivity for the down attack.
- Yes it's a game of "grinding", but you can get quite far without grinding. Learn how best to swing the sword for the widest arc (you can attack from underneath an enemy at times), learn how best to use that magic (make an opponent get hit twice with an axe or circle disc thing), etc.
- Don't be afraid to use your magic, it's there to kill enemies, don't let it just sit there not helping you. The game will provide a good amount of potions to refil it and later runes or armour can help get it back as well.
-Have fun.
Congrats. Someday I'll join you.
After making the mistake of getting Asylum and City early on due to good sales for PS3, I'm not doing that again. Game of the Year for Origins and beyond, it has to be that way for me now because I love all those challenge rooms so much and it's not worth buying them individually.
It sounds as though you've got the FOV slider up all the way. Try dialing it back a bit until you don't get as much distortion.The stretching in Portal 2 looks like the resolution is wrong or something.

Just got my first foil \o/
I got my first earlier (Bull from Hotline Miami I think), sold it too
While I will admit I collect Pokemon cards in real life, I don't see the appeal of Steam cards cluttering up my inventory.bigwinnerx

Thanks for Dear Esther Ogedai, I've been wanting to try it.
The first 2 are great!
Why 8 hours? You could have gotten all cards in 2 hours, lol.
And that game is one of the most boring platformers I've played. FInished the first 2 levels and decided I had enough of it. Floaty jumps, awful camera (seriously, how can someone fuck up the camera in a 2D platformer?) and ugly art style. Trying it made me wish I was playing Jazz Jackrabbit 2 instead.

Could you not just buy it as a gift, store it in your inventory and activate from there?

Are we talking about the third one or the first one?
If talking about the first one, its aged in some ways, but still is interesting to see how many games took inspiration from it, and the gunplay is still very satisfying with some real cool moments sprinkled throughout the adventure.

Yea I got a Hotline Miami foil today too i'm trying to sell it so I can buy to other Hotline Miami cards, then a can craft a badge and level up to 5

So, everyone's voting for DmC, right?
Nope, bet on TWD. Sadly....
Same bunch of people who voted for The Pit over Paranautical Activity. :\

Oh yes, part 3, I passed on a couple of deals in the past and still hesitant even at $4, ha, just so many games to catch up on.
Don't go crazy unlocking stuff in the castle while you're still learning the controls. Each life, you get to pick from three random characters whose classes are randomly picked from the classes you have unlocked-- it is easier to play a handful of classes until you're good at them than it is to play a different class every time.
You should prioritize spending gold on equipment first, then runes, then upgrades to your current classes (ie, barbarian -> barbarian king), then stats like HP, equip weight up, and attack/defense/crits. Runes get more expensive the more you buy, so for those try to prioritize mobility (jump and dash) over stuff like vampirism.
The exception to "don't go crazy unlocking stuff" is that there's a passive that gives you more gold. Its location in the manor is
off to the right, beyond archaeologist

MP3? Fun game, great gunplay, ok story and annoying unskippable cutscenes, multi is decent too but i'm not sure if it's dead or not on PC.

now that is a title I had blocked from my memory. Wikipedia says 1995, sounds about right to me. Quiz game, I clearly haven't played the recent version, 2011. I feel old now.
Trivia questions in a humourous and fast pace notion quiz show fashion. There should be a Facebook version you can try out for free.
The worth of a bundle, well depends on how much you enjoy that type of thing and if you want more questions.

Rogue Legacy has cards, so just give yourself an IOU. Really stoked about the patch from the other day, would never have realized it but for this thread.
What did the patch add?

That's a shame, DmC is one of the only games I've really been waiting for 75% on.

I'm going super cheap mode. I bought La Mulana, and selling the cards from it before I buy Rogue Legacy. Then I'll sell the rogue legacy cards and hope something else I want goes on sale (hoping for a lower sale on Paranautical Activity or Risk of Rain).

Walking Dead has been on sale a bajillion times and Dead Space 2 has a pretty crappy PC port and goes on sale every sale as well.
That's how you know one of those two are going to win.
Our avatars match almost!
