I started categorizing my games yesterday and used a genre based approach in the beginning, too. But I completely revised the classification and decided to use other criteria: Games I've finished/ likely never play (again)/ I'm playing currently and those I've yet to install.
Seems to work better for me.

My categories are set up based on franchise. That's a lot of categories but it looks nice in the end and everything can be found relatively easily. For example:

Half-Life

• Half-Life
• Half-Life 2
• etc.

Team Fortress

• Team Fortress Classic
• Team Fortress 2

 

[Ogedai_Khan]

Categories?

Playing, Not Played, Done With / Finished

I keep it simple

I didn't know you can set categories on steam. I should consider doing this.

What do I do with these snow globe things Steam gives me for voting?

Sell. Trade. Craft.

Craft, trade or sell.

Am I crazy, or does Cook Serve Delicious use the Bad Rats font for the text that flashes at the start and end?

I think I'd like to try my hand at RPG maker. Is VX Ace the game i should start with? Does it go on sale below 50% from time to time? Any suggestions?

Ah, it was 75% off a couple days ago. Bummer you just missed it. I downloaded the free Lite version last night because I wanna try it out.

It's kind of a pain in the ass though since you have to do each one manually.

Sell them--->buy more games--->get more globes--->sell them

 

[Coreda]

Curious when the next Steam sale will be on, as I'm on the fence about Dark Souls. Not particularly taken by the difficulty aspect or fantasy setting, but it has me curious.

Really hoping CD Projekt's cyberpunk game ends up being my kind of thing, but it's a ways off.

 

[outunderthestars]

about .20 a piece on the market. That is the only use I have found for them.

 

[Falifax]

I have a sudden urge to play ACIV and it's $35 on Amazon. Decisions, decisions.

 

[Kadin]

Good Morning GAF! What should I be voting on with this Community Choice?

 

[Gunstarheroes]

I really wish i was Steam Level 5 right about now, i'd like to start getting those snow globe cards, even if its just for trade and selling.

 

[InertiaXr]

How is Sanctum 2? I heard from pre-release info it was much more FPS-y than tower defense-y compared to Sanctum 1, so that kind of turned me off from looking more into it around release, but I sure did like Sanctum 1 a lot...Is 2 and the season pass maps stuff worth just under $7?

 

[outunderthestars]

Well, that is a bummer. Not going to let $15 stand in my way of having a new toy.

[Jawmuncher]

Sell them for money on the market.

Sell. Trade. Craft.

4. Let em vanish.

Steam Marines! It's got Steam right in the title!

 

[legacyzero]

I don't have categories.

My library looks like a goddamn mess.

Yeah, I need to fiture out how that works. SOOOO disorganized...

Infinite + Shadow Warrior for 12€ is a great deal. Or The Bureau.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Oh, it does, which is why I haven't bought the game and will never play it.
I feel sorry for BlueByte, but fuck giving Ubi any of my money for this bullshit that only hurts people that actually buy the game.

Fair enough. I ran out of patience, and at this price it's easier to justify a purchase.

 

[Rhaknar]

yup

 

[Head of Vengarl]

Ok thanks, I'll just sell the globes. I think I have enough to get $1!

 

[Jive Turkey]

At least its alphabetized.

Hard alphabetized. Blackwell Convergence (3), Blackwell Deception (4), Blackwell Legacy (1), Blackwell Unbound (2) as an example. Drives me nuts. The Penny Arcade games are even worse.

 

[runnin_blue]

I just finished The Witcher 2! Yay!

Is 3 out yet ?!

Spoiler

This wait is gonna kill me...

 

[Grief.exe]

The loading times for Last of Us is atrocious, but, man, that game is so intense.

Need to take a break every once in a while.

I personally love Sanctum 2. I just picked up the season pack and skin pack today. My friends and I have been playing it with all the feats of strength on for the past few weeks and it can get pretty intense and is really fun. There definitely still is a big tower defense aspect to it.

People say the FPS aspect is in play more in this game because it has been improved and your weapons have a bigger effect on the outcome of the wave than in Sanctum 1. In the first game there were times were you never had to fire your weapon which rendered the whole idea of a FPS tower defense almost useless. The idea in the second game was to balance things out and I think they did a great job. I recommend it, especially if you have some buddies to play with (up to 4 player coop).

Bureau + Shadow Warrior is tempting, but I have so many games right now.

 

[redfirm]

does anybody have a list of all these gamesites with deals. i only know of steam humblebundle, greenmangaming, thats it.

 

[codhand]

Amazon has some pretty good stuff going on right now, I think their January deals will be revealed today.

If someone wants to get something from here, I'd be down for Shadow Warrior. Or if someone wants to get something other than Shadow Warrior, hit me up.

 

[Shepard]

The sites I use: Steam, greenmangaming, gamersgate, nuuvem, getgamesgo, amazon, gog and the humble store. If you want to check them all there's the isthereanydeal site and cheapshark.

 

[yoshizzle]

$6 @ Amazon

Don't think Brothers has been a daily deal yet on Steam. I believe it lost a community vote.

Is There Any Deal

If you import your wishlist and add the option for Steam redeemable you will get updates on every game from all those sites as well as historical price lows and other information. I just found this a week ago and it's pretty awesome.

 

[Hawkie]

Just bought the DLC for Van Helsing on Steam and received a thank you email from Neocore with a Bonus Kit DLC, which contains a Unique Item and a Special Aura!

Activated it on Steam (no name just stub). Really nice gesture from the developer.

 

[Coldsnap]

Hows Rise of Flight's controller support? I see it has full controller support but hows the experience with a controller only? Thanks!

 

[Prophane33]

gamersgate is alright. I mean, you can get Battlefield 3 for 3.99. They used to be better about deals in the past (or at least it felt that way to me) these days their deals are hit or miss; unfortunately, 98% are miss these days but you can find some great deals and a lot of titles that aren't sold elsewhere (not everything redeems on Steam)

If you don't know about GOG then I feel sorry for you.

Epic Bundle.

What's so good about cook serve delicious?

For me, it was a couple of things..

- It's challenging without being overwhelming.
- The simulation aspect keeps you immersed in the game world (READ: Controls feel organic as opposed to arbitrary. Washing a dish, for example, has you scrubbing back and forth with two opposing keys, etc.)
- You don't have to be perfect, but bonuses are there for those who can do it.
- Customization. Making your own menu, etc. Unlocking new menu items through purchasing new kitchen equipment.
- Non-cooking related gameplay (email, police sketches/robberies/etc)
- Captures the feeling of the setting well. Rewarding gameplay makes you feel like you could actually cook this stuff. Being able to keep up with rush hour orders adds to that feeling of accomplishment.
- Fun characters.
- Nice price, replayability

 

[outunderthestars]

So RPG maker is $35 at both Amazon and Steam. Both install via Steam. Any reason to choose one store over the other?

Cheapshark.com is the best site I use.

This one is also good for deals that drop under the radar: http://www.dealzon.com/gaming/pc
