My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
is Steam cloud not syncing saves for anyone else? I'm about to go out of town for the weekend so installed a few games on my macbook that are steam play and steam cloud compatible yet my saves from PC don't show up :-/

I don't think Mac to Windows or Windows to Mac saving works for every game.
 

Stop It

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.
Cheap Giana Sisters, nice. And they have cards? Bought.

I have the first one on GOG but just wanted to buy the Owlverlord (And Wargame: European Escalation). The bloody system messed up the transaction, and now they're in my library, but cannot be installed as it is still "processing". First time I've had an issue like this on Steam, I wonder how it'll shake out.

Bit scared to try to buy anything else for now in case something has gone completely awry.
 
This is my first steam sale, I bought Guacamelee Gold Edition, Skyrim Complete, Hotline Miami, (Free) Left 4 Dead 2 and just a few seconds ago Magicka. I have very little knowledge of Magicka, so I'm excited to find out if it was a good purchase or not.

Why aren't the Riddick games on Steam?

Two explanations comes to mind:

- Atari yanked Riddick (and Ghostbusters) itself, or
- Atari's publishing contract as it related to Steam expired, but the company received permission to sell off the Steam keys it had already generated (Riddick is still available on GameStop, however Ghostbusters never got restocked)

Why aren't the Riddick games on Steam?

Its almost for the better, those games are completely riddled with DRM.

I'd like to see someone purchase the license and the games from Atari, clean them up, and put them back on sale again.

I actually have a Steam copy of Riddick, but when I play through again I will use the GOG copy.
 
So, I have $1.64 left in Steam credit, is there anything going right now that I can get? I'm not interested in World of Goo, is there literally anything else I can get?

bah, hate this brown looking castle in alice madness returns, it was so colorful just a few moments ago, now it's like gears of war 1 :<
 
You know what, fuck foils. Fuck foils in their fucking ass. I've gotten exactly 1 foil to drop and that was was back early in the card beta. Nothing since then. So many games idled. So many drops from helping people buy games on the US store. Nothing. Just nothing. Steam hates me.

Giana Sisters...IS THIS GAME WORTH IT ?

Coming from someone not into platformers of any kind, I liked it on PS3 enough to rebuy on steam. Now if I could have bought time to play them too!
It's charming, colourful, has interesting mechanics of switching between worlds, for that price? Very much worth

This sale alone I got 1 booster pack and 1 foil.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
is dirt 3 worth it? last colin mcrae i played was part two on the ps1 if i remember correctly.

Never played it but Dirt 2 is great so far from what I'm playing but the thing is you do all these other racing events rather than actual rally and I hear Dirt 3 improves on dat so it already sounds a wayyy better game.

Deadly Premonition is 7.5 € on GOG compared to the 10 € of the Steam version (in case it hits 60 % on a Daily/Flash, 12.5 right now), but I want everything on Steam. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PLACES TO CHOOSE FROM?

You might end up wishing you bought bad rats instead (><)
it might be a good game for very little kids though, depends on a kid, of course

Then its one more for the library then.

You guys convinced me on Giana Sisters. 2.69 usd is pretty cheap

Guys
I can't play Don't Starve.
I absolutely suck at this game.

Tips for the first few days? I've tried cutting down trees and making a better fire, and planting trees and trying to make an home base, but I'm really struggling with food

Where should I settle?

Yeah, they've been posted quite a few times now. 75% off GTA4 should mean that I'll be able to pick up the German version of GTA:SA for 2.49 Eurobucks, so I'm looking forward to that.

As we have some time to kill, I'm giving you Bad
Bots
. This game is not Bad Rats.
With this I assure you that it's not rat bots, it's just bad bots.
