I don't know why, I suddenly got a GTA4 itch.
Now before downloading 15GBs, is there a way to completely avoid installing GFWL?

I was thinking about renaming the GFWL folder in GTA4's main folder and using the xliveless dll before lauching the game for the first time to trick Steam into not installing GFWL.

Could it work?

Didn't Chubigans say that Cook Serve Delicious wouldn't be featured and the Halloween sale price was the price it was going to be for the entire duration of the sale?

I was totally going to buy it for 50% off, but I guess it's a Flash Deal!

I remember something like that, but then maybe between Autumn and Winter he got contected to negotiate a better deal?


Anyway, I managed to get through 3 or 4 days of CSD and I'm definitely digging the "Papers Please + Typing of the Dead" mix.
It's a shame that the title or the presentation could betray a casual/mobile vibe that is probably fending off lots of possible buyers.

I just have a single complaint: I just want to serve fried chicken. I mean, if I had a restaurant in real life, I'd only serve fried chicken. But here, I'm forced to serve other stuff too.
Chubigans, please, could you give me a custom build of the game where I can only cook and serve a delicious fried chicken? Thank you, lots of love.

Do I literally have to completely download and install L4D2 to "own" it? It looks like it is already in my library now that I pressed the "Install" button...

That's enough. It's linked to your account, like a purchase. :)

Got Guacamelee! and Cook, Serve, Delicious. Having lots of fun with the latter, although 20 days to get to level 2 seems a little long.

Also, great giveaways guys. I don't think I post here often enough to participate.

Speaking of Cook, Serve, Delicious!, I was watching TV a few days ago and saw some commercial for one of those stupid eBay knockoff sites and it was using one of the songs from CSD. I assume it was probably some public domain song, but I still got a kick out of it.

That was posted 6 days ago though. What we want to see are the sales after the flash sale is over.

I will be posting a very detailed article on sales in January that'll break down everything. I'll be sure to post it in the Steam thread when it's up!

Hah yeah, the music was for CSD but since I couldn't afford the exclusive rights to the music, it was posted onto royalty free music sites a few months after release. I'm definitely going to buy exclusive rights for my next game. :p

Maybe you could change the server that you're downloading from, I tried that once and it helped.

With Euro Truck Simulator 2 75% off, and with me having put over 50 hours of playtime since I got it during the Autumn Sale, I went and bought the two paint packs.

Damn it Steam. Two times now, I voted. A message comes up saying there was an error. But then the vote goes through, and I don't get cards
Click to expand...

Fucking steam, I was trading with wilflare and we got an error at the end of the trade.

Now my card seems to be lost in limbo since it's not in my inventory :/

Isn't that what they always vote for.
Click to expand...

If there's not a particular game I'm interested in and Gaf doesn't care strongly for any, I usually vote for deepest discount regardless of price.

I feel like it's worth Steam having data that tells developers "Hey guys, when you have price cuts more than 75% the users EAT DAT SHIT UP."

Bought because of this post. The game looks cool, and unlike anything I have in my Steam library, but I didn't know a gaffer made it!

My Steam Sales Stats tracker thingy, which updates hourly, has stopped cold since it's been on the Flash Sale.

It seems that voting habits varies from cheapest to the one everybody has. It's like community is voting for games they know and played, multiple times desirably, of course if games are unknown, they vote for cheapest.

Some small graphical improvements including the removal of the piss filter. DLC added including the Tong mission if you dont have that already, New Game + added as well as integration of The Missing Link into the main story line. Without Directors Cut The Missing Link is a separate entry in your Steam library and has to be launched separately when you come to the point in the story when it occurs chronologically.

This honestly kind of ticks me off. The main reason for me not playing Deus Ex: HR yet is that I don't have The Missing Link. Which I meant to get on sale at some point. But now all the DLC has become unavailable and I'm sure as hell paying 5 bucks for the directors cut.

Thanks, that sounds ok, but not sure if it's worth the additional $5 to double dip
