I wake up and find Steam is not responding or its down. The client and the webstore.
So Origin was attacked by these DERP guys, but it seems Steam was attacked by a different group.
Damn internet warriors. :/

So, I live in Indiana, I went to Amazon and saw the Irem collection for 3 bucks, figured why not. Got to the order page and see I'm being taxed wtf. Apparently 3 more states including mine are now taxed, even for digital goods, on Amazon now. That will stop me from purchasing things there as frequently as I have in the past =x. Still buying that collection though...
I have a 50% coupon for Crusader Kings II good until the 1st of February. I would like a Super House Of Dead Ninja card or two for it, but that isn't actually important and I rather someone here get it than Trashbot.
Likewise the Payday 2 background I still have.
Also, any thoughts on Vertex Dispenser? The demo didn't really convince me, but I still think there might be something to do.

Amazon probably built a distribution center in your state. Thats when they start taxing.
i think they are doing something like 2-3 more states next year. Including Florida.edit: I meant this year 2014 not next lol confuse. Fla, CA, MD, and Wisconsin will all start paying taxes in amazon this year.
Hacked makes it sound like your information is at risk, that's not what a derp was doing (right?)
It's a reference to Sony's ploy when they gave out free games such as LBP and Infamous to those affected by the hack.
Just a DDOS, no information compromised. Basically it's the same as if many more people than usual tried to access the site (so think L4D2 giveaway).
Yep, this, Repeated attempts to connect, until the servers come to a halt. People that do this sort of thing without any motive are little shits.
Those assholes again ... I hope police caught them soon.

Big difference between being hacked and suffering a DDoS attack. Big, big difference.

My secret's out!
I think you are Saoirse using the alias JaseC on the internet, makes sense.
If DRM is Steam, you get keys no matter what.
Valve is being DDOS'd again more or less.

steam = ddosed atm.
Steam and other services are getting DDOS's right now.
Probably has to do with the DDOS attack. It will take some time before everything goes back to normal.
edit: beaten so many times

I don't have those cards to give for it, but if no one else claims it I will take it please! I've been waiting for a sale on that one for a while (missed the steam sale earlier)!
If you drop the "J" and "C", add some other letters, and finally mix them around a bit, you get "Saoirse", so I'm surprised the cat didn't exit the bag sooner.
The labels are worthless. It's not uncommon for a "Download" to come with a key and an "Online Game Key" to come with a download.

Wouldn't all items purchased with Steam as DRM mean it needs to be activated in Steam via a key, or are they using some other system? Now I'm confused.
Too bad. Derpfucks.jpg
I'd like to download Operation Flashpoint (er: Arma: Cold War Assault) but can't because Steam is going down.
It's encore day today

The download button leads to a downloader but I've never bothered to use it.

I'm exactly 50 cents in card sales away from getting CS:GO. Might have to resort to actual money at this rate.
yep, DERP's posts made it seem like a different group/person was attacking Steam.
So it is a dick waving contest between DERP and that guy. Just great. :/
edit: so that guy is not alone, he actually has a partner in crime in DDOS'ing Steam. Ugh.

Balls of sunshine. All of them.

Wisconsin has been directly charged tax from amazon for a few months now... not that we didn't pay taxes before then as you are required to report what you bought from places like amazon on your state taxes to be charged the taxes on them for at least the last two years (the only years I have done my taxes myself)
it was a bit sad to see tax on a digital game though, I know it's not true, but given the lack of a physical good it feels like the government is getting a cut from an idea instead of a product lol.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
