It certainly does! We're actually putting in default German grammar basics now (and Korean...and Russian...and Chinese...and Japanese...and Portugeuese...and...agh), though it's got some quirks. We're trying to decide between "Auf mein zeichen" and "Auf mein Befehl"...the former seems to have some connotation of being very visual/in person.
Woooo lunacy!
Zero.
Zero levels of broken.
Son I wouldn't make an entire goddamn game around voice commands unless they goddamn worked.
Please, please, please add a DLC/copy protection feature/option that will have the game intentionally misunderstand voice commands.
Just for the kick of it (also, would make a great party game).

I've had about 3 or 4 in the last few days posted to my profile. One was the typical Level 0 private account, the other seemed like genuine accounts. Level 10+, one was L22 and had 100+ games. I assume these were already compromised accounts? The only common factor I could find was that someone on my friends list was on theirs. So I imagine they gain control of an account and automatically spam everyone on the friends list, then everyone on the friends friend list etc...
This is actually hilarious.
How do companies actually do this? Do they just check if the Steam CEG goes through? Because that's easy enough, but anything more sophisticated I probably can't manage. = P

Mine was buying MW3 with full price.
I have no idea, sorry. Most probably CRC32 check on the executable + other things.
Would still be great to have an option for regular customers. I've always wanted to try that pink scorpion from Serious Sam or eyepatch from Alan Wake.
That reminds me I bought Blops II full price. That was bullshit
I also bought Disgaea 4 and P4G mere days before they went on sale for 40-50% off, but they're good games and I never expected Sony to even discount them

At least it's not MW3.That reminds me I bought Blops II full price. That was bullshit

MW3 had servers in SEA
The nearest BLOPS II server was in Japan / Australia
That was bullshit

Now own a 1 TB SSD. So glad the day has finally come when they aren't absurdly expensive. 300 dollars!

If you're feeling alone in your infatuation, might I suggest Emma Watson?

Hey that's part of your GAF identity and nothing too out of the ordinary, certainly better and no where near as weird than having a CEO of a technology company shopped into a comedy image as your avatar. Just as long as you don't go John Hinckley levels of crazy and try to off Tony Abbot although you might be dubbed as a national hero.

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.
I'm glad to hear that you like it! I'm a huge fan of tower defense and I think I have to agree with you when I say it's my favorite. It's certainly the one I've played the most of on Steam. It does take some patience, as my only complaint is that it gets pretty "grindy" towards the end of the campaign, but it never really feels unfair in the sense that you always get stronger the longer you play it.
It's crazy to think that it was in a few bundles! It's holds the honor of being "my most-played bundle game" at 35 hours. Even after all that, I still feel like I could jump in any time and continue on, so I'll echo your recommendation to anyone who enjoys a good tower defense game.

I'll add this one to my list of games to bring up at some point.
Meanwhile in Alphadia Genesis I found an arena to test my skills, oh joy. All my brave investigators were dead by the third round of lowest tier... to be fair, I was severely underlevelled for this trial, but I will be ready today or tomorrow, just you wait the Knight round!
Also I concur, Prime World: Defenders is great. I even tried to tell steamgaf how good it is two years ago or so, some believed, some not. It's nice to see it get some recognition finally.
bbbbut DOS is old school too!

This might be a bit controversial but I don't feel the hype for Pillars of Eternity.

if anything i feel like it'll be more modern because it seems like it'll have actually a decent interface and user experience streamlining

i have 600 zooey deschanel pictures and 2500 league of legends fanart pictures

Too far in the opposite direction.

Why is there a hype train for the Win10 event?
People miss GFWL, I guess.
I mean, that was one of the best DRM solutions out there, such a pity it lost to vastly inferior Steam DRM.
Hahaha oh come on zkylon.
Alright here's a brief break down. So I find it more rational and far more healthy to sport an avatar of some you admire who works in the entertainment industry, who primarily entertain you, than one of a CEO of a company who's main function is to keep their company profitable. Now of course obsession can get to some crazy levels and in the case of John Hinckley Jr. who was a tad besotted with Jodie Foster after seeing her in Taxi Driver (which is a bit creepy as she was about 12 then). After sending her countless letters and getting ignored he then attempted to assassinate the US president of the time, Ronald Reagan, which I've paraphrased in mentioning the current Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbot but he's not exactly a popular fellow with some hence why I said that might be an act some might see in a different light.
So you're either a little more knowledgeable or I've just bored you to tears.
some new greenlight additions
That's interesting colour scheme at least, also looks like a fun blast from the past
this looks interesting too, reminds me something though, can't remember what

I mean for Xbox fans there might be some good stuff in there, but PC fans?
Best case scenario? Another Windows version that doesn't remove the ability to run Desktop/unsigned executables.
maybe a bit of both <3

Are there more, as of yet unannounced games, are being planned for release on Steam from your end, you know to look forward to?
Cuz I'd love to see El Shaddai on Steam, if only to get rid of my retail PS3 copy lol

Sony and Nintendo shouldn't be the ONLY ones to have Hype Trains, cut MS some slack yo.
My area is getting fibre so he can stay or go for all I care.
Still waiting and it's looking like 2018 here. It's a ridiculous situation as the government is giving grants to councils who primarily have poorly connected rural areas but to qualify they have to have a certain number of dwellings per telephone exchange to be considered which puts me shit out of luck as we're not near another an exchange in a profitable area or in an area considered to be entitled to a grant. My phone is faster than my fixed line broadband.
There's a train of hype for anything and everything now. It's only going to lead to disappointment.
Hahaha, touche.
Mark Russinovich's junction works fine for me.
Especially if you use Total Commander - you can set it up as a custom command.
WIN 10 gonna blow everyone out of the water man when you see what Phil Spencer has cooking you will be utterly flabergasted! The Microsoft team have worked extra hard to make sure PC Gamers are well taken care of. Microsoft has the power and tenacity to finally do what giants like EA or UBISOFT have failed--take down Valve. Soon we shall all rejoice at no longer being held hostage.

A vast majority of communication in any visual medium (film, art, games) is done through 'visual shorthand' like this [same in 'real life', too, really].
I put about 10 hours into it earlier this week. And... I'm going to have to disagree. My issues:
1) TD wise, it owes a great debt to Defense Grid. Now, it copies stuff extremely well, and does it well, so that in and of itself doesn't bother me.
but...
The card stuff, while cool at first, soon breaks the game. It's a ridiculously grind heavy. It also has your standard 'two currencies' [silver and stars] found in many f2p games, and while this isn't f2p, it's got all the same issues.
For example:
In order to ever upgrade a tower in mission, you need to find at least two identical cards to 'evolve' them. I've played dozens of games, and think I have three dupes to show for it, all of them useless.
However, you can also slightly upgrade towers outside of missions too. (Separate from normal tower defense upgrading). This will eventually cost a fortune.
I played the same damn mission (about 5 missions in, when you have the option to do the challenges) around 30 times... the same exact grind, over and over, just trying to earn cards to level up what I already had, or maybe get something useful.
I mean, sure, I could spend all that silver evolving and fusing my slow tower, but the slow tower is actually a fairly bad tower and I'd be spending time grinding tons of cards/silver just to get it leveled. So instead, you end up grinding hoping to get a good rare (or unique) tower. So you just keep doing that 75 wave mission, over and over, hoping for some extremely rare card to drop... and even a rare card might be useless to you. Heck, even if you get a rare one, you need to get another one just to fuse it.
At this point, I googled it... and guides actually recommend playing this level over and over and over to upgrade stuff so that you have a fighting chance later.
I ended up getting extremely lucky, and earning enough stars to buy the 'unique card pack' and getting 2 awesome towers (dragon and ice) but i did some research and many people spend those hours earing those 20 stars then buy the pack and get absolute trash. I then spent hours just trying to earn silver to buy arcane packs to level up my dragon tower.
I quit in frustration. it's just such a grind. And I can't even level my dragon tower in mission till i find at least one more. Ugh. What's hilarious is my level 5 'wooden tower' that I fused to be able to upgrade to level 2 in mission (the tutorial fuse) is more poweful than my 'unique' dragon tower that I spent hours grinding up to level 12 or so. In all that time grinding, I never saw another dragon tower or wooden tower to fuse. Not even one. And even if i did? I'd have to win the stupid card draw game and risk not getting it.
Give me Defense Grid any day. Prime World Defenders is definitely a great tower defense game in the same way, but the dual currency upgrade system kills it.
A good TD game needs to be balanced. But how can you balance a TD game against that card upgrading system? Does the player still have level 1 cards that can't be upgraded in mission? Or do they have level 25 unique cards that have been fused 5 times and do exponentially more damage for the same placement cost? And since level 1 cards are trash, you first need to grind to get useful cards, then grind to get them to a reasonable level. And if you weren't grinding uniques, you'll need to do it all over again when you finally get a unique.
Didn't last night for me was really needing to get sleep but wanted to get one more level 100% in before I hit the hay, ended up messing up 5 times just because I was tired and was trying to get through it, ended up admitting defeat...sad times...
Ouch that's nasty.
There's only two games on it I really want, a couple that I'm ok for, a couple that are meh ok I will take a look and one at least is a could I even be bothered putting in the steam key, could end up giving half of it away -> anyone really want one that isn't guacamelee, ascendant, or reaper.

Daenerys as queen and Stannis as Hand, believe!
I really need to get back into Game of Thrones. Kind of zoned out after the end of season 2 but nothing a couple of weekends of box set bingeing wouldn't solve.

Yes there are. Not El Shaddai but we do have some more things in the pipeline
