None of the apps are actually DLC apps; they're all games as far as Steam is concerned, however they have the dependency flags that DLC apps use, so they're functionally DLC, if that makes sense (think DE:HR and The Missing Link). Privateer/Traf's store page being linked to 25939 is a silly oversight -- the way pre-orders on Steam used to work is that you'd buy a "fake" pre-order app that'd automagically be replaced with the proper app once it was no longer private (e.g. http://steamdb.info/app/659/) and 25939 is EIC's "fake" app. I assume they're supposed to link to 25930, which would be an easy mistake to make.

That makes sense. Since it used the old system, does that mean the oversight is Valve's fault? Though I guess it's Paradox's fault either way for not doing something to get it fixed.

if anyone want that disturbing image out of his head,,,here are some way to cure it ( i hope )

As a child, I witnessed french fries gun down my parents in cold blood. You monster.
 
Awww yeah. 888 games. Just as much DLC, ugh.

Definitely not enough game count, right?

I've been actually clearing some stuff out of my backlog. Finished and 100%'d LYNE, on my way to clear Aeon Command and Oknytt. Been picking up the adventure games because I know I can clear them relatively fast.

I shudder thinking of embarking on one of those 100+ hours journeys... I barely have time as it is right now.

You guys and your recommendations in this thread delivered such a massive blow to my wallet that is reflected in my game count skyrocketing since last year! :p
 
Same. That last part is impossible.

They should just remove the last part with the turrets and the exploding things...
I can get to the turrets without any problem, then the chance to make it through there is 20% and even if I made it through, it is almost impossible to finish the next part...

I'm not sure. I think publishers can set a store page URL if they so desire (e.g. Duel of Planewalker's Gold Bundle has the id of 901667, which is obviously ridiculously high and doesn't actually exist).

Someone post some Shakira Roland please.

close, but it's 10038

Sorry, that's my love of hip-hop and lack of knowledge regarding zip codes of NYC showing through. 10304 is Staten Island. :p

I'll be leaving to evo at 3am est : )
anyone esle going?

Lucky you.
If you see jwong, please roshambo him for me.

Same results...

Not sure if it will be the same for you, but with mine, the card where I tried to use it without the right billing address was pretty much wasted.
Amazon tried to charge it, it put a hold on the card, which never reversed, and basically the M&M money evaporated into nothing.
The other time I won, I was able to use it successfully with the correct billing address. I've tried a couple times since to use the original value, but it hasn't worked... so you may have fallen victim to the "I screwed up the billing address on my first win and now I've lost the $6 I won" problem. Sorry. :\

hahah I could make this happen.......now what should i bring steamwise on my laptop is the question..
 
It would slow down posts and make SteamGaf even more insular than it already is. People wouldn't know where to go to ask Steam related questions.

Why, in that Steam "News and Updates" thread MRORANGE suggested, of course.
It's not like I ever close this tab, so you wouldn't be without me -- whether that's a plus or a negative is your call. :p

CSGO was a lot of fun. I'm surprised I actually managed to go positive in one match.

I did so bad today. Deagles are my new worst enemy.

Not really. Sportgaf, animegaf , wrestlegaf ,etc moved to community and has the same flow they had. Its not hard to click the community tab.

If SteamGAF was moved to community BUT the sales threads were still in General I think it would work out. The sales thread are where all the new blood comes from anyway.

I like this idea actually sounds great.

Now I'm just hungry for good food! I was happy with my shitty $5 pizza till now.

Also whats so special about Russia that they get oC for almost half off?

Economic factors. Just about every app on Steam RU is at least 30% cheaper than on Steam US.

Divinity Original Sin has me completely enthralled, I haven't played anything else since release and barely posted anywhere but its thread.

Anyone that hasn't bought it yet, do it now. Best game in years.

Divinity is too good to stay in your backlog, it's the reason why I posted so little in this thread.

Started the series with Divine Divinity but I was stuck in a house with the door locked(I use the teleport stones). Dumb of me to try that. So I think I'll play D:OS now

I don't think it would be a negative if all of the regulars stayed. I worry more about the thread slowing down to a crawl :p

Or worse, being locked for being too off topic.

Russia almost always has the best prices, outside of a few games. Legions of Ashworld, for instance, is actually cheaper in the US than it is in Russia.

calling this a community, imo, would make it so new people would feel left out already.

Would not affect anything. This is a community that talks about steam games and sometimes goes off topic to talk different stuff just like the other community threads. People comes and go on those thread like any other thread.

Hey man, I just wanted to start things out with a BANG!
I did have the most kills that round... ;)

Let me know when you guys need another player, I'll play with any of you again, for sure.

Side note: I thought about streaming it for S&Gs, but was like "nah, don't need to stream EVERYTHING, right?".
Then not only did I start things off with a bang, but I'm really sad that I didn't get the footage of you asking for Sam Fisher's autograph.
 
you know I've had mirror's edge installed on my pc for ages and haven't even played it. how is that? should I give it a go or is it a waste of time?
 
if anyone want that disturbing image out of his head,,,here are some way to cure it ( i hope )

I got home after a rough 12 hour day at work and this was the first post I saw. Made me smile. Not even sure what bad image you are trying to replace, but thanks for posting. :)

For what it's worth, I've never once ventured into the Community section on GAF. Bad idea IMO.

Agreed. Generally speaking, I think we have a nice mix of on- and off-topic discussion here - mostly on-topic, but with enough personality to keep things from feeling dry and lifeless. If the thread were moved to Community, I think the OT discussion would quickly overwhelm everything else. Some folks might prefer things that way, but I like what we've got here now, and I'd really hate to see that go.
