STEAM | July 2014-3 – Let Off Some STEAM Bennett

Status
Not open for further replies.
The Steam Client no longer plays videos and tells me Flash is out of date. Also, I cannot view any screenshots if a game has a video. Flash is actually up to date and looking around there are a few others who had or currently have this issue. There are a few "fixes" out there but no one fix seems to be accepted as working for everyone. I currently plan on waiting a bit to see if it corrects itself but I figured I'd inquire here to see if there is any experience with it.
 
As far as the keyboard situation goes: I got this logitech keyboard for cheap a few months back and it's been really great: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005DKZTMG/?tag=neogaf0e-20

I'd say it's worth it at the current price, but I got it for about 10 bucks in a lightning deal.

I have this same keyboard. It works really well. My only complaint with it is that the touchpad sensitivity is really low compared to my actual mouse. If I turn it up in the settings, my real mouse's sensitivity gets too high...
 
Alright guys, Another gift from moi

I had that for a while, an update broke flash, but then after another update it works again.. Try updating Steam and/or restarting the client.

Magic 2015 and Marvel Heroes 2015 are too similar in name. I'm guessing there's a simple way to avoid confusion, but I'm just going to bitch about it.

Yep using that right now as I travel (since i'll just be playing pad based games).
The mouse sensitivity really is the only issue with it.

Ah, yeah, I can imagine. I use it with a dedicated HTPC and was able to ramp up the acceleration a bit.

twist:
it's not that good

edit:
subject to personal taste, of course :p

no...no it is not (so far at least) :/

It's more of a case of what people are looking forward in releases for the upcoming month, gaffers will give opinions on why people should check out game and tell us a bit about it.

ah I see. does that make the ultra sf4 recomendation the easiest shit ever then?

"yo its SF4 but with more characters, go buy it and be bodied my nabs"
 
~30 minutes left, good luck

Blah the White Wolf seller for 4key Skyrim Legendary and the other seller for the 6 keys never messaged me back :(. Also is there anyone selling keys for ~2.00 paypal that I can get like 2 keys from? Found some guy doing it for 5 keys now. If not is there anyone here from the UK that is able to get the cheaper Legendary Edition copy and I got 3 keys right now I can trade and can cover the rest of what's needed to pay via Paypal gift. Must get Dragonborn (Morrowind) before this sale is up!

err wtf theres 1 game missing, Block Story
 
just found out theres a third Gorrilaz album, my day is now better for it

Yup, Plastic Beach has some good stuff.

Like many have said, it won't top the first two for me though.

They actually released a 4th album, The Fall, shortly after Plastic Beach.

Most agree that it's not great, but it was free and basically just a bonus album. Definitely worth checking out at least.

Then there have been a couple singles released since Plastic Beach that weren't on it. Such as Doncamatic.

RPS take on glut of new Steam releases.

As most recently chronicled by Nowhere Studios’ Burak Tezateser, new game releases on Steam are promised “1 million views on the home page when released fully”. So when a game is released, that row of three (increasingly buried) “FEATURED PC GAMES” will randomly pick games from the newly released pool, until one million logged in Steam users have had it shown to them. According to Tezateser, that takes about one hour.

Great, I was the one telling about Pixel Hunter free keys here, and now I'm the only one that didn't grabbed one. What a horrible way to give keys.

I'm having more fun bitching about it on the group and trolling white knights on the steam forum than I ever would have with this shitty game tho.. so something good came out of it :lol:
