You're confusing yourself with your Prey again
Yup, Jase appeared again and clarified that. Thanks to you two. Must have been too much time since I have dealt with steam gift.

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.
Are you using the Enhanced Steam Standalone? If so, you need to update it because they changed their IP address. If not... well I'm not sure what the issue is.

Steam installed on 64GB SSD. Games installed on 1TB HD. Yeah, it's a giant pain in the ass to squeeze some space if I have to preload a game.
Now allow the selection of Steam Library folders in Big Picture mode and I'm happy
Really annoying that you have to switch to normal mode every time you want to download/install a game Dusk Golem

I don't know which Microsoft GFWL title I want more between Gears, Halo 2, and Viva Pinata.
Ah shit, thanks man! Was unaware I had to update.
I dont even know how to do that even if I wanted to.

Viva Pinata easily, there's hundreds of games like Gears or Halo, but not many games like Viva Pinata.
I am still waiting for a decent sale and my two week summer vacation before I will tackle this one.Might and Magic X.
Everyone forgets Might & Magic X

Whynot move your steam installation to the 1TB HDD?
I have a 120GB SSD for my OS and then a 3TB "games/media" drive which is really just a Steam drive. Steam/Origin are installed there and that's where all the games go. :S
Gears, easily.
I don't care for Halo (I like most other FPS games more) and Viva Pinata isn't really my type of game. However, Gears might be one of my favorite TPS games ever... so there's no doubt about what I'd want... it also has ridiculously awesome multiplayer and co-op too.
Incorrect! ^_^

I hate that Valve even allows it, but yeah that's a great feature.
I just want to share Watch Dogs wit my bros you Ubuttholes.
i'm really interested in it but i don't pay full price for most aaa games, i won't pay 50 bucks for a so called indie title either
will buy it when it's acceptably cheap
how does that look when it's like a TAGES game or something? like two big ass red bars? or do they share the red bar?

Looks fine, but personally I'd prefer to combine those notification tags as much as possible. Like, take GTA4. It has three banners right now. This will add a fourth. There's gotta be a way to avoid that.

If people come here again this year with Origin Sales, I swear to god I'll..... complain about it, I guess?
Hey, a sale on Origin just started. At least in Europe. Alice for 2,99€ for example. Amalur too. https://www.origin.com/de-de/store/deals/pages/seventyoff-playerappreciation

Hmm, just got an email from BundleStars about a Paradox sale this week. The Cities in Motion and Europa Universalis III bundles look interesting, too. I hope Warband gets a decent sale.

Yeah, might be too much red.
I guess the color needs to be less "warning" and more "informational". I'll see what I can do.
Yeah, maybe I should just have one banner that says like "Warning: this title uses 3rd party DRM (Games of Windows Live, SecuROM, and Rockstar Social Club)"
Very personal opionion: isn't it a little to big - or, better put, isn't it too similar to the DRM one?
I don't use Family Sharing, and by now I'm used to know if a game has a DRM just by glimpsing on its page, without really reading the banner.
Also, I kinda fear it would become a little bloated, pushing too much toward/beyond the fold the actual game content.
(and also, the "bloated" thing, is something I've noticed in little games boxes, were sometimes the labels "friends have / friends want / friends reviewed" push the actual price outside the box, where is overflow: hidden)
EDIT
Yup: this and this.
Also, you could reduce the size of informational banners, because one thing is the huge, much appreciated, warning for TAGES, and another, very different thing are useful info.
If you combine the warning banners into one, that'd be perfect.
I noticed OldAsUrSock returned to his moustached variant so I broke my rule.
But the DLC is only 50% off.
Yeah, I thought about waiting for another sale, but the DLC has been 75% off just twice over the past two years, plus the game is four years old in August and there's no saying how long the agreement with Playboy is for.
Having all the DRM warnings in one bar would less "noisy".
No one leaves this game planet alive.
Glad you did, man. Out of all your Saoirses (Saoirseses?), that one's probably my favorite, just for her expression.
(This was added to the Groupees Clash of the World: Russia bundle. I really do like the way Groupees adds stuff over the life of each bundle. Gives me a reason to check back in periodically and see what's been added/unlocked.)ModBot said:Instructions for participants:

Oh man, I played Watch_Dogs for maybe an hour or so on the PS4. I hated it like poison, glad I only borrowed it. So amazingly bland and such dated graphics.
A bit of useless trivia on Russian game development: this game, Planet Alcatraz, was based on a scenario written by a guy famous for his parody movie translations (he basically replaced the whole dialogue of various movies, LotR being the most prominent example, and did his own voice acting, all by himself). They were kind of popular back in 2000-2005, although I personally thought they were awful. So it was something of a big deal when it was announced that the was working on a video game, although it was stuck in development hell for a while. The scenario itself was based on a Quake fanfic he had written and somehow published, in 1999. The game itself came out in 2006 and I think it was announced shortly after the book (I remember reading about it in 2001, for example). Unfortunately, the game itself is not very good from what I hear, but does have some curiosity value in it.

I want Sang, but I also feel like the management might get too annoying.
Thanks a lot!
Just the idea of playing a game based on a published Quake fanfic is enough to make me want to play it. From your description, it sounds like it has the potential to be awesomely terribad, rather than just plain bad.
I love development trivia like this, by the way. Makes me wonder about what else has gone on behind the scenes of other games that us primarily english-speaking folks have never heard about.
Sure thing! If you get around to messing with it before I do, post up some impressions - I'm curious now as to what it's actually like.

Yup. I logged 20 hours on it over my Christmas vacation, and still want to go back to it at some point. I hear they've patched in another class and are still planning a whole new campaign.
I like that idea!
I can't disagree with either of you.
Now I kinda feel bad for not picking it up during the Humble sale
Do you know that Marcin Iwiński, co-founder of CD Projekt started out his career as game distributor as a minor peddler of pirated games on one of the largest street markets in Poland (if not Eastern Europe)?
The sign says 'Selling of illegal software is prohibited', everyone was still doing that well into 2000's, barring some infrequent police raids.
