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.
Whatever you bind them to. Jump, crouch, enabling "ghosting" etc. Also, I don't recall reading any impression which said they were problematic in that regard. People only criticized the light, plastic-y build of the prototype and how it felt like it could break when pressing the paddles too strongly.

Well, they've literally been pumping these things out on their in-house 3D printer. Of course it's plastic-y and light feeling.

Wow, what a nice give away!


Anybody knows why Sniper Elite V2 doesn't show up in my games library unless I've installed it? I grabbed it today while it was free on Steam.

a kinder, gentler sort of Scrooge
theHunter has reminded me a few things, I dislike hunting and get no sense of satisfaction or fun from it.
I quite dislike pop-up in games, especially when there is no technical or engine limitation causing it and rather just poor development in a title. A tree shouldn't just suddenly pop up out of the ground ruining a shot simply because I walked a mm forward.

Anyroad, for those that want to try it out and get some playfire credit, it is free and only has the "try for the first time" requirement. If you don't see it on the store (depending on region) you can still get it by typing steam://run/253710 into a web browser and loading it up that way.

Oh my... I just watched a video showing a fantastic technique/exploit that freezes bosses in Super House of Dead Ninjas while they keep getting damage.

For those who love speedrunning, this is a must!

So starts me playing Super House Of Dead Ninjas yet again. I love this game.

What are those buttons even used for? I feel like in a tense moment you could press one by mistake.

Whatever one wants as one can bind it as they see fit. For Valve they decided to use them by showcasing them as Toggle Zoom/Middle Mouse and Crouch/Left Control respectfully.
I've seen other examples such as Crysis 2 for stealth and armoured, for a RTS they were Pan To Unit and Pan to General, Mirror's Edge had it be 180 degree turn and the hint button, and others simply used them for general controls such as Push to Talk for chat or Steam Overlay button.

Others simply didn't use them at all and some games of course don't need all the buttons in the first place so they will be unused unless one feels comfortable hitting those rather than the trigger/top buttons.

Awesome giveaway but I dunno if I'd want SSF4...I mean on the one hand I could play online against fellow GAFfers...but at the same time I want USF4 as early as possible...
I am so conflicted @_@

If you're using the Beta Client opt out from it and it will show up

Oh wow, pretty convenient then. Looks like it would have a lot of interesting uses but I still think that it could be pressed accidentally depending how hard the person grips the controller.

Thank you for Bootleg Uncharted! :D
EDIT: I just noticed there is no key in the PM. :/

Thanks for Arcania. They ruined the Gothic series with that game, but I still want it in my library somehow.

It didn't send you the key?
I still have it somewhere. PM incoming.

Give ArcaniA a chance. It isn't Gothic, but it's still a decent little ARPG.

Risen is far better though.

Looking at my friends list many who started playing Risen stopped about 2 to 2.5hrs in. I wonder why? It only gets boring towards the end imo.

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 really wish Google would let me respond to Enhanced Steam feedback like this:

poeple are saying that its a good way to get on steam but i cant seem to find it anywhere and then when i tried to get on it the regular way on the website it wont let me download if im missing something can someone help

Great news today!

Witcher 3 (looking forward the collector edition!), Dead Rising 3, Xbone controller drivers and a splendid giveaway from Terra_Ex - I'm quite tempted to enter for Stronghold HD but I won't :D.

And two friends of mine finally became Steam / PC gaming addicts ^__^

I am.. quite getting there to be happy again! :)

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.

It seems to be a common misconception that installing Enhanced Steam on a Chromebook is a replacement Steam client - that you can download and play your Steam games as long as you have Enhanced Steam installed. This is mostly just a byproduct of being one of the most popular extensions on the Chrome web store.

I even added this to the description:

** PLEASE NOTE **
This extension will not allow you to play Steam games on a Google Chromebook. This extension only changes and adds features to the Steam website when browsing with Chrome.

But people keep leaving 1 star reviews because they can't use it to play Watch_Dogs on their Atom-powered Chromebook.

How much does that level of stupidity make your head hurt, like, constantly?

That makes sense. Around 2 hours in, the initial sense of mystery and exploration is giving way to the frustration inherent in the genre. You have to fight in Risen, but the combat is unforgiving and you're incredibly weak-- no armor, no shoes, no skills, and only the weakest of weapons. Their choices here are to a) master basic combat by being eviscerated by wolf after wolf, b) look up a guide, read walkthroughs, etc, or c) loudly proclaim "fuck this" and uninstall.

I love Risen and all, but if I could go back and play it again for the first time I probably wouldn't.

Edit: or cards. Occam's etc.

It's not so bad really, you get used to it. I just wish I had a way to respond to reviews like this because I feel like it's usually better to educate. Even if that person doesn't get it or understand, it might prevent someone else in the future from making the same mistake.

But then again, I guess if they don't bother to read the description, they probably won't read other reviews either so... eh.

What sucks is that these 1 star reviews get averaged in. So if you haven't already left a review, I would implore you to do so to help offset this kind of stuff.
