Since a lot of people here use this...

Steam Idle Master 0.9 has been released. This version should automatically update for those that already have 0.8 installed within the next 24 hours. A "portable" version is also available for download from http://www.steamidlemaster.com.

Here is a list of the changes that have been made in this version:
  • Fixed an error that could be thrown as the result of the Steam API not responding to appdetails requests.
  • The program will now detect if the badges page fails to load for the user, and will retry every 10 seconds until the page loads.
  • An option was added that allows the user to ignore the Steam client status. This is useful for users who do not run both Idle Master and Steam as the same Windows user.
  • Idle Master will now “time out” after attempting to save your Steam information for longer than 30 seconds.
  • Fixed an issue where the timer could potentially get stuck at 0:00 which caused Idle Master to stop working.
  • An option was added that when enabled will show the logged in user name on the main form.
  • Added global blacklisted appids to prevent games like the Summer Sale app from attempting to idle
As always, please let me know if you encounter any issues with this release.

So just to get this right. Day 1 Milestones will expired tomorrow right? so I need to get it now?
Click to expand...

The milestone won't unlock until the store updates in 11 hours. That's why the game as a whole ends on the second-last day of the sale.

How many cards are we supposed to get from that clicker game? I was under the impression we got at least 3 pre day and I've been stuck at 2 for hours.

I wish there were actually interesting discounts from the monster game. If 20% off gtav was a reward I'd care a lot more. As it stands I'm just clicking when I have nothing better to do.

It is 3.

Over a 24 hour period, that is.


E: Oh, so fast you are. :p

Outlast. Right. This has been sitting in my wishlist for nearly half a year now, and I'm still not sure. Is it worth even 5? Is the AI well done enough I'll want to quit early from fright?

The oddworld games are 75% off btw if you didn't notice like me because you looked at the 40% on the new one and laughed it off.

Guess I'll grab munch and strangers wrath

4 Oddworld games separately is cheaper than the bundle.. wtf..
Click to expand...
Funnily enough they were cheaper last week (the Oddbox was half of the current discount price!), which is when I got it.
They did the same with the M&M deals, the franchise pack was 75% off yesterday as a midweek madness, but as a daily deal it's only 65% off (and thus about $10 more expensive... which annoys me, as I was going to buy it yesterday and then forgot D: )

Rhaknar said:
So it's broken then, thought so

KOF games, let's go 2002 75%

Edit: oh shit it's 80%

Yep, that triple pack is so bought.
All I want now is 2003 pls

Got an extra KOF 2002 gift from the 2-pack. $2.50 PP friends for it.

Also I've been playing that monster game for the majority of this night and I haven't gotten my third card drop yet.

Atlus USA is publishing the newest title from ACE Team (Zeno Clash, Rock of Ages, Abyss Odyssey) called The Deadly Tower of Monsters. Coming to PC (and PS4). Here's a trailer. Loving the cheesy sci-fi theme and the fact ACE Team continue to make games you don't normally see.

Is Jurassic Lego going to be coming out today? Wondering how it'll portray some of the more gruesome stuff. Hoping for lego legs getting torn off.

Any impressions? And what is the cheapest place to grab it? Will it appear on Nuuvem?

Also, did they finally stop taking effects out of the PC versions? Gotham 3 looks pretty good so I assume so.

I want to play it, but will wait until I see the movie to avoid spoilers :p

I think the cheapest place is BundleStars as it's $24 there, and Nuuvem doesn't seem to have WB games available to purchase (have been like that for a couple of weeks).

PSA - Summer Monster game: using autoclickers may get you VAC banned.

Huh.
Click to expand...

Given that the game is a temporary event and doesn't confer any rewards beyond the card drops (which everybody who runs the game daily receives regardless) and game discounts (which are basically Flash Sales and therefore are available to all), I think it's more likely that people are being slapped with a ban for something they'd done in the past (VAC bans in waves) and are incorrectly deducing that it is in relation to the meta-game.

Hey now, I posted a small multiquote post a couple of pages back :p

The reality is that except for a bit today, due to an absurd excess of work I have had no life, and thus no time to read the Steam threads and post properly ;_;
I won't lie though, these short posts feel... inadequate.

Yeah, one user isn't enough, just bringing it to attention. Unless there's more I doubt it's true.

Are Magicite, Halo: Spartan, or the Van Helsing games worth anything?

Btw, I already own Van Helsing and one of its DLC, so I'd be buying the additional DLC, and Van Helsing II and its DLC. III is kind of pricey so I'll skip that.
