Really disappointing pricing on the RE5 DLC bundle. Sub 10$ and I would have bought it no hesitation. 15$ for two levels that *might* be an hour long each? I can wait.

Vaguely. Sort of like how Atari exists -- the company is operational but the people you once associated with the label are long gone.
So it's a dude in an office with a phone and a laptop, selling the rest of their crap?

I'm pretty sure Ken Levine is still there.
Expect to see BioShock renamed as Ken Levine's BioShock®.
He's still on Take-Two's payroll but not under the Irrational umbrella.
Is this the entire list of Mantle-supported games? It seems...small. I wanted to try it out but I don't have any of those.

I can't think of any obvious ones missing from there. The list would be even shorter if EA didn't shove Frostbite down all their dev's throats.

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.
So I've been working with IsThereAnyDeal.com to improve the way that Enhanced Steam presents price history and bundle info on the store pages. I thought I'd share with you guys what I've come up with and solicit some feedback.
Currently this feature looks like this (like seriously I'm not sure why the CSS formatting code wasn't ever updated when the store was *sadface*)
It tells you the information you need to know, but it doesn't give all of the information it really could to help people make informed purchase decisions.
Here is what I have now for the same space:
So basically: updated CSS and a breakdown of each bundle tier - which games it contains and what the price for that tier is. This should help reduce confusion that some people had previously (see first screenshot) where they're browsing on a store page like Tetrobot and it says they need to pay at least $1 and that it includes Shadowrun Returns. Then they click the link and find out that Shadowrun is actually $10.
Also, I appoligize that this version of Enhanced Steam is taking so long to release. I've got a lot of major "under the hood" stuff going on with the extension that's taking longer than anticipated, and I've also been dealing with a lot of family issues recently. But it's still being worked on!

Pillars of Eternity --
MB-2DFB3CF4495AC4E5- Taken by ViviOggi. 18 entrants total. Trivia Question: See the instructions below?
POSTERS ARE STRANGE
Here's four pictures of posters you can discover in the first episode of Life is Strange: #1 #2 #3 #4
Each poster has words blacked out. What you need to pay close attention to are the words marked with the color purple. When you find the words "blacked out" with purple (can you say that?!) you need to take the first letter of each and form a name. (No need to consider the order the posters are listed in above. Letters of the name are scrambled.) Then you simply need to figure out the number of the room she resides in and turn it into a Roman numeral. That is your answer. Please ask if there's something that isn't clear to you.
In addition to the 24h raffle I'm going to be giving a copy of Pillars of Eternity to the person who is the fastest to discover the answer and PM'ing it to me. Instead of PoE you could always choose another sub-20 game as your reward. P.S. I'm only going to pay this out after the raffle is finished to avoid overlapping. Also not going to tell to the potential winner whether they got it right or not to make the raffle fair.EDIT: Got two right answers already.
Just reposting this for the last time.
It sounds like Mantle has essentially been dropped.

Trashy trash trash --
what did you end up gettin
Which makes sense, with DirectX 12's appearance. I was more curious than anything, since I just got my HD 7950 back from an RMA.

listen to the mad man
I really hope someone gets this, both to justify your effort and money, and so they can experience LiS, which is cool, and Pillars of Eternity, which seems cool.
Big improvement, will be super useful.

The base of Vulkan is basically Mantle. AMD themselves say to devs to move towards DX12 or Vulkan. Frostbite will transition its Mantle renderer to Vulkan.
To be honest, I prefer it this way. Mantle did it's mission, which is Vulkan/glNext & DX12.
Vendor specific APIs (Gameworks, PhysX, Mantle, etc.) and Libraries need to die. It's bad for consumers, since it limits choices. We need open solutions that can be implemented by all GPU vendors to work equally good.
I don't think it's a secret that AMD wanted Mantle to have more support, however it did succeed in lighting a fire under the arses of Nvidia (DX11-optimised drivers) and Microsoft (DX12's mission in general). But that doesn't really mean Mantle is a perfect portrait of why competition is great; it is, after all, a vendor and, worse still, an architecture-specific API. You can bet your left hand that Mantle didn't get off the ground for any reason less than AMD hoping to follow in the footsteps of 3DFX's early success with Glide.

This giveaway makes me feel retarded, I looked at all of the posters and have no honest idea what word would go underneath the posters. It's probably for the best though with my backlog I'd be kind of scared the game would go to waste. Although it being an obsidian rpg would probably rank it pretty highly. Good luck to everyone smarter than me.
Can you highlight the tier the game it's for is actually in?
actually nothing just yet, but i guess i'll get that r9 280 thing since lots of people told me my psu would be ok
the store told me they were out of stock and to check back with them this friday so i'm waiting for that. i'll go to argie ebay if the store keeps telling me to call again
got a small freelance job to afford the card so at least that's not a big deal
i heard pretty bad things but my friend that likes it says it's pretty cool
so i downloaded it, created a cat race character and then deleted it

The point is to actually find the corresponding posters in the game and figure out the words that way.

Let me see what I can do. Obviously, the "Pay at least" and the dollar amount will change based on the tier it's in, but let me play around with it to see about highlighting it.

Maybe just highlight the game title again in the section

That makes a lot of sense, unfortunately I'm too broke to buy life is strange which is kind of sad because it looks like it's right up my alley. Hope someone wins it though because I applaud the effort for doing a giveaway in this fashion.

So I bought a PS4 for very cheap. Still, I won't turn my back on my Steam games.

SP includes all the challenge mode content, you'll still need to buy Lone Survivor and Crew Expendable.

Nice, I hope you enjoy it. Personally I think running a gen or 2 behind makes for a better experience. Better sales and lower system requirements make for a much happier wallet and there's far more choice and it's easier to find people who genuinely appreciate the games if you want to talk about them.
Yeah I brought that up earlier as well. And sure enough, there are people joking about crashing planes into mountains and remarking about the awkward timing of the sale on the Steam pages.
I assume these deals are worked out in advance though, and it's hard to find a replacement on short notice.
Huh? So what witchcraft is this?
Shouldn't be anything different than your setup. Latest Nvidia drivers (347.88), Windows 8.1 up to date as of this morning, latest Steam beta client and global scaling settings at 100%. Only difference maybe native monitor resolution as I've got a 1920x1080 panel hooked up at the moment but I just swapped back to a 2560x1440 one and that behaves the same as well. Doing nothing more than resizing with DSR.
Well fuck me a 4k monitor might be back on he cards sooner than I thought.
