Do I need to have a game sitting in my inventory to get this kind of action?
Anndddd... Outlast Whistleblower is bought. I'm terrified. Throw me everything but cannibals, this won't be easy :-S
But the base game was so good (not perfect, mind you), how could I say no ?
I think tonight will be some hours of it and immediately after that a good dose of Saints Row 3. If I had a mickey game, I would hit it I think ( '°_°)

Try to flag down Yves Guillemot if you see him outside. He'll be the one talking loudly on his cell phone about revolutionizing the paradigm through Deepak Chopra's Electronic Paintball.
Almost all the friend requests I get are because people really like my Dragon Age review.

You go to their HQ in person and submit a ticket. Easy.

I felt like melting some brains with a snapshot of how I used depressurizer to start categorizing my games...
It's long from finished and changes constantly...
What I really wish for is tagging... like they have on the store pages now. That way I can categorize a bunch of games with MULTIPLE "categories" so I can mark something like Metal Gear Rising as "Metal Gear", "Character Action", "Completed", "100%", "Konami".
Valve needs to hurry up and hire jshackles so he can implement this for me.

I think I'm going to get rid of all my misc categories and just move to:
Finished
Done with but didn't finish
Bundle fodder I never plan to try
Games

Write a support ticket and wait 2-4 weeks. Probably not worth it.
I'd personally rename "Bundle fodder" to simply "Twaddle".

Yep, my Portal 2 achievements are still missing. Got an answer 2 days ago, they would do a refresh, wait 24h, still not there...
I've been waiting 3 weeks for them to fix a similar situation on Lunar Flight. They've "refreshed" my account page multiple times, which, as would be expected, does absolutely nothing, because they can't seem to get it through their skull that it's the differential in update time between Steam achievement and Playfire recording that's the issue. It's a 0.25 pound issue here, but it's the fact I stayed up late working on the last achievement for 4 hours and then their delayed update system (17 hour delay making it show up 2 hours too late) keeps me from getting it that pisses me off.
After you've got more than 100 games in your library, masses of categories is just kind of pointless. The search function at the top is a much fast way to drill down to a specific game and if you want to hide stuff just don't install it and keep your view to favourites or installed.
I've got 3 categories plus the favourite one at the moment, DRM so I know I'm going to have to revoke the activation or I'm going to have to note down how many I have left with certain games, GFWL for all that pain in the arse that is going to cause in July and Finished with a bunch of obvious stuff.
What ever I'm working on regularly or I play often I stick in Favs and leave the rest in the general Games category. Any thing else and I'd just end up micromanaging everything.

How has gfwl->steamwork patches handled save transfers so far? I fear for my Dark Souls saves when the inevitable happens

That seems to happen a lot. Don't wait till the last second next time.

How can you see which games on Steam have DRM, and how can you revoke old licenses? Is that still possible if you no longer have access to the older computers with those games installed? Been wondering about this...
Jshackles is really on the ball with Enhanced Steam throwing up a big red notification telling you if it has extra DRM and what kind. Or PC Gaming Wiki now has the list moved over there from another site I used to use.
http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Big_List_of_3rd_Party_DRM_on_Steam
On the subject of revoking licences it's a case by case basis and sometimes your can do it yourself, others you have to speak to the licence holder and some your at the mercy of revolving activations. The link above will give you some idea of what's what.
You can't. It was crowdfunded a couple of years ago and they closed it off ages ago too. You just have to wait for the full game now.
No that's really the most practical way of sorting by far.

Crap. One of my games has the dreaded TAGES. They make it sound like it's some kind of virus/malware. How bad is it really, and how can I get rid of it? Will just uninstalling the game work? Or am I being paranoid?
I decided to sort all of the last few months' additions (50+ games) into existing categories and it's done. Thus, I currently have 729 games divided into 21 categories. For some reason, I really like sorting stuff like this, it's really calming and that's why I also keep a tidy backloggery profile (although I don't add ALL of my games there, just the ones I play as I start them or those I definitely want to play soon).
Oh, and here's a small quote from Kentucky Route Zero I really liked for some reason. Google returns zero results, so let it be here:

It dates way back to before when the game was released as pre-order motivation, I think they gave it to everyone at that time who had bought a 2k game from Amazon in the last year.

The desert setting and ancient Egyptian motif is a signature of the series. They tried once to change it up a bit by adding colorful levels (in Serious Sam 2) but everybody whined about it not being a good game so they went back to the old ways.

Lol, I love it when people add me just to do this, you got his address, nice

I'm aware of that but the problem with Serious Sam 3 is that there is almost no color anywhere. It's not the desert bits that are the issue though, it's all the nasty city stuff like this
So drab!
9 more days until Wolfenstein!

You eventually get out of the city in SS3, then it looks and play more like the old games.
Still not quite there.
The Tages Protection site says to run TagesSetup again to uninstall the drivers. That's all I could find, but maybe someone here has more knowledge on this subject.

The city doesn't last very long. You'll be back to wide open desert areas and ancient ruins soon enough.

Yeah the city bits are really ugly, apparently that's because they were intended to be used for a modern military shooter that Croteam was working on before it got cancelled and then they started work on the Serious Engine 3 and then started work on SS3:BFE(According to the wikia anyway http://serioussam.wikia.com/wiki/Unnamed_Military_Shooter )
Some screenshots of the military shooter game Croteam was working on before it got cancelled.

Apologies if this is old: State of Decay is currently $5 on the Humble store. This might be its lowest price yet, I think.
May have been posted b4 but lol someone made a TitanFallout mod in new vegas which creates like a robot that follows you around. Looks like the titanfall mechs. Falls out of the sky once you obtain a perk and patrols the area. You can even jump on top of it using space bar and control its big gun. The modding communities for some of these games are great

My favorite games I've played on Steam so far are La Mulana, The Swapper, Papo & Yo, Super Hexagon, and any of the Ys games. But those are games you really don't need a gaming PC for.
I really like RPGs so
The Last Remnant
The Witcher 2
Dark Souls 2 (all the rage)
And Dragon Age: Origins is on sale
Wolfenstein: The New Order
I'm not as well versed on smaller or indie-like titles so hopefully you get some suggestions there too

IT's not worth it -- if you get the achievement too close to the deadline, you're better off forgetting it -- I still haven't gotten the one for clearing Yaiba on Nightmare and I got it 3 minutes before hand. I've decided at this point that it's not worth the repeated contacts to CS for a mere $0.25 or $0.50.
Dark Souls 2
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Spelunky
Kentucky Route Zero, Dark Souls, Dark Souls II, Civilization V and any Wing Commander game from GOG (preferably the first one, though).
