Lol this Millennium new hope game is so cruel. You go into these little turn based duels..and sometimes enemies surprise you and kill you before you are ever able to attack/defend. Out of nowhere just BOOM dead! And once you die this screen comes up....

Seriously? Almost everyone else in here didn't have a very good with RB so I didn't even install it. Hm.

It was a lie, it's really bad :p unresponsive and bad controls.
Though, if you're good at platformers, the achievements aren't really that hard, it just takes a bit to get used to how it controls..
It was worth it to get teh dough.

Might have to look into adding that in. It's tricky, since the Steam market API lists things other than sales, such as listing or removing an item. I'm not sure how Steam handles this, since you could potentially list 200 items, then cancel them without selling anything.

Do those 200 listings count as your limit then, even if you've not sold anything?

Definitely worth checking into.

IIRC I got the tax message randomly while I was spam listing cards, and not after actually selling one of them.
But then again, months have passed and I may be wrong.

I've wondered that too but I don't dare ask Steam support.

Every listed item does and let's say you sold 150 items, you then can only list 50 more.

Oh you. Almost had me there.

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.
No, only sold items count permanently towards the 200.

Thanks for the clarification. Makes sense, but it's what I was afraid of, difficulty wise. I'll take a stab at it, but I'm not sure if all of the information I need is in the API.

That's all I can ask for, thanks!

Yeah, I played it for long enough to get the first two playfire achievements (about 3 hours) but the difficulty swings were just all over the place. So many of the fights seemed designed purely to use the fairy "I win" button, removing any hint of real depth. It's a shame, I liked a lot of what they did with it, their using the main map with jumping and creative secrets was pretty unique for the genre. But the frustration won out. Much preferred Skyborn and Planet Stronghold.

Sweet, got Proteus (the only game I'm missing from the bundle).

Now I really gotta check into that feature request soon :D

Thanks, didn't have that one! :)
Just one weird thing happened. Got a PM that I won Thomas Was Alone. lol. Is it really Awesomenauts and Modbot bugged on me ?

EDIT: nvm, it was Awesomenauts! :)
Yeah, I messed up in my first giveaway, so I guess it affected the second one. Sorry about that! But at least you got the right game.

Hey guys,

So according to the new about Halo 1-4 remake there are chances it will hit PC since Microsoft has not confirmed it will NOT come to PC, they have neither commented on digtal distribution.

BELIEVE IN THE SPENCER!

Oh yeah, just got Age of Empires III: Complete Edition! I have never tried it, but I still have to play through Age of Empires II: HD Collection. :)

Still debating The Stanley Parable (didn't like the demo that much), Chivalry (mindless multiplayer fun), X-Com: Enemy Within, and Cook, Serve, Delicious.

Okay guys, my one and only mission in this very moment is to make my Dual Shock 4 controller work wirelessly with my Bluetooth dongle.

For that, I'm gonna follow this guide, which I also used some weeks ago, but now I'm gonna start from scratch.

It was open when I joined, It also seems that I am not allowed to invite people. Maybe the devs didn't want to get too generous with giving away keys

That must certainly be the case, since I'm in the group and their page still says I'm not eligible for a Steam key. :(

I could finally try those games in coop if they come out, my friends and I never paid for xblive so never really gotten to try the online portion of the game.

Okay, so I have the official Microsoft Xbox 360 Accessories Software installed as well as Scarlet.Crush's Xinput virtual bus driver.

I guess I'm first gonna try out, if the controller still works wired.

After a decade of empty promises and hollow statements, I don't know why anyone would hope for anything from Microsoft when it comes PC gaming. They haven't even released the PC drivers for their Xbox One controllers, they've missed even that boat as most people are upgrading to Dualshock 4's now.

Man, I give up. I can't even get it to work wired in emulators either anymore. I have it connected to my PC through USB and the lightbar is lighting up yellow, as it is charging but that's where my fun ends. :(

Even this software says it can't find any controller:


It doesn't even register my controller when it's connected through USB. I also bought this Bluetooth dongle (Targus), and here's a description:

"Targus USB Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter brings Bluetooth compatibility to your desktop PC or laptop enabling you to work with Bluetooth enabled peripherals. Supporting the latest Version 4.0 specification, it offers ultra-low power consumption with support for Bluetooth Low Energy. Fast data transfer rates of up to 3Mbps help speed up file and data movement between devices, synchronize contacts and calendar information with your smart phone, wirelessly print and even connect to the internet or a network via your mobile phone. Capable of operating within a range of up to 10m, you can now connect to multiple Bluetooth enabled devices, such as a keyboard, mouse and printer to create a truly wire-free environment."

Microsoft is always late to the party though! They're the king at it.

I still believe
 
That's a pretty good dea....

My thoughts exactly. Nailed it.

Nailed it even harder.

Do you have the xbox 360 gamepad drivers installed?

That's what I use. I had it up and running in about 5-10 minutes and my bluetooth dongle is one of the ones that's not in the list so I had to use extra steps. Windows 8.1 -- works with DS3 and DS4, bluetooth and USB.

Yeah, I have those drivers installed already. I'm running on Windows 7.

If I don't get it to work tonight, I'm gonna give up.

I'm trying to think of what could be screwed up... if you want to chat with me to try to figure it out, you can PM me or add me on Steam and send a message.

ugh... I need $0.22 steam bucks to get Cosmic DJ entirely free... and I have a foil card listed for the lowest price... but nobody is biting and I'm out of other cards to sell. :\

Man these encore levels in BattleBlock Theatre don't mess around. You really have to be on your top game to just finish in time let alone grab all the gems and ball of twine.

Just noticed this since I'm busy:



Didn't expect this to be out so soon, but here it is. Flower Shop: Summer In Fairbrook is now available on Steam and is currently 25% off, leaving it at $11.24. It made it though Greenlight, in case anyone recognizes it.



Should probably mention that it's a Winter Wolves game, like Always Remember Me and Planet Stronghold. The sequel has yet to pass through Greenlight.
Always Remember Me was a really mediocre VN. The "relationship" system was tedious and I did not like any of the the four story lines. I will pass on Flower Shop until it is bundled.
 
Yeah I constantly have issues with the Scarlet Crush Dual Shock Xinput wrapper too. I find that I usually have to disable and reenable BlueTooth services and the DS3 service, unplug & replug my bluetooth adapter and controller into the computer, and then uninstall and reinstall the wrapper. It's a huge pain in the ass and I'm sure only one of those steps is probably necessary but every damn time I run into issue I end up doing all of that.
