Anyone else just get an "Update News" window popup that was blank, except for a copyright date of 2006?

Steam machines update

Looks like it'll be 2015 now, not 2014 as originally planned.
I'm okay with this. They really need to nail the controller on their first try so if they're spending their time on that then cool. It would also be good to get non game software support(netflix and such) at launch for SteamOS as well. Valve usually likes to release stuff semifinished(but polished) and then iterate later but I feel they need to pack in as many features at launch to get positive buzz on the initiative.

So after some consideration and after a little net search, I've decided that I should stick with DiRT 2 only, it's one thing to have a good selection of racing games, it's another to have too many racing games to play on PC =P
So here you go guys, have at it-

I'm not sure if I finished it, because it just turned my screen all white and then I couldn't do anything?
No idea. In my case it crashed when I tried to watch the credits after beating the game, to get the lone achievement. Didn't bother to do it again, uninstalled it immediately.

I'm happy with it because I want to see the best products they can bring out, but I am annoyed because there is still no info on that Valve Steam machine case. I want to use that for my main rig since I only ever use single cards anyway and travel a lot
I just need a new controller badly

Steam asked me to update twice o_O

When the day finally comes for Valve to hire jshackles, I want to see them announce the event via Steam update box:

"An update has been released for the Steam Client. Jason 'Momoa' Shackles will be coordinating client development as we move forward, increasing stability and providing an enhanced feature set."

Usually you don't because the save data is kept in the game folder in My Documents for a lot of games, but best do what Grief says to be on the safe side.
I just don't know how to back it up? Is there a save file I I back up from the game folder in steamapps/common?

Yeah some games keep their save data in there, some keep them in a folder in My Documents.

I think he just means copy and paste the saves onto a USB stick/external or even just another place on the HDD. In case the uninstall removes the save data (which I don't think happens too often).
 
Crazy idea: can you not launch the game in Steam offline mode and have it work anyway since Uplay is online?

Sure, but I just like everything to work the way it's supposed to. Steam came back in a few minutes anyway and I spent the last hour just chasing down random criminals in the game. Maybe I should stop doing that.
 
Because I'm lazy, here's another small giveaway:
