Fixed.

That avatar makes you look kind of sad.

I was just a little surprised at the initial impression Half-Life made on me, given the level of acclaim the series gets on the whole. I play very few FPS games anyway, but if Half-Life had been my introduction to the genre then I'm not sure I'd have been inclined to stick it out (though I do plan to play it to completion now).

I will be taking a good long break before attempting Half-Life 2, I think.

The same is true of every genre. Well not RPGs or strategy and the great shooters of that era have more depth than pretty much all modern ...

But online card games. So much better these days.

That avatar makes you look kind of sad.

That must have been in a scene where Harry beat Draco Malfoy once again...


Also steam is back.

 

[Levyne]

Hmm. Nevermind.

 

[trailmix16]

Fucking downtime has caused me to drink twice
Gaben, pls.

[Archie]

I just lost a game of Dota because my friend disconnected and couldn't get back on.

Thanks, Valve.

 

[Orayn]

I need to beat Smelter Demon, Steam...

 

[bbd23]

Steam has fallen and it cant get up

 

[Pakkidis]

Question: If you get an achievement when steam is down, will it register when steam comes back online?

 

[FYC]

Bah, I was hoping to play CS:GO @_@ Quake for now I suppose

 

[Levyne]

Yeah, you can earn achievements offline.

It's a reflection of my mood whenever Steam is having server troubles.

What is it with Steam this week being down every time I try to connect

Quick, go to bed so I can play online again. Clearly Steam doesn't like you!

(I'm kidding)

 

[Stallion Free]

Wow, Dark Souls 2 likes to screw me. I can't get all the miracles now, at least not on this playthrough. :\

Were you planning on getting to Rank 3 in the Blue Sentinels? Because the alternative requires multiple playthroughs anyways.

 

[denx]

This is pissing me off. I just got a 50 dollars Steam card. C'mon, let me buy some games dammit!

Apparently you need to go to NG++ to acquire all the spells. Some of the covenant grinds are a real hassle otherwise.

Didn't ask why this is the case. I would imagine in NG++ you just join the covenant and they give you the spells they previously his behind ranks.

 

[Mozendo]

I just went to go take a nap. ;_;

 

[corrosivefrost]

Yeah, I know... but it's frustrating as hell when you're about to finish the requirements to get the Soothing Sunlight miracle and it ends in a double KO. You get nothing and the requirement is now unattainable until NG+. This happened with that damn cage full of exploding zombies that drop the Wanderer gear in The Lost Bastille too. :\

Maybe not as frustrating as those effing chests on the lava in Iron Keep... but still...

Wellager will sell you the Rank 2/3 miracles/pyromancies instead of having to win 500 encounters for each covenant.

One thing that's nice here is that your progress with a covenant doesn't reset if you leave it. I can confirm this for the covenant of the bell at least.

Also your avatar is causing me all kinds of discomfort.

You don't like 774?

No a merchant takes pity on you after two playthroughs and says fuck it and sells them to you. Why? Because From B team is the worst thing on the planet!!!!

In Valve Time, every day is a Tuesday.

 

[crozier]

Seriously Valve, get your shit together. I have a hankering for some Republic Commando RIGHT NOW!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This needs its own thread. Incompetence. There goes my alpha testing time as well as gaming time with my friend who was eager to get back into DayZ tonight.

Do we have a Steam maintenance or down time thread? It's by far the most inconsistent between PSN and XBL. Those 2 services are rock solid compared to Steam.

Wait is the wanderer gear supposed to be special or something? That was the set I

gave away to unlock the shaded woods.

I think I posted there earlier and just now posted there

I was in a different mindset earlier. A little miffed about Steam messing up my planned gaming night now though.

Steam is down and I hate my life.

You do have a point, but that doesn't completely invalidate his either.

What that services that charge you 50$ a year should be more reliable?

 

[hlhbk]

Not really he doesn't. Its a fact of life online services will be down time to time. Everyone should know that before deciding to become a customer of that service. When Steam is down it's not that long its down.

Drove home from work and got rear-ended by some a-hole who tried to buy me off with drugs. *groan*

Now, Steam is down. #NotTheBestFridayNight #RealLifeTalk

 

[IamAwake]

Seem to be having an issue lately with Steam... None of my games launch... They sometimes appear and then crash or dont launch at all. While others are stuck in background processes of Windows... Should I completely reinstall Steam...?

At this point I'm ready to trade a 24 day outage followed by extended uptime afterward for all this up-and-down crap we've been dealing with lately. It's turning into a regular thing now, not just the occasional isolated incident. I'd really like to know what the heck's going on over there.

I'm glad they didn't block using credit with the 20% coupon like they did with the 25% coupon.

Only if you're a masochist.
