Okay, I just got back home and my Steam client is showing that I only have TF2 installed. It's the only game I have installed on my SSD/C: drive. All other games installed on my HDD/D: drive are showing as not installed.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

EDIT:

Hmm, looks like my D: folder is missing from the Steam Folders setting in downloads.

Machine for Pigs is $4.59 for another 6.5 hours. Was it anywhere as good as the original?

It's not like The Dark Descent at all! It's less about scaring you and more about story and atmosphere, so don't go into it expecting Amnesia 2! It's a really good game, but it's not supposed to be scary like the first one, even though it is definitely creepy at times.

Just create a new location for that drive but put it to your old folder. Should refind everything.
 
Who should we talk to about getting a Dead Rising 1 port?
Common sense would say "any public figure from Capcpom."

Reality dictates "don't bother they'll never ever allow it."

I am sure MS has some type of rights to that game since it never released outside of the 360. So probably Phil Spencer. Also he needs to be asked about Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon ports for Steam. MS is bound to stop supporting the 360. No need to bury all those good classic games with it. They shall forever live on the PC platform.

:p
DR1 released on Wii and iOS, more or less. I'm sure Capcpom could port a proper version over to PC if they wanted to, but we're talking about a company here who did not feel inclined to do so with their one of their all-time most expensive projects (Dragon's Dogma) either, after all the pre-release flaunting they did about that little factoid.

No, I thought it was really poor in the end.

Think Dear Esther but less scary and shorter. That isn't really accurate, but it is a lot closer than thinking about the original.

That is disappointing, especially considering it's predecessor.

So, how do you change the native language of the web browser steam store?

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.
Ah, so that is the true function of idlemaster. jshackles you magnificent bastard.

That version is in beta since I'm trying to get it to run on the 3DS and it keeps crashing. So far the only success I've had is that it will occasionally drop Kid Icarus AR cards.
Obviously, I'm kidding.

This is a very nice thing you're doing.

Thanks! Any way you guys can get the word out on this would be great. I did the marathon last year and had a lot of fun and raised a few hundred dollars. This year, especially with the prizes up for grabs, I'm hoping to raise even more.

We'll only be able to donate on the day of the stream?

You can donate any time! :) If you leave your Steam profile URL in the donation comments I'll get your badge to you right away. The game prizes will be distributed after the live-stream is over.

I wouldn't say that! The narration in Dear Esther seems to be a bunch of random lines triggered as you walk across the island. A Machine For Pigs sets up nice scenarios to show you the story piece by piece, which I thought was really cool! Definitely not for everyone, though!

There's also some puzzles and hiding, so it isn't exactly like Dear Esther.

Yea I don't know whats up with Dragon's Dogma. I've honestly never heard of the game until I read about it here on GAF not too long ago. Looked at some gameplay footage and it looks like a ton of fun. Kinda of a surprising head scratcher to why they didn't release it on PC. Hopefully they do in the future.

You bought one of the best 3DS games.

Personally I'm looking forward to Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call next week. I probably put more hours than I care to admit into the original
>100

Oh yeah... Steam things and stuff.
 
After finishing Crysis 3 and liking it much more than I thought I would, time to try Mediocre Third Shooty Game 2 -

Lost Planet 3 I'm looking at you. Let's do this.

Am I the only one who like Splinter Cell: Conviction?

No. And Blacklist was one of my favorite games of the last few years too. Under appreciated., the both of 'em.
 
it's gonna happen soon.
lol. apparently Singapore Steam Store is gonna change its currency to SGD (and will factor in GST and all that...) - thankfully, my Steam acc is US.. ><

I must say I'm curious (and a wee bit unsure) as to what would happen if we vote yes in that regard, wouldn't like it to cause us to be screwed over by region lock in some way.

End of october, maybe.


Never played it.
I heard it was axed more towards shootbangs than stealth or something?

Yeah they geared it more toward the action crowd. But there is still a good amount of stealth in it. Honestly I think before Blacklist. It was the Splinter Cell game where the gameplay was easy to understand and control. They really streamline the gameplay. Of course they built upon that in Blacklist, bringing back some of the classic stealth mechanic while keeping the action crowds happy.

I loved Conviction. 9/10 would play again on PC.
 
NA codes for the demo.

I just hated the grey filter. It killed a lot of the ambience that I was expecting.

Huh.
Might need to get that... sometime, then.
The last one I played was Chaos Theory.
