This is a longshot, but is anyone interested in a four pack for Tennis Elbow 2013? It's 35% off, which is the cheapest it's been despite being over 2 years old. Someone else would need to host it because the game is more expensive in the UK than anywhere else.
Great deal for a great game.

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.
It wouldn't even need to be something as tangible as that, I was thinking more in the way of functionality on the site and/or stuff that's built into the Steam client.
I think it would be great to be able to, for example, compare your achievements between a group of friends. You can compare your achievements to someone else's (one person at a time), but the interface for that is more or less completely hidden. Enhanced Steam adds a link to the activity page, but otherwise that functionality is buried about 4-5 pages deep in the interface. Even something simple, like "Which one of my friends has the most achievements in this game?" page would be nice. As a bonus maybe it could show the top three (if you have three friends that have achievements in a particular game).
Or how about adding something to the activity page saying "jshackles just reached 3,000 (or whatever milestone) achievements on Steam!" as an automatic announcement? How about a badge?
There is so much potential here that's being absolutely ignored. I know that achievements are fundamentally broken on Steam, but why not take steps to fix the sort of loopholes that allow for stuff like SAM? That's been an issue for years, and regardless of how the system was set up to begin with there has been plenty of time to fix these sorts of problems.

The game is really good.
Damn, that's really cheap!! So tempted to go for it right now.
While I never played it, Divide By Sheep is 81%off. Seems like a nice puzzler with a good artstyle.

Oh I get you. On a system level they don't really do much with them.
well yeah
by my birthday
barely have anything left to spend them on -__-

like, these games are pretty fucking intense, they could use some sunshine and rainbows

I wish it didn't slip. I'm knee-deep in Mad Max at the moment.

listen to the mad man
One thing I've always wanted to see with respect to achievements is that for games with linear progress, tracked by achievements, it'd be nice to see "How far did my friends get". So there could be a left-to-right timeline of "progress" through the game, like Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, etc. And you'd see your friends avatars beneath how far they got.
It'd require metadata about which achievements are the plot achievements and what order they're in, so I wouldn't expect it to be retroactive, but regardless I think it'd be pretty effort and I think a lot of people would like it.

That's the cheapest I know of, I would hold off though for now. Might be another Mad Max coupon price mistake or higher percent off.

I asked this the other day but still need an answer...
Does NBA 2K16 have any other region locking tied to it other than needing a VPN to buy it on Nuuvem?

Maybe they'd do that with cards. Achievements don't give them money, through the inherent trading process.
At least Valve is kind of obvious about profit maximization without pissing off peope too much. I like that transparency.
No rush, at least until the PC Beta arrives.

I don't think so, neither have i heard of it having it in any capacity.
If it did it would have a warning on Nuuvem's page.
You can also confirm that by searching on steamdb.
There is no separate sub for Brazil, so you should be fine. The only separate country sub I see is for China.

Yep, that's the kind of stuff I'm talking about. And if you're adding metadata for story or completion-based achievements, you'd also have to tag the order of progression. Then you could fix the problem of achievements not activating for earlier unmissable content.
Either way, I routinely open up a game's achievement page before playing and can usually get a fair idea of the process based on global percentages. But having this kind of functionality built-in would be a huge time saver and a great feature.

alright...thanks for answering
It has the whole "not available in your country" (or however they word it) at checkout so I just wanted to check. If I get it I'd just do the regular version for about $24. The special edition isn't worth it to me since it's just a couple of digital items I have 0 interest in.

Second boob unlocks via DLC.
That would be nice to have.
Another thing they would be great if game completion didn't just count number of achievements you'd gotten / max achievements per games.
I completed a lot of games without getting all the bullshit achievements, not to mention that all the older, achievement-less games don't count.
Good idea. Thanks! And no the boobs didn't sway me. Really anxious for the game! Sucks it's not on Xbone cause I would've double dipped.

Sadly but at least if you play the game and know how some of the achievements work. You can see the timestamps and see if anyone cheated. Then again some of them people could have gotten offline so I don't know actually.

That's a cool secret weapon to use at close range.
The end result in WoW is that PVP turned 10,000% toxic.
It's like, the more you try and make everyone 'happy' the harder everyone will try to make each other unhappy.
This is a great idea, and now I can't understand how nobody did it before.

How weird. That's the exact amount I have left in my wallet.
Finished Hotline Miami 2 this weekend and I'm now playing on hard as well as replaying levels on normal to get A+ scores. I can see why the 1st one is considered better than the sequel.
The story was a little hard to follow but that doesn't detract much from the game though sometimes intros and outros should be shorter. While some weapons/masks/dual wielding are cool additions, HM2 is a lot more restrictive in how you can tackle any given level. Masks and weapons are tied to specific acts which gives less leeway to experiment.
Trying to get highscores basically comes down to repeating the level until you figure out the best path to take to get a high combo. Unless there is an easier way to achieve them I don't know about.
The music is still great
Unfortunately since they are too easy to cheat nothing is going to be done with them.
Speaking of achievements, would it be possible to add an option to sort games by completion rate in your games tab in a future enhanced steam update? I'd love a fast and easy way to see which games I'm closer to 100% and see if I want to go for it and complete them.
That would be nice.
Finally I need a little help with a Goat Simulator achievement, BFF. I need to lick a friend who is playing the MMO map at the same time as I do (I realize this sounds wrong
).
I read you can do it without anyone playing but it takes forever for a friend's name to spawn in the game. Only achievement I'm missing besides the GOATZ ones which I don't own yet.

SAM can't do anything with server-side achievements, but they're seldom used and I don't know if it's possible for Valve to push through a Steam-wide update that changes all achievements to server-side ones as not every game that supports achievements uses CEG ("Steam DRM").
As many suspected, Dota 2 moving to Source 2 means an OpenGL renderer for Windows.
Edit: Bah, forgot to switch tabs.

People were able to enable it with -gl before, like the -dx11 option as it defaults to DX9.

Does anyone know where the Killing Floor 2 level/stats are saved? Removing everything about it from my computer in an attempt to get it to work but I don't want to lose my progress.
Have there been any Armikrog impressions?

Hey this is cool, the Blu Ray that came with my Japanese Special Ed of MGS5 actually has English language and subtitle options. Also a lot more classier than the Western Collectors Ed and doesn't have any silly spelling mistakes like on the 'guantlet'.
There was some crazy on another forum I stick my head in trying to assert that they are one and the same as they both have Patches in them. Of course they conveniently were ignoring everyone telling them he's also in the Armored Core games. Hey maybe Armored Core is a Souls game too

This was announced during a Microsoft event that Dark Souls 3 and other games would launch before Chinese new year (feb 8th). On further investigation the list included Garden Warfare 2 and The Division which are currently slated to launch after February (in March and April) so it looks like Microsoft may have got the information wrong themselves.
They say all three of those games will launch before Feb 8th but based on what we know it may be a mistake on their end.
