I wish more games had cool BGMs like the pop version of Jupiter's theme.
I personally think everything should be sexy, so I have no problem with serious content being presented with gratuitous skin involved.
Regardless, people should generally treat information as information: Most of it shouldn't be trusted 100% from the place you hear it, you should always dig a little bit if you care at all about the topic. Be it from a busty streamer, a skinny pro-gamer, an actual journalist, or the guy with the lab coat who forgot to brush his hair today... doesn't matter.

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.
I'll try not to keep bugging SteamGAF about this but...
I've updated my Extra Life 2016 page with all of the games that have been donated that you can win.
You guys should check it out, it's going to be a lot of fun this year because I'll be giving away the games during the live-stream in addition to trying to stay up and concentrate for that long. There is a little less than 2 months left until November 5th!

Wow you scored some real bangers for the prizes.
Just watched the video. As someone who's never heard of kaceytron before, I got a chuckle out of it. My only criticism is that I think she might have played it a little too straight - might've been better to either go more hyperbolic with the writing while keeping the same low-key, deadpan delivery, or keep the script as-is but go with a more exaggeratedly upbeat, news anchor-ish reading. It was still kind of amusing regardless, and it might've opened some peoples' eyes about G2A, so props to her.

That's kind of a weird comparison, FFVII is way more of a popular well know game than Battleborn, the game might be 20 years old but it's not that old on Steam.
If I read that right they're making the dlc to Bioshock 2 its own thing?

Well arent we specific
Says it in the link that was posted up a few posts recently lol.
So tired of that damn meme.
A scene where the characters are supposed to be forcing laughter is routinely used as an excuse to shit on the game because the laughter sounds forced. Whodathunk it?
smh.
Maybe it's just a stupid scene.
Defenders of that scene seem to only consider that people didn't understand it, or it didn't translate well.
It's also stupid in Japanese.
Eh, I didn't think the message they were shooting for was particularly stupid. And hell, the fact that Yuna was like "you probably shouldn't laugh anymore", then the two of them doing the cheesy fake Santa laugh together and busting into real giggles, kinda sold the whole thing for me. But I guess my point is that even if somebody hates that scene for whatever reason, pointing at it and saying "this game is shit and here's why" is just kind of weak.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I love that the reason it's in the game is because it was something one of the writers was trying in an acting class.
Well, 99% of the people that complain about did not understand it or knew the context, so, eh.
I'll probably have time to watch, if I'm not too busy with classes, so basically I can garuantee I'll watch part of it.
And donated! Looking forward to your stream, regardless if I get to watch it live!
Really hoping to finally upgrade my PC before the next major steam sale. I can't even run Total Warhammer (as I call it) at an acceptable frame rate on the min settings. 
Loved the original, automatically added to my wishlist for the next Steam sale.
I couldn't figure out why Unravel wasn't on steam, then I remembered... EA. I don't mind Origin except that it won't let you backup downloads. If you need to wipe your PC or uninstall the game for whatever reason it won't let you backup to an external and then transfer it back over and run it. It will force you to re-download the entire game, even if it's all there. I've tried everything I can find in their troubleshooting plus searching online, nothing makes it work properly.
I have a really restrictive bandwidth cap so I have to constantly manage my games and not being able to successfully utilize a backup is a huge issue.
Seriously, I pay $55/month for 250GB cap. To increase it to 600GB is $130/month.

So, anyone playing Inferno Climber with the Steam Controller? There's literally no community configs for it, so wondering what set-up people are using. If no-one is using it, then I'm going to start with my Dark Souls config, and play around with the settings before uploading it.
Also, welcome back, HP_Wuvcraft.

There's a dude currently on Steam trying to get me to give him keys to games so then he'll give me the money made off cards.
I'm gonna be rich.
EDIT: Now he wants me to send him keys so he can sell them. Um.....

There was some group a while back that would send you game keys, probably harvested from devs or free game giveaways, on the proviso that you would then send the cards back to them.
WB!
What a scheme! He'll probably make the big bucks if he pulls this one off.
In all seriousness though, welcome back!

She is not wrong
Hey Kacey, I don't have a neckbeard and way to go hitting out at everyone here calling everyone a loser. Class.
I just don't understand people attacking game websites like G2A and Kinguin, aren't they just ebay for digital games? You can also get fraudulent sellers on Ebay.
Some points she made in the video -
- G2A shield that you pay $1 for. That's to cover for a real person to investigate on your claim. Yes its overpriced, but its insurance. If I'm buying a $1 game, no I'm not going to get insurance, but for $30 sure why not.
- Tinybuild and G2A fiasco. Some guys stole keys from Tinybuild's website using stolen credit cards and put them on G2A. G2A asked Tinybuild to provide a list of the stolen steam keys. Without that G2A said they had no idea which ones were stolen (makes sense). It seemed Tinybuild wanted to put the blame on websites like G2A for existing because of the stolen keys. That would be the same as saying pawn shops are responsible for theft. I have no idea if its resolved yet, but again G2A is set up like Ebay so I don't see anything wrong.
- You just have to know what you're getting into with G2A and Kinguin. I haven't had any bad experiences with them. I also sell some of my spare bundle keys there, sometimes I get customers that say I provided the wrong region, happened with a Sleeping Dogs key which I had no problem with refunding. (And if I didn't get back to them within 24 hours, Kinguin would have refunded the customer anyway and taken back their money) Most of the sellers there are legit and have 5 star recommendations. There is absolutely no reason for me to sell people dodgy keys that don't work because I'm not going to run away over $5.
- The sarcastic comments about 16% fees in the G2A Direct program is no different to any retail store.
- They are perhaps overly aggressive in getting exposure with streamers, but their growth in their business shows its working.
- EDIT: Also purely my guess, but the reason keys are really cheap is because each seller is one guy and he does not have a brick and mortar store and he does not have a web presence. So normally a $60 game might be $45 wholesale, therefore that one guy can sell 10,000 copies at $46 and make $10,000. Rinse and repeat for all the game releases per year. The only thing is he needs to come up with the capital (10k * $45 = $450,000), and the risk that he doesn't sell all his copies, but otherwise it seems the digital key reseller market place is quite competitive. Conversely sites like Humble Bundle operate differently I assume they get a bunch of keys supplied from the publisher and make a small amount per key. There used to be a user here called Jack Daniels who made buckets of money by selling heaps of keys on G2A and Kinguin that he got from publishers directly. It was easy for him because he called around to different countries in the EU which all had headquarters and sales targets they had to meet, so they were happy to sell him keys to meet sales targets, sometimes even lower than wholesale price.

That something like this even exists, shows actually that G2A knows a lot of people will come to them and sell stolen keys that might get revoked, so hey. Pay 1$ more to be on the safe side is stupid af.
How can a small publisher even generate a list of all the stolen keys. Its not like they are in a list and afaik they had to go through each key line by line. I mean I am sure it would take more than just a few hours to compile such a list.
And actually G2A, if the guy who sold the keys didnt make multiple account, could easily see who sold all the keys or which keys are associated to one payment method and deactive them...
It might not be you that is selling stolen keys, but still a lot of other people do that. I had Dead Island revoked, because I dont even know why.
And that is sad.
Not sure if posted already (it's from Friday), but might be of interest?

Disnt we have a thread about this on gaf?
I want that for PC. Controller and mouse is like my dream input setup for FPS. I've also been saying for literally years now that someone needs to come up with an FPS gamepad that replaces the right analog stick with a trackball, but I don't think anyone ever did it (unfortunately).
Doesn't the Steam controller kind of do this? I read that it felt like controlling a trackball.
I don't get how anyone can even defend the insurance thing. You compare it to ebay and then ignore that ebay is VERY customer oriented. If ebay started to charge to get customer service that site's rep would be in the shitter too.
Not to mention it auto-enables itself to be a monthly charge. Like how do you even remotely approach Game insurance monthly charges as something acceptable or normal?

The steam controller has a trackball setting for its touch pad, yeah. It's the preferred mode (along with gyro aiming) for shooters, afaik.
