Praise Gaben! Valve games (especially HL) have some of the coolest soundtracks.

Really would be nice if they could make it so Soundtracks were listed in the Music section and could be downloaded separately from there.

Still requires the whole game to be installed as well, which is what I'm wanting to avoid really.

Interesting poll going on right now at gamefaqs.com :
:/
They need to see the light of our Lord.
But you still need to install game. I guess it's matter of Valve time before it gets fixed. (Music got appid sometime ago)
Thanks!
They seem to be making small steps toward this whole music thing more useful.
Steam will now automatically find your game soundtracks, and you can choose not to download DLC for games. The next thing seems like putting those ideas together and letting us just download the music and having it show up for listening.

With the exception of some bundles (which, in my defence, had some games that really interested me) I generally don't care about +1's either.
The thing is that I played quite a lot of games before getting on the Steam train so I've been getting those on Steam alongside newer releases.

People can always be on different pages with language, and just because some people misuse words doesn't make them ineffectual or something to avoid. Plenty of people misuse color names (chartreuse, for example) but that doesn't mean we shouldn't use them.
It's absurd to limit me from describing a dungeon crawler as a dungeon crawler, or a roguelike as a roguelike, when discussing it with fellow gamers simply because someone might misunderstand it. It's on an individual it up if they don't understand the term, just like with any other word. Given we're on a gaming forum, assuming such knowledge of terminology is more than fair, just like if I was discussing kung fu films with other fans mentioning a film is 'wire-fu' is very informative.
It's neither lazy nor ineffectual to use categories or genres. It's an absolutely natural part of language and communication. If someone misunderstands or is confused, they can be sorted out on a case by case basis. If they need more information than given, they can ask. Even something like 'turn based combat' is broad and lacks specificity at a granular level, but it's 'descriptive enough' in most cases, just like any other term.

Shouldn't be surprised Valve released Steam Music in its current state lol
I think the most likely case is they got a name change. A name change will retroactively change the name on previous posts, but won't change quoted posts.

I really wish the Steam Music Player let me bind my music control hotkeys from my keyboard somehow... it's useless to me without that feature.
There are clear objectives you need to complete, if that's what you're asking. Moreso than Divinity. W2 is a lot jankier than Divinity, but is a lot of fun nonetheless.
If you're on the fence the game is for you.
LMAO... They're both post-apocalyptic, that's about all they really have in common.
A noble effort, in any case. Spread the word!

I've played maybe ten minutes of the game... don't hate me too much.
Media keys work fine for me. Do you have some weird keyboard that uses some special drivers for media keys?
Or do you mean custom key combinations?
It just takes me to the top of the page, his posts aren't there if I search by ctrl+f, so I guess he disappeared on my end :0

Nah, I'm pretty sure the dude got nuked out of existence. Search for him in a thread and find a quoted post of his. Then ctrl-f that sentence on every page of the thread and you won't find anything.
I feel like it's more fully fleshed than Divinity. Divinity feels like a series of combats separated by boring level design, without much to do outside of combat. A couple of interesting dungeons here and there, but mostly not. Sadly, the world interactivity is very limited in Divinity. As well, the world maps are somewhat limited. These issues dashed my hopes of a spiritual descendant for Ultima VII.
Wasteland's combat system is not as rich as Divinity's, however Wasteland has more roleplaying opportunities. That means such things as building characters and alternate approaches to conflicts, and just general gameplay depth as exploring a large, cohesive, interesting overworld with all its sub-maps, finding random little things tucked away in corners or caves, and so on. It feels like more of a world, a roleplaying campaign, and less a series of fights.
I'm not saying Wasteland is better than Divinity. Divinity is wonderfully polished with a fantastic combat system, and its achievements are impressive given its budget. Meanwhile, Wasteland is not as pretty and has some rough edges here and there. I'm just saying Wasteland feels a little more like a fully fleshed, classic roleplaying game, at least it does to me.
Boiling it all down, Wasteland 2 might as well be the lost sibling of Fallout 1 and 2, which I think is great.

Is the Valve Complete Pack region restricted in any way? I wanna pick it up for my buddy, and it's $10.45 in Russia.

First time I'm hearing that all your posts can get deleted when you're banned. What did he do that all his posts were removed?

listen to the mad man
I ... didn't even know that was possible. Do you have his userid? I'll try to investigate.
That is not something that has happened in the past as far as I am aware. It is possible, because Vennt (a former admin) deleted his account fully when he quit, but the posts are still there, just the account says Ghost or something but I'm not aware of it ever happening besides that.
Weird, never heard of that happening before. I wonder if it's a bug. Usually even the worst offenders aren't completely obliterated from existence. Individual posts, yeah, but not entire post history.

Issue resolved: Account was "deleted" by request--I believe it was actually that all the posts were hidden and the account was renamed.
... and apparently I was the one who processed the request, so goes to show how reliable my memory is.
