I had that problem. After updating my graphics drivers it worked. Many have had nothing but problems with it though and it seems that ID & Bethesda don't seem to care and don't seem to be doing anything to fix it.

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.
How does this sound?
That is a HECK of a lot of gaming for under $23
Congrats, that was some nice timing huh?
You win!

Cute.
I thought they changed the name to prevent legal action from movie producers of World War Z, and potentially creator of DayZ (although he said he didn't want to IIRC)
Congrats!
How is Rome? Never played any of these games from the series.

Congrats! I hope you enjoy it. :3
The first one.
Inception.
Damn, the XCOM demo is unbearable. I hate when I'm forced to watch unskippable shit, when I just want to get a taste of how a game plays to see if I want to buy it or not. Right now I don't. At all.
I'm hitting Esc like a madman, but it does nothing. Neither do Space, E or left click.
A little advice to any developers: DON'T PUT UNSKIPPABLE CUTSCENES ON YOUR DEMO. Especially when they happen every 3 seconds, like it's the case here.
OK, back to it. Let's hope it gets better. So far it's "Click to Play Cutscene: The Game Demo".

I was hoping this would happen. Cheap badges for me post-Summer Sale!

With regards to Total War, I'd say Shogun 2, Rome and Medieval 2 are the best in the series. Empire had great concepts but was too ambitious, thus it became bogged down by technical problems and bloat. I haven't played Napoleon, so I can't say anything about it.
For what it's worth, my first Total War was Shogun 1. I bought it as a blind buy because I wanted a strategy game and it looked cool. The game was awesome enough for me to hardcore research Japanese history and now I love it. I've played every Total War as they were released (again, the exception being Napoleon), and I'd say at this point, the three I mentioned are the ones worth playing. And soon even Rome won't be worth playing because Rome 2 is coming out this fall. Between Shogun 2, Rome and Medieval, it's pretty much a "Pick which setting most appeals to you" fair, though personally I think Shogun 2 has the most polish. A lot of people complain about lack of unit/clan diversity, but I didn't mind it much since to me, the tightened focus on one culture in a civil war makes up for that. You get to explore the more minuet differences that aren't obvious in Shogun 2.

OP says Daily Deals wont go cheaper, Guess What Left 4 Dead is in the Flash Sale so I guess Itll be cheaper than it was.
Depends on what you call active... it's still active but there are only like 100 players online at a time
Dunno
It ran great on my old 4870 and Q6600 @ stock
You never had to?
Yep

If it wins the community choice, it'll be the same price it was when it was a daily deal.

Torchlight 2 is great value at $5 right?
I don't think it would get much cheaper.

Nope.
Quick note to those unaware - you don't have to be good at poker (at all) to enjoy the poker night games

+Rep to bigwinnerx for hosting the Torchlight 2 4-pack. Quick and speedy transaction.
That the actual game is much less cutscene heavy then the demo from what I remember. Besides the starting area which is the demo and can be skipped in the full game. So yeah if that is putting you off the full game is much less annoying in that regard. They would of been much better off to just toss in a few random levels for the demo.

The top seller list is based on $ revenue, not number of games sold. Currently Kerbal costs more than the others, so it can sell less copies and still beat it on this list.
Also - Kerbal is at the very top of the store homepage at the moment. You'd be surprised how much that matters.
Don't forget 4 pack makes it @$3.75.

Is Swapper worth buying? I remember the Idle thumbs crew being super enthusiastic about it.
I know how the system works and it's $3 more expensive. KSP is an early access game in a niche genre. Clearly they are using it to promote Early Access by manipulating the Top Sellers list. Very obvious.
Yeah, it sucks, man. Here's my experience with it:
However, this actually fixed it. Praise Steam user Sharkfood!

Rome is the standard all the others are judged on. All the other games are basically polished and prettied up versions of Rome.
jshackles thx for the custom background addition in Enhanced Steam, it's great!

10 more Steam keys to give out! Same disclaimer as last time (99% sure that all of these will work/are unclaimed, let me know if the key was accidentally malformed in the process). Sorry, but I've gotta go for a few hours, so I won't be able to make a post congratulatory post if/when everything's been claimed. So, to the people who claim them: Congratulations in advance!
I'll be back with Round 3 either tonight or tomorrow morning!

To reiterate my previous question:
Is Shogun 2's DLC pack worth bothering with or should I keep the $5 for Fallout NV Ultimate?

Seriously, Steam, cool it with the dupes.
3 drops. 3 Owls.
1.) Sell em
2.) ?
3.) Profit.
Yeah pretty much, I had a similar experience last year. IIRC the demo is just the tutorial which is a really bad tutorial by tutorial standards. It's a poor way to represent the game because there is never anything like it in the game after that.

What happened?
Speaking of which, I'm surprised SSF4 wasn't a daily today. Capitalize on all that free EVO advertising, Capcom!
