Let me know if you have any problems with it, and enjoy!

Actually I do have a couple of questions that you or others might be able to help out with, where are these background profiles you speak of? I've looked around and just can't find them. Other question is 'is there a way to see how long you're been a member of Steam'? Thanks.

Like I said, name recognition.

Bully and Dragons Age had the advantage with that. DA had some negative feedback associated, while Bully seemed pretty well received.

At that point it's down to the bigger drop or cheaper price if everything was on equal footing.

Keep in mind, the majority of people aren't voting for the deal they want, they're voting on name recognition (and to get cards)

Come on, SSF4AE!

 

[exmachina64]

Since people helped me, here's a list of mods I found and selected, in order of importance:

• First get DSFix (almost mandatory!)
• Add two HD texture packs - a global one, and one specifically for flaura
• Make the UI and fonts crisper, to go with your improved resolution
• Tweak the health bars to be easier to read

edit: You can also add SweetFX if you know what you're doing - I think it changes the game's look too much, I'd rather pass on HDR but keep the exact colorimetry the devs intended.

edit: For the sake of 'exhaustiveness', I'll add those even though I won't use them:

• Connectivity Fix and DSVFix, which may improve your experience online
• Andres Cranial Ember which tweaks the face textures

Okay, I finally purchased Dark Souls on the PC. I'm ready to give it another go.

 

[Maiger]

Trials and Rogue Legacy sale needs to happen. Take my money!

 

[Acccent]

wait, do I have to pay (register) to download files larger than 2mb from that site?

No, you can create a free account. It's the best site for DS mods anyway.

 

[Cth]

Check your badges page - Awesomenauts has cards now, and I bet there are others as well.

Nice catch.

Wish I hadnt uninstalled it now.. at least it's only 800 mb

Market'll crash by then.

You need to be level 10 to set a profile background.

Other question is 'is there a way to see how long you're been a member of Steam'? Thanks.

You can change your "Enhanced Steam" custom profile background on your profile edit page. Even if you're not yet level 10.

14 cards total damn

 

[DECOY-LDN]

EVE Online has cards now too.

 

[wilflare]

my friend bought Fire & Sword instead of Warband </3

Quite a few games have 15. I think 12 should be the cut-off point.

 

[Clever Pun]

Yeah I really need to set up a way to remotely launch my games so I can start idling when I'm not at home

Ah, thanks! I love the way Enhanced Steam shows the DRM, very easy to spot.

You can change your "Enhanced Steam" custom profile background on your profile edit page. Even if you're not yet level 10.

Ah, I can do it through Enhanced Steam, this is awesome, lol.

 

[Pandemic]

To buy Prototype 2 for PC or not to buy.. Already have it for PS3 :s

Did they remove the exact date you joined from your profile? With the profile update it seems to have disappeared.

Edit: Oh I see they just moved it to the badge.

 

[Copenap]

It's been a Flash Sale.

Damnit. I guess I have to hope for a daily than.

 

[Maxwood]

Specs? Did you have fun building?

My dad, who knows a lot more about computers then I do/did, and I chose the parts, a local hardware store put it together. Copy-paste;
Intel i7-3770K
MSI Z77 MPower
Western Digital 2TB SATAIII
MSI GTX 660 Twin Frozer (temperal, will be replaced with a 770 Lightning when it arrives from backorder. There are 120 backorders in The Netherlands at this moment :/)
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 32GB
LG Bluray Writer (14 speed)
Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced
Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 1000W

My wallet's a lot lighter.

He fucked up

There really should be a more modest cut-off point.

To buy Prototype 2 for PC or not to buy.. Already have it for PS3 :s

Price seems a bit expensive, the port might be horrible as well.

 

[chugen]

starting to get drunk just before a sale is really really really not a good idea.

 

[JaseC]

Yes, that info was moved to the YoS badge description, which you can set as your featured badge if you so desire.

 

[Pops Maellard]

Someone overwrote my Steam password in my onenote, which was only there because I reset it last week and was trying to memorize it after someone tried to gain access to my account. Is there any way to reset your password without your current password? I'm fine with my market privileges being revoked for a few weeks or any other issues that may arise as a result of this, just need to be able to reset my password.

 

[YianGaruga]

Got Fallen Enchantress and Van Helsing.
Why the hell not. There's nothing else good to spend money on.

I would recommend waiting on the 770.

The 700 series is a stop gap for Nvidia, they aren't all new cards but refreshes. Wait for the 800 series, a 660 will give you more than enough power to get there.

Haswell CPUs are a stopgap for Intel as well, wait for Skylake.

 

[SmarterUnconscious]

I love my Super Meat Boy one. It's pretty creepy.

haha nice steam avatar.

Valid points. Money saved. Thank you!

I'm waiting do to it after seeing today's deals, then I can drown in disappointment or beers of joy

+1

Or get a 7950 like me?

 

[Veezy]

Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes is exceptional. You should play it.

You can reset it via e-mail if you know your account name, or using a game key if you don't.

I love my 7950, best GPU I've bought in years

Skylake is a long way off. Haswell refresh next year, then broadwell, then skylake. Not that I would recommend Haswell to anyone. It's shit.

Well he should probably wait for the 9000 series, which comes out by the end of the year.

A 7950 should be able to get you through this generation, its twice as powerful as the GPU in the PS4.

 

[r3n4ud]

I've been preaching this for awhile now

Played Sleeping Dogs for the first time. My god, it's so beautiful on high settings :O

the first DA? I know the 2nd got crushed, but pretty sure the 1st was WELL received.

one of the most impressive games besides Tomb Raider (though I gotta say TR looks better)

 

[chugen]

the tears of joy really add to that moment

 

[cebri.one]

Preparing myself for dissapointment.

OT: Is the "who quote me" feature gone forever?

Yep, I was just throwing out the 7950 because it's a good alternative to the 660 and will serve the same purpose of making it through.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Well, I bought TR too, so I'm in for a treat then.

 

[Dilly]

Yay, Bully

 

[Tom Brohanks]

I hope the Skyrim sale is good. I missed out on the less expensive, but still really expensive DLC earlier.

TR runs awesome on my dual gpu laptop, SD barely runs, which makes sad since my pc is very far away .
