Does that work with Steam?

Technically, that's not a game developed by Paradox (only published); however, they have come to embrace DLC a lot with their own games recently. The good thing though is that all the DLC (even the non-essential cosmetic stuff) was developed and thought off well after the game was released (see HoI 3 DLC + Victoria II DLC). Thanks to DLC I've got a lot more enjoyment out of Crusader Kings 2 and my favorite - Victoria 2 - then I would have otherwise.

Bootcamp = Install Windows on a Mac. It's as if you bought a windows laptop that had the ability to boot to OSX. So you'll have two operating systems on two diff. Partitions.

Entered, probably didn't win. This seems like a neat puzzle game.

Got it already. My steam is pretty nice. Really wish Mortal Kombat would go on the sale. I mod for Injustice over at TYM and I'd like to get the PC version of MK cheaply so I could start making character alts in Maya for the MK side of our boards.

How is Torchlight 2? I only have a mac...
Install Windows through Bootcamp, problem solved.

So wine won't work?
Sure, It's just a partition on your Disk that is going to use Windows so everything on that part will just be like a normal Windows machine fellow GAFfer.
I was helping someone yesterday with such questions by PM, let me know if I can help you by PM (to avoid going too much Off Topic) good sir.

Anyone experiencing a glitch on steam with the game list category saying"#steam_gaemsection_mygames"?
Oh oh, I wanna play this game too!
Windows' Minesweeper sucks because it's too casualized. Back in the day we played it with live mines, now that was hardcore.

I think it sucks because there is no online multi-player (w/ voice chat) nor is there any day one DLC. Hell, it doesn't even have ACHIEVEMENTS! WTF!?
I don't know about WIne, but in Parallels it's a lottery, as the graphic card is emulated. Deus Ex: HR or Gun Monkeys show nothing ingame, but Alan Wake or System Shock 2 play fine.
Yes, I'm having that and one for non Steam games with the name: #STEAM_Library_Filter_Owner
I don't want these things too.
Hmmmhmmhmmhm
Fellow Mac users, if you're wondering how to use Boot Camp to install Windows 7, fear not. Just check out Apple's official guide in .PDF form or TUAW's Illustrated Guide. You can use one or both together. I found it fairly painless and Windows 7 works perfectly on my laptop. And like I mentioned earlier, games that are supported on both platforms typically run better on Windows 7.
1.50 is another game, then it is worthwhile.

ok cool. maybe its a sign they are finally working on the game library client. doubt it though.
... Please google Bootcamp. As a Mac user you owe it to yourself.
There are hardly any benefits from running games off an SSD. Just install them all on a HD.

I recommend crossover. It's what I use on my Solaris box, and it's as close as you'll get to running those windows games natively. Also has a huge compatibility database of games, and a much better success rate than WINE. I even managed to get Sim Tower running through it - something that Windows 7 couldn't handle

Dust: An Elysian Tail is one of the best Metroidvanias of the last few years. You may have to look past the character art, but the gameplay, music and visuals are excellent.

Just peep that "Under Ocean" game on Steam...Looks very sweet.

I only have 55 friends, we need to change that: steamcommunity.com/id/prophane33
It's certainly worth using in your case, as that's precisely what it's for.
Would it also work for external HDDs?

Has FM2013 been a daily yet?
Man, you are pumping out the giveaways!
Absolutely. Basically, all it does is use symbolic links to tell Windows that a particular folder is in fact located elsewhere.

It works sometimes. It really just moves your game folder to another directory. You'll have to then have to reinstall the game to the new directory. Rather than dowbloading it will say something along the lines of "collecting files already present." Then it will be magically done. You simply perform setup again and bam.
I think I recall seeing it, could be wrong about it though. I have a terrible memory.
whoever wins this is in for a real ride.
I totally saw this in time to get it, but refrained myself from requesting it because I don't have enough time. Someone give me a medal.

I bought it on the 360. Anything new for the PC version besides Hud customization?

Please be me! Please be me! I want to ride a bald man!
So what if i (not knowing about this program) moved some of my games to my HDD (copy/paste) and then uninstalled them off steam. Could this help me reinstall them and/or do you know how to do that? -_-'.
Yes it does, but easily fixable in this caseI don't have the Jedi Knights on Steam, I hope that doesn't make me a terrible person
I want the whole franchise pack, if I can get it for $15 or less that would be sweeeeet.
There is no way the franchise pack goes that low though.

I don't know, I only played the 360 version.
