Thanks! According to Google, it's one of the most popular features right now. I'm glad you guys like it and I'm glad I was able to implement some security quickly with Valve's help.

Again, I think getting into discussion about whether it's a game or not are pointless as it doesn't change the value you derive from the experience. You experience it in the same way the you would any game (first person, KB/M, audio narrative) and it's about as difficult to traverse as any Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 level is. The only thing missing are the little ducks that come out on tracks so that you can shoot them at your leisure.

Calling it 'not a game' I think limits game creators to experiences that have a certain level of subjective interactivity. We shouldn't limit these guys in how they want to express their creativity through the medium of 'Games'.

I don't think is pointless to call it game or not. It is not correct to say I will experience it like any other game, the main differences are (the lack? of) interaction and mechanics. Then again, the experience is good but I think if you call it a game a lot of people will be disappointed with the product.
 
Look what I did!

Pixelvision looks nice, but I keep Steam in small view mode. It uses fewer resources that way and I still have my library list. I really only use the client to launch games and the web for everything else, especially with Enhanced Steam doing so much to improve the experience.

Excuse my ignorance, but I haven't been checking anything ES related lately. Was there a security breach? Do I need to change my pw?

There was a bit of a security breach, but the security breach in question only allowed an external user to change your profile background without your knowledge.

Enhanced Steam will never ask for, store, or transmit your Steam account credentials. Even with the new "Sign in with Steam" security mechanism, all of the authentication is done on the Steam servers and they pass along an authentication token. This token is just used to verify that you are in fact the account owner. Even this auth token is not stored in the Enhanced Steam database.

So your password has been and always will be safe from any potential Enhanced Steam issues.

I really enjoy RCT3 Platinum. It gets underrated a bit but old school RCT fans, but you can make some really neat parks in the newest game. Especially once you start throwing in zoo and water park elements. Good times.

WHA... Forget it, Gabe can cancel the sale now. No way I'm buying it for 50 bucks, that's way too much for a bunch of games :/


I paid over $70 for Kingdom Hearts 3D a few months ago...

WHA--

I'm fucking pissed that Euro Trucker didn't win the discount. This sale is turning me into a zombie. I'm legit getting the nods while at work here from staying awake too long for the past 4 days.

Cards.. cards.. cards.. gimmie cards..

Battlefront 2, Dark Forces, Jedi Knight (haven't played much of Mysteries of the Sith), Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy and Force Unleashed (which isn't a bad game), and you call the pack "mostly trash"? That's not cool man, that's not cool at all.


So you don't agree with the notion that Dear Esther is the Dark Souls of artsy games?

Er, no. Don't see the analogy. And I don't think "artsy games" is a legitimate term, I don't actually consider any game "artsy'.

I just gotta give it a proper shot. I'm a huge fan of RCT1 and 2, and I got 3 a few years ago and immediately hated it. Got it again on the Steam sale and immediately hated it too. I'm sure it's better than I'm giving it credit for, I've barely played it :P
