Someone once gifted me the game (before you could refuse gifts) under the condition that, if I beat it, they'd buy me Witcher 2.
It was the worst few hours I've ever had playing a video game.
SteamGAF quick question.
If I buy and download a game into my PC.
After it finished. Can I go into that folder. Copy everything and make a backup in a separate hard drive or an external hard drive?
Just in case my computer ever crash. I don't wanna waste bandwidth redownloading everything again. All I havw to do is move everything back over into my computer from the external hard drive.
Is that an option?

I've been off Steam and I come back to the glorious comeback of Team Green.

So Team Green goes from pretty much dead last yesterday to smoking every other team today? Nice!

Yes, essentially. You can copy your steamapps folder and drop it into a new Steam install and it *should* work. Exception: save games, but that's what Gamesave Manager is for.
I don't think it is. Morally it's kind of putrid - frying cats in microwaves and such. That stuff is a bit much. But the gameplay itself isn't the worst thing I've ever played. I've gotten through every level I've tried so far using contraptions that seemed like they should work, and ultimately did.

Team Green Represent!
Yes, until the end of the sale.
Right click on game in steam --> Backup game files.
You can also do it manually, of course.

Ahh, okay. You had me worried there for a second. You're a nice, laid back kind of guy. It'd be messed up if somebody was hassling you over something that minor.
If you were serious, I was going to suggest that you take this opportunity to trim your friends list a little.

Did you get Witcher 2 at least?
this game is messed up
That will be my 1500th game, right on the day where the pink team finally wins.

It's more that it's a 2D game in a 3D environment, so you can have stuff like balls rolling off the level and shit like that.
i bet it was the same guy that pm'd saoirse
who's this mysterious asshole that keeps harassing everyone

Library > Right Click > Back Up Game Files
People are having fun with it. I dont see why it's unbearable when there is still talk about games around.
that's such a team blue thing to say

This also works, and you can even have Steam divide the backup into CD, DVD (or BluRay) sized folders for burning onto discs, in a similar manner to Steamworks retail games.

I wish the Dragonborn DLC price was a little more reasonable compared to the Legendary edition of Skyrim. I'll just skip it for now.
For a penny, I'll try anything. Sounds like a good excuse for me to download Pinball Arcade anyways. Whether or not it works still, thanks for the heads up.
EDIT: I see that it's an advertised deal, no rush at all!

Holy shit. Hahah

As good as it is, I'm still really tempted to stick You Could Be Mine on when running about.
