Actually on second thought I'm going to host a Hoard and Magicka 4 pack later this afternoon/evening. If you're interested send me a PM and we'll work out the details when I get back.

Picked up Bioshock 2. I enjoyed the first one and even without the DLC I'm sure I'll enjoy this one as well.

Don't let that shit go. You have the email proving you purchased the game, take a screenshot of your library list, not that they need it if they have your SteamID from your purchase but do it to be exhaustive, show them the missing entry in your game list. Be firm, be friendly but be firm. You bough that game, their system fucked up, they should be bending over backwards for you.

todays deals are good but shit I just bought darksiders for $10 on ps3 a few days ago. Will get AVP & Bioshock 2 for sure though. I didn't even know Fable 3 was out for PC lol

Just bought PvZ and Magicka. I can't play Magicka until I build my PC though lol.

On that note: pretty much anyone who hasn't bought PvZ yet should probably do so. I haven't seen it mentioned much today, probably because it's simply presumed that everybody has that game on one platform or another by now... ;p
It's a great, great game. You are bound to get your money's worth for that price.

It'd be nice if you could link your Live account to Steam for achievements for Xbox 360 games like Bioshock 2 and BC2. I want the achievement unlocked pop up on my monitor
MatthewB92 said:
Good choices. PvZ was one of the only modern games that would run on the old as dirt laptop I used to rely on for my PC gaming needs. It's a really neat game, though. Popcap are one of the few devs who do the whole 'fun for everyone' thing right.

But you can. Well for Bioshock 2 at least, it's a GFWL game.Meus Renaissance said:

Vague achievements = bullshit. I don't know if I'm going to bother with the SMB one.
Edit: Ahhh wait - I just got it! Ha!

It's an Iranian developed indie game. I've been curious about it since it came out, at 2.50$ I might get it simply to see what it's like.

but its nice to see they will probably make it in the main sales
Me too, actually. Those were really great last-minute impulse buys last time around.
I'm new to PC gaming and have a question: Fallout: New Vegas requires a minimum of 2GB of RAM in order to play, and while I have 2.7 my task manager usually says I am using around 1 GB already, which would mean I have only 1.7 GB available if I play the game. Is that how it works or do all of the background programs stop working when I play the game in fullscreen?

Is there any friggin' save system? It doesn't look like the checkpoints save any of your progress when you quit. And fuck the keyboard controls.

For those who want the Firecracker achievement/ticket for Spiral Knights:
I have three extra Firebrackers, however the achievement is broken right now. I'll get on later and give these away once it's working. I had a few thousand crown and don't really play anymore, so it's yours if you want it.

The Jolly Rover one is easy - you must be at the scene after pup has already tricked Melvin and already talked to the bulldog and is supposed to wake Pete. You have to get the rum (used to wake up Pete) by making the chef slip overboard. It's early in the game (essentially the second scene) so there.

That's 10x my max speed even when the servers are good, so er, I hate you I guess.ciaossu said:I was getting barely 200KB/s last night, but my speed is fine right now.
Excited to play it!

What are some must have PC games on steam (apart from HL series, Portal/2).
I am trying to make my wishlist just in case...

Not sure if anyone else has posted this, but here's how you get the Jolly Rover Achievement. It should take less than 20 minutes, especially if you read below:
Once you get past Melvin and go upstairs for the first time go to the Kitchen on the left.
Pick up the peppercorn from the cupboard on the left.
Pick up the dried fish on the hook nearby.
Use the oiled scarf on the window to the far left.
Put the dried fish on the hook near the window you just oiled.
Open the window.
Put the peppercorn in the spilled Rum.
Open the window again.
Done!

This. I don't like the low res cutscenes (except almost 95% of all PC ports are like this, what can you do) And its missing some important graphics options, but that doesn't matter because you can force AA and AF without any problems.
I was shocked to see at least 2-3 people say they were glad to drop it for the console version. I can understand if you have an older PC, and no controller to play it on but..

This is where they'll lose ground to competing DD services. EA's customer service apparently kicks the living shit out of Steams according to Loving

Haha, pretty much. I sync at 6~6.5Mbit, but I'm lucky to get over 500KBps with Steam.

Indeed. As for the bold, I'd use the Citizen Kane clap gif that is always used incorrectly if I had it on hand.
In fact, you could say the erroneous use of said gif has become a meme in and of itself.MrNyarlathotep

Jolly Rover - Bon Voyage
Just play the game from the start, you'll get the achievement for getting the rum you need (this is actually a subquest called 'Get Rum') and watching the cutscene thing.
It'll take you about 15-20 mins or so if you've never played the game before, probably much less if you just use a walkthrough.
EDIT: Ninja'd :|

If I buy bioshock 2 off steam can I buy minerva's den elsewhere or would it not be compatible?

Got my TF2 Sunglasses, my Portal Scuba Gear and now Alien Breed 2.
I still have a whole week left, and already am almost at 4 prizes. Has Valve said if 4 is the maximum number of prizes?

I shaved some seconds off (500 total seems to be right) and I got the achievement the next time I launched SMB.
