I just noticed this: Steam store page has now a "Videos" category right under Greenlight. Was it always there or is this new?
Are they trying to add video streaming for future console?

I'd like to play it again with different choices, but don't feel like doing it all in one day again. Guess that's my new record
Wait, XI3? Modular Computer? I remember that from CES 2 years ago!

Yeah, they'll probably produce the casing or just handle the assembly.
I'm looking at a release list and I don't see anything until Tomb Raider in March, and even then I'd only buy it in the $30 range on GMG or with Amazon credit and I'd only buy it to see how bad it really ends up being.
Steam needs to step their game up with new games.

Another year, another set of anticipated PC games coming.
Steamprices says you are.
Roll on May 2013!Edit: Fixed link; the AU sub-site doesn't show price history.
I don't know what happened, but I don't feel like playing The Witcher right now. I've been enjoying it a lot, but...
I'm only 18 hours in, still at chapter 2. And it's a great game, I like the combat, writing and all. I don't know if I should force myself to go back to it, or forget about it for a while. I really want to complete it someday.
And all the while, I can't decide which game to play now. If that one, or the original Deus Ex (another long game that I'm afraid will bore me), or Binary Domain, Alpha Protocol or Prototype. Or some random indie game, I don't know.
So many unplayed games, and somehow it's harder to choose than if I only had a pair or two.

I just installed an new ssd and am trying to figure out how to install steam. I have steam installed on my old drive. Now I know I can just load up steam on that drive and it will be all fine. My question is if I can reinstall steam on the new drive and will it pick up the library on my other drive. In this case the drive letters and file locations will not have changed as steam was not on the C drive before either.

Yo, whoever put the collect all figments achievement in Psychonauts was a dick to the max. I'm missing 1 in the Napoleon level and I have combed through the level like 4 times now.
Also, that smashing minigame is assholishly designed too.

First purchases of 2013 was Dark Souls and 2k Strategy Super Pack. So worth it. Nothing planned for purchases. Heck, I may not buy anything in the summer either.

The fact that you lose a point for each one you miss can be truly devastating near the end of an attempt.

So you want Steam on your SSD and games on another drive? Good Luck. I tried the same thing and could only get it to work with a few games. If you can figure it out let me know though.
I think I've developed some unhealthy obsession with Vampire games- I was replaying Bloodlines, and then somehow I ended up playing the first Bloodrayne title, and then I voted to greelight Bloodlust. Which apparently had a demo, that I proceeded to play as well.
What's wrong with me?! I think all I want is some sequel to Bloodlines, and I'll satiate that desire with Vampire games of any type! Any other suggestions of games to play within the genre, specifically with sharp teeth and neon?!

This may not be what you're suffering, but I find myself with RPG burnout from time to time - I think it's the burden of decision making, not helped by being an over-analyser who tends to over-think and get bogged down with character development and whatnot.
When I'm in one of these ruts, I like to dig my way out with something completely different, often linear, shooty or possibly 'mindless'.
Say, do you have Mark of the Ninja still to tackle? A mate is playing through that at the moment, and loving it.
Could be it, yes. I'm not an RPG fan, but loved the Mass Effect series (and don't hate them in retrospective, even after ME3 ending) and now was loving The Witcher too. But I may have grown tired of it, though the story, writing, characters and setting is top-notch. I'll follow your advice and let it rest for a while, until my interest comes back again (I hope it happens soon).
That's a great idea, playing something completely unrelated. I do have MotN, and haven't started it yet. Actually I did, played for 5 minutes, died in the tutorial and never touched it since. Looks like I'm going to play it now, then. Thanks a lot
I hope this game is as good as everyone says, 5 minutes aren't enough to form a proper opinion.

You aren't using zDoom.
You accidentally loaded up Doomline Miami apparently.

You'll enjoy it, or you should =P
I don't own it, but I did play it for a bit at a buddy's house and and ended up staying longer than I intended.
I would buy 10 of this
Shit gets real, mid through, is all I'll say about it. The shooting aspect is definitely standard fare. Not bad, but unremarkable.
The gist of it is that the storytelling makes up for the average gameplay.
Edit: b10.
I did that on purpose, sorry to ruin the illusion
Question is, is it better than Gears? Because we all know Binary Domain is. Now we need the Spec Ops The Line decision.

Hitman : Absolution - completed
was cruising along, but the game finally started to wear on me around mission 17....so close to the end to.
Loved the gameplay...mostly ignored the story
will definitely be going back to try more challenges though, need to put it down for a bit though

since it seems to just be a way to get you from mission sandbox to mission sandbox

I think you play it for the story. But even on that front, you've got to temper your expectations. I thought the story was well crafted, and as Walker you see/do some truly awful things as waves of faceless soldiers attack you. But it's not strictly shock value- I think for awhile, I wondered why I kept pressing forward when every confrontation felt like a slog. There'd be a meaningful piece of graffiti, voice recording, or cutscene to keep me intrigued.
I had to play it while taking breaks between each level. The repetition and typical TPS cover-based mechanics can't be masked by the incredible soundtrack/colorful Dubai environments. And I can't say I enjoyed it- but it definitely left a very lasting impression. And I'm glad I got through it.
Nah gears shooting at least is much more polished. Though I found the characters to be really boring.
Isn't that what one of the devs said? That the gameplay was made average on purpose so as to not detract people from the narrative? What an awful excuse.

I wish someone warned me ahead of time. I would have just played on it on Easy.
Oh ya, MP3 was incredibly fun on PC (mouse + 60fps). You win Salsa.

Worst excuse ever.
Yeah games greatest ascpect is that they are interactive ignoring gamplay for the sake of story is backwards. I'm not saying ignore story, far from it. Just find a way to incorporate the story into the gameplay.
I dont think he meant it as an excuse, I think he meant that there's nothing out of the ordinary about it because of that reason. As in, it is similar to every third person shooter out there.
and THAT makes sense, putting you in familiar ground before shaking things up makes sense for what the game's trying to accomplish.
it being average/not better has nothing to do with that, and if that's what he meant then yeah that is stupid as hell

I didn't think the plot was anything mindblowing in Spec Ops either. They have some neat tricks they pull, but the actual plot felt very similar to that one movie that is sort of based off that book and has been used in game plots multiple times now.
Except this time it's Dubai.
