LOL MRORANGE. Great post.

(Couldn't resist...)

When is the August thread going up?

Didn't even know there was going to be a Sacred 3 and now it's suddenly at the top of Steam's top seller list.

EDIT: Huh, and now it's gone?

It doesn't exist. Your mind was playing tricks on you.

 

[Stallion Free]

I think Mr. Orange did a pretty good job making an example of all the shitposting habits to avoid in August.

 

[Teppic]

Yeah, there's options for that stuff.

Can you make it so everyone has to use it for online play?

 

[Toki767]

I think Mr. Orange did a pretty good job making an example of all the shitposting habits to avoid in August.

Well the thread did kind of slow down the past few days I guess. August may very well just need one thread the whole month.

I think that's more to do with everybody playing Divinity and a few people being banned.

 

[Toshin]

Is it possible to play Pool Nation without the helping arrows you see in this video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbRz-Yaowqw

Seeing how the ball will travel before you shoot doesn't look that much fun to me.

in the video it shows you can via options!

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Maybe... but we've only had this thread for less than two weeks and we're already over the limit. So I dunno.

Totally, should be in the OP.

 

[Ruruja]

Totally, should be in the OP.

A single quote post? Are you feeling okay?

 

[MayMay]

Yeah Steam, I wish it was already available. 2 weeks left ._.

 

[X05]

A single quote post? Are you feeling okay?

No, I have over 200 pages to read ;_;

 

[xenoflux2113]

No, I have over 200 pages to read ;_;

You're better off not doing that and just starting fresh at this point.

Thanks! Didn't see that.

By the way, there were some errors processing your keys...
Note: The key you added for Velocity Ultra was already listed in ModBot from a previous giveaway of yours, but was not taken. Updating key info to match new giveaway.

When you finally post with the quotes in it, it will break GAF.

Also, you better hurry, before someone closes this and the August thread goes up...

Speaking of -- I want the new thread to go up... c'mon already.

Whoever gets block land try and get the rare meme emoticon. Easy money just like :weed: back in the day.

 

[WinterDemons]

Another thread title change?

Can't wait to read about the upcoming games in August.

 

[NightmareTrigger]

Question for anyone who has played Divinity and seen Luther. Does one of the civilian voices sound JUST like DCI Ripley to anyone else?
EDIT: New title!

 

[xeris]

Great pool game.

Not many people online to play though

I picked it up Monday. I haven't had much time to put in it, but it seems decent enough so far.

 

[Toshin]

no prob tepp, seems good to warrent if a few others want to dip/play together...

 

[Ozium]

MRORANGE pls

 

[X05]

You're better off not doing that and just starting fresh at this point.

Yeah, will probably be doing that, I'll skim through the last few pages here though.

LOL, it wouldn't because posts have a hard character limit

And good point, it's already August in some places so I don't have enough time sadly

 

[drizzle]

Pool Nation for just over £1 this week? Worth a shot! Bought!

http://store.steampowered.com/app/254440/

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know about this. Game looks amazing, already bought.

 

[electroflame]

Thinking about picking up Pool Nation and Red Faction: Guerrilla, anything wrong with either of those (aside from GFWL in the case of Red Raction)?

Let be honest that GOTG thread in OT that is still running wild broke GAF today/night. I mean look at the Commando themed title here now. I'm going go count my card monies and hopefully wake up to a nice shiny anime free Stream tomorrow. Well that is if by voting on that poll that Zeliard is a less than favourable word doesn't some how impact my ability to post tomorrow.

 

[Lain]

I saw Steam downloaded some Sacred 3 thing, so I tried my luck by hitting Play (the store said the game would be available for play on August 1 and it's already August 1 here) and it started doing it's... unpacking? magic and after 30/40 minutes of wait it is now downloading another 2GB of stuff. Hopefully once that's done I'll be able to play.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Pretty sure they patched out GFWL or are planning on it.

 

[Anteater]

The august steam thread is just going to be 100 pages of people talking about bad posts rather than making quality posts. Good luck!

 

[Ozium]

To those wondering about Pool Nation: It's fucking pool. Do you like pool? Do you like computer simulations of Pool? Do you like shiny balls? Get it.

 

[electroflame]

Pretty sure they patched out GFWL or are planning on it.

Last I heard was that they were planning on it. I was more inquiring if either of them are total garbage and not worth the ~$2 they're going for right now.

 

[iosefe]

Do you like shiny balls? Get it.

i dunno, we've had enough shininess with Sakura Spirit

 

[Easton Dark]

Guerrilla is amazing.

 

[Jawmuncher]

They're both easily worth the price.
Guerilla is a very fun sci fi sandbox game with nothing like it last I checked. The destructibility is fun and adds a lot to the expierence.

 

[Backlogger]

In recent news Steam Controller might get a DPAD.

I was wondering about this. Seems like all the feedback I have seen (mostly from this site) is that it needs a DPAD. I don't really care much about DPADs and actually like the idea of the thumbstick. DPADs vs thumbsticks definitely comes down to individual game preference and/or play style though.

If the left pad could function as a thumbstick it seems like it would make more sense to put a DPAD where the thumbstick is currently located.

 

[chixdiggit]

Going to try and ask for help again with Idle Master (though I seem to be ignored).
I have steam running and logged in. If I click on the "Start.exe" I get a window pop up that tells me how many games I have to idle and names a specific game. No card drops though. And no game idling.
If I ctrl c I get this error:


If I click on the Steam-Idle I get a Pop up that says "Steam-Idle has stopped working"

The 2GB is downloadable content stuff. It didn't download for me and couldn't join my friends game because of it. Had to untick and retick the DLC on Steam to get it to start. >.<

 

[InfiniteNine]

I see nothing about a d-pad in that article or see one on the new design. I'm not really going to consider getting one till it has a proper one.

Awesome, I've been interested in them for a while, so for $3.50 it seems like a good deal.
Bought.

Thanks guys.

I've heard the complete opposite, apparently the haptic touchpad functions as a perfect DPAD, so an extra one is completely unnecessary.

To be fair to the design, if you are playing a game with a DPAD you would be motivated to plug in a controller that played to that need. Steam controller is meant to fill a different niche entirely.

 

[zkylon]

got "beach bikinis" card and a foil for tits

sexy haul

now to actually play the thing

any fixes i need to install or something?

i heard there's some?

 

[Easton Dark]

So Idle Master had stopped working, so I just kept the settings, deleted everything else, redownloaded, and it's working now.

'Sup with that?

 

[MRORANGE]

 

[crazyrabbits]

Just started using Idlemaster myself - interesting program. Considering that I can't even run SAM on my home computer (think it has a compatibility issue), this is a godsend.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Might have been a special symbol like the copyright mark making it crash in the old build you had. New build fixed that issue.

 

[tylerf]

Please help market experts. Got a foil drop for TitS that has 11 for sale starting at 8 dollars. What should I price mine at?

 

[user237]

does Idle Master work on games that don't work in SAM?

After using SAM I have 5 games left that have drops remaining but aren't listed in SAM.

 

[Backlogger]

To be fair to the design, if you are playing a game with a DPAD you would be motivated to plug in a controller that played to that need. Steam controller is meant to fill a different niche entirely.

Honestly, this is kinda how I feel about it too. I have 360 and PS3 controllers I can use for different types of games (and will eventually get around to getting xBox 1 and PS4 controllers). I don't mind the idea at all of getting a Steam controller that I might not use for every game. I just want one.

If the touch pads function as DPADs then I really am loving the current design.

Abyss Odyssey update v1.03:

Fixes / changes include:

Attacks that output strong impact vfxs do high damage to shields.
Tweaked all character shield values.
Updated grab vfx and sfx.
Tweaked difficulty chance assigned to levels.
Slightly increased AI level of most NPCs.
Captured enemies have 70% of their health when used by players.
Projectiles that move in arcs don't collide with jump through platforms during their rise.
Fixed blue fireball collisions.
Fixed XP displaying incorrectly for players using XP rings.
Health orbs give slightly less health.

Note: The bulk of this update addresses additional content for the next mask phase (not described in the change list).

Also the mask has broken so more content in the Abyss has been unlocked (new enemy types and a new warlock battle)
