The blurb says it has local hotseat mutliplayer... but who does that?
The TrackMania 2 and ShootMania games will register on Steam, for those interested.
So you could pass the controller around if it had controller support?

Manhunt isn't available on GMG AU as it was retroactively banned here after all the outrage in the media about its violent content. On a related note, I hope Valve eventually relaxes its policy on AO games so we can get a Steam version of Manhunt 2.
Among my greatest gaming memories are Heroes of Might & Magic hotseat games. But yeah, it was in the previous century.

I frequently look through my Friend Activity feed and note that, for example today, hey, good on you Wthermans for enduring that 6th act in Homefront - well earned, respect etc: that cheevo was deserved!... So don't go trivialising those achievements, folks!
For what it's worth, I love 'em, chase them with glee, and have never fabricated one. Some devs obviously put a lot more thought into cheevos than others, though, and yeah, buggy (non)cheevos... they irk me more than they should.

To add to this, I bet if LOS does well (...and I'm pretty sure it will) a PC port will be coming anyway. Definitely a wait-and-see situation IMO, unless you're dying for a portable version.

listen to the mad man
grief when you make the new thread make sure you point modbot to the new thread.
Earlier someone said ModBot was broken. Any truth ?
Exactly. Where we had to send the other players out of the room every time it was our turn... Man, the memories... Back when we were young...

Some of my friends are crazy for Catan, maybe I can get them on Steam with this.
Just in time for the Halloween, Autumn and Winter Sales.
Does Amazon do Winter Sales too?
They had a great one this year.
Will do.
You might also run them away from PC gaming entirely if the port is of poor quality.
Last year Amazon had both a Black Friday Sale (its answer to Steam's Autumn Sale) as well as a Holiday Sale.
It's weird that the game didn't have to go through Steam Greenlight. Especially since United Soft Media didn't have any game on Steam (and they are not exactly well-known).
This may be the first time I actually pay attention to an Amazon sale. Thanks.

Yes.
Valve may have selected the game itself.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Surely the scene where Arnold takes that guy's clothes in Terminator can be appropriated for this.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Why is Skullgirls stuttering so much? Played four tutor's and all was fine, started a test match and after twenty seconds the framerate went all over the place.
Next match; again. :/
Anyhow. Ducktales is awesome!

Online match or local? Try to disable the 3d scenery.
I know, I've read it.
I'll still play my 360 version for multiplayer, but this version is cheap enough for the 2 add-ons, hence on the eventual "to buy" list.
Thanks anyways for the heads up.

Local training match. I'll try that.
Shouldn't have any performance issues on my rigg, but hey; beta's.
I must say, the game looks great. I suck at it, but the animations are wonderfull.

Wat.
Why did you post that twice?
STEAM Announcements & Updates 2013 V - fantomena pls
Okay, thanks, guess that makes it easier.
I'll just have to wait until it's on sale.
Looks region locked to me
There are no runtime restrictions, though, and the app id isn't unique. At worst he'll need a Brazil-based VPN to activate the key.
Yeah, my paranoia doesn't allow me to use VPNs. Know too many people (3) that got burned by that to risk it.

It's what I'm doing. Patience, brother.
So we pushing this thing to the next level, or what?
If I had a nickel for every half-assed version of Catan in existence I could buy all 50 games on my wishlist.
Don't waste your money on this, folks. Save up the extra 20 bucks and get the real thing. Then join us in the board game thread.
I do local multiplayer board games all the time. It's called PLAYING ACTUAL BOARD GAMES.Turfster said:

We should just use the last sentence of the old thread as new thread title.
Why am I only thinking of this now.

For what it's worth, Valve doesn't care about VPNs being used to just activate keys or unlock games early: there are plenty of GAFers, myself included, who have been doing this for yonks without incident.

Yes but that's around a table with friends, with booze and food.
This would be at a computer or at best, on a couch with a HTPC. Not as much fun.
It's not so much Valve as whoever's running the VPN. Yes, I know it's irrational. No, I can't do much about it.
After all that these past Steam threads have been through, I can certainly say that no, there's absolutely no chance we'll be moved to Community.
I mean, if we survived HolyBaikal's meltdown, discussions about mate, hourly Suarez Ronald McDonald talks and orgies with TF2 keys and cheap game sellers, I believe we can survive anything.
this natasha bedingfield music video belongs in the OP of the new thread.
it's the feeling I get when I hang out with SteamGAF

Fair enough.

You don't have to worry about random discussions that last only a few pages. What will push us into community is an abundance of livejournal-style posts about how your day is going.
