Why do you think all of the characters in those games had wooden shoes?

The story in Gemini Rue is pretty interesting, one of it's strong points. The story in Machinarium is okay but I wouldn't say that it's one of the draws to the game. It's more about the beautiful graphics, fun puzzles, quirky characters, and the overall world of the game. Not in that order, don't want to make it seem like the graphics are the best thing lol.
The story in Lume is alright, I guess. Nothing memorable. Tiny Bang Story doesn't really have a story, as it's mostly a hidden object game with some puzzles thrown in. I haven't played Jolly Rover fully so I can't comment on it.

It's playable if you're twelve. Any older than that and 'goddamn teenage cyborg syndrome' starts to set in.
dave is ok
aztek is ok

I'd like to have Gemini Rue, but I already have Machinarium and Lume. I wish the individual titles were discounted

I think we all can see where this is going.

No. If you have a computer at home running Steam while you're at work/school/wherever you could setup remote desktop to use it from another computer or even a phone.

I hate how Grimrock doesn't unlock until 6PM tomorrow rather than midnight tonight.

Huh? I always thought for some reason Amazon checks whether the billing address I give matches the one my bank has on record.

Jolly Rover is a like a B-version of Monkey Island with dogs instead of humans. I find it enjoyable but not spectacular. It avoided most of the major adventure game pratfalls. It does have this, which makes it awesome:

Hmmmmmmmmm tempted to get Max Payne 3 at release and this is probably as good as it's gonna get. I think I'll bite later in the month.
Temped to buy it too but wonder if it will be steamworks key... If it is I'll get it with my IGN Prime 15% off discount from http://www.gamersgate.com
I didn't know that. You just made me very sad. Is that EST or PST?
edit: Steam says estimated 21 hours from now. That puts it at ~1pm EST. That's not bad.

I am not going to lie, I would buy that game for 5 dollars as well. But I saw earlier that you have Farming Simulator 2011 so I will definitely vouch for you having a steam problem
Who DOESN'T want Farming Simulator 2011?!

I'm going to say no because LA Noire wasn't and a PC packaging is planned (some Steamworks games do this but not many).

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Rockstar Games typically aren't Steamworks. And the DRM section on the Gamersgate page lists it as Gameshield, like all of their recent releases.
So, no, it isn't.

Ahh that explains Dangerous Waters...
Dutch developers have been pretty solid with the indie games the last couple of years.

Surely that's not a surprise for a game published by Microsoft?
Yeah, okay, that actually made it look pretty fun.
There's something about dubstep and frantic editing that just.. works.

ITSW was an interesting game for me. I played the demo, loved it, bought the game, finished it in a single butt-grinding session of 4.5 hours, really liked the game for the most part, posted about it on GAF a few days later that I liked it well enough, and the more time that passes since I've played the game, the less I remember it and the less I remember liking it.
If you're on the fence and don't really like the price or the GFWL stuff, just skip the game. Even in my post-playthrough high, I wouldn't have characterized it was a "must play".

It's a surprise that they're still willing to throw money away rather than give up on their failed service.
Ah, didn't realize that. Thought they were self-publishing like some other XBLA developers did after the XBLA exclusivity ran out.
I'd summarize as fast-food gaming: pretty and without any serious flaws, keeping a high enough pace to keep you from quitting, but ultimately devoid of any depth or truly menorable moments.
And when you're done, you fart, and suddenly you're all hungry again.

Verify your email address through Steam if you haven't already.
Enable Steam guard if you haven't already.
Change your Steam and email passwords and make sure they're not the same.
Cool. I've done all three already so if that's the best I can do, I'm not worried.

I'd add "Consider downloading a password manager like LastPass, KeePass or 1Password and generating unique 20+ character passwords for every website you go on."
These are actual passwords I've used for sites that I don't use anymore:

Two Wrongs make a... right?!
If agreeing with you makes me wrong, I don't want to be right.

Bingo. Pick a couple and change a few of the digits every so often.
