Tips:
  • Search other regions of the Steam store by adding'?cc=uk', '?cc=us', '?cc=fr' at the end of Steam's address.
  • You can spread the payments over multiple credit cards by adding money from each card/ account to your steam wallet:
    1)Log into the client
    2)Click on '.... account' at the top right corner of the page
    3)Click 'add funds to Steam wallet'
  • If you are charged twice for a purchase, DO. NOT. FILE. A. CHARGEBACK! Work with Valve directly to fix the issue.

LovingSteam's (RIP) corner:
What is Steam:


A digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer and communications platform developed by Valve Corporation. It is used to distribute games and related media online, from small independent developers to larger software houses. Steam also has community features, automated game updates, and in-game voice and chat functionality.

As of 2011, there are over 1,500 + games available through Steam. In January 2010 Valve claimed that it had surpassed 25 million active user accounts. Although Valve never releases sales figures, Steam is estimated to have a 70% share of the digital distribution market for video games.

Many major publishers have catalogs on Steam, including Electronic Arts, Activision, 2K Games, Ubisoft, THQ, Sega, Codemasters, id Software, LucasArts, Capcom, Rockstar Games, Square Enix, Microsoft, and Bethesda Softworks.

Security-
1. Verify Email
2. Steam Guard-Within steam go to Steam> Settings> Manage Steam Gaurd>Keep account guarded by Steam Guard. For more info go here
3. Fishing Attempts- Valve will NEVER email you with sales or include a link that requires you log in. Its a phishing scam. Don't fall for it.

FAQ-
How do I contact Steam support?
Steam Support
Is my support account the same as my Steam account? 
No. Your Steam, Steam Forums, and Steam Support accounts are all different
Is there offline mode?
Yes, from within the client click on 'Steam' and then select 'Go offline'. You will have to store your log in information and periodically (every 30 days?) go online to verify files.
How can I add a non Steam game to the client?
Go to 'GAMES' and click on 'Add a non-Steam game to library'

Remember you can also pay with PayPal

    WAIT FOR THE DAILY DEALS


Things that will happen:
  • People will buy things before they go on a daily and then bitch about how they should have waited.
  • People will ask if said game is going to get any cheaper or that if he/she should just buy it now.
  • People will bitch about how the sales are shit just because every game on discount is a game they already own.
  • People will ask if there will be a recap on the last day even thought it has happened everytime, ever.
  • People will ignore the info in this OP.
  • People will be very happy and get great games at a great price.

If any of these things happen you're entitled to quote and laugh.


Useful Sites:

For better browsing on the different store prices (depending on region) you can always use SteamPrices





For better browsing of every game on sale at the moment I recommend using SteamGameSales (great to find the cheapest sale-long discounts)




Users that are willing to help by gifting (in exchange of the proper value sent through paypal) games from other, cheaper regions:

NOTE: keep in mind that paypal fees might turn up during the exchange. If this is the case it is encouraged for the user being helped to take care of them (you can ussually get around it by sending something like 2 extra bucks)

Just quote me with the decrypted message and you will get a free game of your choice for 10&#8364; or less.
It's a bit trickier than just to convert it to ascii, but it shouldn't be to hard to figure it out.
And try to be quick about it, i leave for gothenburg early tomorrow morning and don't know if i'll be able to check up on GAF after that.

Just to clarify a few things, the end product is a sentence and there's no ascii needed at all.

Finally, one attempt in Python, which attempted to convert to ascii, before the hint above was given.

That Ubi DRM is a huge boner killer. Otherwise I would have nabbed it. I just dont want to support shit like that, even at a cheap price. Maybe I'm just being ridiculous.
Click to expand...

their DRM has definitely been toned down for retail copies, but i think some games bought elsewhere (like on steam) still have the older obtrusive DRM.

still, i thought HAWX 2 kicked ass, $4.99 is a good deal

So do the Commando's games work on Windows 7/64bit machines? I'm eyeing the Commando's Complete bundle but maybe that's something I should get off of GoG instead.

New thread, yay!

I like how in 10 days I managed to amass a sizable PC backlog. And I've only had a decent PC for like two weeks. :lol

I saw someone giving the last badge/voting everyday to another player in the Summer Camp Steam Chat.

Is it really possible to do?

Start with 1- there are story elements and characters from the first game that play into the second. And both are terrific, though they have entirely different combat systems.
