Thinking of hooking up a laptop to a TV for a gaming night with 2/3 other guys and am liking the look of Samurai Gunn but wanted to hear some suggestions for other newish games too.

Nidhogg looks cool but it's only 2 players so I'll probably pass on that.

RoR ans Speesrunners were already mentioned so I'll sugesr Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed if your laptop can handle it.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

does... this mean that once streaming goes wide, we'll be able to log in simultaneously on multiple computers all the time? because frankly that would be hell of convenient.

Yes, I believe this is possible as long as both (or all) of the computers are connecting from the same IP address.

3rd party sellers on Amazon.uk have them for cheap, I think.

Found people on Ebay... But they won't give me the key directly... I guess they want to make that money from shipping. Damn, I'm such a cheap bastard and always want instant gratification. Anyone knows of a way to get insta-keys? I could give two craps about having it physically.

Yep, this much is working for me so far - currently logged-in online with the same account on both my PC and laptop.

Both machines are appearing from the other respectively in the In-Home Streaming settings page, but still showing a 'disconnected' status, and I'm unable to stream as a result. Might still be playing that waiting game that todd referred to.

As soon as I went to that page on both my desktop & Surface they connected to each other. Seems nifty. Will have to try later when I'm not downloading a game on Steam already :<

Ah, so this streaming thing doesn't merely stream Steam (or the game you're streaming), but the whole desktop - I'm currently typing this post from my laptop without having a browser open on the laptop itself. Funky... and possibly useful for... something.

hmm, my input isn't working with streaming, could just be that I'm using my mouse connected to my pc and synergy though :lol also my network is really slow, might need to reboot router, I'll try later, but I got bad rats to stream on my imac.

Sweet, buying Hitman Blood Money for cheap put me at 47 games. Small number I know, but Hitman being Game #47 got a chuckle out of me.

In home Streaming wouldn't work for me until I changed my desktops Steam skin to default, I was getting "not connected" under both until I changed it, now it works fine.

I was having trouble getting the right screen caps to generate, but so far I am impressed in the Streaming.

I was streaming Skyrim to a much lessor machine and while the graphics weren't great it streamed fine, but capped just under 30 FPS even in combat. I was expecting a bunch of lag.

The machine I was streaming to is an AMD dual core 2.0 GHz with 3 GB RAM and a low profile 1 GB vid card. Screen resolution is only 1366x768, but I am going to move it to a 1080p TV with HDMI and see how that changes things.

Edit: Oh, I'm not a Jr anymore :)

I got my Prey key from G2A for a tenner a few months back, the whole process was kind of offputting as they had to give me a confirmation call before sending the key.

I just added this to the listing (not like anyone reads this anyway):

** PLEASE NOTE **
This extension will not allow you to play Steam games on a Google Chromebook. This extension only changes and adds features to the Steam website when browsing with Chrome.

Does anyone else have problems with Batman Arkham Origins? Everytime I start it up, I can play for only a few minutes before it crashes. And it crashed every single time once that cutscene where you first see Killer Croc. Is it the DX11 effects messing everything up?

I'm replacing my HDD in my computer (secondary to my SSD).

How do I move the games I installed to the SSD to remove the HDD before moving them back?

I didn't use steam mover for these, these were properly installed to the secondary drive. Do I need to back them up to get them off the HDD before I replace it?

Anyone with a good PC try streaming yet? My GPU is a 5770. Lag spikes are pretty bad, and the general input lag is in the 70 ms range which is not good enough. Curious how a modern machine would handle it.

Is the one on JAST's website censored? Either way, as the game was brought up, any chance it might appear in an indie bundle?
Click to expand...

I have the physical version they offer and it is completely uncensored even compared to the Japanese version. The DD version on their site should be the same.
