That's my next major purchase behind Occulus Rift and a new TV. I use 3D Vision, so I need the Rift before changing my monitor (unless I saw a good deal on a 120Hz 4k) and I'm still in the dark ages TV wise with a 720p fossil.

I'm stuck again in The SwapperI can feel I'm really close to the end now... I think...
This is the room I'm stuck in.
It really looks like there's no way to go past the red lights? There's no switch or anything, so... I'm perplexed :|
edit: if you know the solution please don't give it, I'd only want a hint at most
What can fall down can also fall up.
Steam on SSD, games on HDD for me.
Also, somewhat relatedly, if you want to upgrade to Win8.1 (which I wouldn't recommend for now), don't use symlinks to various user folders.

I played it a while ago, so I think what you should try to do is
find a way to get a clone upside down under that platform in the middle
I tried to be as vague as possible! edit: and now, seeing bigwinnerx's hint, I feel like I didn't try hard enough lol

2.35 didn't work out of the box with Remember Me
Yeah. I didn't bother to figure that one out. I didn't see those amazing shots from the screenshot thread until after my playthrough
Stall is my 2.35 brother from another, we're going hard this year.
I was talking about Downsampling! But yeah, we all need to upgrade.
Cannot emphasise this enough. The upgrade to 8.1 was far too painful because of doing this.
Luckily I managed to scrape enough space on the SSD for the folders by getting rid of hibernation mode.
Little Racers STREET has a release date: February 6th. Don't know if buyers of BaGB2 or the Indie Gamer Chick Bundle will get a steam key.

War of the Human Tanks is pretty fun so far.
Need to play a bit more to see how it goes. Can't say I like being limited to a certain amount of turns in battle though...might have to cheatengine that.

Ok, thanks, that should be quite a good set up, as I guess then the client would load super fast (at least, as opposed to how it does on the 5400rpm HDD on my laptop
).And btw, I'm sticking with Win7.
I thought a lot about trying Win8.1 (in a not super ethically correct manner) just because I really dig Metro UI, but hey, why the hell should I do that when I have a proper fully working Win7 (aside from just being a jerk for the sake of it
)?EDIT:
Holy shit, when the page loaded showing that gif I was TOTALLY doing Señor Chang's same gestures.
Now I feel I could have something like changnesia. :'(

Yeah, there's no way I would have upgraded to 8 if it wasn't for the fact the original upgrades were super cheap and I'm very impulsive.
I put everything on the HDD, but I don't play online games much anymore. If I did, I'd put Steam and that specific online game on the SSD, rest still on the HDD.
I could put Steam on the SSD no matter what, though... Hmm..
And congrats on the new PC!
Well, I mean, if you can upgrade to 8.0 for cheap, I'd say go for it; just don't get the .1 version yet. But yeah if you have a 7 and you're content with it no need to worry about switching anyway.Ok, thanks, that should be quite a good set up, as I guess And btw, I'm sticking with Win7.

haha it's okay Copons everyone can have a second chance and I'm welcoming you to the steamgaf study group
getting annoyed that I'm not streaming. You?
Just really busy with school and about to start my new job
got into streaming beta and also not playing many games
I think the Streaming beta group should have just been named the "No Hasney's Group".
pretty good. let me tell you about the BEST part of the streaming beta. i no longer have to worry about having steam open on 2 computers at once!
Hey thank you all for the congrats and the advices!
The main reason I'm sticking with Win 7 is just that regarding Win 8 I always read stuff like "eh, you need to download a start menu replacement" or "eh, you need a fix for the mouse lag".
My god, I haven't really touched a Windows for 5 years (when I bought a MacBook Pro), except the occasional Win XP I use at work for testing purposes and the Win 7 I've currently bootcamped on my Mac and that I use just for gaming.
Going back to full Windows will be a so huge deal for my habits that I just don't have the guts to embark myself on a sort of newly released OS with bugs, incompatibilities and so on. Even if they're just dumb stuff and I'm making them bigger than what they actually are.

But windows 8 boots a few seconds faster and you get a few more frames in bf4 before it crashes.

In the
beta. This actually sounds pretty cool. Going to try it out later today if I don't get snowed in at work.

Don't you know? Half Life 3 is just really a set of items you can buy in TF2!
because you are all cool
Thanks!
Oh, and thanks for GTA 3!
I wish the original top down versions were available. Used to have so much fun playing that over LAN.
Also: I'm not gonna install TWO malwares immediately after fresh installing Windows.
I mean, I already need GFWL for Dark Souls, but Origin too? Then why not uPlay? Or Tages? Or reintroducing Nuremberg Laws? Or, even worse, installing that one HL3 torrent I found that looks like totally legit?
So thats what these boxes are for. Ok now I know to wait for those special HL3 keys in tf2
The majority of those games were released before cards were available.
This. I bought 'em and I'm from Europe.
Looks like all the GTA trilogy games have a MAC version. If I was JaseC, I'd be thrilled. For me, it just looks clunky. :lol
I really hate that.
Some of you might remember Grief's Twitter campaign about more Sega PC ports. To finally get this somewhere, Taro was finally able to put the petition up and now we obviously need every signature we can get.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=98167889&postcount=1108
It would be great if SteamGAF could be part of this.
Signed.
We all want Skies of Arcadia, but you have to put your best foot forward.
Bayonetta and Vanquish would be quite popular and the studio behind those games already has the experience. Valkyria Chronicles plays similar to games such as Xcom, Banner Saga, Wasteland 2, and Civ (in the broadest of examples). That particular style resonates with PC players and would have been, yet another, word of mouth hit.
VF was included instead because it already works on Windows after some significant workarounds.
Binary Domain is mediocre in a lot of respects, Sonic Racing Transformed, on the other hand, has moved plenty of copies on the platform.
They left VC off of the list because it would have been a more difficult path to a PC port, while VF would have been easier. While that may be the case, VC would have been significantly more successful.
Even during the Twitter campaign and initial petetion discussion the guy was needlessly crazy about the inclusion of VF.
Not many agreed to its inclusion as VC would be far more successful on the platform. He went ahead and created his own petetion, not surprising to see its inclusion.

The complaints about the start screen are ignorance, the mouse lag only occurs in 8.1. There is a fix, but for the most part, you have to add games manually.

That pic also showcases that Steam should really let us sort our games how we want. I want Episodes to be under the III Trilogy, but nooooooo.

New crates? Time to play some TF2 this weekend
I have a problem
Going to petition the mods for a rule that means no-one can talk about getting into the streaming beta because it makes me feel left out when I have a giant need for it right now.
I'd love Steam to allow for custom naming or library order sorting via changing the integer that each titles appears at. Baby steps, we might get it by 2040.
Hahahaha now I've got the Theme from Shaft stuck in my head.

Not Steam related but is anyone else getting a lot of 408 Request Timeout error while browsing GAF?
This got me.
Yeah I know, I was referring to you when I wrote about the mouse lag fix.
Haha
I am not planning on upgrading to 8.1 just yet due to those issues.

It's especially annoying that IIRC the mac versions lack icons and grid images
