Anyone interested in a copy of the original Torchlight? I have three to give away from our 4-pack (two of them courtesy of Sye d'Burns and NZNova). First three replies can have 'em.

Apparently I've been a member of that ''wrong'' Rockstar group for a while too. Wow that's stupid because I'm guessing I joined it because of something similar to this, join Rockstar and get a chance to win a free game or something.

I don't think you can register MLB2k12 on Steam if you buy it on Amazon.
Edit: Nevermind, I'm dumb. There's a Steam version too.
So thats why I didn't receive the game ... crapstar at work <.<,

I'm not even sure if the wrong group is just something made by fans/trolls. Should not blame Rockstar for that.
And the false group even had a link to the right group on their news feed.

that you cannot click on through steam community or in no way actually use through the steam client.

It's not like it's an image of text, wouldn't have taken much to copy and paste it into a browser and come to the realization that the groups are different.
The same Rockstar user account is in charge of both. I think the issue might have been that Steam has "officially" sanctioned developer/publisher groups, and the old Rockstar community group, while "official" in the sense that it was made by R*, predated the introduction of the Steam concept of "official" groups.
My theory anyways. This should be an easy problem for R* to fix. Just push out free copies to the people in the other group who don't already have it. Unless the Steam "official" publisher groups give them special perks, like the ability to mass send free swag.

So i'm looking for a new tower defense game. How is Revenge of the Titans?
It looks pretty cool, but it's not one I hear too much about.
Any opinions on this?

Its epic. Seriously you will love it.

Sadly, the Because We May sale just ended, but $6.99 is obviously still a very reasonable price.

I don't even like tower defense, I still think of it as what bad RTS players play instead of real games.
BUT DEFENDER'S QUEST IS AMAZING (Plants vs Zombies too
)And there's a lengthy browser-based demo for it as well so you can give it a real thorough try before deciding on a purchase.
Try Atom Zombie Smasher, it's a very simple but very rewarding little game. I really liked it, but i usually don't like tower defense games so... i don't know.

I agree, and I am.
I'm currently trying to put Steam on my prime SSD, but have my games be on my secondary HDD. I know this is possible, but all of the links I click on have about 50000 steps. Before I do this, does it work and is there any sort of difference in speed (launch, etc.)?

I wasn't a big fan of the learning curve. I feel like the tech purchases you make early in the game (when you don't really know what does what) weighs too heavily as you progress. It is hard to explain.
I like the humor though.
Alright you guys, i need help. My 360 controller no longer works with steam games. It has always worked fine before, but, now nothing. And it's weird, games that are GFWL, the guide button works but nothing else. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing steam, the controller drivers, everything i could think of. I'm seriously stumped. I know its only steam too, cause i loaded up PoP: forgotten sands and it worked just fine.

It's a fun game, but yeah, you can find yourself in an un-winnable scenario if you screw up enough in the previous missions.

Holy crap. My son has been playing LOTR: BFME II on the 360 and wanted to know how much it is on the PC. I checked Steam, GOG and Amazon... and freaked out. Nothing on Steam, nothing on GOG and costs in the $100+ range on Amazon.
WTF?
WTF?

EA doesn't have the rights to LOTR games anymore so it's unlikely that game will ever show up on a DD service.

But unless you did that, you wouldn't have known they were different. And why would you have done that unless you thought they were different to start with?

Thanks for the suggestions.
Do you have another controller plugged in? I have similar problems when more than one controller is plugged into my computer.

But, srsly, is it worth it to put my main Steam folder on my prime SSD?

So is there a decent tower defense game that doesn't look like it has 8 bit graphics? Just picked up a gaming capable laptop.

Defense Grid: Awakening is really good.
I currently have what you're talking about, with Steam installed on my main SSD and all the games on a HDD. I used Steam Mover and it was really easy except for one or two games that were a bit of trouble, but it was easy to fix. So far my speeds have been fantastic.
Defence Grid (traditional tower defence)
Swords & Soliders HD
Orcs Must Die
Dungeon Defenders
Anomaly Warzone Earth
Sanctum
Or get Starcraft 2 and download one of the many tower defense maps.

Comparable or over a 7200rpm?
The difference between the two is astounding. I had to run Portal 2 from my SSD when it released and initial loading screens (i.e. in a fresh instance with no pertinent data sitting in RAM) were no more than a few seconds long and future loading times within the same instance were nigh on instantaneous.
Edit: D'oh, I misread the conversation, haha. I thought you were talking about having Steam and your current game running from the SSD.
My HDD is a 5400rpm and speeds have been fine, I haven't noticed any significant lag issues playing online and Steam Mover was pretty quick, I believe it was something like 5 minutes or less to move over Dragon Age: Origins and Awakening. I would say I spent less than 1.5 hours moving over 109 games and over 300GB. That's if I understood your question correctly.
You don't get lag from a slow HDD, you get long loading times.

Hey guys, I just received this email from Steam. Should I be worried? My profile's private, I've only got a number of people in my friends list (who can't see my profile) and I haven't played seriously on Steam for a couple of weeks.
Only if you doubt the security of your e-mail account.

I am using the same password. Unbreakable, but still the same.
