One bloke did create rather basic drivers, but, well:

The DS4 is nice, but I can't recommend it over a wired 360 controller, I have both but I use my 360 controller 9 times out of 10. It's just so much easier and everything already uses it.

Once they work out the analog stick kinks and it goes on sale I'm definitely picking one up. What I've tried of the DS4 really left me impressed; the d-pad on it felt pretty good, but I haven't had enough experience with it to really determine if I'd like it over the Classic Controller Pro d-pad. Still, I look forward to eventually picking one up as a replacement for my 360 pad.
You're still pretty far from the end.

It's Windows Firewall needing permission to allow Steam Client Bootstrapper, maybe it needed to update.

not sure if this was prompted by my switch from a Public to Private network

You don't have to worry about 100%ing things on your first go if that's a concern, once you finish the game you'll be able to mess around at your leisure post-game and mop up any collectibles, tombs, challenges, etc. you have left.
I've really gotten sucked into Shadow Warrior in the last couple of days. I was sort of expecting something more like Serious Sam or the new ROTT with modern looks and old FPS gameplay but it's not really that. It's much more modernized while preserving that older sense of action. Hell, I just decapitated a giant bull-headed demon with my sword without the aid of a QTE.
I'm only about 2/3 of the way through, but so far I absolutely recommend checking it out.

Well, it does have one OCD dick move in the form of an achievement that requires you to exhaust every bit of talk dialogue from the Endurance crew at every possible point you can talk to them. Miss one and you gotta play all over again.
Without question.
Thief Gold and Thief 2 are arguably the two finest stealth games ever made.

If I didn't already own the first two (albeit on disc), I'd snatch this up in a heartbeat. I used to play the first few missions of Thief II constantly back in the day. I loved the fact that you had missions where the only objective was just to loot anything that wasn't nailed down.
has it been cheaper anywhere else? lol
Yea, unfortunately.
I stick with my Dualshock 2 where possible (no effin' L/R triggers, god thank you, way better d-pad than x360/logitech pads), but even with x360 some games just refuse to work properly with it (so far Alpha Protocol, Mark of the Ninja and LEGO games). It's good to have a proper xinput replacement just in case.

I think there was a Thief bundle on Amazon, IIRC.
Not as far as I'm aware.
*peeks out under the Marvel Heroes rock
Hello? Are we still fighting over Saoirse gifs? No? Good, see you guys again in a few days then (or whenever a new bundle is out so I can giveaway all the spares), back under I go

I'm about $.61 away from $5 from selling Steam cards, so I can get the Gage weapon pack for PayDay 2. I'm trying to nail down the timing on when cards drop but it seems some of them are just random.

We'll keep a light on for you, man. Tell Director Fury we said hi. ; )

Finally beat Metro Last Light on Steam today and I got to say that the game is quite beautiful and actually has a pretty good story for an action game that was known for its horror more than its storytelling.

I'm with those who say it's worse (I have a F510 with is the same thing just with rumble, I think). Its dpad is arguably better than the 360, I guess, but it's also a completely different type of dpad.
I think the overall shape is okay, the sticks and face buttons are fine, the shoulder buttons are small and really clicky, and the triggers are absolute shit. They're narrow, have a short throw and are very stiff. I found them fatiguing for racing games where you're pulling them all the way in most of the time.
The rumble is insanely loud for some reason, too, though that's not an issue on the 310.
In my experience it's generally 15-20 minutes per card.
Not really Steam related but has anyone had issues changing their email address on GMG? I had it associated with an old gmail account and when I tried to update it to another gmail account, it simply wouldn't do anything. No error message, clicking the save changes button did nothing. It seemed to work fine for my hotmail account which is baffling but I'd like to associate it to my gmail account so I can take advantage of their playfire rewards program.
I need to get back to 2033. Played a couple hours of it but nothing grabbed me.

2033 is on the "play me soon list" because I want to play Last Light but don't want to do it without playing 2033 first.
I can't seem to pry myself away from MGR:R as usual, though.

If you're two hours into Castlevania: Lord of Shadows and not digging it, at all, is it worthwhile to push on through the rest of the game? I'm on chapter 2 and quite frankly I don't like this game. Lord of Shadows is an inelegant and poorly done God of War clone.

Some people change their minds after chapter 3. I've seen a lot of that in here lately.

Seems like if there is a current voucher that works this might be the lowest its been if not tied for lowest. Anyone find a voucher that works?

There isn't one. GMG25-0YUM5-VKMVU expired a week ago.
Reus (lvl3) is kinda pain: people rebel, panic, war and kill they gods, it might be a bit too realistic for a game, I mean.
What's most annoying, it is really easy to kill giants and that means definitive game over (meaning you get nothing out of it), as it is very easy to destroy the village if you try to "reason" with them by sending disasters, what's a little better but not by much.
Ain't those last percents that take the same time as the rest of a game?

I really need to play through this game myself soon.

So, Dark Souls.
I fought and beat
Manus and Kalameet
Manus' Dark Magic attack that surrounds you and then closes in. Even with the Silver Pendant, it probably killed me 5 attempts in a row until I got the timing down for deflecting it (since...I didn't see any way to actually dodge it unless I somehow ran outside the circle in time)
I swear, they should have made
Kalameet's tail
I don't want the game to be over. ;__; I'm sure there are other things I can do before I challenge the final boss...
How many times has your save been wiped? How many more times will it be wiped before you finish?
