What video card do you have? Thats bizarre
It started off as a WiiWare game, so it shouldn't tax your system too much, I would think.

I've seen a lot of 3D stuff going on in the background.
To the guy asking if its mouse controlled paddle, yes it is.
The game is also painfully hard after the first level.
I have an ATI Mobility Radeon X1400, according to my control panel. It may not be a video card problem, though that seems to be the most common problem being talked about on the Steam forums. All I know for sure is that I click "play" ---> resolution changes ---> "beat.exe has encountered an unexpected problem" ---> resolution changes back.

Really fun game though.
How about mouse scroll wheel control?
He meant the paddle can be controlled by the mouse scroll wheel.
edit: reading back, I don't know if that is what he's saying. Don't mind me, I'm just over here

I don't see an option for that. The mouse wheel seems to not do anything during gameplay.

Can't figure out how to install Shattered Horizons for that free weekend
I just played Bit.Trip Beat and I can't figure out if I like it or hate it. It's kind of mysterious in how everything works and pretty hard. I lost at the boss of stage 3.

You got through to stage 3 without losing?
Man, I can't even get to the second levels boss on normal.
Also I'm not sure what you mean by "mysterious in how everything works". Blips come at you and if too many get by you lose. Maybe I'm missing something.
So, if you're playing Trine, and it has the glowing level up icon in the corner of the screen? And you hit random keys on the keyboard to open up a level up menu, but nothing works? And there's nothing useful in the controls config screen? It's supposed to tell you to press 'i' the first time you level up, but it apparently doesn't sometimes.
Leveling up makes the wizard much less obnoxiously useless.
Great, the two games advertised on the front pages are ones that I already own or don't have a rig for.
Hey, is this here infinity battle pack worth buying for Supreme Commander 2?
It's pretty fun I guess. I'm not a huge SupCom2 player or anything (got the DLC only because my friend kept on bugging me to get it so we could comp-stomp), so I can't say regarding the nuances of the new units or maps. But I guess the $3.40 is worth it to see a pimped-out Monkeylord just lay total fucking waste to a base all by itself.

Hmm. I'm stuck with an ATI integrated chipset for graphics at the moment so I think I'll pass on this until I get around to grabbing a new GPU.
Just out of curiosity, is Bit.Trip.Beat an OpenGL game? Catalyst drivers don't seem to have the most robust OpenGL support.
This is why I want terminus to be on GOG so badly, picture it.
You just did a run on a martian transport. You made off with a plethora of goods and are packed to the brim. But you burned a lot of power and its a long ways to the pirate base. A straight line through the gateway and plenty of targets. That money will be worth it but no sense in blowing through it all on refills and being short a few precious credits for the omega launcher.
*BEEP BEEP*
Noooot to mention that you are low on fuel and 1 of your main engines just burned out. Okay, turn off compensators, vector for the gate, power off and wait, just me and the cold vacuum of space. Clock says 1 minute till the gate, just wait and watch the seconds tick by.
*SQUEEE*
Are there any good space combat games on Steam? Is starscape any good?

I think Starscape is a lot of fun. Very arcadey, with some light base management and researching mechanics. The controls are very Asteroids. It's not terribly deep but it's a fun way to blow things up and upgrade spaceships.
edit: And I want a copy of Terminus so bad. It sounds like my kind of game.

The last quarter or third or however many sections the game's divvied up into gets pretty ridiculous with the amount of shit it throws at you. Fun little game up until then, though.
The guy who got me into this game works for JPL then and now and had enough sticks to actually fly in newtonian space. Hell, if we got a real space program, he would be flying in newtonian space.
So when and what is the next big update for steam supposed to occur and is there any sort of publisher absent from their catalogue?
Anyone here know regarding some steam titles if you buy them elsewhere if steam will update them, dlc them, etc? I know black ops is "steam cloud," but does that mean if I get a retail copy steam will take care of it for me?

Hey Penny-Arcade, i am having troubles with running Oblivion. I have a quad core anthlon II at 3.0ghz, a 7200 rpm drive and a radeon 4650 and from what I've read I should be able to play it on high easily. However whenever I play the game and I go into a new area or if I attack or kill an enemy the game will freeze for a few seconds. I have had a problem similar to this in fallout 3 but only about ever 5 minutes. I have googled this problem and I have found no solution. Any help anyone?

Yeah for all intents and purposes it is as though Steam doesn't really differentiate between retail bought CD's and Steam store purchases. If it's Steam cloud on the box, it's gonna be handled by Steam.

Make sure your view is set to "all games" and not "installed" and double click on it in your games list?
Also, make sure you're running Vista or Windows 7, though I don't know if that would prevent you from installing the game (just running it)
You can also view it in the store and scroll down to the banner that says "Free Weekend", which doubles as a link to start the download.

Shattered Horizons takes forever to get going
Mostly because of how weirdly optimized it is, and how much it hitched up for the first fifteen minutes
After that though? Fuck this game rules
I love the concept, and going into "silent running" is the coolest fucking shit ever
But I can see why it hasn't exactly set the world on fire
It needs more Call of Duty-style progression stuff, because as of right now it is five weapons and they are not fancy

Shattered Horizons is dead.
Every time I try to play it, the only active servers are ones with bots.
Well people are playing it now
I guess I'll play for this free weekend and that'll be that
Too bad, too. This game seems really cool, despite it's lack of staying power

the beta had one gun with 2 modes
anyone know anything about this Pound of Ground game? the screenshots look entertaining at least.

Should I pick up Modern Warfare 2? or just wait for Black Ops?
Prepurchase black ops
well worth it.
XBL is FresherDeath12, PSN is MAspiderface2. (Play 360 more, MW2, etc.)
