There's this thing... It's like a program that lets you keep your IM clients open while in-game and I cannot for the fucking life of me recall what the hell it is. Someone help me out here.

I posted this in the MMO forum, feeling it to be pertinent to their... thing, i guess, but that forum moves like old people fuck: slow, and sloppy.

    add the game's executable to your steam library, and launch it from there, and it will use the steam overlay I think.

    My computer is stupid but sometimes when I play a non steam game and I access the overlay, it's sluggish and I have to hit shift-tab more than once. I have no idea if this is a problem for anyone else, I just thought I'd give you a fair warning.

    I wouldn't expect it to work perfectly all the time with games that weren't built with it in mind, yeah.

    yeah once I figured out how to add non-steam games to steam, I'm pretty much always on steam

    unless I'm playing SC2 because for some reason steam lags the computer to hell and back

    I dunno, my computer wouldn't turn off last night and when I started it this morning it decided to run a check disk thing all by itself.

    I was thinking all of the above.

    Actually I have a shitty harddrive that I can't replace at this moment, and everything just needs to be updated.
    I'm over due for a reformat too I think. Honestly I got enough on my plate, I don't care all that much.

    i have a logitech g15 keyboard with a screen you can connect to msn or whatever and use it to chat while playing games

    thats what i hear anyway
    requires friends though
