When I couldn't crouch because I had bound it to 'X' which was incidentally the same key the game coded to cycle between players in spectator mode, which required .ini hacking to fix, I knew the quality of the game I was working with and promptly uninstalled it. It's a good thing I didn't actually paid money for it otherwise I would've been pretty pissed.
The developers should learn from real PC versions and not ports, like for example Modern Warfare 2 with its graphics settings and mouse control and text chat and stuff.
For me, it's not a PC game unless you have to dig through tons of .ini files and program in all your exact specifications. This love started with Red Alert and it's damned easy to edit rules.ini
Where are the comments on Doc Clock, Polynomial, Big Brain Wolf and Grotesque. I noticed a few comments on Grotesque but I figured one of you would take the plunge and see how good or bad it is. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I'm about to find out how much they fucked up Gothic 4.
The current Steam client beta includes an indication that Steam will do some kind of screenshot management. The file \Steam\Public\steamui_english.txt includes this:
"Steam_Screenshots" "Recent Screenshots"
"Steam_ViewAllScreenshots" "View All Screenshots"
"Steam_ViewSingleScreenshot" "View Full Size Screenshot"
"Steam_MoreScreenshots" "+%morescreenshots_notshown%"
If it's going to include screenshot hosting it would make sharing screenshots in the TF2 thread slightly easier, as you wouldn't have to host them elsewhere.

According to the Steam forums, there is a demo for Grotesque here. It's in German, but you can apparently change the language to English by editing a couple of .xml files in the settings folder. I haven't tried it yet though, so I can't confirm that it works.
What issues to do people have with offline mode? I've literally never had a problem and use it all the time (its on the wife's laptop and she uses it to play a few different games in offline mode on a regular basis.

Great. I start up Squarelogic and notice that all my settings/saved puzzles are gone. Exit out - steam cloud syncs the wiped savestate to the steamcloud.
Goddamnit where did it go. No other clients were ever connected to steam

This is why I disable steam cloud for all my games
Mailed the devs my steam save file, they said on the forums they can restore it based on their server stats.
I assume it occured because I accidentally tried to launch 'Squarelogic DEMO' from the Steam tray icon right click menu. It didn't launch anything (as retail replaced the demo installation) but probably wiped the stats.

yeah I should have turned that shit off.
I've heard other people saying that their progress was wiped, and I doubt that they accidentally run the demo.
There was a nasty problem with Steam cloud and the last Plants vs. Zombies patch that seemed to do the same thing; I was fortunately able to recover my fiancee's save.
I'm sorry in advance if this has been asked and/or answered.
I'm upgrading from XP to 7 in a few days, but I just bought Borderlands today. The download is pretty big, as you probably know, and my speed isn't the best - can I just copy the files to my new windows install? Obviously I'd put it, you know, in the right folder and all, but does it work, or does it need to be properly installed through steam to work?

Please, excuse any socially awkward actions taken by me. I have autism.
You can copy the files over just fine. Steam will probably spend some time verifying them the first time you run the game, but it'll work.

There is an option to save it locally. If you right-click on the game, it says something like "Backup Game Files..." Click on that, and you'll save it to you HDD to be transferred.

You don't even need to do that. Just copy the Steam folder to the new HD. When you re-install Windows, install Steam to that folder/
I just noticed Mass Effect 2 is now only $20 on Steam.
...bought. And the DLC bought too.
Sweet.
Interesting. It's still $70 over here.
Fucking rip off.
Fairly soon you'll be able to buy/import the GOTY edition for next to nothing anyway. Retail Dragon Age + expansion + all DLC is going for £18 as a pre-order price right now, and I'd imagine they want to get the Mass Effect 2 one out before Christmas.
I doubt it. They haven't even finished releasing DLC for it yet
So does anyone know anything about The Polynomial? All I know is that it is very pretty but I'm not sure I want to drop $10 on a game that's not very good.
The Polynomial is a 3D spaceflight music game with abstract, mathematically generated scenery and models which are set to the music of your choice. You fly around in a very strange universe, shoot the enemies, meet and protect the friends, collect bonuses, fly through wormholes, and so on, all while rocking out to the music.
Ngggggh that sounds like the coolest thing ever and it looks awesome
I'm gonna try it out when I get home tomorrow

All creature will die and all the things will be broken. That's the law of samurai.
It's really not much of a music/rhythm game though, it's just a game that happens to let you choose your own soundtrack. The colors pulse in time with the music, I guess, but otherwise it's just a game where you fly around and shoot stuff? I don't know, it was extremely pretty but I think I'm going to pass on it as well.
He really needs to treat Polynomial as a tech demo and create an X3-style open ended space sim with decent combat, and lots of pretty stuff to explore and discover.
Abstract graphics would work well for a space sim.

Man I never played DotA but just from dabbling in LoL and sucking horribly I am already pumped for DOTA2
I wish they had dropped more than just the announcement. Maybe a trailer or something.

Hax0ring a game to make it just work properly for you because the developers are yahoos is decidedly less awesome, I think.
Yeah, that. fucking about just to get playable is ridiculous.

Downloading right now.
Oooh, me too.

i miss simcity so .. ehh.
Others have, and everyone said it's shitty. Like, go buy one of the earlier SimCity games instead.
I was in the Cities XL beta and the majority of my thoughts while playing it were "This would be more fun if it were Sim City".
Just noticed this too. That's a great deal.
Bought without hesitation. Which reminds me, I need to play through the SE of 1 and 2 I bought back in the day. I've beaten 1, once upon a time...
