BIG OLD LIST OF GAMES ON SALE[/SIZE]
Most Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I register this __Insert Game Here__ on Steam?
Here's a list of games you can register on Steam. You can always add a non-Steam game to your Steam games list, so that people can see you playing it.
2. If I buy a game pack that already includes a game I own, can I gift that game?
No, this was a one-time thing for people who already owned Half-Life 2 and bought the Orange Box. Additional copies you own are lost forever to the ether.
3. Why isn't __Insert Game Here__ available in my region?
Many Steam games might be unavailable in your country if you have the temerity to live outside of the United States. This is not Steam's fault. Regional game availability is determined solely by the publisher, who should be the source of your ire. Gifting works regardless of region so you might find some helpful person in North America who can gift you the game.

Do you have the misfortune to live somewhere other than America? Steam hates you! Luckily, this cool website with prices for Steam games all around the world is here to help, so you can know if you want to ask an American friend to buy the game for you or not.

You need this program.
It reconfigures your Windows IPSEC settings (run it as an admin) to block out all but the servers which don't count towards your download quota on Steam. Now supports a bunch of ISPs through a graphical interface.
Basically guarantees you won't add to your download quota with Steam.
150KB/s
Download TCPview: TCPView
Then, use TCPview (run as admin if you're on Vista) to close all Steam TCP servers (this is important, NOT the UDP ones, just the TCP ones). Steam will then reconnect to a different server, which will hopefully get you a better speed. If you don't go faster in a couple of seconds, retry until you get a speed you like.
This shit totally needs to go into the OP, I've tipped this to so many people already.
Cool Community Add-Ons
Steam Signatures
With such a cool service, someone must have done some extra things to build on it. The forums have one such man, who made some super cool Steam signatures. Suds is his name and killing is his game. Except for the killing. The signatures automatically use backgrounds for the games and the correct icon. Pretty neat, and they're 100% free!
Sample signature:
Avatars
http://www.ddgamer.com/signatures.php. Select Avatar from the drop down list.
You need to delete your Avatar under:
Edit Avatar
Then add that URL in the Avatar URL field in:
Edit Your Details[/QUOTE]
Also, the border changes colour based on if you're online, offline or in-game.
Steam Calculator
You can also use a script on his Steam Calculator page to see how much your Steam account would be worth if you had taken advantage of some obscure, arcane combination of special deals that nobody could ever have taken advantage of. Or something sort of like that.
Steam Sales Tracker
This is apparently a sortable list of all the cool stuff on Steam that you can narrow down via categories (like "on sale") but it may have ceased to work.

Steam iPhone App
You have an iPhone? That money could easily have been spent on Steam games. If you want to make the best of your shiny gadget, however, check out this Steam iPhone app. For less than the price of a grande mocha frapaacino or whatever, you can buy an unofficial program (which appears to have been created by a PA guy who has not stepped forward if the Armadeaddon screengrab means anything) which does all sorts of Steam shit.
Speaking of iPhones...

Yeah Killing Floor is a team game. You can't just solo it and expect to get anywhere. You need to buy the weapon associated with your perk - so kill some zombies and buy it before Wave 2. As you level up your perk, you will be able to start with the weapons you want for your chosen perk.
I believe there is a tutorial mode that teaches all of this to you, and there might be a manual
I have acquired an extra copy of this rare singleplayer poker game. Maybe someone has heard of it before.
5 guys enter, They jabber a bit and then 4 of them rage-quit. Fun!
The Prize:
To enter make a re-text of a Penny-arcade or Perry-bible-fellowship webcomic bit like this:
Except you know Funny! Like those strips in the OP.
Funniest new strip wins.
You can re-word completely or just some words, whichever you find most funny. And topic is free.
Go hogwild!
Time for competition: about 1 Day or 10 first pages of the thread, whichever comes first.
Some disclaimers:
Funniest strip wins. If I can't decide, random winner will be picked amongst the funniest.
Have Fun!
My Backloggery
Keep levelling up for extra bonuses (some significant) and try not to shoot unless you absolutely have to (to build multipliers). I managed to get 4.2 mill on Commander level.
The consensus is that it is awesome and you should buy it.
My Backloggery
Don't even think about it, buy it and enjoy the best purchase you'll make this year.
I mean there are some good deals but hopefully there will be another like Thanksgiving where I can do some gifting erryday.
Install the mod that reduces Black Market prices and removes all the cutscenes. And/or a patch that increases ammo limits by 10x.
Boom, ammo problem gone.
Hopefully this is readable... I only have free photobucket to host it.
I think the Treasure Hunt is something that is going on to keep our attention. I mean, they REALLY want our attention on the 20th...
Tell me, what's it like not having a soul?
I wish you could gift it to me. I would love JC2 like it deserves.

Maybe if retail publishers didn't think price drops and sales are something you only do to year old games, once every 6 months...
I'm seriously considering dropping ten bucks on the beta in the hopes that one day I can register it on Steam.

Don't let it bother you. Maybe I have the same bad sense of humor as well and your changes skyrocket thanks to that!
And maybe if their PC games section was not just a dusty shelf in the back of the shop filled with practice driving tests and copies of APB.

I played for an hour and half or so last night and could not get the achievement. I'd get to 30 and then 45 in 60 seconds and then I'd run out of shootable stuff from where I was.
