[STEAM] Maxed out like your credit card. Go post in the new thread!
I probably have over 50 in some form of half finished or another. I'm really bad about sticking it out to the end. I probably have five or six games sitting 30 minutes from done I bet.
And yet another GameBank(tm) Game knocked off - Assassin's Creed 2 is finished! No I didn't collect all the feathers(25/100) or all the Treasures(???), or did ALL the extra events (Assassination/Beat Up/Race) but I'm feeling good about it and looking forward to some AssBro soon! Hopefully it's on sale this coming Sale.

2 is annoying with that, but brotherhood actually isn't too bad. Once you finish the game (or something else on the way to it, I forgot) you can buy maps to put them all on the mini map and get all the important collectables in an afternoon
I mean, I know I could just cheat for the cheevo. I might wind up doing that. But Beat Hazard is one of my absolute favorite steam games (way better than audiosurf) and this is a great reason to play it. I don't really have any music on my computer anymore because of hard drive failure so it was a total surprise to me to find out you can do internet radio in it now. Awesome.
But holy fuck. The christmas music sucks and it is fucking impossible because it has no intensity at all.
But I find myself enjoying it more than SMB at this stage, I just don't think that's a game for me
That game gives me motion sickness, makes me nauseous, and a massive headache.
It's fun otherwise. Hard at times (I'm only up to 1-7), but fun.
I enjoyed the bit trip bonus stage of SMB. It's the only one i've beaten so far but then again I haven't gotten past the first boss of SMB so I haven't gotten to a lot of the bonus stages. regardless if the actual bit.trip games are like that I'd probably enjoy them as well.
I have most of the games that have achievements, but my problem is I haven't started the great majority of them. I don't want to boot them up for the first time just in an attempt to get an achievement.
Thanks to @Heatwave for a Guestpass to Killing Floor. Do you know how these work? It says it works for three days, but I have only one day before I go computerless for a week; is it going to expire if I don't redeem it? Does the 3 days start ticking down now, or can I redeem it whenever I want?

I have no idea, sorry.
The timer either starts when you redeem it or install it. Pretty sure it won't expire so you can wait till you are back from vacation.

I don't want to waste two days by redeeming it now then leaving, but I don't want to waste three days by waiting till I get back and having it expire.
I may be late in saying this, but Jamestown is every bit as entertaining as everyone hyped it up to be. It's like a Cave Shooter, but with a "Cowboys vs Aliens" setting....only good.
In any event, I wish they'd also put the Cave Shooters up on Steam.
The Humble Bundle was worth it for Jamestown alone, but I'm also digging Cave Story +.
The game is as solid as ever, and I enjoy the redone graphics, music, and portraits. My only beef, which I've mentioned in the past, is in regards to the way the story is handled...
I get that the main character is a robot, which may or may not contribute to the fact that he's a blank slate character (or maybe they just wanted to do it for nostalgia's sake), but this creates a bit of disconnect when tragedy strikes midway.
You've got this cute little Mimiga character who is forced to endure a violent transformation, and the only thing you can do is put her down. Her friend, who also tried desperately to save her, is also killed seconds later, and your guy just struts on along with no reaction whatsoever. It doesn't help that none of the other characters ever mention the deaths of these two, though there are two graves erected in their honor when you finish the game.
I could swear in the original version they actually played a congratulatory jingle when you killed her, but there's silence in this one. They still play the jingle when you take King's blade, so there's still a bit of disconnect there.
Maybe I'm thinking too much about it, but all in all it was a pretty evil thing to witness, and the + version made it far worse. Just read this stuff:
I've woken up to get some work out of the way, then on to start my Christmas achievement list!
Anyone up for the Defcon one at some point today?
You can do the DEFCON one solo against the AI.
I have 21 of the achievements out of the way. SpaceChem, Revenge of the Titans, and DEFCON are the only ones left that aren't MMO's. Revenge of the Titans can supposedly be done without changing your PC clock, but I haven't tried it yet. The rest that involve clock changing I'm going to leave alone until their legit times. I think some or all of the Psychonauts ones fall into this as well. Still have even more to do once the ones for the other games unlock.

Speaking of Humble Indie Bundle #4, how come nobody has claimed my copy yet? I bought for you Penny Arcade. Yooooouuuuu!

Defcon one is much easier with friends
Me and a mate did it and it only took about 10 minutes
And I changed my clock for the ones that needed it, mainly because I won't be near internet the days around christmas

Probably get lost in this thread but I know a few people talked about Precursors at one point. It's 7.50 over at Gamersgate atm, cheapest I've seen it I think.
Oh and it looks like details for the contest itself are leaking a bit more. Notables:
"Tickets" this year are pieces of coal.
They're stored in your inventory (so perhaps tradeable)?
Each one is an entry to the grand prize
You can craft 7 pieces of coal into a prize from the "Great Gift Pile"
Given that you have to craft for the pile I'm thinking if you choose to go after them you'll lose your entries into the grand prize drawing, but we'll see. Presumably the pile is like summer's stuff last year, though costing 7 as opposed to 3, maybe they'll be more substantial.

10 I've finished.

It's kind of funny and sad because I can't enter the DLC ones since I don't own Borderlands yet.

Pretty sure that first one won't be a problem here.

You haven't given me a gift, you've given me an infinitely good bottle of wine.
Also, the soundtrack sounds eerily similar to stuff Hitoshi Sakimoto would compose: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitoshi_Sakimoto

Though the + version did apparently revise this somewhat by adding a "...." after you've killed Toroko: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/614971580774557382/B9EC59BC66E060DC95917DD71762DCE324BDE37F/

That's just messed up.
I really don't know what else I could possibly want from Steam at this point. I'm kind of praying there won't be anything I want in the sale.
But I'm already in this deep, so what can I do.

I have 193 games in my backlog. Plus another 19 that I have booted up but not actually finished or played much.
It's over two hundred
And yet, I cannot wait to go to sleep, so that Gabe will leave presents on my screen in the morning.

I put some keys up on facebook, and nobody even commented on it except to ask what Steam is.

Did you promptly de-friend them?

So yes I defriended her, what was I thinking accepting a friend request from my mother anyway?
