Here we go:

steam is basically where people buy PC games these days.



This is where we can talk about our horrible sale-inflated backlogs.

here is a link that will quantify your shame:

I dunno, that's not bad.

I wonder what I've not played at all...

Team Fortress Classic
The Ultimate DOOM
TRAUMA
Warhammer® 40,000™: Dawn of War® II - Chaos Rising™
Wolfenstein 3D
Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny

Some of those are incorrect, as I played them back before Steam started tracking time played I am pretty sure. Others seem incorrect because they are DLC (the BC2 Vietnam thing for example, I have certainly played that before). Some of them seem to be just wrong and I don't know why.

I know for a fact I've played San Andreas, and Deus Ex, and Dreamfall, and some of the Star Wars games...

So if I were to edit that list based on the ones I am 90% sure or better that I have actually played it looks more like this.

Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes
Counter-Strike: Source Beta
DOOM II: Hell on Earth
Final DOOM
Grand Theft Auto

Quake Mission Pack 2: Dissolution of Eternity
Revenge of the Titans
Shadowgrounds: Survivor
SiN
SiN Episodes: Emergence
SiN Multiplayer
Team Fortress 2 Beta
Team Fortress Classic
Wolfenstein 3D
Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny

Which is far more respectable, I feel, and doesn't contain anything I feel a particular need to go play, as it's mostly stuff that came with big packs, and older games that may or may not actually work.

Legba

52.94% played!

But some of them, like HL2 and Portal I've played loads of even though it didn't track it, so I'm probably doing even better.

People sometime trade digital hats for entire games, I hear.

Kwoaru

Oh god I need to play more games

But first I have to get a hard drive and I'm gonna install every fucking game I own with any sort of replay value

And then I need to play ass bro and ass rev and arkham city and finish saints row 3 and ugh

Uriel

Mine is horrible

http://lambentstew.com/webblog/miniproject/steamanalysis?steamid=uriel1018

Not only because I have so little "played" but also because of the whole Call of Doody being my top played game.

That Dave Fella

I'm still waiting on that damn Xbox pad to arrive to play games.

Eddy

the vast majority of my video game playtime is sunk into like five games. I own like 120? on steam

Sterica

That website is in conflict with Steam.

It says I own 218 games, whereas Steam says I own 326.

I understand expansion and such may not be counted, but I doubt it'll add up.

Legba

I'm annoyed that my Team Fortress 2 Beta is counted as a unplayed game.

Yeah that's pretty bad. Buying all those old indie game packs, and the ID game pack really set me back.

I buy them just to look at them in my awesome patchwork quilt of game logos in the viewer.

Arang

I have less than 50% played, even though I've tried to be good about not buying more games

43% of all time spent on TF2, which also is why I've got stuff like killing floor (shamefully, I bought that just for a hat)

but it counts all the expansions and stuff as different games, and I've played hundreds of hours of some of these before buying them on steam, so I don't feel quite as bad

I have a bunch I have not played nor downloaded because of the sale and my lack of a computer of my own
But then I do find it rather odd they offer game b like Star Wars Battlefront 2 but not 1

I should get the battlefronts and play them online at some point

the singleplayer was almost outrageously easy, which was actually just what I wanted when I was playing them, just to mow down waves of those stupid droids

Brainleech

battlefront was tons of fun even when it devolved into a drinking game
But then in the single player it was really a goal to kill the jedi without dying
The ammount of bottlenecks, ambushes and weird cover was rather silly

Look in my defence

I like playing TF2

Mr. Buttons

This just makes me aware of the fact that I spend and have spent far too much time playing TF2 and not the other 60 games in my library. The time for the rest of my top 10 doesn't add up to 50% of the time I've spent playing that hat simulator

Tef

There's still a strong Battlefront II multiplayer scene!

That game is messed up and not at all how I remembered it.

Sara Lynn

why am I irrationally annoyed that I applied Deus Ex to my account instead of Annie's

it really doesn't matter

but I'm irrationally annoyed to see the playtime on my account

good job being a weirdo, me

Tef

Aww man now I want battlefront III

Space Marine is so good at making you feel like a complete bad-ass. I almost wish I had just played on Easy so I could crush everything harder

50/50, right down the line. I think it's off because I played and finished a bunch of stuff before they added steam time tracking, though.

Abracadaniel

Some of those stats don't sound right

although I can attest to the Terraria one. That was one long weekend. Wound up pinching a nerve in my wrist that left my hand numb for months.

REMEMBER TO TAKE BREAKS, PEOPLE.

FirmSkater

To make you all feel better keep in mind that the lambentstew calculator includes unplayable DLC you might have purchased like map packs and gun packs. So you have probably played more than it says!

Abracadaniel

Wait I don't recall owning Bulletstorm...

I might be sleep-Steaming

Arang

this thread has also reminded me that I bought saint's row 3 and red faction: guerilla, and neither one works

badmouthing volition every chance I get (it's probably my fault somehow)

Abracadaniel

I spent 20 minutes trying to get Arkham Asylum working. Half a dozen different proposed solutions uninstall GFWL, reinstall it, move these .dlls here, move your My Documents folder back to C:\ blah blah blah.

I have no idea which one did the trick, but it looks great and it's way more fun with a controller vs kbam.

Sara Lynn

also shout out to @VargasPrime for my KOTOR copy that I left off my Steam Sale haul list

I can't play any GFWL games because my hotmail account linked to my live account was blocked. I can't unblock it because actual support where you speak to human does not exist for hotmail.


Eat a dick microsoft.

So I'm playing Jade Empire for the first time ever, I'm not far in, 2 hours maybe, but already like it very, very much!

Plus, Bulletstorm is gorgeous and awesome

LTM

I am probably the last person to play through Portal. I finally did it this weekend, since I had the drive space to install it.

It deserves all the praise it got way back in the day.

Now on to the STALKER bundle.
