    Not really a game or a Steam related deal, but you can get the Standard version of GameMaker Studio for free:
    Explanation: http://gamemakerblog.com/2013/11/25/gamemaker-studio-standard-edition-is-currently-free-50-value/
    In case the previous site is still down: http://www.pcgamer.com/uk/2013/11/26/gamemaker-studios-standard-edition-now-free-for-budding-game-creationists/
    Download link: http://www.yoyogames.com/studio/download

    EDIT: you can use the same method to get your key through the free Steam version. But it seems you can only use the key on the version you download from their site.
    -Download the free Steam version
    -Install and load it
    -In the first menu select MAKE
    -In the next window you will see an UPGRADE TO MASTER COLLECTION NOW! add. Ignore it and click the arrow on the right side too see another add.
    -You will see an UPGRADE TO STANDARD FOR FREE NOW! add. Then click the CLICK HERE BUTTON.
    -Enter you email address and press REGISTER
    -Reenter you email address and press REGISTER to verify it.
    -You will get an email with the key to unlock the Standard version, but you will need to use the version downloaded from http://www.yoyogames.com/studio/download

    I can vouch for this. Game Maker is a very easy to use engine with it's own language (Game Maker Language) which is kinda like Java? But even with the drag and drop coding and interface, making prototypes for game ideas is ridiculously easy.

    While I'm disappointed that the recently released Ashes Cricket 2013 is apparently terrible, I'm surprised it's so bad that it's also been pulled from Steam. Only a few days after we won the first Ashes test, too.

    Will we ever get a cricket game that surpasses the spectacular Super International Cricket on the SNES? Not at this rate...

    So who wants to talk Steam news? Because this is a very, very interesting tidbit. The first official Steam Machine has been announced, by iBuyPower. It's more powerful than the PS4, it retails for $499, and it will be in my living room shortly after launch if I have anything to say about it.

    My wife will watch me play a pretty wide range of games mainly narrative focused stuff and not overly retro looking.
    But there was that one time I caught her playing Viva Pinata on her own at like 2 in the morning.
    Tried to co-op Lego Lord of the Rings but the camera shifting was vertigo inducing for her.

    Divekick is both of those things.

    There are a thousand in-jokes that are very specific to the fighting game community and fighting games in general, everything from S-Kill's stance to Mr. N's neck pillow.

    But it also boils every single round down to the last few seconds of the final round of EVO, where one more hit will take you out of the money.

    I played pinball tonight until my hands were (and still are) sore. I use an XBox controller to play the game, kinda gives it that flipper feel. Seems to have helped with my timing on some of the tables. Earth Defense really clicked for me, and I take back most of what I said about V-12, just takes some board knowledge to score points.

    The left side drain on V-12 is ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT though, my god I am glad I don't break my own stuff when I get frustrated; I would be buying a new controller tomorrow for sure.

    I added all the tables I don't have to my wishlist; come on big sales! send me to pinball heaven!
    If you have not done so already, remap the flippers to the left and right bumper. Then move the manual ball launch to the right trigger.
    doing so made the game a lot more responsive for me.

    Thanks for the tip @viking took your advice and passed your score on a table. Thought my new score would put me ahead of everyone, but I think @drake has been playing V-12 recently. You are right though the top bumpers seem a lot more responsive.

    Edit: Someone should make a Pinball FX2 thread for talking tables and talking trash. I would do it, but the game deserves a better OP than I think i could pull off.

    You are gotten sir, 16.8 million I had an invasion that I rocked for about 15 million. Thats a pretty fun table.

    I need to play Rome again to see if I get transfer my high scores from the 360 to Steam.

    By the way, no one has beaten my Pasha high score yet, any takers?

    So I'm late to the party, but Sequence was actually good fun. I had tried it ages ago, and the combination of rhythm game (which is not my strength) plus managing two more rhythm games, juggling mana, spells and health, just stressed me out.

    But getting Steam cards since then plus wanting to upgrade an "Amateur" game to something higher on Raptr convinced me to give it another go. I stuck with it, and after leveling up a few times I could get by with only switching over to health for high multiplier arrows. Just managing two and a half screens worked better, which led to more levels and more drops and better equipment and spells, etc. If you are rhythm challenged like me, don't be afraid to give it a whirl.

    I'm one cheevo shy of 100% (and "Elite" on Raptr :)), but to get the last spell I need to hit 97% accuracy on that wicked piano piece with the changing tempo and I'm just not sure I have it in me.

    Anyway, I wanted to thank @Lepwave again who gave me Sequence during a Thanksgiving sale... in 2011! Thanks again!

    No worries, according to the leaked email from a few weeks back it is going to be exactly the same as the Christmas sale, so you won't be missing anything that you can't get then except for maybe a couple of flash or dailies.
