Morning guys, disappointed with the amazon editor's choice games.
Luck.
You have to get the jump on them, but you're better off avoiding them if they're angry.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Add to Cart buttons and platform icons are now working on the wishlist in Enhanced Steam Standalone.

LOL I am headed to bed soon and I figured I'd update at least one more time before the games are distributed.

Was watching that same video before posting it, lol. It's a good way to do it with just the whip and apparently it's mostly effective depending on what items are in the shop.

Bless you. Wonderful.
Saying "stealth is improved" is understating things tbh.
Stealth is actually viable as a means for completing the whole game. It's completely overhauled from 2033 and is basically binary seen/unseen now and does a very good job of letting you know when you are able to be seen. The change was definitely for the better, though sometimes I wonder if they went too far in the other direction and made stealth too easy?
Regardless, it's my GOTY, you did good buying it
Thanks.

Oh sweet. Batman Arkham Origins for $19.25 after code discount. Ughhhh I'm on the verge GAF, push me either way. Need opinions stat. I loved the first two, and honestly wouldn't mind more of the same for that price.
It's disappointing. I was gonna buy it after the sale ended and it reverted to the 80% discount it had over here (so 3.99 for it), since learning that it is a different entry in the library and it doesn't overwrite the base game.

most of them should actually be cheaper.
this is great news :O haha it shouldn't conflict with any skins right?

Really... so Bioshock Infinite *might* be cheaper than $9.99 like it is now? That's the only one I can see myself buying but not at $39.99. Even if it stays at $9.99 I'll be happy.

I got to stop clicking Restart Steam before reading the client patch notes. Have to keep on looking it up afterwards.
damn... maybe I should have done that instead... hmm
ok thats enough gifs from me for today lol
Mako gifs? I knew I liked you for good reasons, Rhaknar!
ES in the client, it's gonna be so good!
Just finished my first game of 2014, Bioshock Infinite. Man, that ending hits you like a ton of bricks. A lot to take in for a 10 minute ending. Overall, I enjoyed the game. It can be repetitive and you kinda feel they wasted the Infinite universe. I loved the acting and the story though. I can see why people hate the game. Personally, it is worth the <$10 ride.
I think I will play Don't Starve for the rest of the weekend before moving onto Call of Juarez.

Guacamelee is awesome, but that is one of my few complaints. I basically put my hand completely over my eyes since I feel weird/flashing lights/colors bother me, even though I've never had a full seizure.
I may have made a Steam discussions post asking for an option to turn it off, but I don't know if any of the developers saw it.
Also, the talk about killing a shopkeeper in Spelunky reminds me of Nethack. Pretty much never worth killing shopkeepers since if you're human you get a murderer penalty (may annoy your deity and makes you lose telepathy if I recall correctly), AND they're strong, and perhaps most importantly it's easier just to steal everything with a pet.

I've only done it with the boulder trap and I want to say bombing one like crazy when he was stuck in a pit somehow.
I'm really liking the additions of badge completion cost and card prices. Though I really wish the cost to complete would be displayed on the full badge list page instead of having to go to each individual badge's page, so knowing what's worth completing or idling to sell would be a bit easier.

Do you know if its possible for you to add bigger icons for the list view with icons enabled?right now the icons are 16px,can you make them 32px?

The amazon promo $5 is live, guess you can get Infinite for $5 since it is $10, may do that.

Right, it should work with any skin and/or browser. Never thought I'd see the day that Enhanced Steam would work in Internet Explorer
but that day is today
Soooogood
Good idea. The data is currently pulled from http://ehsankia.com/steam/ but I'll see if there is a way to merge these requests for the one page.
This can only change what is being rendered in the browser portion of Steam, so it can't really do anything with the look/feel outside of the store and community pages.
I think the price of Bio is going up to $13 tomorrow. And the deal isn't live until tomorrow/in a few hours.
Bombing like crazy or shotgunning from a safe distance are the best ways to handle them once they're out for spelunker blood. Screaming is optional (but it happens)
Play the dlc as well.

How do you activate the promo? I got like 20 emails about it but whenever I click on one of the games and go to buy, I don't see the $5 off applied.

It applies automatically, but it doesn't go live for about another 90 minutes.
You can always tweet them, they respond on their twitter pretty regularly.
@Drinkboxstudios if I remember correctly.
Yup, I totally forgot I won a season pass from Volcynika. Been meaning to install it. How long is the dlc?

Did you add the new location in Settings > Download > Steam Library Folders ? Not sure if that will fix it, but worth a shot. That's where you can add alternate locations so it might fix it for ya, might not.
hmm. how should i explain this.
I basically moved my Steam installation from C: to D:
all the games were installed on another folder in D:
now moving them to the Program Files (x86) directory in D: made all the uninstall references invalid ><
The game is technically inferior to the previous 2 with plenty of janky animation & bugs.
And there's one bug at the end that's game breaking if you're playing it with kb-m, though there's a workaround for that.
BUT the game itself is great, better than AC I think. The boss fights actually feels like a boss fight, and there are plenty of them.
Most of the side missions ties nicely into the main story, and the collectible aren't as ridiculous as AC.
2 hours max, and that was me getting everything.
