I figured we should have a group there. I invited @scott and desocietas since they're the only two folks from here who I know have a Steam account. :P
-
Oh cool, I'll accept the invite when I get to my PC tonight.
-
@scott once you do send me an invite. I actually loaded up steam the other day.
-
will do.
-
@foxhack, use this for the Group's profile pic. (http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/183777_127039187369796_127029950704053_181659_4296077_n.jpg)

Done.

I think we can un-staff forum this, and open it up to folks publicly.

GAH when did kirby become a staffer D:
As for the public announcement, it would be better if the spokespeople for the site made it. :p
-
I moved the thread out of the staff forum. Ha.
-
... Wha? It still shows up in the staff forum for me!
-
Heheh, yeah, this was public as of yesterday :)

Ya I was going to move it, but apparently I haven't got access to do that for the staff posts. But, ya I got a kick out of this.

I saw that @desocietas was a member when I loaded up Steam for some sales. So I joined without your precious forums! Bwa ha ha!

Steam summer sale for folks who don't know yet...
Dear Esther is on sale for $2.49 right now, $3.74 with soundtrack.
It's won a lot of acclaim... guess I should get it? Should I get the soundtrack, too? Foxhack, I'm lookin' at you 'cause I'm not sure if anyone else owns it.
What else are people buyin'? What're you hoping will go down in price?
And what will the badges get us this time around (hopefully something)?

Dear Esther is a game where you walk around a set path and look at stuff. Not terribly interesting IMO.
As for the rest of the summer sale, so far I picked up Portal 2 for 5$, The Witcher for 2$ and Total War: Shogun 2 for 7$. I don't really go crazy on Steam sales... unlike one of my friends who just bought everything he wanted right away, instead of waiting for them to pop up in the daily deals... basically wasting, like, 50 extra dollars in the process.

That's what I thought when it first came out but all these reviews were touting it as this amazing experience... Maybe I'll just shuck the $3 just to find out with the craze is all about, or maybe I'll see if it goes down to a lower price in the next year or so.

Great price for all of those. That's the great thing about Steam - even if things are half off for a few days during one part of the year, if I'm not anxious to play it yet, I know it'll eventually drop down even more later on... I've gotten some good stuff for about 90% off in previous big sales. This summer sale is kinda meh for me in some respects, but I did pick up Trine 2 while it was under $4. And that drop to $30 for Skyrim was pretty good.

I kinda see it as reviewers feeling compelled to marvel at "Art Games" for no reason other than them being "Art Games", no matter how boring they are. Basically, "See? Games are art!". I tend to find that strange due to games already being art, by definition, so there's no need for "Art Games" that have no actual gameplay... But that's just me :P

Yeah, games are already art... Myst didn't have a narrator - it had puzzles to solve. Thus a "game." I'll let you know if I buy it and decide that the hype was unnecessary ;)
-
Myst wasn't a game, it was a screensaver. :P
Dear Esther is interesting, but it's not worth ten bucks. I tried it but got really sick of how slowly the guy walks. It's terribly pretty, though. I just wish we could purchase the soundtrack -without the game-... as I already own the game.
The composer has it for sale, but for five pounds. :|

I just downloaded Steam today. What do I need to do? I dont know anything about it but Ive been really wanting to get some of the Ys games.

You buy a game from 'em, install it, and *poof*, you've got yourself some gamin' to do.
Check on the store front page for the current deals - they're always changing.

Pretty much that, yeah. :)
Just... feel free to weep for your wallet. :p

a good amount of us are usually online on steam, which is nice for any multiplayer action.

Me and Foxhack just played a bit of TF2, speaking of multiplayer. It was fun, but I was doing uncharacteristically bad. >:(

Thanks for the bump, Scott!
