^^^ Some people have remarked that the curator thing seems to be basically made for Total Biscuit.

The Steam Music Player allows you to play soundtracks from the games you bought that came with them.

[up][up] Not surprising.

So anyone else up for the TVT group curating? Still glad to assist with recommendations if we decide to.

As of now, following TotalBiscuit, Rock Paper Shotgun, Jesse Cox, Double Fine Productions, The Angry Army and Sips.

I dunno, can you do that? Like just be a curator?

Oh really when?

How can I be a Steam Curator? Any Steam Community group can become a curator. By default, the officers of all groups have permission to make recommendations as a curator. To get started, go to a Steam Community group that you are an officer of and click the 'Curator' tab.

Click here to see your groups.

Apparently, yes. First we would need a Troper group. Unless there is one already.

But that's a story for another time.

FYI, I'm helping to run a group that keeps a comprehensive list of all (and only all) the Japanese indie games on Steam.

Is there a way I can get a hold of metoxys?

Or could I start a new group for this purpose?

Steam declared my brand new birthday giftcard invalid. Bullshit. My mom wanted a refund but they have to make that so fucking difficult I don't she's gotten one.

They suck.

Valve are not the best at handling customer service, true. Apparently it is much easier to get a refund in the UK (or so I heard).

[up][up] How would this Curator thing work? Tropers pop their heads in an recommend games with attached reviews?

-10% to -15% is the standard on-release discount.

It seems weird to me that they have on-release discounts. I'd think it would make more sense to do the opposite: raise the price on launch day. It' be a dirty tactic, but it seems like it would be extremely effective.

Payday: The Heist is free if you grab it in the next 24 hours and Payday 2 is on sale.

Always wanted to try it but never had the cash so this is great

There was a free weekend going on for a buttload of games, as well being on sale.

So I picked up Awesomenauts for 2.49, as well as the Starstorm expansion. And I'm glad I did.

After so long, Lost Saga is finally available on Steam, with some neat DLC one can pick up if they want.

Unsurprisingly, the negative reviews from some are either people who haven't given the game enough of a chance to see that it's clearly not Pay 2 Win, and from butthurt people in other countries that can't play this, the North American version.

Never mind that there are already versions of Lost Saga where they may be that they CAN play. Like Europe.

The real kicker being that some are accusing the game of being 'sexist' due to having to pay to change Heroes to the opposite gender (they all start as Male) It's perfectly possible to get free Style Packs that let you tailor their appearance however you like.

Steam's recent beta update has introduced a big new feature: Steam Broadcasting. It's basically Valve's version of Twitch made for Steam. It looks interesting, so I'm planning on using it tonight just to see if it works out well. Thing is: it doesn't turn on unless someone else joins in and watches me, so I encourage you to check me out whenever I play a game with it on.

So, do we usually share our steam accounts here?
