Posted in News | SteamCalculator.com Goes Open-Source
Guess this happened a while ago but I'm just noticing now. Spezi|Fanta posted in July that he's too busy to continue working on SteamCalculator.com and as a result has made the Perl scripts used to power his site available to use on Github.
It doesn't look like anyone has taken up his work where he left off though. Taking a quick test-drive at his current version it looks as though packages still are not implemented on his calculator (something the DDGamer version has). It's too bad he's no longer able to work on it, we had a short collaboration and I learned a lot about writing in php. I ended up re-writing all of my own calculator scripts as a result of the work I did with him. Posted in Misc | Looking Back - Risen
 With the recent reappearance of Risen on the North American Steam store page I thought it would be a good time to give my impressions of this often overlooked gem of a game. Posted in Reviews | Now That's Class
 Valve erroneously VAC banned several thousand Modern Warfare 2 accounts over the past week due to an error or some such. In addition to unbanning those accounts, they've given each affected player a free copy of Left 4 Dead 2 (if they didn't already own it) and a second copy to gift to a friend. Stay classy Valve.

Alien Swarm free release
Earlier this week Alien Swarm was released via Steam for FREE! Along with the release came the Alien Swarm SDK and game code. Alien swarm is a top-down, 4-player co-op game powered by the source engine. The game looks beautiful and is incredibly fun and addictive.
 Some of the features mentioned on the store page include:

How The Steam Calculator Works
I get a lot of comments about the Calculator to the tune of "It says I bought X package but I bought all the games individually", "It's not showing the DLC I bought", "I didn't spend nearly that much."
I figured it's time to clear the air and explain just how the Steam Calculator works. Posted in Articles | Feel The Rage - Mactard Reviews Steam
Posted in News | Steam for Mac Launches with 63 Games - All Support Steam Play
 Way to jump out of the gate Valve. Not people to do anything half-assed, they've launched Steam for the Mac with 63 games available at the start, and here's the kicker. If you own ANY of those games on Steam already, then you also own the Mac versions. In addition to their Source games, also included are the latest two Telltale adventures (Tales of Monkey Island and the in-progress Sam & Max The Devil's Playhouse). LucasArts even has versions of all their old adventure games (like Dig) available with SteamPlay, on the Mac. Good news for all those Mac gamers, of which there will certainly be more of now. Also of note, Portal is Free until May 24th. So download that NOW. Posted in News | Civilization V to be Steam Exclusive
 2K Games and Valve today announced an agreement to power all PC versions of the highly anticipated Sid Meier's Civilization V with many of Steamworks' features and offer a special Digital Deluxe Edition via Steam. Customers who pre-order the regular or Digital Deluxe editions of Sid Meier's Civilization V on Steam will be rewarded with a free map pack when the game launches in fall 2010. OK, so it doesn't say anything about being a Steam exclusive, but as far as I know, the boycott of Steam by other Digital Distribution methods is still in effect since Modern Warfare 2 used Steamworks. I guess it's really working out for them, funneling more business Valve's way. Posted in News |
Steam's New UI - Tips and Tricks
 Steam launched their new UI yesterday, and although it was in beta for quite some time and many people have been using it, now everyone gets the joy of using their brand spanking new interface. There are a lot of new features with this new UI so I thought I'd outline the less obvious ones. Posted in Articles |
