Try restarting Steam if you haven't already. That sometimes works when a pre-loaded game won't become available to play. Might work here.

Serious Sam 3 - $8? Worth it?

Panthera · 05-07-2013, 11:25 AM

I'd say yes, if you like classic shooters and have a sense of humour.

Figured I'd repost this here...

Brütal Legend is currently $7.99 over at Gamestop. You have to grab the code from inside the Impulse app, but once you do, the code activates on Steam.

Or you could get it, along with Stacking, Costume quest, and Psychonauts for about the same price: http://www.humblebundle.com/

I had restarted, but it didn't help. However, later, it just sort of fixed itself. Steam connects, the games are there, and they're downloading.

All's well that ends well, I guess...

They recently had something like this on Steam, too, I think. I really wished I'd jumped on it.

All the keys are redeemable on Steam.

So I found out. I need to toss them a little more once my replacement bank cards arrive, but, yeah, I now own the first three games in the bundle (don't have much interest in Brutal Legend, anyway). Thanks for the heads-up, though.

Not a deal, but this is sort of the default Steam thread:

Since the last update, you can now put a limit on your Steam download rate, under Settings > Downloads.

So if you don't want Steam to consume 100% of your available bandwidth, you've now got the option to throttle it. Kind of useful for those of us with not great broadband speeds.

That's pretty good news. I have like 300+ games installed. Can be annoying, all the updates some times.

Terraria is on sale for $3.39 for the Midweek Madness. Not the cheapest I've seen it, but it is easily worth the price. I believe the dev is active on updating it again.

Not actively updating yet, but there is apparently a huge content update coming soon...
