Grabbed the Vicky II bundle that was mentioned, but the game hangs and crashes every time I try to run it. :(
Hey Beeb, if it crashes at the "initializing maplogic" step, try this fix, it worked for me:

Yeah, I had the same problem.  A lot of Pdox games have that map cache problem.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Grazie.  That's exactly the problem I was having.  I'll try tonight.

Skyrim is five bucks on Steam.

The whole bundle for 14.

Anyone know if Stronghold Crusader 2 is any good? I got a -10% Steam coupon on it, the subject in general seems interesting (never played the previous games though).

New steam layout. By default I have to hate any changes to a layout until I can't remember the previous layout. -_-

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

For some reason the bluish tint throws me off, gonna get used to it I guess.

They are recommending me games that I already own, so the new store engine needs some tweaking.

You can tweak some of the stuff it shows you - look for "customize" buttons in some of the windows.

I like that if you look at a game's DLC list it will grey out stuff you already own. Also, if you browse/search games in lists it will often show you a quick thumbs up/down button based on user reviews.

Oh, they've added a music player too. Interesting.

If you don't like Steam's color sheme, it supports skin modding.

Wouldn't get Rome II for free, frankly.

That bad, huh?  I picked up Rome I, and I am thinking about Napoleon and Empire.  I also grabbed the rest of the clan packs for Shogun II.

Most of Paradox stuff is between 50-85% off on Steam.
