Yeah I've been noticing that too. It's strange to come back and check the thread and there not be multiple new pages.

Alright everyone, Enhanced Steam has been updated to v1.7 with the following changes:

• Wishlist pages will now highlight games you own
• (Some) of the games you own will show the "purchase date". If you didn't purchase the game on Steam, it will be the date you activated the key. I know there are some bugs with this, but I thought it'd be best to push out what I had and let people test at this point.
• I've updated the logos and links in the options page to point to www.EnhancedSteam.com
• I've updated the extension's icon

These last two items were to try and minimize my risk of using Valve's trademark logo-handle-gear-thingy.

Sadly, I'm not sure if the purchase date thing will ever fully work unless Valve offers me a job

Remember, to update go to Menu -> Extensions -> (make sure developer mode is checked) -> Update Extensions Now. It should also automatically update the next time you restart Chrome.

Thanks for the update. This extension is getting better

the biggest bug I could find that most people will run into: The purchase date cannot account correctly for sequels of games. Things like Darksiders and Darksiders II look almost identical to the parser, so they're likely to return an incorrect date for at least one of them.

Additionally, not everything on Steam has the same naming conventions there, so for example Skyrim shows up on the account page (for me at least) simply as "Skyrim" but the product page shows it as "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim", which means it won't pull the date at all. The same goes for most games that have a TM at the end of their name.

Anyway, I'm interested to get a feel from people as to how much of a hit and miss this is with the games they own.

Also Motoki - I expect to see your wishlist shrink considerably!

Figured I'd ask this here:

Is there a site that tracks which indie games appeared in which bundles? I think I may already have a game but can't remember where I bought it, and an email search turns up nothing. Thanks in advance.

I believe you're looking for this site: http://indiegamebundle.wikia.com

It'll also be added to Enhanced Steam soon!

EDIT: Ninja'd by fox!

^Thanks to both of you! I keep a spreadsheet of every digitial purchase I have made since 2007, but this past year there were so many that I just got lazy.

I actually only had 3 owned games on it and Enhanced Steam caught them all. The only reason I didn't have more is because I went through the painstaking process of 'Wait do I own this game? Let me check' 'Wait do I own this game? Let me check' one by one recently.

And I still missed a few apparently.

Anyway, this is a huge help, thanks.

Search the game title here. Doing so tells you which bundle(s) the game was in. If there are no results, then the game likely wasn't in any bundle. Alternatively, you can search "X indie bundle", where X would be the title of the game.

For instance, typing "Super Meat Boy" yields this. Skimming through the results, you'll see the bundles it was in.

Usually, I'd just search for "Super Meat Boy Indie Bundle Wiki" in Google and it'll usually be in the first 5 results. However, that's just my personal preference.

Great tips, Severose! Noted and applied!

I think the sad answer to your question is: sleep.

That's when you turn on some music, work for another few hours, realize it's 4am and then crash on the couch watching Stargate. At least that has been me while I render and try not to fall asleep on Season 5 of Atlantis.

That seems like way too long in rendering. Sounds like someone needs some cloud computing, or at least a Beowulf cluster. Buy a bunch of shitty computers, quick!

As if anyone could fall asleep to Season 5 of Atlantis!

Anyway in case anyone is wondering, http://www.EnhancedSteam.com (as a webpage, not yet as a service) is just about 100% finished. Feel free to tell your friends about it. I also tried to explain all of the major features with screenshots and an explanation, which I hope answers some people's questions. For example, check out this feature description.

I've got all of the Google stuff set up on the site now too, some of you might have noticed that the extension listing for Enhanced Steam is now a "verified extension".

Just spent an hour and a half playing Don't Starve. It's really cool. It's a survival game, where you're exploring your environment and discovering how to hunt, gather resources, and understand your limitations.

For example, there are rabbits in abundance. You can construct things like an axe and pickaxe, but unless you corner a rabbit or get between it and its hole, they're going to get away from you 90% of the time. I'd found a few carrots in the world which my starving character had eaten, but suddenly, it dawned on me that I might use carrots as bait. After putting the carrot down and backing away, the rabbits slowly approach. Once they begin to feed, you can walk up to them and slay them victoriously, claiming precious, life-giving meat.

I've been impressed with the game. You start with a randomly generated world, and you can get a new world at any time. Although you will die frequently, you retain some of your intelligence (which allows you to craft new items) so that your previous sessions aren't a complete waste. Also, you gain XP, which appears to be used to unlock two unlockable characters.
