I can be so lazy sometimes, hehe.

For some reason, since I reinstalled it (that was back when Patch 2.24 first came out), I didn't add it as a Non-Steam game.

I added it this morning as Non-Steam game.

In full disclosure, it wasn't GOG (Tho they helped), but Stephen Kick of Night Dive Studios who made it happen.

BTW, is there any advantage of attaching a non-Steam game to Steam? The only thing I saw the one time I tried was that you get the overlay. I was hoping it would keep record of play time, but it didn't.

It's hit or miss if a non-Steam game will work with the overlay. Hell, not even all Steam games work with it.

Was 1900x1200 officially added via Patch 2.4?

About adding a Non-Steam game while on Steam - you can do screenshot-taking on Steam (and add those pics); and Steam-Friends can see what game you're playing (in case you all want to match-make a game; or they want to buy what you're playing; etc).

With Non-Steam games added on Steam - you do NOT get Steam time-tracking; automatic Steam updates; Steam-Cloud support; and all of that Steamworks-related stuff.

I've played all the SS2 I need to for a lifetime but it's nice to see it get support for the future. I may get it again when it comes out on Steam. It's a classic.

Also, it's a surprisingly easy game. I always thought Bioshock was harder.

The main advantage of setting it up as a shortcut is the overlay. That way you can talk to people without alt tabbing. It's also nice to sort it through Steam if you don't like cluttering your desktop or start menu with thousands of shortcuts.

So... It doesn't activate on Desura, then?

UHG! F*** I'M SORRY!
You are RIGHT DESURA isn't DRM.
Pity me much. You should I regularly do.

If they could only get the rights to some of the old Star Trek games..... Elite Force,....Armada, ...Bridge Commander

I just don't want to miss it if it happens lol

Really tempted to just go ahead and pick it up but the CAG in me finds these prices insulting.

I'm trying to remember who... Geno?

SomeCAG missed the IGS Crazy Machines Bundle since it disappeared before the timer was up last time.

Thanks Seamoss.

Good eye! Now to see if someone bought the IG to save me a buck.

Sine Mora for $3.39. This should be pennies/bundle fodder by now.

I think the reviewers failed horribly on this one, giving it positive reviews. It's all flash and botches so many of the little things that make the genre good that I can't recommend it but for pennies/bundle fodder you could do a LOT worse. Within the shump genre, you could do a lot better though.

Raptr is the way to go if you want to track playing time. Gives you a summary (though not as accurate as Steam sometimes) and then ranks you based on the entire community and your friends.

IGS is reserved for IndieGameStand!

Might I suggest IGPoSS?

I'm glad I held off then - I wasn't sold on the game, despite plenty of talk about it when it was first released. It sounds like I made the right call.

Also remember to take into account who posted that.

Besides the CAVE games on ios/360, what STG's are you talking about? If you're just playing the role of curmudgeon, that's cool, but if you have some suggestions for pc I would love to hear them [no fan-made stuff or Jamestown suggestions please].

And yet everyone is missing the most salient point. Sine Mora (steam key) was $2 on GMG not long ago.
