Party time! Excellent!
I'm not a big console fan, but I like it! and it seems to be a lot faster than the "normal" steam interface, especially the store.

Yeah, look it's a cool feature. They're not forcing anyone to use it. So that's good.

My problem with Big Picture Mode is the overall integration still isn't quite there to fully realize a controller only experience. I can't make a 'Steambox' since there is no way to launch into BPM using your controller so you still need a KB+M. Then you also get some games which use a launcher, which also require KB+M. It would be nice if it automatically changed modes when you detected you switch from KB+M to controller.

Actually you can boot into BPM by default. It's in the settings. Similarly you can launch steam when windows starts up.
Also, pressing the Xbox controller's guide button while in the normal steam UI it launches big picture mode.

Ok those features must be new then, when I tried it didn't have any of that.

Not exactly a special but a remake of a very old game on one of those Golden China consoles. Thought it as worth a mention.

There is a Counter Strike: Source Beta already for ages. Plus, Team Fortress 2 went free to play a while ago already.

It's probably where they test changes and people can give their input on it before they push it to the main game.

I see Jade Empire: Special Edition is less 75%
I don't remember much of it but I do know I never finished it for some reason. it was pretty decent I think

I've been invited before quite a while back but never went to have a look. Joined it now and it's actually such a good idea. Will enter some of the draws and later create one of my own.

I wonder how legit this is: STEAM Winter Sale 2012. Supposed to start on the 21st. (I see what Gabe there! Because of the Winter sale, the world CANT end with all those games purchased and not completed....mind you, I have a seriaaaaaas backlog on STEAM so the world end in the next 50 years!
Anyway, I googled and found this countdown thingy.
Speaking of steamgifts, I wish the ValveStore would ship to SA, they have some insanely incredible stuff I would kill the cutest kittens for! Just the Portal stuff alone is awesome! T-Shirts, books, muggs, small game char and object models...
Where can I get this stuff in SA?
