At the risk of derailing the thread,I don't see what's wrong legally with downloading free streamed stuff, so long as you don't intend to sell it or rent it out to someone or whatever. Given that you have to go to the site to download the things anyway, they're still getting the hit counters to please the ad guys, and you get to watch the things whenever you want.
So long as the thing is going to stay online for the time it takes you to watch (and delete) it on your HDD, I see no issue.
Yeah, that's pretty much how I see it. It's not technically legal, but it's already up there on the websites (which have been up for years and will probably continue to be) and it's not as if I'm actually stealing it, just finding another way to view it at my convenience.
Technically illegal, but morally clear. Or something.
American McGeee's Alice on the PS3. Little weird how they didn't put it on the same disc as Madness Returns, considering you need the sequel to actually play it, but whatever.
Strong Bad Episode 2. Picked it up the season in the $9.99 deal. Ah, it's great to be playing a Telltale game from their heyday (that time around Tomi, Sam & Max season 2 and Wallace & Gromit).
Penny Arcade: On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode One and Episode Two, and the Steam Fable Pack which included Lost Chapters and Fable III with all the DLCs.
My parents have a bucket load of audio CD's, and they have never ripped any of them. EVER. They don't listen to said music on CD either anymore, probably because of the nuisance created by having to search for a particular album when you don't even remember what you have.
Come on now, people. MP3's are not a new tech. My mom does download songs from iTunes or Amazon, but I took 90+ discs home with me to rip and (properly) tag the files for them knowing full well that they do have more music than this (ie. there are other albums I remember listening to as a kid that I didn't find yet to rip, such as the 1989 Batman film score). It's just a waste for them to have bought all this music and never use it.
I'm using four resources to do this: WinAmp Pro, Mp3tag, Album Art Downloader, and Google. I would use Google alone to search for my own album art, but some of my parents stuff is rather obscure and I need all the help I can get with them.
Bunch of Heroes, so I could get the Christmas achievement. I only played for 15 minutes, but I can already tell it's not really my sort of game. Oh well, at least I didn't spend a fortune on it.
Just downloaded Aquaria from off my Steam. That game is seriously fun, though rather difficult at the part that I've gotten to as I have run out of things to heal myself with...but not run out of enemies.
Two DLC for Fallout: New Vegas (Old World Blues & Lonesome Road) for the 360. I've been patiently waiting for these to be on sale and at least for today they are so I'm very happy that I got all 4 of the main DLC packs for half their normal price. Now just debating whether to do the same thing for the Gun Runners Arsenal.
Also these might not be my latest downloads, depending on how long they take as I've been downloading/installing Rage for a good few hours now and it looks like there's more than a good few hours left to go.
I hope you find some healing recepies. You will need them.
I found a few, but I can't find enough leaves to keep my supply well stocked. I guess what I'll have to do is spend some time grinding in the home waters until I get enough foodstuffs stocked up and then go back to the temple I was exploring.
Sonic Generations. I probably should've held out and got it on the 360 (and may still get it on the 3DS), and I really shouldn't have gotten it at all right now, but I was weak. I blame Chemical Plant Zone.

The 3DS version is a completely different game, I will warn you.
(Its also pretty short, my little bro completed it in about 4.5 hours. (I had to help him beat the final boss, which I cleared IN THE FIRST TRY! I didn't even play that version beforehand and I beat him, so the game is fairly easy...))
Not trying to deter you though, it does look nice and mostly plays well. Classic Sonic has homing attack though, which is a bit odd, but nothing to really get mad over.
ScummVM for Mac. However, when I try to run games, the FMV cutscenes sound is messed up and the games crash once gameplay begins! I can't figure it out at all. Hmph.

I like it quite a bit better than Irishmile's hair mod, as Alebrush's looks more like the hair from the other games.
I've also grabbed the Background fix, which is actually the last thing I dl'd, but eh.

By the way, does anybody know of a way to find out how much disk space your entire Steam library takes up put together without adding it up yourself?
Ask someone very nicely to do it for you?
I just go to my Steam folder and check the properties of the steamapps folder which gives the size of said folder. Mines at about 60GB right now.
A Puzzlebox answer if I ever heard one.
Good idea. After a few minutes of counting, this method says that my Steam library is tying up 135 GB.

Two reasons.
1) Christmas Achievement.
2) So I can see just why people say it's so bad.

Super Mario 3D Land is the superior game by far.
I know, that's why I still think I'll get it after getting the other version. I'll probably also get Sonic Colors for both Wii and DS.
There's your problem. :P

And if you get it in the next 50 minutes, you can get it for the holiday price of 3.74 too. Otherwise, it runs about 15 bucks.
As badly as most software runs on my Mac, Scummvm is one of the few programs that works just as well as it does on Windows for me
New hard drive, installed ALL THE GAMES.
Just realized that, either inadvertently by my actions or by Steam's updates, my Steam skin wasn't showing anymore.
So, I downloaded the latest version:
