Still uses 50 for me…
Although: I don’t like the “Games Library”. I liked the full page list, I don’t need info about games that I own. I don’t like ANY of the damn Games List views.
I like the general look of it, but right now I feel like it’s a bit cluttered, the games list is WAY overly complicated for what it’s doing, and I miss an option that was built into the skin I had that shrunk the steam list to show only my games list so I could stick it in the upper right of my screen and leave it there with my games list, and then just open it right back up to community when I needed it.
Also, the fact that it’s called “Library” now confused me for a good 5 minutes while I searched for my games.
The one feature I want most: There needs to be in all of these game lists a way to separate installed and uninstalled games. You can sort by status, but a break between them would just be nice. (This also includes separating favorites from non-favorites)
I like this new download page, though.
the videos page seems under developed. Everything else looks very sexy.
Why is your avatar doing a karate kick while eating cereal?
Would LOVE to, but the Vgui2.dll error is preventing me from doing such a thing.
He’s pointing at the TV because he just saw something disturbing during the show “Pokemon”.
he also happens to be eating on a table. at the same time.
I LOVE the new games tabs, especially the thumbnail version.
Oddly enough I have an ancient ati x200mobility graphics card, running windows xp, and steam is as smooth as always. weird.
Steam is only using 20-30MB for me, idle or browsing the store. That’s at work on my WinXP SP2 computer.
Will check home PC tonight. It certainly is more than old Steam. And the random lag =[
wow, I hate it.
Hm… I don’t know if this is the steam GUI update or just plain stupidity, but…
Last played when-now?
(Ignore the goings-on in VLC, heh…)
I found it a bit buggy when it games, kinda annoying so had to swap it back.
Very beautiful and nicely organized GUI, the new (or maybe I just didn’t notice it before) Downloads tab is great too.
Yeah, the games library tab slowed down for the first two or three games I clicked, but after that, all’s gravy. Except the… Last played tomorrow bit.
Macrumors.com just received a teaser from Valve:
Was accompanied by a note: “In anticipation of an upcoming announcement from Valve.”
Meanwhile, MacNN received the following image from Valve:
And some more:
Steam’s headed to Mac bscly.
:fffuuu:
Unless Valve is toying with the mac communities, but that’s doubtful, since they’d risk too much.
Anyway, Steam + Source coming to Mac could provide the persuader for other developers to move over. As said before, the practice of getting Windows games in OSX really isn’t that hard, expensive nor time consuming.
If that’s true, I’m glad that the Mac will get its Steam too. I hope they fix some stuff regarding Steam running on linux
If this is true, Apple have finally stopped being distracted and given them the go-ahead, which is great for the Linux community too, as it should make it easier to get Steam/Source running on Linux as it would be using OpenGL…
Bigger version of the manual one:
I like the “And, years later, they did.” bit at the end.
I just think both Apple and Valve released the impact gaming on Mac could have, so both got their head out of their arses and sat together to see what could be done. Apple’s move to OpenGL 3 may have been a nice move, considering that OpenGL3 allows for everything DX has atm, apart from one, maybe two shaders that aren’t really that necessary anyway.
Edit: last image showed itself (check youtube for “first mac commercial”):
IIRC Valve tried to sit down with Apple a while back to have a talk about having Steam/Source on the MacOS platform, but Apple never responded.
Looks like they did at last.
I don’t own a Mac nor intend to, but this is good news for the gaming world, I just want it on Linux now, haha.
