Anybody know if there's a way of registering the game with Steam if you bought it from their website originally?

They are working on this and should have something relatively soon, from what their forums say. I'm waiting on this as well, and I'm confident they'll get it set up.

Kerbal Space Program Forum - KSP Now Available on Steam

I'd considered buying this a bunch of times before. Making it a little more convenient by getting in on Steam got me in.

Well in a couple of hours of poking around, Patterns is a lot of fun so far, though I don't really understand all of it - but it has a lot of neat ideas - should be very expandable in the future.

Just watched the trailer for KSP on steam.

Dramatic music, majestic launch, then about 10k up the rocket disintegrates...
Anyone who's played the game can relate, but I thought I was a great hook.

Frozen Endzone on Steam Greenlight now. Go vote!

Steam Greenlight :: Frozen Endzone

Steam Indie Spring Sale going on now - great chance to pick up a bunch of awesome indie games for even cheaper than their normally cheap prices- been loving The Wonderful End of the World, picked it up for 3 bucks.

I love that game.

Thomas Was Alone is one of the best games I played last year and is on sale for $5.

Has anyone played Kentucky Route 0? That's one that has me interested, but I thinking I should wait til the price comes down on it.

Last time I checked there were some complaints about the length of the first (and only to that point) episode. They said it was extremely short compared to other adventure games.

The first episode is fantastic.

Doesn't hurt to wait for a sale though, it will probably have a decent discount once all the episodes are out.

I have a copy of Victoria 2 to giveaway to someone who wants it.

I would give it a try, PM, if you want to gift it to me. tellistto is the name.

It's a good game. Enjoy

Looks fun. Let us know what you think, Tell.

Ty mckerney, I look forward to trying this

Oh, my timing. :)

Guns of Icarus Online - get it, love it, live it - seriously this game is a blast and seems like something we could get a nice FOFC community going in. Online deathmatch where everyone is crew piloting these balloon skyships and trying to destroy each other.

5 bucks on Steam during the ongoing sale.

I'm in, but probably not tonight.

Posted an announcement on the Steam page to drum up interest.

Binding of Isaac for $1.24 - WELL worth it.

PIcked up Xcomm for 14 bucks......christ this game is hard...

Has anyone else picked this up this week?

I've been playing it a ton Pilot - it takes some getting used to but it's a lot of fun, the graphics are nice, and it's really a great theme, something you don't see every day.

The price is only going to stay $5 until Friday though, and then it will go back to 20 bucks.

My username is PeregrineFalcon.

Are you in the FOFC group?

And this goes for anyone on here. You can find a link to the group in my sig. We still don't have much (read: any) in the way of formalized gaming, but the option is still there.

I just joined. Also bought Guns of Icarus and have three copies to give

I'll take one.

I'm phillija in the group.

I would take one too. I just joined the FOFC Steam group as 'bdoebert'.

Never heard of the FOFC group before but I will join.

Here's some basic tips on Guns of Icarus Online from what I have learned - basically at first it will be confusion, especially if playing engineer as the symbols for damage are all over the place, but look for red glowing symbols which indicate components on your ship are destroyed. To start with, work on the hull (bunch of plumbing-type pipework usually near the center of the ship) and the balloon (big tank/steam engine thing usually closer to the top) as those are the essential components. The repair system is basically you can hit a component with a tool and it will repair it, but if it is destroyed you need rebuild - so the big mallet is a big repair tool but the small wrench is great for rebuilding, the monkey wrench is a bit in between,

As a gunner, which I play a lot, keep in mind there are a ton of different guns, and the captain of a ship can choose the loadout so you may see different guns in different places, but the heavy hardpoints are all the same. Experiment with the different guns and get a feel for them - they have vastly different ranges (some are more like a sniper rifle, like the Typhon and Mercury) and others are very short range (Carronades and Flamers.) The flamethrower is quite popular as the fire is annoying to battle on a ship - but all the guns have their place.

Pilots control the helm - the basics of flying are not too hard but there's a lot of finesse to it as you get better - you can control left/right, up/down, and the forward or backward speed. Pilots have various tools which can do all kinds of things like dramatically raise or lower the ship, etc. Keep in mind that if the engines get damaged or destroyed it will really mess with your ability to control the ship.

Additionally, you can click on people's names in the lobby and get options to send private messages or friend them - my username in game is PeregrineFalcon. The chat system is controlled by J, K, L - J is regional chat used in the game lobby that everyone sees, K is team chat for your team - blue/red, and L is crew chat just seen by your ship crew. X is voice chat default - if you are waiting for a match everyone in the match can talk together but once the match starts X is only heard by your crew - the captain (if they are good) will give voice commands telling people which guns to man, what is damaged, etc.

I also didn't know there was an FOFC group. Joined!

Id love one.. epicmeatwad on the fofc group.

I cant get onto Steam. So I cant play Civ5. Seems it wont let me play it through the CD I bought.
What should I do to play the game?
I cant connect to Steam. It says it is my connection or problem with them. I have Wifi and can access the internet. So Im not sure its me.
But I want to play the game.
Any tips?

Maybe your firewall is stopping it. Have you tried running Steam as Administrator?

Thanks for the tip. But it didnt work.
Strange. I guess I can uninstall and create a new account.

just joined as well as Warhammer1274

Why cant I just use the CD to play? Why do i need to have a Steam account?

Its just they way they control DRM instead of on each disk.

That's disappointing. Was Warhammer2515 not available?

That name makes me assume Warhammer was born in December of 1974.

I joined the FOFC group as well. I think my account handle is radii21, but I show up on friends lists as "rdixon"

Joined as xlimey

Thanks for the help. Im up and running again.

I was referring to where Warhammer nick came from. He
s named after the BattleMech Warhammer from Battletech. It was introduced in the universe in 2515.

Now part of the first and last group I'll probably ever join on Steam as the wonderfully generic name of j576201.

I wanted Warhammer3025, but I'd never remember that.

Thanks Bug. This game is chaos, but fun.

Bought Guns of Icarus. NeonChaos in the game

Fair enough. At least you thought about an in universe date of some sort!
