I think I'm starting to get addicted to World of Warcraft guys... I've been meaning to play Steam games to clear up my library but I just keep going back for a few more quests.
Pretty sure the DLC is bioware bucks only, and they never sell bioware bucks for cheap, or drop the bucks req'd to DL.
Yeah I saw that one but the other individual episodes aren't on sale. I bought all these on 360 years ago and wanted to have them for a Trilogy playthrough but I can never force myself to buy them at full price.
Damn them.
The Steam app is to Valve's software as Ricochet is to Valve's games.
Are they ever on sale on PC?
I bought BW points to buy them a year ago but I have the bug that many people have where it's not possible to buy the DLC at all. Can't even grab the free stuff. I paid a lot for those useless BW points and the support won't help me :/

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
If you're talking about the Android app, it's pretty much abandonware at this point and hasn't been updated in a loooong time (March 1, 2012).
It's almost 3 years old.
I'll take that explanation.
Yes the android app, and well that's just sad.

I bet someone with mobile experience could update it within a day. What the hell Valve.
I swear I've seen a sale in the past. I also remember bioware points discounted on Amazon last Christmas but...not sure how much of a deal it actually was in the end.

I bet someone without mobile experience could update it in a week, two tops.
Earlier this year someone took a stab at updating the existing app and modernizing it.
I guess the official reason it hasn't been updated is that Valve sacked the entire Android development team a few years back. The iOS version has been updated since, but there's really no reason that an (almost) 3 year old Android app should be considered acceptable.
Wow, imagine if someone hacks it and compromises all the accounts? Shouldn't they... you know, keep this thing up-to-date?
Its a smart move by Valve.
What would be the point of calling it "PC" gaming if you could use a mobile phone to navigate the client. Next thing you know you find some cool game on the android app store and you fail to ever care about PC gaming again. Valve wants you on their client/site at all times with you keyboard/mouse/gamepad/eyeballs ready to play a game the second you buy it.
I just saw Raiders Sphere 4th on Greenlight. I'll admit it isn't the prettiest game I've ever seen, but as an Ace Combat fan, it definitely looks like something I'd enjoy playing.
Willing to vouch for the version you linked to as legit? I'm always a little leery of installing something like that blind, but if you've vetted it, I'll install it. I'd really like to have a version of the Steam app on my tablet that doesn't suck. >_<

Please be excited.
So they really did turn Geometry Wars into Super Stardust. I remember back when Stardust came out people called it a Geometry Wars wannabe too lol

The whole game isn't like that, level 2 just happens to be a sphere. :3

That's definitely a concern, yes.
I've not used the program, but I know others who have and their accounts are still in perfect shape. The developer contacted me a while back (during the summer sale, I think) and wondered about incorporating some Enhanced Steam features into the app itself and said he was looking into that as a possibility.
I'm pretty certain it's okay, but a healthy amount of skepticism is always a good thing.

I loved super stardust.
as someone who preferred super stardust to geometry wars now my curiosity is now piqued

If it's on XDA and the thread is large, odds are it's legit.
I've used some variant of that in the past and I can't say anything negative about it, though I don't know what the real differences between it and the client on the play store are.
1) Looks like shit, but hey it is not all about graphics. I'll buy that if it gets on steam.
2) Come on live a little. I've installed countless somewhat questionable apps, and been just fine. I think.

It wasn't that long ago that Enhanced Steam was considered a questionable app by most. For some, it still is.
It's made by that Jason Momoa guy, and I saw what he did in Debug, man.
Can't trust him!
How to upgrade the Steam app.
#1 Make an app that contains a browser
#2 Set default page to Steam store

Somebody somewhere cares!
Isn't that what the Steam Client already is?

German's sleep!? I kid.
A couple of hours of sleep each day increase productivity!

Sleep is highly inefficient.
Autumn sale this late? Come on Valve, it has already been winter for 3 months in Sweden.
Which reminded me to punt this up for the new page.
Someone keep kicking it up each page until it's actually time =p
Valve ain't Ikea.
Well, I'm awake. Didn't go to bed yet - in fact. So productive - playing games all night. (5:30am)
