Guys, I've been taking a look at some of the graphs...
I'd just like to say that while none of you are fired, I am very disappointed in the performance that some of you have put forward. We're up, but we're not up enough.
Basically, what I'm trying to say here, is we need people in Charspike 24/7. I want +11 int rings falling out of the goddamn sky. I want to make a toilet out of +11 int rings, shit out +11 int rings, and wipe with +11 int rings, after which I flush the toilet, and a pile of +11 int rings washes it all down the pipes, which are made of +11 int rings.

What if you don't play Steam games?
Braving the sarchasm (and trying not to re-rail)... it works just fine (caution, 1440x900 res). All you need to do is go to Games (on the menu bar) -> Add non-Steam game to My Games list... and Steam Community will auto-magically work. I've only tried it out with Guild Wars and WoW, but the overlay is as polished as what you'd find in a multiplayer Source engine game like CS:S or DoD. I can't help but compare it to Xfire at this point, and considering it's just into Beta, I'm rather pleased: + Group system kicks the crap out of Xfire's. + In-game is much more polished, although the new version of Xfire's is nice. + Auto-resizing avatars... super shiny! + Apparently in-game just "works", so no need to wait for a patch to release support for new games. - It doesn't track per-game stats for non-Steam games. - You can't exit Steam while a game you have Steam Community running in is running as it considers it a "Steam app". (I assume because of the overlay functionality.) ? More datamining, FUCK YEAH! EXCITEMENT indeed.

What is the +11 INT RING : SOJ exchange rate?
Well, I'm not gonna lie. Things are looking pretty grim right now. The value of the SOJ is going through the fucking floor. We need to pull out of this business, and we need to do it fast. I'm tired of these handjobs giving us the run around on our SOJ turnaround times. We'll talk about this later with the board, but I don't think they're exactly happy with it either.

SOJ prices have gone through the floor because some devs are in the Fartknockers guild and having been spawning SOJs by the millions to fund their war against Whooligans and their many allies. Which gets us back to +11 int rings because they fall under Dev Youb (3rd Teir Magician Accessory Item Auditor) who is clean. The +11 int rings are current hot sellers because it the best ring the Jungle Paladin FotM build. Well, any reverse dps fighter build, really.

ePSXe didn't work at least (would open up the game window but I'd just get a black screen). It added a "GameOverlayRenderer.dll.log" file to the directory so it's trying I guess. I'll play around with it a bit and see if I can make any progress. I at semi-random picked out Noitu Love from the indie Schild Chronicles, and it launched just fine, no overlay though (lol).

I was pretty impressed to find I can use it to call the PotBS launcher and have it all work properly once the launcher calls the actual game.

You added WoW to your list of Steam games? So like now under "My Games" it lists WoW? !?!?!?!?!?!

Important thing to note is that you need to have enabled the community beta option under Settings otherwise you don't get the menu option to add non-steam game to your list.

Still no invite for me. Is there a way to copy friends from another user? I don't relish the thought of adding everyone individually- tried with XBL and gave up after about 20.

Not yet got around to the Steam reinstallation after 'The Great Mobo Disaster'. When EP2 and Portal come out, I may get with the program.

Contrary to evidence, I do actually have some games through Steam. The problem is that I don't play them anymore. Sorry guys, you just won't get too much data mining off of me.

I'm not sure either of them can really gain any sort of market dominance in the PC gaming field. Looking at something like WoW's "The Armory" makes me curious how the whole datamining ingame stats thing is going to end up overall. I can't really shake the thought that as per the norm for PC gaming everyone is just going to roll their own on this sort of thing.

I'm guessing that so far, this doesn't log time for any non Steam games.
Also can't seem to get it to recognise the games that can be bought from Steam but that I had already (Deus Ex, Quake et al, other stuff) - it just loads the shortcut. Anyone else managed to get aroudn this?

I happen to have both versions of Arx Fatalis installed but I have not bothered to check anything else. I do know that the two do not overlap at all.
