Question

Honestly i did not think my contempt for Valves curation could get any worse

but no...... Silly me for thinking it could not get worse.  Soon it will be official. ANY old crap really will make it on to the store.  Those indie devs who make those little gems are going to get even more swamped with rubbish than they do now......


come on valve.. .Get your shit together!.

    There's got to be a better way to display and advertise games on steam, I find it quite hard to find games on there. They need to employee people to test games and then post the best games on the front page.

    Regarding B&Q paint for instance. I absolutely believe that they DONT just sell just  any carp and they DO have a vetting before putting in their stores

    @Morgrum - That's the type of things Steps would sing. Steps are all grown up members though, so they have no excuses. Which brings me to this song. You can skip to 2:32 of the video if you dare..

    I prefer Valve's approach. Let everything in and allow consumers to vote with their wallet, way better approach than what Oculus is trying to do. Hell, I still have that $15 credit cause there isn't a single game offered here that interests me that I don't already have. And I've only bought 3 games here. :/



    3 games? Are you been serious? Are you even a gamer? Why did you buy your Rift? lol

    I have 23 games installed from Oculus store that I play on a regular bases. What are your 3 games? I could recommend loads to you, even free ones too.


    I have a decent number of VR games, just not from the Oculus store as they don't carry the types of games I like (shooters and flight sims, both with modern graphics). The ones I have from here (paid only) are: Arizona Sunshine, Carnage Chronicles and From Other Suns. My favorite Oculus game is Robo Recall though, but it's free and thus not counted. From Other Suns is pretty good too. The other two are things I probably should have passed on.

    Back on topic, I agree that sifting through all the garbage on steam is a real pita. But one man's trash is another's treasure. SkScotchegg's idea of a good game and mine are a prime example of that. What he considers good games are very likely something that you'd have to pay me to play. And some of the things I like would probably not interest him at all.

    Ive heard worse it kinda reminds of of 80's sitcom intros.
    What really irked me was that the song was t syncined to the video.
    It was as if I was watching Kung Fu theater without it being totally awesome.

    So the steps is it two guys pretending to be straight two girls pretending to be straight And a token straight female thats what I got out of that.

    If you watched that video to the very end like I did and take your eyes off the lead singer in the bikini top for a second you’ll notice they’re not even in step which is kind of ironic concidering they’re called steps. 



    I think it was just the jugs that were out of step..

    I just wikied them and it seems they actually put the steps to dance to their songs in the covers.

    Basically a cut in play group to try to recreate ABBA.

    Dont get me wrong I have a secret love of listening to ABBA that I dont admit in public.

    Oh and they split on Boxing day...... Who does That!
