@scottalanmiller ahhh ok, not played any of them

You should fix that. Morrowwind, Oblivion and Skyrim are all excellent.

I tried one of the earlier Elder Scrolls games, but the controls really put me off.

Skyrim, however, is excellent!

I'm really surprised there aren't more board games on steam although I've heard good things about http://store.steampowered.com/app/369990/Gremlins_Inc/

I also nabbed Torchlight and Torchlight 2. Seems to be pretty fun so far!

Been a while since I looked into it last but iOS was definitely the go to for software conversions of board games. Don't know that there is a ton of stuff but almost certainly more than on other platforms.

I could see SteamOS really taking off in this way

I have that but have not gotten a chance to play, yet.

Both are excellent games. Good snag.

Yeah, sadly. I have a few on my Nvidia Shield, but not as many as I would like. Steam would be perfect for those, and does have a few.

People trolls or NPC trolls?

People trolls. The survival genre seems to bring out the worst in people.

I should note that my earlier comment is regarding more polished individual products pointed at the masses.

There are some really cool things out there like vassalengine.org which support playing a wide variety of games. Might require some time spent with the system to figure out how things work though.

I saw @scottalanmiller playing Psychonauts over the weekend. That's a great game. I'm not sure which level was my favorite; the milkman, or Goggalor. The theater challenge was probably my least favorite, while the meat circus is damned annoying, too. I've played that game a bunch, and I did the 'get all figments' challenge, too. The Denver Comic-Con is this weekend and one of the ladies that did the voices for Raz's girlfriend is usually there. She's just as adorable as the character.
