Dungeons of Dredmor is worth $30 and you will get it for less than $5.

It is better than Terraria, and Terraria is pretty damn good.

It's not better than Terraria. It's a decent roguelike, but nothing revolutionary.

Music, humor, style in DoD are great and far superior to Terraria. I am having more fun playing DoD than I have had in a long time.

Its gameplay is classic roguelike, and not as innovative as Terraria, but that does not make it bad.

No one says the game is bad. It is simply a roguelike, and brings nothing new to the table of that genre. Great game, I agree, but I wouldn't say it's better or worse than a game far different to it, such as Terraria

Or perhaps you're just sadistic and enjoy slow-cooking your goblins/kittens/nobles.

One thing I am REALLY starting to dislike is that one of my drives is really full but my other has barely been touched (over 100 gigs left)

But I can't tell steam "Hey, how about we install it over on the D drive instead? DANG IT!

no but you could have done what I did and install steam itself on the 2nd drive.

It wasn't so bad until the number of games on my computer started to add up...

Or with the games that use steam to install even if you buy it in the store.

I don't have much of an issue because I uninstall games i haven't played in the last 3 months or so, and my internet connection is fast enough to reinstall them when I want them

Windows Vista/7: Open command prompt ("cmd" without the quotes in the start menu search bar, press enter -- if you still have UAC enabled for some ungodly reason, you might need to right-click it on the list instead and run it as an administrator -- if you're not an administrator on the computer, tough luck)
MKLINK /J "OLD FOLDER" "NEW FOLDER"

I installed Steam at C:\Steam, but that's on my SSD, and I don't want to fill it up with my games:

MKLINK /J C:\Steam\steamapps "D:\Steam Apps\"

Note that the old folder cannot exist, so if you move the entire directory like that, it's all or none.
You can do it on a game by game basis if you want, but it's loads of work.
There's an application out there that does exactly that, but I don't use it, because I don't want any games on the C drive.
Steam doesn't even know the difference, and I have yet to find any games that have problems with it.

If you're still on Windows XP, I no longer support you :P
That command didn't exist, so you'll have to find an external application that performs its function.

More generally, Jay's talking about symbolic links. Coincidentally, the Wiki article suggests a couple of possible applications, though I have no clue whether either of them would be of any use - I'm too lazy to boot up my XP partition just to check it.  :P

Semi-related:

I have three Shattered Horizon guest passes and two Killing Floor guest passes up for grabs.  Send me a PM with the relevant info and as long as you're not an escaped lunatic (Or you're an escaped lunatic who's obviously contributed) it's yours.

KF's source engine and should run on any modern computer, Shattered Horizon's pretty hefty.  Please be able to run it if you take the SH pass (Higher-end computer, windows Vista or 7, and Directx10)

Killing floor isn't source, I think it's Unreal engine 3 or something. But yeah, still pretty easy to run, my PC is awful but runs it fine.

I use MKLINK for just individual games and it works well. Just move a couple of your largest games to other drives with /d and you're good.
