Any alternative to Steam Roulette?

[aytimothy]

Either the site hasn't been update to the newest Steam APIs, or it's being overloaded...
Are there any working alternative to using Steam Roulette?

I mean, it shows my name and profile picture fine, but it can't load my games.
So, what's the point of picking a random game out of no games; pick a number between 0 and 0. "0!"

I have been having the same issue for months and it is really irritating. Just tried to see if it would work now, and it still doesn't :P

i just discovered steam roulette was down, and decided to throw together a super simple bookmarklet alternative.

just bookmark this link (drag it to your bookmarks bar, right-click and add bookmark, whatever):

(edit: embedding the link doesnt work so well so new instructions follow:)
create a bookmark with the name 'steam roulette' or whatever, and put this in the url field:

javascript:(function(e,t,o){o("#roulette_styles").length||o("head").append('<style id="roulette_styles">.gameListRow.roulette_row{background: orangered;}</style>');var r=Math.floor(Math.random()*rgGames.length),a=rgGames[r],l=o("#game_"+a.appid);o(".gameListRow").removeClass("roulette_row"),l.addClass("roulette_row"),o(document).scrollTop(l.offset().top-2*l.height())})(window,document,$J);

then head over to your games list (or anyone elses) on the steam community site (eg: http://steamcommunity.com/id/radio_babylon/games/?tab=all ) and click the bookmarklet. itll select and highlight a random game from your list.

its quick and dirty but gets the job done.
