merry xmas (GOG/Steam direct download weekly specials)

apparently GOG shutting down was a prank?!??????!

http://www.gog.com/

maybe they're merging with steam or something... looks like they're trying a new direction

bit of a lame stunt, though the public overreaction is also too much. the internet will forgive them if they manage to get Planescape: Torment up, though

been wanting to play it forever.

my god... those crazy sons of bitches really did it

starting a railworks clan everyone, please add =[420]=LoCo-Motive to your gamertags

this is that game with the insane amount of pricey DLC isn't it

wouldn't have imagined this as being your cuppa

http://www.gamersgate.com/all?q=halloweenweek
Amnesia $10
Ghostbusters $8

steam: red faction guerrilla $5; more thq games all week

Numen ($2) and DogFighter ($1.50) are super cheap right now on steam - anyone know if these are a waste of time?

Titan Quest Gold for $5 on Steam today. Just started playing it last week, fairly decent Diablo-type. Seems to be crazy huge, lots of character building and skill options compared to Torchlight, but also feels a little more generic, though I like the Greek theme.

Any opinions of Puzzle Dimension? $5 on steam

also

Burn Zombie Burn! $5
Plants vs. Zombies (No Thriller Edition) $5
BioShock $5

Tempted to get in on Nation Red and Zombie Driver, but they'll probably both be on sale again at some point. I think I'll finally bite on PvZ.

Trine on sale again for $5, also ported to Mac!

would my 2006 MB 2GHz C2D 2GB RAM run crysis torchlight?

Cozen: Unfortunately the GMA 950 video you have is just below the cut-off for Mac Torchlight requirements, though it does support it in Windows. Also, there are supposedly issues with the card drivers if you're not using 10.6 on it.

Age of Empires III $0.10
http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/ageofempiresiii/

Beyond Good and Evil for $5, is that worth grabbing?

http://www.gog.com/en/promo/ubisoft_games

AoE 3 for 10 cents is ridiculous, that's the amazing side of DLC no doubt

you can also get it for 10MS points on GFWL

if the point was to get me to download the games for windows client, it worked.

oh, i see, there's also an updated terms of use that probably reflects evil shit alterations to how they can fuck you over with MS points and XBox Lilve and waives kinect spying so that microsoft can watch you jerk off in front of the tv. Fair trade!

JimD it's actually $6.99 to buy just one game.

o yeh.

I'm not even an RTS fan but for 10 cents, why not

well cuz it's not installing would be my answer
microsoft customer service not being real helpful

The last thing I needed was another game, but I am not passing up AoE3 for 10 cents. Absurd.

If the point of putting a game on sale is to sell your service, GoD is doing a very, very bad job of that today! No product keys for almost everyone who tried to download AoE3 today.

Games for Windows, rather. No idea what GoD is. lol

There is no GoD.

while trying to set up age of empires i followed through a series of microsoft suggestions to make the dl/install work
then i restarted my computer
computer is now totally bricked BSOD and cannot even start in safe mode
writing from gf computer
totally pissed right now
fuck these guys i am totally trading them off madden when i get home

wow. good thing i put off installing it!

(sorry to hear that forks)

yeah i'm fuming
was planning on a new computer shortly, backed up bookmarks and all media's on an external but even so this is a kick in the nuts

Wow that sucks. Sorry forks that you gotta deal with that late on a Sunday. Hope you can fix it.

think i'm gonna have to just buy a new pc; can't even get this open in safe mode.
prolly gonna have to see if I can pay work IT guy to salvage C/D drives and hit up dell to have something delivered in the first week of December. Not a good time for it but i suppose it never is.

That fucking blows. So sorry.

forks can't you boot it up from a Windows disk?

Computer shipped without a physical disk. Trying to see if i can get my IT guy at work to help me get it booted after the holidays but i just started there and he's not on site, so...

the steam thing they're doing right now is every day they pick 30 people and give them the top 5 games on their wishlist for free

so start loading up your wishlists

done
