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.

Is Recettear worth playing? Note that i usually quite enjoy the JRPG mechanic despite myself.

feel like I'm always asking stupid questions like this, but: will a current gen 13" MBP run most modern PC games under boot camp at an OK pace (medium details eg)?

gonna use this thread here also to gripe about how the console deals look pretty weak this year, unless you're looking for a PSP or DS

Indie pulse pack is up - gettin' it pretty much just for Bit Trip Beat, as I already have Audiosurf, and I'm curious enough about Beat Hazard and The Polynomial to make it a regretless purchase.

Orange Box $7.50 on steam
― my sex drew back into itself tight and dry (abanana), Sunday, 28 November 2010 19:21 (thirteen years ago) link
Picked up the Pulse Pack today- I was hoping for a steeper discount on Bit.Trip Beat alone, but its discounted price is the same as the pack. Who knows, some of the other titles could be decent (though I'm pissed I can't give away the extra copy of Audiosurf).
At amazon I picked up AC:Brotherhood ($40, not the best deal but December is going to be HELL at work and I need a nice pile of completist open-worldy video games to keep myslef sane), Just Cause 2 ($26) and Resonance of Fate ($20).

Dead Rising 2 has gone up to £25 since I posted earlier :(

my haul:
- Deus Ex 1 & 2- Torchlight- L4D2- Indie Story Pack (got it for Recettear & Puzzle Agent, don't like any of the other 3 games)- Indie Pulse pack (got it for beat.trip.beat [I had stupidly picked up Audiosurf at $2.50 when it was on sale earlier in the week], haven't played any of the other 3 games yet but I hear Rhythm Zone hellasux)- Indie Air Pack (got it for Altitude and yep that game owns a bunch right there)
also got Pac-Man CE DX/Dead Nation/Spelunker HD from a PSN share group and picked up Cave Story from DSiWare; it's been quite a week for digital distribution.
― "Anus Landlord": A little rough, but good. (jamescobo), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 20:44 (thirteen years ago) link
tried to grab kotor and dirt but steam wouldn't allow it
grabbed splosion man, TMNT, magic: the gathering, and GTA: SA the other day when on sale on XBL (along with sonic & knuckles and PAC-MAN CE DX)
looking forward to the /actual/ steam xmas sale and eventually picking up an MBP to run the games
― mo loko (cozen), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 21:12 (thirteen years ago) link
I ended up with Defense Grid, the Indie Story Pack, Machinarium, Monkey Island 2: SE and KOTOR.

If you bought Audiosurf and thne the story pack seriously e-mail Steam, they may jsut refund the first purchase. My roommate bought Civ IV (yes IV) a little while back, and realized he should ahve bought the "complete" IV pack, because it was like $5 more or something, e-mailed thme, and they allowed him to switch it around, after he had owned it for like a week.
