Finally finish with Steam; time for today's damages:

Settler VII
Divinity II
Half Life 2, Episode I and II (I'm one of these two people who haven't played the Half Life franchise)
Company of Heroes

Overall: $230 for the entire sale....Ouch!

Also, could anyone become friends with me on Steam? I would adore expanding my network of friends on it especially since I have the time (and games) to play Steam for a long period of time. :D

Any Ion Assault Impressions? Anyone? It LOOKS interesting.

Also, are we 100% sure there will be another 24H period to buy games on sale tomorrow or should I buy my non-daily games now?

The fuck? General steam issue. For the age requirement I think I accidentally left it as 2011 and now Im locked out of M rated games. How long does that last? Dont see anything in the Help.

Age gates are the most pointless and frustrating thing Steam has. It never remembers if you are old enough, only if you're too young. Age gates are easily deceived anyway - what is their point? They achieve nothing but pissing me off.

I can't even tell what I bought in this sale because the "my history" page on my community page has been broken for months. It just shows dots :\

The new 3D [Bionic Commando] actually looks kinda interesting to me though it's apparently mediocre?

It's extremely divisive. Some hate the game, some love the game, most haven't tried it due to the rantings of the haters.

Personally, it's one of my favorite games. But I've been a BC fan since the NES, so take that into consideration.

What is Zeno Clash and what is it rated? Does it have a lot of violence or sex or whatever? It has no ESRB, and the videos don't exactly show off much.

First person brawler. Very violent although I don't remember much blood. Worthwhile for the competent first-person melee system, gets pretty terrible when it deviates.

Actually, it's probably worth it just to see the insane world design. Awesome stuff.

Ion Assault. Have it on the 360. Had fun with it. Gorgeous particle effects. Kind of unique game from what I remember. They put controller support back into the PC version. Why they took it out was a visit to stupid land but it's back in.

$7.01 in my Steam Wallet.

Thinking either:

CivIV Complete

OR

Samorost2 + all of the Defense Grid DLC.

OR

Puzzle Quest 2.

Thoughts?

The videos show off a fair bit of the core gameplay, Zeno Clash is a first person brawler set in a really surreal fantasy world. You could download the demo if neither video was enough.

Steam rejects my CC constantly. I just gave up, all of my Steam purchases are through Paypal.

I had some rejections when their system was overloaded. I tried later and it worked.

Maybe try at times where there is minimal load.

I could really go for some new steam friends myself. I only have a couple from TF2 adventures. My steam iD is Anathema05.

Hit the bank pretty hard for this sale, but then again it was my first steam sale. Not to mention my first time actually owning a good gaming PC, so I played catchup on a lot of quality games. Just about hit $200 even.

And I still might get Mafia and Batman. :/

The Half Life pack is so tempting. $10 bucks for everything?

I can do resist! Team Fortress Classic and Episode 2 only look good to me. Everything I else I own or just don't care for.

God damn, steam.

Glad I chickened out on Red Alert 3. Much more interested in CoH. Looks like Tales of Valor and maybe Zeno Clash today

If for some reason you haven't played through HL1 yet, here's a link to the official HD model pack.

steam://installaddon/halflifehd (copy and paste into a browser)

I can't even find if they link it anywhere through any of the store pages
