might as well buy both. if your like the rest of us when u start playing peggle you wont stop for quite a while.
I really think Civ 4 complete is a great deal at that price and I really want to buy it, but I know I can't sink that many hours in a single game right now
Was also thinking of getting BC2 but seeing that there's an expansion I'm pretty sure there's gonna be some kind of GOTY edition down the way, will get it by then, I'm in no rush to play it right now
I'm really proud of myself for thinking clearly during my first steam holiday sale, still bought Super Meat Boy and PB Winterbottom since it's impossible to say no to those prices

Buy them separately for $3.99 each and you save $0.01.Kritz said:

And that's after the 16 games I bought today.
I don't even own that many games on Steam. My wishlist consist of about five games and I struggled to hit even that number.
What's on your wishlist, out of curiosity. If it isn't easy to somehow copy and paste, don't worry about it.

I would say that with the price of BC2 you should buy it and just wait for the expansion to go on sale. BC2 is normally $20 so you could buy BC2+Vietnam right now for just $1.79 more than the normal price of BC2. Or you can do what I am doing and buy BC2 now and wait to see if Vietnam gets a lower price during the sale.

if I buy a game on steam (say meatboy on pc), can I play it on another computer (mac)?
Yeah I tried both, still don't work. It says the company declined it, but I quadruple checked everything, including the account balances, which were over 3.75 I assure :lolBlizzard said:
Your wallet lost.Stumpokapow said:
Yes, and in the case of Meat Boy specifically, you will own the Mac version too when it releases.Ken Masters said:

This should be a link to my wishlist:

If you sort by rank order, the first ~20 are actually in order, the rest are just added willy-nilly.

If I end up buying 50 games for $250, I'm pretty sure my wallet wins in the long run.

If it says Steamplay, its available for both Mac and PC so if you buy the game you can play it on both. For games that are not yet Mac compatible you can still play them with boot camp.

Yes. Go to "manage gifts and guest passes" under "Games" in the Steam client and you'll be able to resend the unredeemed one. Just send it to your email address, pull out the code, and redeem it in Steam.sadromeo said:

Gah it's only $3.75 but will I enjoy SMB? I tend to not like hard platformers. Cash is tight even for $3.75. Damn Valve. :lol

gregor7777 said:
It's $3.75. Forgo the side salad tomorrow. It's an excellent game, and although it's very hard, the key is that you get an infinite number of tries and the levels are 30 seconds long, so as soon as you die, just throw yourself into it again. It's significantly less frustrating that most hard platformers for that reason.

no meatboy on mac? bummer
I'll make it easy for you. Two things:twdnewh_k said:
Look at the Valve, Square/Eidos and 2K complete packs. They are like 80 bucks each (Valve's is only 50, wtf?) and contain all games made by those publishers that are on Steam. If you decide you want to buy one of those packs, do it.
If you don't want to drop that much money at once (most don't), then look only at the daily deals on the main page. Decide which of those games you want to buy, and do so.
don't buy anything else until tomorrow.
Oh shit, Rush is 2.50? Hmmm....
Honestly, it looks like I'll really only be keeping my eye on the Indie games tab this sale. I went through the list of releases this year, and nothing stands out. Darksiders would be kind of nice but I'm not really in any hurry to play it. Plus, I'm completely swamped with my purchases from the last few months anyway (Meat Boy, Lara Croft and Civ 5).

But a salad might make me live longer and a frustrating platformer might make my life shorter. Anyone here bad at platformers have a good time with it?

Madness, if I could just gift you my copy of Mafia 1, I would. And I was wrong, my wishlist consists of just 4 games...

If Blizzard distributed games through Steam that number would jump up by two
gregor7777 said:
You might still enjoy it. It's as hard as nails, but there is really no penalty for dying. Levels are short, and you respond instantly. Tons of style, tons of content. And you don't have to finish every level in a world to advance if you find it too hard (though I'm a completionist).
Still, if you have a really low tolerance for frustration, you might want to think twice. But it's an amazing value at this price. Your decision.

Yeah, for all 5 I think it's definitely worth it. There were a few I was mildly disappointed in at full price, but all of it at that price is great.Htown said:

Gah, Stump, Hitman: Blood Money is down to $5. Surely you can justify that eensy bit more for such a great game?Stumpokapow said:

As in desk check? If you've updated to the last patch it should have removed the CD check. If that's not what you're implying then just ignore me.

Shows how much I know.
Too late, I already picked it up. It's easily worth it either way.

Promised myself I wouldn't, dropped 75 on the Square collection after spending all night doing the math. I added up the sale price of everything I wanted from their catalog and still came out around 200 bucks, give or take, so that's still 125 less than the existing sale price combined, plus it's an extra crapload of DLC and some dodgy looking games "for free". It's a huge bargain any way I paint it, it was just a question of whether or not I wanted to unload that much cash at once. It's highly unlikely everything I wanted would go on sale for better than this price via daily deals anyway.
Argh I feel so dirty now. What a day.
Daily deals and nothing more for me from now on, I think. STFU, impulse me. My Steam client appears to have died for good now anyway. :lol

It took me about 30 minutes to get setup. The driver kept failing to install when I had my PS3 controller hooked up (also had some problems with the analog sticks getting calibrated) But once it's setup, it'll remember the settings for the same USB port so it's just plug and play.TrAcEr_x90 said:

I find myself in the same dilemma since I have the vanilla game without the DLC, but I simply refuse to pay more than $10 for all five. What I was more interested in, was seeing if those would get discounted. Since they did, there is a chance that in the future they will be dirt cheap.
Unless you are planning on playing Fallout 3 immediately, I would say save your money this time. Also, I don't want to have two entries for Fallout 3 in the steam library.
