Had an automated call to notify me my Comcast service was restored about 30 minutes ago. On the plus side, now I'm awake for the exciting daily sales rollover. Woo!

Huh? It has issues with W7 64 bit? Bummer, I just bought it for my M11x. =(

Yeah ive been reading its not officially compatible with W7 64 bit unfortunately. But i am sure there are fellow gaffers who have found solutions. It is just I don't want to go through the pain to optimize and fix all kinds of settings for just one game.

I held out all day yesterday, told myself I don't need to buy any games. I think saving my credit card info was a mistake, its so easy to press the button to buy a game.

Aliens vs Predator 5 bucks

No, it's fine on Windows 7x64, you don't have to do anything but launch and play. Most games older than a year old aren't "officially" compatible with Windows 7...

so how's trials 2 ? convince me before the sale ends

Trials 2 is a well made physics based platformer that doesn't hold your hand. It doesn't just encourage mastery, it demands it. There is a more polished and accessible sequel on the 360 but it's still well worth playing.

I also highly recommend Clones, which is on sale for $2.50. It's a mind bending puzzle game in the vein of Lemmings with a lot of robust multiplayer features.

I've had to do some very minor fiddling to get some older games to work on Windows 7 x64, but even the older ones (like 5+ years) almost always work fine when you get the compatibility mode settings for that particular title down. I think I've had one game not work and it was ten years old.

Darksiders...come on, come on!

Well, I decided to pull the trigger on Bully: Scholarship Edition. Hopefully the framerate isn't too atrocious. My rationale is that even if this is a terrible port, it's probably still the best version of the game. :/

grabbed Bully ( <3 Rockstar ) and AVP (mediocre game apparently but the Predator campaign should be decent and it has pretty good DX11 graphics) for €7.50 total

hoping for a Episodes From Liberty City sale, although the current €20 price isn't that bad I guess

Was just gifted Just Cause 2 and the download speed on the game itself is saying it's in the network of 720kb/s (Which is faster than my connection) and at the top it's saying the download rate is closer to 600kb/s (which it should be). Valve breaking space/time?

So yesterday Steam had a discount deal where you saved money on Assassins Creed 2 if you already owned AC1. What were the discount deals for the first 2 days?

If you read the patch history, they released a patch 6 months after release that fixed Windows 7 64-bit (with more than 2GB memory) randomly crashing. If they bothered to release a patch then, I'm sure they cleared the issues.

Yeahhh... Don't think that's going to happen :p At least not at 75%. These games are too recent and Fallout is already selling well.

My roomie bought New Vegas on 360 so I feel bad paying full price for PC version considering I can play it for free, but I want mods. :D

It's really awesome to see so many people still interested in Bloodlines. If I had any say about it, I'd put it on sale for you guys.

I don't
