Fine dammit I'll give in!
I'll trade in my shitty DS Zelda games to free up some cash I guess

So Max Payne 1 and 2 were amazing, and so far even though Remedy wasn't involved in Max Payne 3, I'm quite enjoying it.
OH man we should get done UT2k4 games going. I'm probably awful at it by now, haven't played in so long.

Gold&Platinum Gifts are out now, too...
Calendar, Super Smash Bros., Warioware Showcase (wat?), Zelda: Link's Awakening, Super Mario Land (lol) and Sakura Samurai for Gold... eh. Platinum gets three extra posters and a Zelda soundtrack.

Max Payne 3 was pretty good. Had a lot of fun with it. And it was seriously a bitch to play at some parts, but that just adds to the experience.

The long cutscenes bored me
Bunch of bullshit. Will probably get Mario Land because I played it when I was a kid and want to see how terrible it is now. Sucks they couldn't have even given us the second game though.
The N64 game on the Wii VC most likely.
I've done pretty well with the Steam sale so far, only Hotline Miami, The Walking Dead, and Portal 2. Almost jumped on others like Just Cause 2 but I know I'll never get around to playing it.
Portal 2 is one of my favourite games
Sooooooo good
I've managed to avoid spoilers for it this entire time, finally have a computer that can run it, can't wait to play it.
Does the PC version of MP3 have quick saves? Rockstar tend to be terrible at checkpoints.
I'm down. I've been playing UT2004 off and on since 2005. Stuck to playing Onslaught and VCTF now, nobody plays anything else.
How about some 1 on 1 DM-Rankin Acid?

I have the Xbox version, got it when it was 10 bucks on the MS sale (which it is the same price as it is on steam on sale). Though I have Max Payne 1 and 2 for PC.
I got MP1 and 2 in last year's Steam sale and thought they were great, although MP1 was bloody hard. But the only Rockstar games I like are Midnight Club 2 and LA, so I've never played MP3.
Dishonored is like 17 cents over my limit of $10 so I've managed so far to pass on it. But the dailies last 48 hours so I'll probably cave in a moment of weakness.
Otherwise yeah, my range has been $2.50 - $7.50. There's a chance I might never play any of these so I've artificially set $10 as the most I'd throw at a game that I may never touch.
Which Wargame RTS do you mean?
Edit - I see now. Never heard of it

I'll reduce it to $1000 to stop posting in the NHL threads forever. That's probably only like $50 each.

I should probably finish Fez at some point.

SMTIII was my 2nd favourite rpg other than DQ8 On the ps2. Just think of the SMT games as demonic pokemon games and you should have an idea what to expect. They can be brutally unforgiving (like watching the Jets try to keep up with the Pens for the most part of the past 2 seasons.) but they are so well made and just full of huge and interesting plots and concepts... Much moreso than the spinoff games like Persona and Devil Summoner. I'm heading to pick my copy up this morning and look forward to another 75-100 adventure.
From my experience, having played neither series at all, SMT seems more raw and risky while Persona has better presentation and fluff.
I'll grab SMTIV once it drops in price since it comes with that $30 credit.
You should.
You;ve played previous games, so you should know what to expect?
This is my first SMT game... But I've been playing for the past few hours. It's pretty damn good.

If this money goes to a reputable charity, I'm in. I am not even kidding.
** I am not trying to imply that Canuck Place is a shitty charity, they most definitely are not.

Goddammit, I bought waaaaayy too many games during the Steam sale for someone who doesn't play games anymore
Just bought UT2K4 though and really excited to see some of you did the same. One of my favorite fps of all time
Also bought Psychonauts and Borderlands 2, among others..

Oh yeah! We all gotta play some DM-Rankin some time.
Leiweke you're so fine you're so fine you blow my mind
Leiweke! *clap clap*

I'm interested in SMT IV, but I will have to wait till my wife gets tired of Animal Crossing and the 3DS XL becomes available again. I can't justify buying a second 3DS to play it when I still have Gravity Rush and VLR to play on my Vita. Gravity Rush is kind of a slog, though.
These are the SMT games I've completed. I never got around to playing Nocturne.
Persona 3
Persona 3 FES
Persona 4
Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon
Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2
Devil Survivor 1 and 2
Persona 4 Golden

You're not getting him without a 1st round pick going the other way

Apparently Markström signed a one way contract, two years long and worth 2.4 million dollars total. Seems really cheap but what do I know.
And Elias Lindholm have signed with Carolina, seems like he is leaving this year

Yup 1st year is 2-way and second is 1-way (900k max 2-way and 1.4 2nd year). It's "cheap" because it his second pro contract. He will still be RFA once that is over and should earn the big bucks with that one. The 2-way part is to keep the options open and to keep Markstrom motivated, Santos said he has earn that spot still. Though given the current competition it won't be an issue.Apparently Markström signed a one way contract, two years long and worth 2.4 million dollars total. Seems really cheap but what do I know.

I am so down. Is the community still kicking or is it pretty dead in terms of activity/variety of servers

Took a good deal of restraint to not buy season tickets yesterday. Not yet ready to invest that heavily in this team again. Maybe next season.

$0 spent on Steam so far, though Trine 2 and Deus Ex tempted me (if they come back as Dailies I'll have a hard time resisting).
Might jump on a 4-pack of Castle Crashers. Does anyone know if it has good replay value?

Alan Wake collection on Steam sale for 4 bucks, get it people! (for those who don't have it).
I know the feeling. Im still content with my 10 game package.
Mildly interesting mid-summer puff piece from The Score - Ranking the desirability of all 30 NHL destinations to unrestricted free agents
SPOILER: he ranks Winnipeg 28th, which is actually pretty kind of him frankly lol. Also, SPOILER the list is too long for me to bother pasting just the results. Boston #1 (insane), Toronto #7, Calgary #30 (BC writer bias omg).
Pretty typical listing for most people, but I think, like a lot of fans/media types, he drastically underestimates how much most NHLers dislike the fishbowl aspect of playing in the biggest media markets (read: Canadian cities). Also I think you could get a more accurate "FA desirability listing" by hitting wikipedia and sorting a table based on total income taxes by location. But what would the fun be in that.
EDIT oh and I bought the hell out of The Secret World and it's downloading at home now. Does anyone play that still? I wanted a new MMO but didn't want a huge commitment, this seems like a decent option. The setting and lore really appeals to me at least.

I'm not Rev, but I will tell you that Dishonored is an excellent purchase at that price.
I just bought Rising Storm, and with that, my Steam sale purchasing spree is over.
I hope.

Wow, that was pretty awkwardly written. As calder says, there are lots of other reasons to consider franchises. Not just avoiding the limelight, but things like, oh, salary cap space (can they pay you long term) coaching situation, your playing time, etc.
Don't worry, he had Edmonton at #18, so clearly he's a heroin addict mid-bender or suffering from a massive recent concussion.

TSW is a good way to spend a month. I really liked the progression system and some of the questlines were very well done. There's a good balance of combat and puzzle solving in quests.
Just don't expect much from it as an MMO. I enjoyed my month of relatively single player content, didn't hit max and didn't care. The difference in quality between zones is pretty stark sometimes though. You'll hit some repetitive "kill X of Y" lulls that are effectively bridging the interesting content.

Forget Animal Crossing. It's all about SMT now.
Cool, good to know going in. Sounds like for $15 it should be just fine for me, a month of good content as a largely SP game with MMO trappings works for me. I played WoW for over a month before I spoke to anyone or even acknowledged that I wasn't alone.
