Handy dandy guide in the OP to see what keys work on Steam:

# Mount & Blade CD Keys in this format: 1AB2C-D3FGH-456I7-JK8LM-NOP9Q
# Mount & Blade: Warband CD Keys in this format: 1AB2C-D3FGH-456I7-JK8LM-NOP9Q
Should be good to go.

I know.
It's kind of the same way with XBLA. When I got my Xbox in June (or was it July?) Microsoft was having a sale on past Summer of Arcade titles. Ever since then, I've been willing to wait on sales for most 1200 point titles.
I'm loving Steam and all of its sales. I can already tell my backlog is going to be large, but at these prices, it's perfectly acceptable. I'd feel foolish not taking a chance on games at such low prices.

M&B: Warband & Fire and Storm bought!
I never really feel bad about buying a game then finding it on sale soon afterwards, you can never predict that shit, but I have made a few regrettable impulse purchases. The worst is when I don't do any research and end up buying a lemon of a port like Split/Second, which is a RACING GAME that game out in 2010 on PC but has a locked frame rate @ 30. On top of that, it didn't seem to have native gamepad support either. After trying to play it for like 10 minutes I deleted it from my HDD and never bothered with it again.
In a case like that, I do feel like an idiot but I guess it's a part of life with DD and easy impulse purchases.

50%, Same price as THQ Pack.Pandoracell said:
About losing out on a few dollars, it's going to happen quite a bit. Best idea is to create a bar where you are comfortable at. Where even if it drops, you still feel like you made out... even if it wasn't as cheap. I'll also note, take a look at % too.

Listen, obviously, you're new to all things CS. Just go with CS:S, enter 1.6 once Source is too noobish for you (if that is even a word). But you don't want to touch 1.6 too early, you'll just get frustrated, which doesn't do the game justice.Syphon Filter said:
You either grew up pre-Source, or you acquired the necessary skill with Source then you step up to 1.6.
To be honest, you'll likely stick with Source anyway because it's really good, and the attraction of 1.6 will wear off once you're invested into some clan or whatever. 1.6 really is kind of a beast by now.

Has anyone tried out Yars' Revenge? I may get on the 360 and check out the trial.

That's actually a really well optimized port. You can unlock it easy enough and it does have native support for the 360 pad with button prompts.

How do you unlock the framerate in Split/Second? The config files are all encrypted.LocoMrPollock said:
S/S on the PC is still the definitive version of the game, even with the warts. It even has local split screen.

It's been a while but you had to use a crack IIRC.
Yeah, here it is. It makes the cars a little more squirrely BTW.

Yeah, you just have to think of it along the right line. If you bought it at a certain price, it's because it represented a value to you that you were willing to accept. If game X is worth $10 to you and you buy it at $10 that doesn't mean it's worth less if it shows up for $5 a bit later.shintoki said:

Someone mentioned Race 07 earlier. It has a decent metacritic score but does it still hold up? Or has something else on steam kinda taken over as a better all around (rally/f1/etc.) racing sim? Do i need to get the expansions as well?

The new EADM completely rips-off Steam. EA is now trying to add community features to their store client.

I really like EADM. Their prices are typically WAY better then Steam's on EA games (since EA doesn't Steam sell the games for cheap.) I also really like how you can enter in your retail game codes and get unlimited downloads and get rid of cd checks. All ripped off of Steam, bu they're doing it well.
Indeed, and competition is never a bad thing.coopolon said:
It's good to see that EA, of all people, are actually tying to make a system that at least tries to do what Steam does. Microsoft take note!
£4 eh? *ponders*SalsaShark said:
If you're in the UK or EU, You can get Race On retail, which includes Race 07 and STCC for £5. http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/pc/race-on/10066769.htmlzombieshavebrains said:
Edit: And yes, Race 07 is fantastic. Sure it doesn't look the best, but hook a decent wheel to the game and you'll be in touring car heaven.

I'm in the same boat with regrettable purchases. I'm one of those weirdos who installs pretty much every game I've bought and yesterday I went ahead and did some spring cleaning of my STEAM library and uninstalled a bunch of them. Between games I only played a handful of hours, old games I have zero desire to play, or console parts I bought on PC thinking they'd deserve another playthrough there was a bunch of purchases I wish I never made. Felt very liberating to cut my backlog in half and delete a bunch of stuff and accept the fact I'll never play / replay certain games.
On the flip side there are a ton of games I bought during an extreme sale or due to GAF hype that I loved and enjoyed the hell out of, so it all balances out.

He probably meant the sale only knocked off $.50 off the base price. It's a small discount compared to the other games in the pack.

Yeah of all the competing services to steam, EADM has the cleanest interface and it works well. Any EA games I get from D2D go straight on EADM instead of the horrible comrade thing D2D have. Gamersgate as well since it lacks a convenient client.coopolon said:
