Next, you'll have people mad at Valve because they bought a game a day before it went on sale.
Wait.

Wait.
Don't forget some purchasers of the Orange Box feeling burnt by TF2 going F2P 4 years later, as well as Portal being available free for a short period - twice.
It also took forever to creep over $4. As long as you bought it within the first day, you could have received it for the less than the pre-order price. Previous bundles shot past $5 pretty quickly. But that's ok. Unlike some of the humble bundle sales, the Steam codes were game specific. So I just gave away CSTW/BOD7 and Eufloria (which I already owned) to Gaf.

"I am so annoyed that I spent $29.99 four years ago!"
The arguments against TF2 F2P are ridiculous. Also, the turnaround. You'd think that Team Fortress 2 announced that it was gay or something.
Well....I have some news for you.
They don't complain to the big box retailers.
"Screw the dozens of friends I made playing the game for 500 hours. I could have saved $30!"
So, after Dungeon Defenders and Bastion were made into daily deals, I am not really sure what is left for me to buy in the winter sale. Those were my two most wanted.
I will pick up Clash of Heroes HD if it is more than 50% off (already own the DS version), but that is really all that I want. Sure, there will be a few random $1-4 indie titles that I will impulse buy, but I have already snagged most of my most desired 2010 and early 2011 titles. The sale is too early to get a reasonable discount on AAA titles released from August-Nov.

I'm uninstalling TF2.

don't you want to go shooting up santa and get yourself some Christmas weapons? D:
If unwashed peasants can play it for free, what is the point?

I would continue, but I fear that this site has some sort of rule about taking gay jokes to the limit.

Mafia 2 is awesome,just tried the demo. The fighting combat and gunplay destroys gta.

The on foot sections are the best part of the game. The first mission of the Joe DLC is better than any GTA mission in existence
I gave him the URL to your Steam Community page, and he just said he's already talking to you, so my work here is done. *disappears into the ether*
So you didn't enjoy Mafia 2 at all then? 90% of the game is driving from one side of the city to the other as a chauffeur for one of the story characters.
It would have been nice if it had a fast travel option like LA Noire, but then the game would only be like two hours long.

on a slightly related note I sent you a friend invite
Just as well you mentioned that, since I tend not to notice the pop-up message.

On that note, I should probably add more GAF to my friends list.
Add me. I like having people to compare my mediocre gaming skills to.

The car handling in Mafia 2 made the driving pretty enjoyable. Especially early on when the roads were icy.

Is it worth buying Killing Floor + all the DLC/character packs, or should I just buy the game by itself?

That plus the great music.

Joe's Adventure DLC was pretty good.
Yes! I guess a lot of people didn't appreciate it as much as me but I really enjoyed the 40's and 50's soundtracks they put in there.

Added. I think. Steam has been cranky lately.

It definitely had too much driving but I don't think it was THAT much. There was one mission where basically all you did was drive but it was more interactive fiction. The one with the drunk guys singing in your car.

There were times where I'd arrive at my destination but stay in the car to finish listening to a song. I really need to go back and play through Joe's Adventure already.

The best moments of driving in Mafia 2 are when it's winter and night time and some of those classics from the 40's are playing.

I really loved Mafia 2. That game stuck with me. Hope they make another.
So now I know why Nightsky was initially rejected on Steam...

Wasn't Valve being evil or arbitrary, the game just runs at super low resolution and has no scaling options, just surrounds the game area with enormous black borders if you go fullscreen. Also no gamepad support.
Despite that, seems neat.

NightSky is a really neat game, but, yeah, that resolution shit bothered me. Don't so much mind the no gamepad support, but I probably would have used it if it existed.
I hope the HD version is a free update for Steam users. U:

Was there confirmation of that being why Valve rejected it, or is that just a logical guess? (I wonder why they didn't even scale)
looks like the adventure game for next indieroyale is the "blackwell" series, whatever that is.

Hm.
The only page I seem to be able to "see" is the Library. Everything else is just blank.

It's a series of four games. I've played the first two and they're not bad. It'd be nice to get the other two from this bundle.

Yep, it's also got that feel of a classic adventure game like Gemini Rue.

Yes, you are correct (and I assume you meant developer, not publisher, heh).
