Am I missing it, or is there no Call of Duty on that list? Maybe it is just a partial listing or a troll. Capcom and EA missing are believable. No Call of Duty's? This I don't believe. Activision likes to milk old titles with the best of them.

EDIT: Actually, I love awwyeahgurrl's idea. Tickets redeemable for games. Sounds too good to believe, though.

just to clear things up here is a list of games from the daily wishlist competition that people have won.

You can see someone has won SSFIV which is not part of the gift list posted in the previous page.

So the gift list must be real or valve is trolling us again.

I'm kind of hoping that long list is the whole deal set because I only want
Morrowind GOTY
from that. I have or don't care about the rest of that list. I kind of need the break too since I'm virtually broke right now.

EDF is a train wreck?

Can you at least force some kind of AA or have you tried and not succeeded?
Click to expand...

It has an in game AA option but it doesn't work very well. Seems to be MLAA or FXAA or possibly just edge detect AA.

I haven't tried forcing anything better yet.

I missed that they added Demigod for only $10 yesterday. My backlog is crying as it is, so I'll pass for now. With a base price of $10 and Gabe's habit of sales, I'm sure it will be mine soon.

I've enabled the ingame AA without any trouble. Definitely takes the aliasing off the foundations and imaginary basements of the buildings.

Maybe since it's EARTH defense force, you're defending the earth by sinking inside of it...or something. It goes right along with your normal playstyle of Defending Dungeons.

Did you verify the integrity of the game cache? Might try that and see if there's a problem there.

I'm going to be the first to win BioShock Infinite. I can feel it.

On that note, I'd like for Valve to fix the BioInf wishlist entry, as it listing as "Unreleased Game" fills me with a paranoid feeling that the item is invalid.

It's getting a little troublesome, all of these huge updates. I'm going to be through my month's bandwidth quota before the sale even starts :(

Nuclear Dawn is already 40% off. Weekend Deal + Free Weekend.

I'm in for a 4pack! Needed someone in America to host though.

Nah, still won't get Limbo. Not really my type.
Click to expand...

Limbo is my type of game and I didn't even like it. When it was finally released on PS3 I shit myself, but when I actually played it I wasn't very impressed.

To me it felt like... they did a good job with the atmosphere, but it kind of played like a well made LittleBigPlanet level. The problem is that even good LBP levels are still shitty.

my problem with it lies in the industrial bullshit that followed the amazing outdoors areas that the game began with. Those areas, with their shitty puzzles, along with the trial and error nature of the game....grrrrrr.

it was the longest 3 hours ive experienced.

I quit around there, yeah. The first 5 minutes or so were good, but got less and less interesting as it went.

It wasn't fun and there was no intrigue. I don't think horror driven games require great or fun gameplay (SH is anything but fun to play) but games like SH are compelling in many other ways. Limbo didn't have anything compelling about it at all.

Hard Reset is 50% off on Impule. I think that's steamworks, right?
Click to expand...

Yup! I'd be willing to bet that it'll be less than 50% off during the Steam sale, though. Plus you'll get that warm fuzzy feeling that comes with not giving money to Gamestop

That one fucking switch. You know the one. That made me quit the game. $2.50 doesn't seem like a bad price, though, but I regret the $10 I spent on the xbox version.

I'm trying hard right now to remember who told me during the Summer Sale to not bother with the X3 Gold Box and only buy Terran Conflict.
Click to expand...

Virtually everyone who knows about X3. I was told the same thing by everyone and I think it's because the other games are like Terran Conflict but lesser because TC was built as an expansion of the others. There was literally no point in playing the others.

I got fairly deep into the industrial before I had enough of that. The game ceased being fun, so I quit and uninstalled. For 2.50 I don't regret my purchase one bit. Got my money's worth. Just disappointed the pacing went to shit there and I felt the need to quit before seeing the end.

I think it'd be funny that you could only get the deal if you bought the game as a gift for someone else. The amount of trading that would happen would be hilarious.

Also steam support has been pretty quick to respond to me. Pretty happy with the results hopefully its resolved by the end of today.

It was because the other stuff is not needed BUT the superbox is 9.99 at gamersgate. It's the best deal currently and activates on Steam as a retail copy apparently. Plus you'd get the expansion free with that.

Really tempted to grab witcher 2 but I just have a funny feeling it'll be cheaper during the winter sale. What's the cheapest a steam version has been?

I played through Limbo like, a week ago, and really enjoyed it. A few moments had me slightly irked, but it's a game I'm definitely glad I experienced, and for 2.50 and the game length, it's a great choice.
