First time I ever played a Civ game was Civ 5. I started about 1pm on a Saturday afternoon. I stopped playing at about 2AM on Sunday morning.

I was originally playing peacfully but I got into a bitter conflict with Napoleon and I ended up in a series of "one more turn to burn the fucker to the ground" routines.

I was peaceful until Japan attacked me. Since I was in the Modern Age while no other civs had entered the Industrial Age yet, it wasn't much of a contest.

Every single time I buy a new Civ I play one single game for double digit hours straight and then never touch the goddamned thing again out of fear for my sanity. They always beat my $1/1hr golden gameplay ratio though, even though I only ever play them once.

Also Master of Orion 2 did this to me in a really bad way. I was literally falling asleep between turns. My wife found me in the morning curled up on the floor with the computer still running. When she woke me up I just had some coffee and kept going.

The AI in Gods & Kings doesn't seem nearly as aggressive for some reason (except for guys like Montezuma and Alexander of course), though I still haven't seen any visible effects of religion on diplomacy.

considering the crazy sales civ 5 has been on, I probably won't have to wait long to get gods and kings I suppose. I'll give it another shot I suppose. It's just really hard to go from beyond the sword to Civ V.

Well, Wings of Prey and E.Y.E. just started updating at the same time. That's kind of an odd thing given the usual frequency these games update. Wow, and the updates are 2gb and 1.3gb respectively.

bad gameplay lol
So, what are the chances VVVVVV goes on sale? I know it's only five bucks, but regardless, I'd feel silly if I bought it now and it went on sale right after. :lol

100 percent. Even if it's not part of the official sale, it'll still be at least 50 percent off (and up to 75 percent).

I had more fun trading coals and following the market for them than actually buying any games that I haven't played during the christmas sale.

Yeah, hope they have another good arg this time.

Happy to see E.Y.E. being updated. Looking past some of the jank, that game entertained me far more than Deus Ex: Human Revolution did. It had such a cool world and lore...

Remember how last year or so it took around an hour for the sale to be actually up and stable, if it happens we probably won't even know until around 12:15, that is unless it's later this month.

That and prices randomly slashed everywhere prior to store update.

We'll know it's not happening when the new daily deal is quickly updated.

C'mon....Skyrim and Saints Row 3. Those two, along with the other games I'm playing now, would hold me over until the holidays, for sure.

Ha!

I was doing my last semester of course work in graduate school when I got Civ V and something very similar happened. After that one day of playing until 2AM, I did not dare load up the game again for nearly a year. I was too afraid it would ruin me.

From the registry there's a good chance Saints Row 3 and all of its DLC will be in a bundle for $15. Skyrim will be in the Bethesda Collection, and likely a daily deal at some point too.

Could you guys please collect your own tears and place them in the buckets placed for convenience at the entrance to your caves. Someone will be around later to collect them. Thanks.

Did E.Y.E. ever get a patch to make it so that you can actually play it multiplayer with friends?

I bought that game and gifted it to several friends last year and we tried for HOURS to get a multiplayer game going. It was infuriating.
