Singularity takes many aspects from a pond of ideas already done and builds its own thing by using them.

It's a great game.

Do you like Tarantino films?

System Shock 2 is better than Bioshock, I agree.

How is Beyond good and Evil on PC?

Not a stellar port, IIRC there's no gamepad support and if you want to invert the Y-axis on the mouse you can't do it without inverting X as well. Madness.

I also had some graphical issues that can only be fixed by disabling the "HW Vertex Processing" option, which would result in really poor performance. See this thread: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=682893 . Might not be an issue on a semi-modern machine. Also think cutscene audio could go out of sync on 2+ core machines, maybe manually assigning the process to a core in the task manager is enough to fix that.

I loved the game on the Xbox, but I regret paying ~€2 for the PC version.

Capcom didn't even have daily sales last holiday sale. Only slight discounts which everyone either owned, or were a complete ripoff. I think it might change this sale, but I wouldn't hold my breath for top tier capcom sales.

Best Capcom sale ever was when Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition was accidentally 43% for an hour the day it came out.

Other than the gamepad issue, which I didn't come across as I didn't use one, I can't say these affected me at all. I guess it's a case of do your homework/read steam forums to see if you're likely to get hit.

The game being letterboxed 4:3 with black bars on the top and bottom to make it "widescreen" drove me nuts. Because on a true widescreen monitor you get bars on the left and right too from displaying a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Well by default is stretches the game horizontally at widescreen resolutions but I added 1440x1080 (4:3) so I could play it without stretching.

That just really sucks since the original intent was a widescreen experience to begin with.

Midweek madness only ends early in the day if a big sale is starting then.

True, and you better get it then, too, or you'll get hit with the understocked game keys error when you try to install.

Wasn't gonna post this but i'll do just in case: seems like I wont be around tomorrow by the time the sales go up, so I already posted the thread somewhere else and Stumpokapow used his mod powers to hide it. He'll be moving and unlocking the thread accordingly tomorrow by the time the sales go up
all this assuming they go up tomorrow of course
.

reason im posting it is because the dailies will be taken care of but I wont be able to make a section for whatever the hunt/tickets/whatever the hell they put out this time till I get home a couple hours after the sales start so yeah.

Weird that Ubisoft didn't release the updated HD Live and PSN versions on Steam. They forgot about Outland as well.

That Stardock pack looks amazing. All three of those games are on my wish list. The only concern I have is whether I'll play both GalCiv II and Sins.

Oh, and I only have $10 in my wallet.

BRING ON THE SALE ANYWAY!
