That's awesome. Dark Souls is a perfect game to receive as a gift. It may be the game I'm looking forward to the most but I'm not confident enough in the port job to preorder.

Yeah, finally playing through BD now, I'd recommend everyone on the fence about this game go for this deal, easily worth it.
I don't enter the thread for one day and I miss all that insanity 
lol, the message is made even funnier by your username.
There's no reason whatsoever to own L4D at this point.
I'm pretty sure they already remade all the maps from L4D1, didn't they? In that case, no - no point.
Yep, I'm almost finished with my play through and can say that it's easily the most playable 3rd person shooter I've picked up maybe ever. The enemy design, and stupid story, and characters and dialog are all tuned perfectly to have the most fun possible. It's not the best shooter out there, but I think it may be my favorite.

Kung Fu Strike: The Warrior's Rise came out today.

I love beat'em ups and that doesn't look bad. If anyone buys it leave some impressions. I'm going to check out the demo of the XBLA later today.

Bought X3:Albion Prelude. Have no idea why. I want to like games like that so bad (I'm not even all that sure what kind of game it is!), but its rare for me to. So now I have X3:Terran Conflict (bought this last summer) and that one. I'll start it soon though, I think. TC anyway. GalCivII has me in a space mood. Bought a few space games recently, that I know I won't like haha (GalCivII, Sins Trinity, Sword of the Stars complete, SOTS LoW, and the X game).
Also picked up Dark Souls on GMG for $32, and the Plentiful Paradox pack on Amazon, so that game me Crusaker Kings II, Magicka, Victoria II, and both Sword of the Stars games for $12.50.

Is binary domain steam works? If not If I buy from amazon when it is on sale later this week will they give me a steam code? Sometimes they do that .

Feel free to add me on Steam (theytookourjobz) for some L4D2 as well.
Also I haven't really been following the Dark Souls port news but is it really going to be capped at 30fps? The crawling frame rate is what stopped me on the 360 version.

Probably the way to go if you've got a data cap. Rage is like a trillion gigs.

Wow.
Just when I thought the wallet had stopped bleeding... this is tempting. edit: well dang if it's a retail copy with no online key. I'm outta luck... a blessing in disguise.
Also, L4D2 is one of those games I'll always have installed, so I'm usually up for a game here and there as well.
retail copy means nono for lots of people away from the US
5$ or bust!
Yoshi needs to fix that.

So this is where everyone hangs out when there isn't a Steam Sale going on....
Hell of a fun game if you can get past the texture rendering issues.

What the hell? The two games have nothing in common besides being set in space. X3 is a space flight sim with some Elite trappings (trading, owning structures), and a fairly steep learning curve. Joystick highly recommended.
GalCiv2 is an RTS...
GalCiv is actually a TBS, and I asked because people compared them in the other thread. Sorry for asking :|
Sorry, but I just had a
Play GalCiv II, then play X3 and imagine you're rocketing around in your own Galaxy fucking things up for your former god-like self in an act of self deicide.
This reminds me, are you able to get the player feet visible in L4D2. The first one had those but the second one didn't.
It's ok. I'll read the game's description beforehand next time.Sorry, but I just had areaction when I saw your question which seemed to imply a connection between the two games. Anyways, the two games play and feel very differently. (It's also been a few years since I last dusted off my GalCiv CDs)
:lol
It supports fullscreen.
alt + enter I believe switches between fullscreen and windowed.
I played it all the way through in fullscreen. Would be an extremely odd omission.
Wow, jealous
This. For some reason those games start in windowed and you need to do this.
July Jubilee Indie Royale bundle is up, if that's even remotely applicable here.

Edit: Yes.. why yes it is half applicable.

So X3 and L4D2 are the Midweek sales this week.
I already bought Terran Conflict during the sale for the same price though. Scared me a bit at the start there, not knowing if it was lower or not.
Haven't been able to play any of my shiny new purchases though, including X3, since my computer was having problems and is now in the shop for a couple days.
