I knew I should have started this before I went to bed. Ugh.
Too lazy to break out the calculator this early in the morning to figure out if that's accurate.
Wouldn't it be faster to just redownload the games you'd like?

Redownloading them is faster than clicking "Play"?
I just got a new, bigger hard drive because my current one is full with only about half of my library stored on it. The copying over massive amounts of data thing is something I only have to do once in a blue moon. And I suspect Jase is correct, as far as the actual copy time being closer to 3 hours, not 22 hours. One typical AAA game would probably take me a few hours to download on a cable connection anyhow.

FINALLY the jittery scrolling is fixed! Hallelujah!
I want your internet/bandwidth.
edit: To clarify, I know what you meant
, and I generally only have a few games installed and don't see the point in having that many games installed. But ah well.I think GamersGate has ditched its completely unnecessary 10-minute gifting/CD key waiting period. I just bought The Haunted: Hell's Reach (it seems to be as terrible as it appears) and could view my key immediately after the order completed.

It's random, I think. Sometimes I buy stuff there and I get, and then other times I don't. Maybe it has something to do with whether you use a CC vs Paypal, I dunno. It's weird.

Space Chem is the DD @ 75% off($2.49)
Pretty nerdy puzzle game. Played it about 30 minutes or so...pretty steep learning curve IMO

Strange. I always use PayPal to pay for my GamersGate orders, but this is the first time since GG began the practice that I've not had to wait.
You can get it for even less right now and along with other games, as it's part of the ongoing indie humble bundle.
(Also, it's awesome. As an engineer myself, I fully endorse this game).

I bought Space Chem in the summer sale and I've put a few hours into it already. It's an interesting puzzle game. It's already getting hard for me, yet I enjoy the challenge of it. I'll definitely be playing a lot more of it once summer leaves and I hibernate for the winter. Certainly worth the $2.50 if you like puzzle games.

Same for me. We are surely in a transitional state. Expect it to disappear.
I'm not sure if it still works, but it was free on OnLive over the weekend.
But yeah. A dollar from Humble Bundle, plus more games included. No need for anyone to buy this game on sale today.
I have both a 2tb hard drive and a 256gb SSD dedicated to steam. I have a ton of games installed on the 2tb, and I transfer over my most played games over to my SSD.
The only time I really uninstall a game, is if I absolutely hate it and know I will never play it again. Otherwise, I just keep them.

Same here, playing it right now. Don't expect it to last though.

I have restarted Steam and the game has disappeared from my library.
Midweek Madness is: Mount & Blade series (-75%; $2.49->$4.99 individually or $8.74 for the pack) and the bitCompose/Viva Media Bundle (-75%; $9.99).
I hate it when the individual items of a discounted bundle aren't themselves discounted.

SpaceChem and English Country Tune are probably the two most recent puzzle games I have played. Both are mindbendingly interesting, and can be quite satisfying when you figure something out.
I probably have a long way to go in SpaceChem, but the weird thing there is I actually like reading the story. It interests me and I'm curious to see where they go with it.

Looking through the games of that bundle, I'm wondering how this is an official screenshot of Shadow Harvest?

War of the Roses is a lot different than M&B. It's basically Medieval Battlefield, large multiplayer maps, you try to capture control points and fight off the other team. It might be kinda fun if it built up a good sized user base, but I can't help but think of Fatshark's other game Lead and Gold which was pretty much DOA. I think they're hoping to cash in on fans of cRPG (the M&B mod), but I'm smelling bomba.

Well, I got that game on the last Xmas Steam hunt thing and did some research. It's arguably the worst game on Steam. Traded it right away for some coal.

Are Friends and Community down? I keep getting Error Code: -118 when trying to use either.

Fuck, I only want Cargo and Stalker out of that bundle
Again, Mount and Blade Warband Fire and Sword and Napoleonic Wars back on sale.
I only have Warband, and it's the only one that's worth anything, but considering I got it for free, I kinda feel obligated to buy the DLCs (screw original mount and blade).
I just never buy them. But I really should.

Fun game.
lol it's $60 though with no price cut like they did with borderlands, as I expected. I think they have a 20% coupon on the site now but I don't know...$48 still seems too high compared to what they were offering for a lot of other recent games. I'm spoiled now.

Speculative guess - any change Borderlands 2 gets cheaper than $40 @ GMG ($50 - 20%) before launch?
I think you'd have to hope they offer a 25% coupon which could happen but it's up to you if you want to take that gamble. I preordered it around the time they put it up for $37.50 and that's the lowest I've seen it go so far.
If you can find a UK GAFer willing to host a four-pack, a copy will set you back approximately $35.

Worst midweeks ever?
Eh, not even close. Cargo( a unique game of questionable quality, which still was fun in some way), Grand Ages (a good and visually appealing strategy sim) & a Stalker game for basically 3,33 each sounds great to me.
No clue about the other games, but the bundle seems worth the price if you dont own these 3 games at least.

Warband alone makes that very far from the case.

Looks like I'll pick up Dishonoured at retail based on the GMG price.
