I just noticed that I missed Prototype Sale of Amazon. I know Tony is banned but why did nobody else warned me.
It had its own thread and was mentioned numerous times in this one.
Tony originally said it would be like $12.50, and then said something about it being $9.99 or less, so you are still going to get a great deal, just not crazy great. Remember to check for the new individual Wario64 Black Friday Amazon/Gamespot threads each week and know that the show and deals start at 2 PM PST/5 PM EST.
Well, I should probably play Trine 2 before I buy the DLC for it. So, coupons for everyone! Or whoever claims them first:
Trine 2 DLC coupon: XITHY-ME4GN-MHR5P
Grimrock coupon: EVFV7-TV5DV-QI6E4
Alan Wake: American Nightmare coupon: G8H6J-Q0L84-2TA44

Preordered Hitman Absolution on GMG for $33 and then put down a $5 pre-order at GameStop for the Hitman Sniper Challenge, that I'll go back in a few days and move to something else.
It was the perfect crime.

Okay, that's a pretty awesome thing. Steam should do that for a Steam wide sale.

I think I'll play through the story once and then after that it will simply be the arcade mode. The talk-y bits in Sine Mora are kind of overly long.

Sine Mora is in steam now?
I played it for the last 2 hours. It's certainly something different. Can't tell if it's a great game or completely terrible, think I'll go with the former. So strange, weird, crazy, I don't know how to describe it. The way the characters talk, controls, UI, everything's unique. But it becomes kinda tiresome after a while, I'll leave the rest for tomorrow.

Hmm I've been trying to find out more info on this 35% off gmg code, and from what I've read it's going to be fairly restricted ... Damn.
I took the Legend of Grimrock key.

Beat Operation Anchorage for the first time. It's pretty much a super linear combat funnel but the rewards you get for completing it are pretty awesome. The power armor you get at the end of Operation Anchorage is slightly better than maxed out Brotherhood of Steel or Enclave power armor. I haven't even tried the Chinese Stealth Armor yet but it looked pretty awesome on the enemies you fight. Also got a Guass Rifle and a healthy resupply of energy ammo.
Started up Point Lookout next.

Yeahhhhh... this is a good deal.
Shit, $32.50 for XCOM is really tempting.
so it's limited to selected games :/ -sad-

Plus there's no hats.
I got Hitman pre-ordered anyway and they come out almost same day
gotta stop buying into the hype and realizing there's nothing wrong with playing a game a bit late. Specially if the discussion im gonna miss is such a crappy one
ive been spending waaaaay too much money on getting games day 1 lately when the fact is im not even that excited for them. Only recent instance where I could justify that was Dishonored and XCOM, but Ass Creed? eh I can wait

That bad huh?
I loved all the previous AssCreeds but I might not buy it day 1 after all.
I'd like to know this too. It doesn't seem to play all that nice with my ATI card either...
dont get me wrong I still want to play the game and much of the complaints come from the framerate and stuff that should be fixed in the PC version. It's just that I suddenly found myself in a situation where I got this sudden need to buy this when it comes out that should be nonexistent when based on how excited I am for it and (most of all) the current financial situation im in.
Basically im turning into JaseC

That's great news. I was going to buy and play it next week so hopefully it appears by then, otherwise I'll be rebuying it once it's on Steam.

Gamefly has Mass Effect 2 for $4.99... very tempting but I'm not sure if it's Steam redeemable.
EDIT: it appears that it redeems on Origin.

it aint
Oh ok. I have stayed away from that thread after the game came out to avoid being spoiled. I am still waiting to see of the GMG version will have steam keys. No way I am giving money to Gaben with those outrageous prices.
I also have hitman preordered.
Do you have to be using a particular web browser to win anything on this? I just tried it in Chrome and got nothing after like 9 attempts or whatever.

What am I missing out on if I go with regular Civ5 vs the GOTY? I know there's a few scenarios and what not but is the $20 worth it compared to the $7 for regular Civ5?
Thanks, picked up Rochard discount!

The Steam key for Sugar Cube is on the Humble Store. There is a sale on the Store: the game costs 5$.
It's true:
Steam said:
I can't speak to the quality or substance of the content, but if you'd like to save a few bucks, just pick up the regular edition and buy the DLC when it goes on sale.

Does anyone here use Steam Limiter or similar programs? I've been using it for a while and it works well for the most part, but the last couple of nights it has downloaded around 24GB of data from other servers. Why? Shouldn't it refuse the connection?
I queued up a bunch of downloads before I went to bed at about one, it seemed to be working ok then (well it let some through) but then it all went to hell.
I still have probably 100 odd games to redownload since upgrading to Windows 8, so whilst 24GB isn't a big deal, if it continues to mess up I will hit my cap... I really don't want that.

I probably should do this, but I just like to have everything available to me if I feel the urge to play. The internet here isn't exactly blistering fast, so if I wanted to play something like Max Payne 3, I'd be waiting a couple of days... lol.
