Was it ever patched on PC?

I think they're talking about friday deals on amazon.
This would be so much easier if Tony wasn't banned.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
It received patches, yes.

Played it like a week ago and it played fine
I do know that there is a separate set of ranks for Zombie mode complete with its own set of rank emblems/logos, I'm not sure about anything else though - I've actually only played Zombies solo up to this point. Need more PC BLOPS2 friends

Works for me. Over $165 worth of savings right there!
If it were Black Ops 2 and MW3, maybe

BO2 and MW3 would actually be $175 worth of savings.
Those crazy kids.
might jump on this.
I only want Black Ops though so if anyone wants just MW2 and is willing to split that'd be great
Hmm, I see that I'm going to have to watch out for you, or you'll try to send me to the Aussie Steam store like Jase does.

My only slight concern is the game looks shit.

Oh yeah, forgot about that THQ situation. Amazon's probably clearing out their stock of keys for THQ titles.
I wouldn't. Hated Family Guy after season 2.

Gonna do/try the same with Viking, it's the only game I want. And 25$ for NfS? Must be selling rather badly.

I'm whatever this thread needs me to be.
Ever silent and ever vigilant?
Nah, it was that same price back in July. I wish I had jumped on the $13 Steam franchise sale.
Remember that one time Family Guy was good?
No...did you hit your head?
Ehhh...after the sales months ago with everything for $12-13 this doesn't look too hot to me, but I guess anyone who's afraid it won't be around on Steam in the upcoming sales could pick up the base game. Otherwise, wait for a much better package deal with all DLC.

Looks like a good time to pick up the season pass, might be worth diving back into it.

Yeah, definitely waiting for a sale on the all DLC version before jumping on Saints Row 3.
You mean last season?

It's getting pretty average reviews though. Averaging around 6/10 or so.

I'm waiting for the new Sega Racing game with TF2 characters and Football Manager guy.
I just played the Hell Yeah demo and well, I wasn't expecting the game to be like that. It's... FUCKING AWESOME!
From the Sega scream right at the beginning, I was playing it with a big smile. Loved the Sonic reference midway through. This is how you make a demo. Sadly they cut it right at the boss fight, but it left me wanting more. Now my only doubt is: do I buy it from GMG for $5.6, or get the whole Amazon pack for $20? (I already have Binary Domain, still unplayed.) Decisions, decisions.

BLOPS will be 9.99$ separately also.
Oh it doesn't look good to me. It looked especially generic, actually, plus the $45 price tag. I just thought it was kind of a weird game to suddenly pop up at that price level.
Hopefully they have individual deals, alraedy have MW2 but wouldn't mind picking Black Ops for $7.5~10. Otherwise I suppose I'll just give the MW2 key to someone I know.
Edit:
Missed this post, good news, thanks for the heads up.
kewl, thanks
Totally forgot there was a Hell Yeah! demo. I just played it for a few minutes as well and I'm sold! I need this game! Beautiful colourful 60fps action and hilarious writing
edit: used my GMG credit and got it for 1.36... not bad at all.
Bought as well. That's it, no more new games this month.Totally forgot there was a Hell Yeah! demo. I just played it for a few minutes as well and I'm sold! I need this game! Beautiful colourful 60fps action and hilarious writing

until the autumn sale begins and I can't help myself
METRO 2033 RAGE INCOMING
I just got done with a session of Metro 2033 and I'm pretty ticked off at the game. I'm at a stealth sequence - a pretty long one - and it just checkpointed me immediately after I stepped on some crushed glass or somehow otherwise alerted a patrol.
As a result, as soon as I load my checkpoint, enemies come looking for me and start shooting. I shoot back, but there's about a dozen of them, maybe even more. What's worse is that they're ridiculously well-armored, and it takes 2-3 shotgun rounds at point blank to kill any of them. Going for headshots isn't much of an improvement because they all have helmets, and I'm a shitty shot with my controller*. What's cool is that they can be downed relatively quickly if you shoot them in their shoulders or other unarmored regions, but that's not that feasible because they have good aim and your vision goes crazy when you get shot.
I turned it down to easy and just shot people for a good half hour, but I still managed to get mowed down when more reinforcements arrived, or when a machine gun trolley thing drove past me in the tunnel I had to go through.
Did I mention that I somehow ran out of gas mask filters on an above-ground, and then I had to play through a toxic gas section without my gasmask? Luckily I was able to sprint to a "clean" area, but it was still worrying.
I want to love this game, and I do - it has some amazing design and aesthetic choices - but the insane amount of first-person cutscenes and "follow me" sequences, and now this stealth section and its shitty checkpointing are really putting me off. Is it worth it to try and finish Metro, or should I move on?
*I'm playing on a controller despite being a m/kb guy because the m/kb support is bullshit. The mouse's x-axis sensitivity is higher than the y-axis', and I can't find a way to change it. And if you have your controller plugged in, your m/kb still works, but all the prompts are for the controller. It's pretty damn annoying if you have your controller plugged in 24/7 like I do.

Got a nice payday last week. I can't stop buying shit. My wishlist has already been cut in half. In the past 4 days I've bought:
Dishonored
Hotline Miami
Super Meat Boy
Dark Souls
And a 360 gamepad for my laptop.
And I already had Hitman Absolution pre-purchased, so I'm definitely going to play that immediately. A fool and his money are soon parted, undoubtedly. On the plus side, I don't regret a single on of my purchases. So many of my games play a lot easier with gamepad. Dark Souls, Hotline Miami, and Super Meat Boy are all addictive and supremely punishing. Dishonored is dripping with atmosphere and I love it's adjustments on the stealth genre.

Guarantee most all of those are going to be on sale for much cheaper during the holiday sale. Slow down with the spending and wait for the holiday sale.
Now is not the time to be buying Steam games that aren't on sale.
To be fair, Super Meat Boy was $2.50 and Dark Souls was like $17. But yeah, no more spending until the Holiday Sale. My backlog is big enough. It was simply a matter of spend money on games or on things that last much shorter and leave me with much more shame. I've few expenses and money has a way of burning a hole in my pocket.

Will be picking up BLOPS too for 10$. It was about time.

Finished Darksiders on Normal in ~13h. Got about 90% of the collectibles, which is enough for me atm. I might return to it eventually to get the rest but I didn't really feel compelled to do so during my regular playthrough.
Any of the DLC worth getting anyway? For 10$ it might as well be worth the price of admission for SP, a few zombie maps and whoever still plays stock maps? I heard that getting the map packs for MW2 PC wasn't worth it anyway.
I'd argue against the DLC if you hope to make use of it, seeing as today's peak player count for Black Ops MP is less than 5000.
