That's what you get for trying to cheat the challenge! ;)

I'll play and finish Absolution immediately so it's not cheating!

Oh yeah? I bet you 5 bucks worth of games (you should wait for the autumn or winter sale to buy them, so they are cheaper) that I'll beat you before Absolution comes out. Are you up to the (Sniper) challenge?

If you want to bet who's better by the time Absolution comes out, I'm in. 5$/4€.
 
Cross post from the Hitman thread:

£17.55 on Steam through GMG:

https://www.greenmangaming.com/s/gb/...-absolution-2/

use code: GMG35-FGR37-COY0B

I don't suppose this includes the Sniper Challenge game or the other Hitman games that come with the Steam pre-order does it?

For the Steam pre-order, you do get to own and keep the bonus Hitman games? Just want to make sure it's not a limited time access thing since the pre-order page isn't really clear about it.

Just saw Awesomenauts was the weekend deal. Decided I should pop in and endorse it. Aside from Diablo 3, it's the only game I've been playing lately. Lots of fun, lots of interesting characters, just an overall good time. I play a lot with friends locally, and online every now and then. Feel free to add me to steam if you want someone to play with. Steam name is bizzitybrad.
Now go buy it!
Do it!

I remember AusSteam having an awesome price on that..

was it even lower than what Amazon is offering?

Yes; the Franchise Pack was $9.79 (for AusGAF) at one point during the Summer Sale. It was discounted by 90-something percent, haha.

Sniper Challenge: Yes, you actually only get the Sniper Challenge code until the 20th, when they'll send you a second code. You have to go through hoops to actually get Sniper Challenge though...

I wasn't aware you got the other Hitman games on Steam as a bonus, and yes, of course you get to keep them :D

It was a Flash Sale, IIRC.

Edit: I just noticed how poorly worded that post is, haha. Sorry!

Damn Steam for not letting me add that to my cart! I was looking forward to getting paid €12.50 to take a copy of the game.

my post? haha my bad. was typing it in a rush ^^

Nah, my post. I said "during the Summer Sale", when I meant "at one point during the Summer Sale", since, if memory serves, the discount was the result of a Flash Sale.

Just got a notification on Facebook that Torchlight 2 will be on sale during the Steam Thanksgiving Sale. Haven't heard any news about a Thanksgiving Sale nor TL2 being discounted so thought I'd share the news.
 
THQ bundle starts at 2pm EDT. You should be able to see them amazon.com, but will need a US delivery address (doesn't matter about the CC, I don't think).

I find it somewhat worrying that a CC would be associated with a person and their address I know nothing about though. It is a billing address after all.

2 and half hours from now.

ah, thanks. I suck at time conversion. :')

Billing address needs to be your own associated with the CC. The delivery address (which doesn't really matter because it's a digital product) needs to be a US one.
 
Also enjoyed it. Hell if they had like a bunch of levels and some backstory to the people it could honestly be a solid 15 dollar game.

Yup, they have nailed the core mechanics, it'd be a shame if they don't do anything without it. I hope Contracts mode has something similar to it.

I just hit 1.6 mio. points in the challenge, firmly placed at #1 on my friend list.

I only get billing address and that's it. "Not US, no buy"

It's probably (a lot) easier if someone just gifts it to me and I use paypal to pay for it. Because that actually works.

I've never been able to get this to work, my billing address obviously needs to match up correctly, but no matter what shipping address I used it always blocked me from buying.

Besides, I'm not sure if its worth getting your Amazon account banned for, Amazon is not shy about just locking your account for tiny little reasons and throwing the key away, this would be one of those tiny little reasons.
