Last year, during every day of the winter sale, 10 users won the top 10 items on their wishlists. But that was during the winter sale, not the fall sale...right? Nothing like that was done then...

Seems more likely that there'll be some sort of fall sale badge with that as a prerequisite.


BTW, thanks for this. I totally agree.

Was it random, or were there some kind of achievements or competition involved? I wouldn't mind getting 10 games I want, that'd make me a happy panda.


Because right now I'm a sad one. If I can't get Hitman to run by updating the video drivers, I'll cry myself to sleep.

If memory serves, each piece of coal you didn't trade/spend counted as an entry into the contest.

Coal was a glorious 2 week prison economy, that many of us really made out well on.

I don't see the Casual market buying The Sims on Steam.

I see the Casual Marketing buying a DVD with the game on Walmart.

And they'd be getting a better deal since they'd get the Mac version in the box as well.. EA don't like Steam Play - apparently it's okay in a retail box but not a digital download.. !?

 

[Rickenslacker]

So anyone want Ravaged? Got the code for free earlier today but ultimately decided not to add a game to my account that I probably never have any intention of playing. First to quote and all that.

me?

edit: thanks

Nevermind! ^^

 

[camerooni]

Yeah, my wishlist link is gone. I have to find it under gameplay stats on my profile page now.

It always breaks just before a big sale.. maybe they couldn't stop it from showing sale prices before the official start so they just pulled it.. is the current list that is working showing prices?

EDIT: Ah no they're all there.. maybe it's just spring cleaning.. hopefully they remove the 'Friends' link duplication/confusion.. I would also really appreciate it if they change the 'Friends who own this game' xx amount of time playing to be the actual total on the game store page rather than 'time played in the last 14 days'.. as it would be really useful at a glance to see how much time people had put into something.. sure.. 20 people may own this game.. but they've only played it for 5 minutes each

 

[Traumahound]

I can see mine just fine. Did you log yourself out by accident?

Speaking of wishlists, I'm making my wishlist of recent adventure games:
- Deponia
- The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav
- The Book of Unwritten Tales

Am I forgetting anything? (just got Dream Machine and I don't know if I'm fond enough of zombies to want the Telltale game)

There's also a second Deponia game, Chaos on Deponia. I quite liked both of them. Resonance is also supposed to be really good, but I haven't played that one yet.

 

[arts&crafts]

I will give someone 3 cigarettes and a half eaten Twinkie for 1 piece of virtual coal.

[Lizardus]

I was unpacking Hitman Absolution and it seemed to have made my computer extremely slow. Does unpacking have this effect on the PC?

Yes it's normal.

Civ 5 Gods & Kings back in stock.

-----------------------
100% confirmed Steam keys for the ongoing Amazon sale -- WORK IN PROGRESS. Civilization Mac codes give you the Windows version as well -- CONFIRMED. Thanks to Isaccard and 7extonly for all the heads ups on new news!

Starting 11/18-11/26:

• Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods and Kings - $7.49

100% confirmed, but it still trolls you by saying "Mac" at every step of the way.

 

[Sanjay]

what is planetside like? never played it.

It's like Battlefield 1942 / Shattered Horizons but bigger.

 

[Salsa]

wait wasnt the walking dead ep 5 supposed to come out today?

 

[Snuggles]

Tomorrow/Wednesday. PSN (US) always gets it a day before the rest of us.

god dammit


also im torn between saving money for sales or getting Far Cry 3

 

[Isaccard]

Sales > Far Cry 3

 

[RionaaM]

I hate my stupid PC, I cleaned it 2 weeks ago and it's still having severe slowdowns every 15 minutes or so, whenever I play something resource-heavy. Makes it impossible to enjoy Hitman. First thing I'm doing when I save a nice amount of money is getting a top of the line rig.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Sales > Far Cry 3

Easily.

 

[VALIS]

100% confirmed, but it still trolls you by saying "Mac" at every step of the way.

Yeah, from the exclamation point warning on the Amazon checkout page to MAC VERSION ONLY on the Steam code entry window, I was like, Xelios/Wario/Tony better be right on this, or some serious shit is gonna go down.*




*no shit would have gone down

 

[Boss Doggie]

Sims 3: Seasons, Supernatural, Diesel Stuff, and Sweet Treats now on Steam!

Katy Perry is crap and all, but the Sweet Treats is actually pretty decent, as far as items go. If you want to live in a Wonka-style setting, it's pretty good.

With that said the price is pretty terrible (it's a fucking stuff pack, it should only cost as much as a stuff pack). It's not an expansion at all.

I got you. I have two. I'll be home in 30-ish minutes, if that's cool.

Salsa, your lack of knowledge on this subject offends me.

 

[atomsk]

I can still see my wishlist in the mobile app, faster than poking around for it when the link isn't on the front page (for me anyway)

Awesome thanks about to leave the house but my steam id is on my profile.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Why did I lie to Clementine?

I'm such an asshole.

You should all put me on your ignore lists.

 

[toddhunter]

Umm?

 

[KissVibes]

I hate to be that guy but I'm trying put a car back together right now, will the Thanksgiving sale start tomorrow really early or like an afternoon time?

 

[Caerith]

Umm?

Well, on that note, I should probably ignore the internet for the next 24 or so hours until the Steam version of TWD's final chapter launches.

 

[HoosTrax]

I hate to be that guy but I'm trying put a car back together right now, will the Thanksgiving sale start tomorrow really early or like an afternoon time?

I would bank on 1pm EST / noon CST / 11am PST.

There's also a second Deponia game, Chaos on Deponia. I quite liked both of them. Resonance is also supposed to be really good, but I haven't played that one yet.

Hmm thanks for reminding me...I should just add all of the Wadjet Eye games.

I just got updates for L4D2 and Portal 2. Everyone go crazy.

Some packs in the registry now. Street Fighter IV AE Complete, Dead Rising 2 (Incl. both games), Mass Effect (1+2), Max Payne 3 complete, Doublefine, Orcs Must Die...

OH GOD I HATE YOU CAPCOM
GODDAMMIT

I bought Off the Record for 7,50 last sale, so I just want Dead Rising 2 for really cheap, and they fucking bundle it? I bet it'll be 10 bucks and 7,50 each separated again.

 

[HoosTrax]

11 MST 10 PST.

Hmm, I guess I skipped a time zone . Darn Rocky Mountains.

 

[Salsa]

Salsa, your lack of knowledge on this subject offends me.

well, it basically boils down to this:

- get a bunch of games I wont play for any time soon

vs

- get 1 game I know im gonna play right away


the one thing im getting either way (because its ridiculous that I dont have it yet) is Mark of the Ninja

Get it Salsa, it's amazing.

Meanwhile, the DireTide event on Dota 2 was where my spending money went for the last 2 weeks. Let's just hope Dishonored isn't on sale this Autumn sale, or I'll burst into tears.

 

[xenoflux2113]

Its okay everyone skips us. We're used to it.

[Tizoc]

I just got updates for L4D2 and Portal 2. Everyone go crazy.

Some packs in the registry now. Street Fighter IV AE Complete, Dead Rising 2 (Incl. both games), Mass Effect (1+2), Max Payne 3 complete, Doublefine, Orcs Must Die...

Speaking of Portal 2, I should go and see if I can redeem Portal 2 for free from my PS3 copy...

...and any word on any PnC games going on sale soon? I just got me some off of GoG.com (Got like 8 for $10 lol)

 

[Sober]

Walking Dead $12.50 on Amazon tomorrow

Just as episode 5 releases? Damn, that's a sweet deal if I wasn't already sweating in anticipation for it to download.

The Steam sale coming tomorrow better now slow my download of TWD Episode 5.

 

[Def Jukie]

Definitely getting Walking Dead tomorrow. I've been waiting for all the episodes to be available. Last episode being released and half price = instant purchase. Looking forward to seeing what it's all about.

 

[bobnowhere]

Walking Dead $12.50 on Amazon tomorrow

Bought it at $15 as well, shame somewhere in the couple of days between ending ep3 and starting ep4, the game forgot how to access all my savegames. Tried all the solutions, no luck. :-(
