I still dislike how squished the discussion forum threads are. Prefer GAF-style, with the threads extending the entire width of my screen.

What's the chances of Shogun 2: Total War getting a discount this X-mas?

It will definitely be discounted. The question is more, "By how much?"
This is what happens if you give people roll-able desks!

The Half-Life 3 team spends their days rolling down hills.
Probably. The game is pretty much always on sale at one or more of the DD stores out there. I don't know why people even bother buying Sega titles at full price.
"Err we should really start on it guys ... guys? ah hell fine. Downhill Desk Derby 967th run!'

That sounds really good.
I think it was on sale last month or so (can't remember how much). Very unfortunate I missed it, because I got to playing around with the demo and absolutely loved it. I've been checking steam for the past week every day hoping it was on sale. But this is really great news. I'm saving my money for it.
This seems like a Client wide issue
Annoys the heck out of how the Friends section of Community seems suited for 4:3, leaving vast amounts of barren real estate It was 66% off most recently but has been 75% off a few times throughout the year. I suspect a repeat of the latter rather than the former.

Red Orchestra seems to have a free weekend once every month.

That's very good.
It's really strange. I had looked at it and was turned off by the trailer and screen shots. But once I had gotten my hands on it, I was pleasantly surprised. This deserves to get marketed really well.
I'm sure the game's seen a lot of impulse purchases, but as far as I can tell, the concurrent player count hasn't benefited.
Edit: Outside of the Free Weekend periods, that is.

I remember buying this game on release, playing it for a bit then stopping because there were a shit ton of issues. Seemed like they wanted to get it out before COD.
Man, that's just over £5. Can't imagine it'll be much cheaper in the Winter Sale (... right?) :|
Let's test that. What soul level are you and in what area? *dusts off red eye orb*

I wonder if the game guides will work with their software section. I'd love a one stop spot for tutorials n such like for GameMaker n whatnot.
Also is it just me or whenever I press the Store button to go to the homepage in the steam client, it either takes forever to load or just decides to not work?

It'll be worth the wait, but 2-4 days? Yikes. I hope it doesn't really take that long. Stuff like that makes me scared to ever venture outside of Steam and Amazon for my Steamworks needs.
It does include them.

Market steam is saying I have 200+ items for TF2 in the tab but then in the big box it says I have none. Halp ?

Virtual marketplaces and killing GameFAQs is all fine and dandy, but where is my fucking livestream integration, Valve?

Actually, this is the system's fault for the high price paid by the buyer in this case. I am sure if you look through the 226 kilo-crates on the market, you can find a crate of any given serie priced 2 cents. There is no fair price in a system which does not smoothly provide information to the traders. But, given enough time, some people will be willing to look at all the crates and buy the mispriced ones and sell the others, and prices will correct with a smaller delay.
What have you done, Valve?

Regular crates are largely worthless, but you can fetch a decent amount from #30 or #40.

This is only an issue for a few of the items like crates. Not sure what they have planned with modified items in the future, but listing just the starting price for items like keys is all you really need if they're all identical.

Just listed a crate for £89.99. Hoping for some idiot to buy it ironically.
Wok

This could happen. The problem is you will have to wait for a really long time.
Plus, the prices of crates and keys should be highly correlated, and so far, the volumes cannot compare, so the prices of crates should stay close to zero. We can only hope for someone too lazy to go through all the crates in order to find a specific serie and which happens to be the serie you have put on sale.

Crysis 2 is now cheaper than during the last sale. :\
(netherlands, was 10 euro, now 8,74 euro)
They are probably trying to create awareness for Crysis 3 at this point. So i would kind of expect the price to go below 8 during the holiday sale, or when Crysis 3 is about to be released.
Yes, I am totally on EA's payroll for creating free PR here. So sorry.

I wish :')
I don't think EA would pay people to effectively tell others to wait on buying one of their games until it drops in price again.

That's right. We have to take Valve-time into consideration here. All of these new treats we're getting have been in development since before Half Life 3.
This. Sometimes I'll look on my tablet, but it's kind of hard to get good text guides anymore. I don't wanna watch some 20 minute vid of the level (that is tuff to search through on my tablet). So I'm excited about this.
I should start listing some of my shitty crates for like 12 dollars. Somebody will see it, think "why's it so expensive? Must be rare!", and sold!
EDIT: Just put all my crates on there. Cheapest starts at 6.xx and most expensive is 24.xx. No idea what any of them were worth. Nor do I care. But I find the whole process hilarious.

Bah, Crysis is the first game where I'm having a problem. For the life of me I can't get it display at 1080p 60hz on my HDTV, it only does 24hz. Googled a few solutions, but no luck so far.
Well, shit, I still go to GameFAQs whenever I get stuck somewhere. Maybe it's because I grew up with it, but I still love the ASCII art and ctrl+f-ing my way through a guide to jump to certain sections. A lot of the time, going to GameFAQs while playing a JRPG kind of reinforces the nostalgia of playing.
