Debit cards are fine yes?

You mean on Amazon? That's what I use.

Price has now updated for Football Manager 2012. It's $5.99 for the next few days on Amazon.

Cheers for that. Can't get enough of Sega on Steam.

Finally got the Dota 2 invitation Thanks Valve.

How does these invitations work? is it too late to register from where ever you may get it?

It is totally random.Just go and register for beta here http://www.dota2.com/survey/experience/

 

[Boss Doggie]

Gonna try the demo soon for the manager, hope I like it!

It is fantastic. A warning though - it will take over your life.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Ahh it's more of a sim than a sports game, silly Steam.

EDIT: Amazon's download stuff only works in US =/

Where's that thread that's about regional gifting?

 

[Kinky John]

I just noticed that they've changed the layout of the games list in our profiles. Instead of showing a list of everything you own, you now only see 10 and have to click 'Next 10' to cycle through them.

I just used the address/phone number for the Alaska state capitol building to buy FM2012. I hope Amazon and/or the US GOV don't send their highly-trained ninjas after me.

Hmmm. Yeah. Not liking it.

 

[JaseC]

Hmmm. Yeah. Not liking it.

It is a tad cumbersome.

 

[Acidote]

So, is The Missing Link worth it for 2.75€?

 

[Nabs]

UK Gaffers might be interested: Wargame: European Escalation (Steam) is £12.99 (£10 with code pcgamer20) here http://www.pcworlddownloads.co.uk/product/lp28692/wargame-european-escalation/

Note: I think the site is region locked.

Did you love Deus Ex: HR and wish you could play more of it?

 

[Archie]

Looks like the Portal 2 level editor might be coming out soon (Valve time, lol)

Hopefully it uses Steam Workshop.

 

[MNC]

So, is The Missing Link worth it for 2.75€?

Super cheap for a pretty long mission (4-5 hours?) I haven't completed it yet, but it's very hefty.

Think this. Saints Row extra weapon is 1€ or so. An entire extra mission for Deus Ex is 2.75€. Great value.

 

[Acidote]

Did you love Deus Ex: HR and wish you could play more of it?

Bought.

 

[StuBurns]

Isn't it coming with the second DLC? They haven't talked about the other content at all, I'll be surprised if it's 'soon'.

 

[Seronei]

Just got Football Manager 2012 gifted to me but for some reason it refuses to show up in my game list. I've tried google but I haven't found any solution that works, does anyone know why/how to fix it?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs (currently on Vita only) is coming to PC and Mac and will apparently be on Steam as this article mentions Steam achievements. It's a pretty fun game, too.

http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/07/tales-from-space-mutant-blobs-attack-moving-from-vita-to-pc/

Excellent, was one of the top games on my Vita to-buy list, and I probably won't pick up a Vita until Christmas or next year, so I'll get to play it regardless!

I will say this, as gimmicky as some may think the touch and gyros are, they work excellent for Blobs Attack. That's a big part of some of the levels which hooked me. But at least the game play stays fresh and keeps throwing newer game play perks at you instead of establishing something early on and sticking to it.

You really should buy this on Vita. It's one of the big surprises of the launch. The PSN ratings have gone from the upper 500's to lower 7's to a little over 900 a few days back. Word of mouth seems to be helping this one and rightfully so.

That being said, I will double dip on this.

 

[JaseC]

I can't remember the last time I was able to opt-in to a Steam client beta and not have it freeze constantly.

 

[Minsc]

Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 was added to the registry.

Wonder how many more years until we can have full deck editing? MtG 2017?

More seriously, any previews mention what features this new release is adding over the last?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I wonder if MtG will get hats like it did last year. The goggles for Scout were awesome.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I can't remember the last time I was able to opt-in to a Steam client beta and not have it freeze constantly.

I thought I was the only one but damn, it's annoying. I opt in at times and it never fails. I think I'm in right now and Steam is less responsive too. It takes like 2 right clicks every time, without fault, to bring up my friends list when it doesn't open automatically.

 

[ArjanN]

Wizorb got added to the registry.

 

[daviyoung]

Wizorb got added to the registry.

I love this game so much! Have it on XBIG.

It's probably not that great, but I'm a sucker for any Breakout clone.

 

[Volcynika]

Wizorb got added to the registry.

They announced it was coming to Steam a few days or so ago, so yup.

I don't know if these are the only issues I have, but what I've noticed is that Steam tends to freeze when downloading/updating/verifying data. Converting a game to the new format? Freeze. Verifying cache? Freeze. Resuming a download? Freeze. I don't experience any of these issues when the final version is rolled out, it's just the betas my PC isn't fond of.

 

[Boss Doggie]

What was that GAF thread again for gifting cross-regional games?

I just used the address/phone number for the Alaska state capitol building to buy FM2012. I hope Amazon and/or the US GOV don't send their highly-trained ninjas after me.

I thought it uses your card's address.

 

[ShaneB]

Wizorb got added to the registry.

I think the release date was stated to be the 16th.

 

[Dice]

Is it still going to be only $3?

 

[Madridy]

Any one else got the Risen update(s)? I think it was two updates, the 2nd one was 228MB in size which is pretty big. Hopefully they removed the Tages DRM, or maybe it is related to Risen 2?

 

[Fare Godmace]

This one. I see you found it, but I'm putting it here in case anyone else is looking for it (I was, Deus Ex is 12€ in Europe )

 

[Kinky John]

It doesn't.

That sure would be nice. I have a feeling that TAGES will die far sooner than Valve and we'll be stuck with useless games.

Today's Deal: Save 50% off Prototype!

 

[Boss Doggie]

Man, no one in that other thread? =/

 

[MRORANGE]

Prototype was cheaper during the winter sale.

Man, no one in that other thread? =/

give it a few hours, you could also try the amazon sale thread if anyone there is willing to help out.


2K weekend (50% off everything, daily deal as well)

Borderlands 75% off

 

[Leon Belmont]

Today's Deal: Save 50% off Prototype!

Damn 8 days later... I could use my old 66% off Prototype.... I'll wait to be cheaper!

Also Bioshock 1 and Bioshock 2 are 50% off

 

[jaundicejuice]

They are going to remove TAGES from Risen. Piranha mentioned that they've already provided Valve the patch a week or two ago. I'll re-install Risen to verify, been meaning to replay that game.

http://www.greenmangaming.co.uk/games/strategy/sid-meiers-civilization-v/

WHAT.

Ah, I shouldn't get so excited about this - I haven't even touched Civ IV yet. Damn backlog

 

[MRORANGE]

PS: if you do not have Borderlands yet get the GOTY version it has all DLC for the same price as the vanilla version of the game.

really, every single person on steam has this game already, I've lost count on how many times it went on sale.

 

[tjohn86]

Prototype has stayed so expensive... kind of odd for such a lackluster game.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah, I already have that too.

What amazon thread? O:

 

[HoosTrax]

It seems like Borderlands is on sale at least once every month. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the most commonly owned non-Valve, non-F2P game on Steam by now, other than maybe Torchlight.

Anyways, I'm hoping for a good discount on Civ V: GOTY. I saw that sale on GMG for the base game, but there's not much discount on the GOTY version. If Steam has a Civ V day with a 75% discount ($12.50 I think?), I'll bite.

And yet, I still see people on the trading forum asking for it. Every time I see it, I shake my head and ask to myself, how can you not own this game already?

Wizorb got added to the registry.

It feels like I've been waiting for this for months, or something. I'll buy it at a high price! (well, percentage-wise)

I just want to say Stacking is so good. You should all buy it. It has made me forget all about Mass Effect 3 that I am halfway through.
