It feels like I've been waiting for this for months, or something. I'll buy it at a high price! (well, percentage-wise)
That might be in the top 5 gifs that I've ever seen. LOL

I don't own it. I like the idea of loot and RPG elements, but don't like first person games much in general. I always think about buying whenever it goes on sale, but haven't pulled the trigger.

Nice, this time I'll get the Mafia II DLC and maybe Civ V GOTY if it goes on sale.

Reign of Thunder was added to the registry. It's a F2P Mech title by Day 1 Studios and I guess it's a spiritual successor to their own MechAssault titles.

Nothing lackluster about it in my opinion. Worth the $15.
Anyway, bought-
Stronghold Collection - $10
Railroad Tycoon Collection (Includes Sid Meier's Railroads) - $7.50
Doubt they'll get any cheaper.

With stronghold 3 I wouldn't be suprised if there was a series sale one of the days.

Runs fine for me on 64 bit W7.
Not sure if this is the right place, but Football Manager 2012 is $5.99 on Amazon, and it's Steamworks.

Damn, Sid Meier's Railroads is not available in my region =/
Yeah been looking for someone who would buy it for me (to which I'll pay it in paypal) or would trade it for Renegade Ops + DLC

What's the likelihood of Civilization V going lower than the GMG sale?
Been wanting to buy it for a while and don't know whether to buy it right now from GreenManGaming or wait 3 days too see if Steam goes any lower. But then again they might not and then I'll lose GMG's sale..
Man, some first world problems I have...
Edit: And yes Sid Meier's Pirates runs fine on Windows 7. Still install it and play it from time to time. That game's fun.

Just set up an Amazon.com account and buy it. I used Google's HQ address and zip code for mine.
this doesn't work for all regions due to Amazon recognising payment types of certain regions.

Now we have concrete proof!
This is true. However, I heard someone in this forum mention that gift cards work for this.
This will never get old.

I just played an hour and a half of it. All I did was try to seduce all the married ladies in my town to try and get them to my house so I could trap them in this large garage I built full of flammable objects to make them pay for their sins.
I haven't gotten to get them all over for a party phase yet, but I had fun just being evil and building the giant death room, and making my guy socially awkward as hell (he wears a helmet all the time and plaid robes with army print shorts, hes pretty cool).
It seems like it could be really cool if you just go the two extremes: complete dollhouse, or crazy sandboxy playground.
I'm sure someone knows more about it than I do. Also this (seriously read this, hilarious stuff) sold me on it years ago, and I had been waiting for it all this time, so I was super excited about it.

Not sure but I caved today and bought Sims 3 
My games usually degenerate into trying to breed mutants, conducting lesbian relations with everyone in the town, attempting to destroy all marriages, encasing the worst cook I can find into a doorless room with an oven and fridge, sending Sims off for a swim and then selling the ladder to get out of the pool, encasing neighbor sims inside doorless rooms and not letting any Sims have toilets.
But in answer to your question - Yes the Sims torture simulator 3 is a lot of fun

appealing and boring = relaxing?
So it seems Piranha Bytes have indeed removed TAGES DRM from Risen. There is a couple people on steam forums confirming this. One guy says that he uninstalled the Tages drivers and the game started normally, while the other guy did a fresh install for the game and steam installed Tages but when he started the game it didn't connect him to the Tages servers to activate his copy. I too uninstalled the Tages drivers and my game started normally.
So while the game still installs the Tages drivers with the game, it doesn't use them for anything. Enjoy your DRM-free Risen people!
Played some Dead Horde seemed ok but it gets a bit boring after a while, anyway posted my thoughts considering it's going to be in a bundle soon.

Pro's
- nice physics engine
- local & online co-op with voice chat
- the zombies move very fast, same speed as you.
- nice level-up system for your weapons
- vehicle sections where you can mow down zombies
Con's
- loud techno music every time a hoard comes' (it's fucking awful)
- game looks very bland, turns into a snoozefest if your just playing by yourself (this is probably the biggest problem)
- you need to kill every zombie before moving ahead, this doesn't help as you may have missed one right at the start
- your main weapons has unlimited ammo and your stuck with it for a while.
- graphics not the best but everything is just muddy brown/grass textures which doesnt help, feels like your tredding the same ground again

I hope x comes at some point then.
luckily you can avoid this one, zombie drive & red nation do a better job than this game.
Ugh, if they bring do FSX to steam, I hope they do away with the activation limits scheme.
