So there's like 1 more game left to be the Paradox daily then?
I hope it's Warlock.

Can't believe Namco just stealth released Big Bang Racing the way they did.
Don't think it was the greatest idea to limit the demo to the really slow car class. Certainly doesn't do them any marketing favors. Also is going to hurt them that there's no online multiplayer (leaderboards aside).
But I'm sold. As expected from a top-down game, looks absolutely awesome in 3D. I'm tempted to buy it right now (15 percent off) just to see if my single purchase can push it into the top 20 sales wise. I've currently got three games going in my playlist (and I like to keep it to ONE), so I'm not sure I'd really play this before the summer sale. But I'm going to think about it. I feel they deserve it. So I may just throw them a pity bone.

Not really impressed with Namco's publishing efforts on PC so far (this, Ridge Racer, and now the Dark Souls port).
What are the like in this game? Are they sort of based on real world ones (but with enough differences to not get sued)? I think I saw one that looked like a Camaro in one of the promo shots.
Myself and a few mates will (well, should) be spending our Lazy Sunday playing through Amnesia: TDD, and since my experience with the game extends just to running through it aimlessly (and helpfully edited) for the Portal 2 ARG achievement potato/es, I'm wondering if there are any mods/tweaks I should be aware of?

It's worth it if you're a fan of the game. $5, cost of a latte, meh. I played a few rounds last night and died hilariously.

Hmm wait now I'm sort of confused.
What timezone does Steam use? Since it's June 10 here but I take it it's June 9 in Steam side, right?

PST. They update it via California time, basically.

Ah I see, so it's still Saturday there.
What do you guys think will be the main sale for the next day - not too familiar with Paradox's bigger titles since I only know most of their smaller ones.

Crusader Kings 2 if this is anything to go by. All of the games mentioned in that stream, in that order, have been the sale daily deals.
That is pretty much the exact thing that happened to me last night too, except I just blocked him right after seeing the link. A real poor attempt.

I've been out of the PC loop for so long. I got a laptop to play Diablo III, which is awesome, especially co-op. Picked up Civ V in the recent sale and am enjoying it.
Anticipating the Steam sale so that I can round out my PC catalog a bit ... while still suffering a hefty backlog on the 360 and PS3.
However, I see these games going on sale and I have no clue if I should be jumping in.
So, Mount & Blade. What kind of games are they? Thumbs up, thumbs down?

Minor rant:
All my work on custom Quake images is for naught because I forgot about one little thing:

I really want to know why iD couldn't make the Quake mission packs act like DLC...

Yes, it has the most mods and a good combat system.

At least its not like Fear where the expansions show up as separate games but can't be downloaded separately.

pretty sure you'll be good with just warband xel, I never even started playing the next one when I bought the two-pack a while ago.
FYI Reinstalling pretty much never fixes anything.
Just check the file integrity through Steam.
Play warband, it's basically a enhanced version of the first mount and blade.

Skip to Warband. Ignore the original and With Fire & Sword.
After that, head over to The Caravanserai and mod up!
If you're completely new to the game, mess around in Vanilla first.
If you want a difficult and rich single player experience, I recommend Prophesy of Pendor and Brytenwalda. For MP, I've stuck to Vanilla and cRPG.
I did that yesterday along with every other possible solution in the Steam support page and it still was busted.
But deleting the local content and reinstalling ended up fixing it in this case, I'm almost sure it was because I did a name change on my Windows User account in between installing the game, and actually playing it for the first time. Thanks for the reply.

Has Sword of the Stars 2 been a daily deal sale yet? If not, I could see them offering that at 75% off rather than CK2 - since CK2 has only been out a few months.
I have Crusader Kings 2, Sword of the Stars 2 and Magicka + The Stars are Left DLC that I will sell for 12.49 or individually at:
$9 CK2
$3 Magicka + DLC
$3 Sword of the Stars 2
if anyone wants them. Got them from that Amazon bundle but I only bought it for Victoria 2 since it wasn't discounted anyways. I can't imagine that they'd be any lower than that on a daily.
I believe it was a few weeks ago for 9.99.

It was 75% off [as a daily deal] days before the Paradox sale began.

Valve related surprise in the movie, at around 3:00 if you wanna skip to it, but it's funnier/cooler if you watch from the beginning!

Don't have an account there. I'm trying to reduce the amount of accounts I have because these places will get hacked eventually. Makes things a lot less stressful for me.
Thanks to Xelios also!
I still have Magicka + DLC available and it is the Magicka Collection per what my Digital Download library says so you'd get I believe every DLC along with the game for only $3 if anyone wants it. No way you'll get a daily better than that.
To sweeten the pot, I also have a product code for SotS Complete Collection that I will give away with Magicka. This DOES NOT activate on Steam and is the first game but it would be activate the product however they activate non-Steam games if you want it. If the buyer doesn't want it, I'll give it away after the game is sold. I dunno how you'd get the game files to actiavte but maybe you can download it on the Paradox website? Not sure.

Never played the first Far Cry. Is it worth getting?

Definitely. It's the best in the series, without a doubt.
