That's how I got it
Me too. Random Amazon sale, iirc.
Midweek Madness #1 is 66% off Sins of a Solar Star: Rebellion ($13.59, $40.79 for a four-pack [~$10.20 per head], $15.29 for the game + OST bundle or $45 for the Stardock Pack)
Midweek Madness #2 is 66% off Cities XL Platinum ($10.20)
Edit: The Daily is 75% off the Dead Space franchise. Mass Effect, Need for Speed and Burnout Paradise were just 2-3 weeks ago. EA testing the water?

I need DS3 on Steam.
I have Dead Space 1 on Steam and Dead Space 2 & 3 on Origin.
For some reason this situation makes my OCD itch much worse than anything else on Steam, including sequels that sort out of order, duplicate and bad games in my collection.

Thanks.
If I had to choose just one EA title to make the jump to Steam, it'd be The Saboteur. I got it for free during the coupon stuff-up a while ago... but I keep forgetting to install it. Perhaps a part of me is hoping it'll be on Steam one day.
EA is looking to have some potentially compelling properties coming up.
Dice
Battlefield
Battlefront
Mirror's Edge
Visceral
New IP
Starwars 1313 (or some other Star Wars title)
Dead Space
Bioware
The quality of this studio has really taken a nosedive but they might come up with a decent Star Wars RPG.
Install Dead Space 1 on Steam
Retrieve the key from the registry entry
Activate Dead Space 1 on Origin

I have 99 unplayed games and am trying to reduce my backlog...Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't
I added some info on the Tsundoku group. No one wants to join?

You should really give the group an avatar/icon whatever, though. I mean, you already have this:

its more of a strategy game with light 4x features, its fun but you'd be disappointed going in expecting Gal civ.
I'm about to pass a massive milestone in my backlog.
After I beat System Shock 2, I will have more games completed than those in my backlog!

You clearly aren't buying nearly enough games. You are like an Oliver Twist that doesn't have enough fire in the belly to demand more gruel.
I've personally put the brakes on buying games.
Decided that there is little value in owning and playing through mediocre games.
Hitman Absolution is a great example, I saw it on sale for $5 on Amazon the other week. Decided to ignore it
But how will you get that Steam library number up? That number needs to go up.

I saw that same thing and did the exact opposite, and now I have a motion activated bomb sitting in my Steam library. But it was a CHEAP bomb!...

How cheap could you find it?
Edit: I have just checked, and my Steam code was already activated.
You're a smart man. Time > money.

dunno, backlog sounds better than tsunduku
I've had the backloggery icon for 100+ unfinished games since the day I joined backloggery. Just 45 more completed games until I'm in the clear.
Surely it can't be THAT bad, right?Both of these posts have a sense of self punishment about them
No idea. As I said, I want to get all the non-cheat and non-costume DLC before I even begin to play it xD
So far I'm only lacking Year of the Snake. Once I buy it I'll be able to start the game.

Those EU III DLC are not Steam and neither is Darkest Hour. I edited my lists early on to reflect that and most of the errors were with Paradox titles. The rest are Steam but Achtung has never been in stock so far and probably won't be, and Ferrari hasn't went on sale quite yet.

Thank you for the info. I was trying to figure out if the Paradox DLC was mixed Steam/Non-Steam or not. Almost bought Darkest Hour/Their Finest Hour figuring that the logical assumption to make would be that they would activate on Steam if they were selling alongside the base game which was Steam activated... Really quite annoying that they aren't. Thanks again for saving me the trouble of making mistaken purchases.

Two sold yesterday for $55.20. Very nice.
Dark Forces II is a really damn good FPS. Superb followup to the first Dark Forces, an overall better game. Kinda janky on Windows 7 64 bit but still playable.
After I complete Mysteries of the Sith, I shall finally experience Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy. OH LAWWWWWD I CAN'T WAIT

listen to the mad man
I'm looking into Steam userscripts to try to enhance my Steam experience. I found one that darkens games in the game list that you already own so it's easier to browse through large categories. That's cool.
I'm looking for one that lists a game's lowest historical price next to the current price (presumably it'd use a third party database). The operative thing here is that I want that price displayed on the page, not having to look it up manually. Does this exist?

So, Cities XL worth it if I already have Sim City 4?
Does it have to be userscripts? Enhanced Steam will do that, but it will highlight games you already own in green vs darkening them.

Thanks.
Edit: Sucks that the pricing info is only available on the game page, not wishlists or browsing.

Oh man that sounds like an awesome gauntlet.
I would probably play Jedi Knight 2 with you if I wasn't playing System Shock 2 right now.
I like to switch up genres so I don't get burned out on a particular one.
Dust: An Elysian Tail will be next for me.
I will answer myself, indeed, the sega logo now replaces the THQ one, even in the copyright stuff

That is some bullshit.
Tell me about it. At least keys sell pretty quickly.
