For military tactical.
My one PC dream is to play DayZ, but I cant run Arma 2
Standalone should be released within the next couple of weeks.
Its running on a heavily modified Arma II engine though, so you probably won't be able to run it.
That will probably be my game for the rest of the year.
I hope I got EU III Chronicles Collection. But every second passing by makes me think I didnt.
edit: I got it, thanks.

Gordon Bennett you guys!
Slow down!
Trying to catch up on all the latest happenings takes an hour or more!
Damn.
The sale isn't allowed to start until Salsa is banned. Garry personally signs in to check.

Find AliceEngine.ini on Documents\My Games\Alice Madness Returns\AliceGame\Config
Search for MaxSmoothedFrameRate and replace 31 with the max fps that you want

That seems to be the plan!
Cold War Assault is the game formerly known as Operation Flashpoint, aka one of the best war games ever made. Armed Assault is the sequel (with a different name, I think Codemasters kept the rights for the Operation Flashpoint name). Gold contains Armed Assault and the expansion Queen's Gambit. Combat Operations is another name for Armed Assault. Basically what Jase said a page ago.
I'm doubting myself whether to grab the whole franchise once it goes on sale for a cheap price (75% off) or just Cold War Assault, since I loved that game back then, but never finished it.

Any word/rumoring about pricing? Might hold on to some of my funds if it really is a few weeks off.
Because we are ready for a miracle.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
We believe in Gaben
The game will be released as an Early Access title and, also like Arma 3, the price will increase (+$10 was floated as an example) as the game moves towards full release (i.e. the alpha will be cheaper than the beta which itself will be cheaper than the final build).
I've given up, I just jump to the end of the discussion and have no idea what anybody is talking about. XD
The seals have aligned. It is time to unleash the krakken.

Nothing definite, though the developer rocket said it would be cheaper than ArmA II is. Though really that could mean anything.

Yeah but I don't want to miss out on some of the zingers from morningbus, and watching the juniors go at it is amusing, if not slightly despairing.

Somebody's going to ask this at least twice a page huh
Oh cool! I got Legend of Grimrock. Thanks Xclash!
NP, glad that the keys I have around are finally getting use.

listen to the mad man
So I'm a Big Doofus and I Accidentally Claimed a Key I Don't Want, What Do I Do Now?!?!?!!
Well, first of all, you're a doofus. Doofus. Don't do this.
Second of all, I've got a solution for you. Send a PM to ModBot. The title should contain the word nuke. The body should contain, one per line, Steam Keys you wish to unclaim. Not ModBot keys, Steam keys. Not more than one per line. No game titles. Just the keys.
So, example:
Title: nuke these keys
Body:
FART1-FART2-FART3
ABCD-EFGH-EEEE
EVER-YONE-FART
You will not receive a response or feedback, and the original post will not be edited to reflect that your claim has been relinquished, but the key will be removed from ModBot. You can re-post it as your own giveaway, or if you're a nice guy, contact the person who ran the original giveaway, send them the key, and say "sorry I claimed this but I didn't want it. I removed it from ModBot. You can relist it." The record of you taking the key will not be erased, and you will be considered to have won for the rules that prohibit previous winners from partaking.
Why so stringent on all counts? To prevent people from winning keys, redeeming them, nuking them to remove themselves from the winners list, and claiming more keys. Also, to dissuade people from claiming keys they don't want.
(This info will be edited into the ModBot thread, so no need to quote or anything)

So which is considered the better one? Arma Gold or Cold War Assault (aka Flashpoint)?

Excuse my complete ignorance, but if you buy the alpha will you later have to purchase the beta or lose access to the game, or is it a one time purchase á la Minecraft? Only reason I ask is because a friend gave me a Arma 3 alpha invite and it obviously expired.
Yes, but it's a preorder. Buying it now or a day before it's released is exactly the same.
Of course, you're free to do whatever you please. But if you're worried that it may get cheaper during the sale (I doubt it, never heard of preorders getting a discount during Steam sales) then waiting wouldn't hurt you at all.
On another note, I started Zeno Clash. It looks really nice, and I'm digging the first person melee combat, even if I'm often getting my ass handed to me.
but are you cool enough to put arnold gifs in the modbot thread
A single purchase entitles you to future builds. In your case with Arma 3, you would have been gifted the "lite" version of the alpha, which was essentially just a guest pass; if you'd purchased the alpha proper, you would have been granted access to the beta and the final release.
Sell sell sell. Go for the sure thing.
Sell it. Summer sale starts tomorrow!

Anyone know somewhere to buy cheaper than retail Steam wallet cards? I can go to Target and get 5% off with my redcard (47.50 for a $50) but I wanted to check first.
Amazon price matched or undercut Steam quite often last year, but that's because the two Summer Sales overlapped by quite a large margin (this year it's just by a matter of a few days). Tony may seek price matches on Steam's more popular deals on recent releases, but I wouldn't expect a repeat of last year given Amazon's own Summer Sale is ending soon.
