GMG's ears must have been burning because there's now a 20% discount code! But it doesn't work on Injustice.
Doesn't work on Batman Oranges either, apparently.

Haha, that's okay, I wasn't looking to win anything.

I like the way you think.
I shall be the Emperor of New Belgium, which encompasses all of Europe. Fries will be the national dish, beer will the the national drink. It will be regarded as a terrestrial paradise, where the streets will be paved with chocolate and the State will be forever blessed by an eternal Summer Sale.
sounds too good, to be honest, you aren't telling something!
He's not telling you I would be Holy Emperor of the New Belgian empire that encompasses most of mainland Europe.
You and me, Blue Ninja, waffle irons at dawn.

Days were filled with bliss, sex and free games. All would rejoice, but none would dare think about the dark cost that came with the Empire's freedom from the everlasting Internet Wars. In secrecy, below New Belgium, lies the power network supplying the land with free energy. There dwell the ancient specters of those who ventured to deep into the rabbit hole of Steam Sales. Emaciated figures, forever chasing the cheapest deal, are trapped in a giant wheel wedged in the Heart of the Earth itself. They are trapped, forever doomed to make the wheel turn, but on their minds will always be the Steam sales.
The first of these Steamwraiths is known as the Witch-King of Bellevue. Ancient records named him Gaben, but he was corrupted by Steam's power, and imprisoned for the benefit of all mankind.
At the end of days, these Steamwraiths will burst free from their subterranean prison and wreak havoc upon the world once more. All shall fall.
Haha, your post combined with your avatar instantly brings to mind this:
In the land known as Ash-Pit, formerely named Bellevue, these chimps will be gathered to quickly write code for the games needed to fuel the Steam sales. Millions of Bad Rats sequels will follow. All will be bought.

Thank you!
I'm installing BNW as we speak. Oh Odin, have mercy on my soul.
you welcome! And thank you for choosing my 666 game
That's more like it. Only.... now it sounds too bad.
We need balance!

The Glorious Nation of New Belgium will, in cooperation with the Empire of Australia, build a ship to take humanity to a new planet. The planet was chosen by New Belgium and named by Australia: as such, it shall forevermore be known as Saoirsetopia. On this new world, Saoirse.gifs will be the standard form of currency. The human race shall live, and evolve, in peace, while the Earth will smoulder and burn as its resources are consumed by the everlasting hunger of the Steamwraiths.
The EULAs of Gunslinger (Steamworks) and Origins (DRM-free) are exactly the same, word for word. (Well, the latter has a tidbit at the very end about the MS Visual C++ redist, but that's it.)
So they also have the DRM clause in the EULA, despite not requiring Uplay on Steam. Excellent, one less thing to be worried about.
Since Ubi is being cagey on the matter I think the smoking gun will be GMG's listing. In fact, I imagine that's why GMG isn't selling the game just yet.

Apparently having all six soldier boys and girls panicking in the same turn is not conducive to success in XCOM.
Who knew?!

You're probably right
. I thought it was because they were all really low level if not complete noobs so the Muton roar made them all plop their pants but hey, what do I know? I now have 0 troops and no money to recruit some more. Somehow I think I know which way this particular playthrough is going! Stallion Free

Pixeljunk Monsters?
PixelJunk Monsters, maybe? I'd wait 40 minutes for the new Weeklies before purchasing something.
Edit: Beaten.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Kingdom Rush is a good "starter" tower defense game.

Defense grid is very friendly.
He said beginners. PJM gets rage inducing due to the trial and error.
I'm not overly familiar with the game, hence the "maybe". I've actually owned it on the PS3 for years but when I did play it for a short while way back when I quickly realised tower defence wasn't really my thing.

I'm not big into Tower Defense -- but maybe Pixeljunk Monsters? I know it can be challenging if you go for the perfect clears, but I think it has co-op, so you could play with him until he gets the hang of it.
I'd prefer Steamworks too, but I don't think it's a dealbreaker if it ends up being Uplay... are you concerned because you just don't like Uplay or because of a specific reason?

Nah, I've known that this playthrough is doomed since yesterday. I'm just limping along to the bitter end for a bit of masochistic pleasure
. I'll get to see the ace 'bad ending' soon and then I can start a fresh Classic Ironman attempt. Hopefully this time I'll remember that the slightest mistake can lead to a total team wipeout and play with more care. If I can keep some vets alive long enough to level up without being badly wounded constantly then I might be able to endure the Muton hump and actually get into the game proper this time. Getting lasers and carapace aren't much good if they're all callow noobs! Right, time to get back to it for the lulz.This also gets my vote. The game is kind to explain new weapons and how upgrading, selling, etc works and the learning curve is good. It took me around 10 hours to finish the game and I believe that if you send them an email they will give you a code to add some sort of DLC Community Levels. I think you can do it in-game.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
As a person that generally dislikes the genre, I liked Defense Grid and what I've played of the Anomaly series.

I've been a bit out of the loop for the past few days - did Valve ever give any kind of statement as to why they removed achievements from the store pages?
I'm wondering if it's something they'll be adding back soon (it's a bug) or if it's permanent thing that I can fix with Enhanced Steam.

Well that all unravelled satisfyingly quickly! Apparently soldiers are needed to fight a war. Good to know.
Right soldier, no time to sit there feeling sorry for yourself. We've got a war to win!
Sir, yes sir!

where is the music stuff in the beta? I don't see it...
Games that force layered, poorly implemented DRM clients such as Uplay reduce the value of a game considerably.
I like to avoid Uplay as much as possible.

Yup, in the streaming beta. Can't wait to see how my laptop handles it.
