Hooray! HUZZAH!!

Now to wait for the discounts to be applied...


Edit: Going to shake my fist at Steam, Gabe, and the sky above if the DLCs are not discounted... hopefully Steam is up long enough for me to check.

There's still the 50% off DLC at the Bundlestore if nothing else.

Only the Customisation Pack and below, apparently, as well as the DLC collection.

Edit: The two Turkish packs are also full price.

Unfortunately , sons of Abraham and newer are still full price.

Yep, no discount on Sons of Abraham. Same on Bundlestars. Same on GMG. Goddamn them all to hell. :(

I'll keep it in mind, however it won't help me spend my card money. 75% off is also the sweet spot for buying the cosmetic DLCs. Gotta justify such silly purchases somehow. :)

Meanwhile, Steam continues to spasm on the ground instead of updating the prices for the sale. :shakesfist:

Jill’s grandparents are deep in debt and the dastardly Cliff Gold is eager to foreclose on their home. Her only chance to raise the money they need to pay him off is to win the gardening contest.

$9.99.

Edit: If there's a silver lining with the server issues it's that card drop times have dropped dramatically. I've received three Iron Soul drops in just over half an hour.

Has anyone tried out Betrayer yet? I'm a sucker for interesting horror games that do their best to stand out in the sea of Resident Evil or Amnesia like titles, and I do have a soft spot historically for 1600s New England colonies, but I'm always hesitant as action horror titles are the easiest type to disappoint me.

So any thoughts you have if you've played this game would be greatly appreciated.
 
Uh guys...
What happened to Steam?

Something really bad. The store's half-loaded and the prices there differ from what's on the store pages. i.e. CK2 is 75% off on the front page, but there's no discount on the store page for me. FUBAR!

Valve has to make some sort of statement about what the fuck is going on with Steam because this downtime is getting absolutely bonkers.

Is the Crusader Kings II Collection worth $19.99? I'm a sucker for strategy games like this.

If you like grand strategy games at all, you cannot go wrong by purchasing CK2.

Burial at Sea 2 awyeah. Looking forward to play with my waifu Elizabeth when I get home after work.
 
man Steam being down and buggy these past weeks was charming and silly at first. but the whole front page being blank is somehow lamer than the site not loading at all.

Yeah... now that I actually want to use it this downtime has become increasingly annoying. It would oddly be more preferable if the page didn't load at all.

Steam Announcements & Updates 2014 IV - Steam Offline Simulator 2014 Just Released/On Sale!

And funnily enough, Steam Offline Simulator = SOS, which is what I imagine the servers have been broadcasting for a number of days now. :p

In non-Steam-is-down news, I've finished I/O. 41 hours, 100% completion.

Someone in the VN thread summarized the game as "basically what if Kojima wrote Evangelion and mixed in some Parasite Eve", and hot damn if that isn't true. The actual concepts being thrown about are amazing, execution is somewhat broken though.

If you're into VNs, and want to read something about introns, recursive realities, inverted arrow of time, collective unconsciousness and quantum superposition, and how they relate to standard VN gameplay mechanics, have a go.

Steam Announcements & Updates 2014 IV - I'm sorry, Gabe. I'm afraid I can't do that.

So I have these 2 TF2 items sitting in my inventory, Frying Pan and Ellis' Cap. Since I don't play the game, I'll try to sell them at tf2outpost (never used the site before). Any clue on how many keys should I ask for them?

JaseC's next purchase?



Lol

Haha, unfortunately at this juncture of my life if I spent big on hardware I wouldn't have any money to spend on Steam. ;) I currently have two 2GB 670s, which I intend to replace with two 4GB* 870s in time for The Witcher 3, assuming acceptable performance gains.

* I'm hoping the 870 will be 4GB by default.

Backpack.tf says 10.5-11 keys for the frying pan -- I'd try for 11 and then go down to 10 if necessary (unless you have a few ref sitting in your inventory there's no point in bothering with a fractional price). Ellis' cap, on the other hand, is virtually worthless.

Edit: Bah, not again.

I'll have to think about it. Still a few days left on the deal, at least.

I'd say Old Gods is essential, it allows you to start 200 years earlier, pretty fun to play as the pagans and go around fucking shit up. I think you can get CK2 with the good DLC for $20, though it's probably best to just get the $20 pack + Old Gods.

Bought.

Looking at Shadow Warrior too. Really enjoyed Hard Reset but I might just wait for it.

Shadow Warrior is fantastic.
