oh oh

I shouldn´t have tried the demo.... PvZ is really, really addictive. It was one of the fastest hours I had in the recent times.

I had to buy it.

Man that THQ pack is killer. Shame I own half those games or I would be all over it.

Or if I could gift the games I own I would hop on.

Only reason I want that THQ pack is because for £25 I get 3 GFWL titles :lol yeah I like my Live achievements, but damn it is a sweet pack, enough to keep me game happy for a good half a year there.

I think if you own it and buy a pack you get a spare copy, might be worth reading up on it.

Far Cry 2, Osmos and GRID for 20€, just couldn't resist.
Now seeing Batman and DA:O being 40€ if I can get anyone from the US to gift them... I HATE YOU VALVE.

So... looking for an US member who might be willing to help and accepts Paypal as payment method :p

Any US-member interested in gifting Batman and Far Cry 2 in change for a Shattered Horizon-guest pass?

Shoot me a PM!

EDIT: It has been figured out.

Does Farcry 2 run well on ATI 4870 based cards? Very tempted to get it, but looking for an excuse not to.....

I have a 4870 512mb and Far Cry 2 runs excellently on it. DX10 mode actually has a better framerate than DX9 mode in this game.

You realise the SH guest passes are only for a few weeks at most right?
Click to expand...

Oh, sorry! Of course I meant the guest pass would figure as a thank you to the gifter, not as a payment. Or did you mean the guest pass wouldn't be sufficient as a thank you?

It has already been figured out though.

Fuck this year. I've bought so fucking many games, and it looks like Steam will make me double that number before New Year's Eve.

I need a lock on my wallet.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. It's too bad they don't prorate previous purchases. There's quite a few packs I've passed on due to the double dipping required.

I got incredibly lucky. Sent an email to Steam support asking if I could get a refund for Dragon-Age so that I could pick up the deluxe version. Yesterday. Today I get the refund, and the deluxe for less than I initially paid.

Any kind soul? I'll add a bit something for your trouble, since it's saving me around 25€ by getting it on the US Store.

I'm having a little problem. Looks like the FFXI mega collection cannot be purchased in Europe (no price for it nor buy button). It's supposed to be $20 so I'd be grateful if anybody from the states could buy it for me. I can paypal the money in advance.

Nevermind: I think USA version is designed not to work on Europe and vice versa, and I refuse to pay 40€ (three times as much) for an Euro version.

Ended up buying Plants vs. Zombies and Batman.

I shudder to think what cruel and unusual punishment Valve will be pulling from their sack of horrors in the following days.

I feel like I should be in rehab for this shit. :lol

Do you like, work for Valve or something? I have seen you talk about some friend or other connected to Steam who can leak info to you, but your enthusiasm seems otherwise unwarranted. Though, on the other hand, your actions are still far less rambunctious than the average console fanboy, so perhaps you are just a 'Steam' fanboy?

PC fanboys are a lot more evolved than their console bothers...

To be fair, it's hard not to be with the sales they put on.

That part is like an abusive relationship. We just keep opening our wallets, letting Steam suck our monies dry while telling everyone else, "He means well! Honest!" :D

Don't work for Valve but prefer Steam for my PC gaming. I am addicted to thei sales like many others. If that makes me a Steam fanboy then so be it.

I find myself equally addicted; do not concern yourself with my comments, they were half meant in jest, and the other half was just simple curiosity.
