According to Enhanced Steam, it was $3.74 on December 19, 2013
It won't get cheaper than 50% for a long , long, long time.

It was -75% multiple times (on different sites)
There was a short price mistake of the CS collection being -83% though, making the collection cheaper than standalone GO

I voted for Warlock 2... it's the only game in there I'd actually give a solid try to. I already have Brothers in my backlog, and don't like platformers. I know W2 didn't review well, but it's in a genre I love.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Cheaters tend to hoard backup spare. -- CS:GO being Valve's first region-locked game is no coincidence. It'll be a long time before you see the game cheaper, third-party stores aside.
Yeah, it's a remaster of sorts. Has a few improvements from when it released back in 1997. Looking at it's Wikipedia page, seems it won some award and there might be a film adaptation(?). I was mostly interested in it because I like mystery adventure games, and the setting reminded me of a TV show that used the Orient Express as it's setting for one episode.

Not only cheaters, but also pretty much everyone invested in the game because of
'Cause baby you're a firework, come on, show 'em what you're smurf.
huh i don't get it
are u saying valve region locked it cos people were buying two copies so they could cheat and still play?
that sounds like an awesome case of punishing everyone else but the offender if true
Let me beat you 5 times and you beat me 5 times. LOL
You should try and watch Murder on the Orient Express(1974) if you like TLE. Sean Connery is in that film.
Edit: Voted for Super Time Force Ultra. Looks pretty snazzy.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons --MB-3D6B042B9C5726F2- Taken by redlacs. 6 entrants total.
maybe lol
despite finishing it a bunch of times i'm really bad at abbie oddie so i prolly wouldn't have to "let you win"
The way VAC works is that it bans in waves -- every few months or so, Valve's database of known cheats is swept across the land and those found to have run afoul are shown the metaphorical door. The downside to this is that the day-to-day administration is left to server admins; the upside is that several hacks are banned in one fell swoop, leaving cheat creators running around like headless chickens for a while as they come up with something new.
Previously, while the game was region-free, people would amass spares from cheaper regions so they could essentially cheat with impunity, but now that the game is ACRTAG-locked (and to reiterate, this was done before Valve's last-ditch effort to preserve RUB support,, and again pre-existing gifts were not affected), this is far less a feasible solution -- suddenly, many cheaters have gone from paying $2 and some change per copy to paying $7.50 at best.
The system isn't perfect (why in the world does South America as a whole suffer when Brazil is the only country with local currency support?), but CS:GO being region-locked was for a good cause.
Don't worry, it'll be gone soon.
Oh, yeah, I've seen parts of that, though I prefer the remake. David Suchet will always be Hercule Poirot to me.
weird
can't valve just track down cheaters and murder them? i mean they have the money for it and let's be real here, cheaters brought it on themselves
also yea system fucking us up not-brazilians pretty hard lol
Don't worry, it'll be gone soon.
awww but i like your new saoirse
it's creepy like i always mean my avatars to be which apparently i never accomplish -__-
lol it took me like 30 tries to actually kill them both reliably without a shield
ended up just running past them cos wasn't that reliable anyways lol
I dunno, man. That chocolate pudding you're standing in looks totally realistic to me.

Shit.
Well... I've had a great, fun christmas eve, followed by a christmas party with most of my family today.
Now the guests have gone and I'm left here feeling awful and lonely. Depression and anxiety is harsh shit, and it's really hard to deal with, especially when you've just had a great few days full of joy and laughs.
It really doesn't help that my grandmother and her sister have both been diagnosed with cancer, and we've no idea if this was their last christmas... But I suppose Doctor Who's advice 'treat every christmas like it's your last' is good advice.
Oh and sorry to be a downer and all, but merry christmas lads, hope you've had a good one, been with your loved ones, enjoyed their company and shown them how much you appreciate them.
Anyway, to be somewhat on-topic; Banished looks so good! Abyss Odyssey looks slick as heck, Anno 2070 looks nice (what's the general word, is it any good, and is complete edition worth getting?) and Lords of the Fallen looks like something I'd love. Lots of great games, not enough monies. I think this has been a proper good sale, and I'd have taken more advantage of that fact if I'd just had the money.
And happy new year to all you lovely folks! Hope it brings about new, better tidings

I think many were disappointed by it at launch but I haven't heard much about it.

Grats, she was my first dead end in the game and the run through the swamp to get to her almost killed my will to continue. For those serpent guys try luring them out through the middle, they should trigger their own trap and if you're lucky one of them will die.
Just finished a short session of Lords of the Fallen, I'm feeling a bit dizzy now from all the circle strafing. It's a nice game though, enjoying the style as a contrast to Dark Souls.

Was lifting some stuff today and ended up with almost half the fingernail on my thumb ripped off. I used a bandaid to hold the nail on since I don't want to rip it completely off. Didn't expect so much blood. Now off to lunch.

EA's servers are having serious issues too. Battlefield is dead and ME3 refused to load a save because the server couldn't authenticate my DLC (which is pretty bad in itself).

Ah, I heard A secret world is actually pretty good.
Just finished Mordor. It was very entertaining, albeit I would love to see the Nemesis system to evolve. It would be nice to actually have visible turf wars with aligned territory and regular raids and the Dark Lord actually fighting back. Maybe orcs realizing that they are taking and trying to seed out traitors.

Been playing Trails in the Sky. It's really enjoyable but for two things: one, the camera likes to change on you so if you're in an area without a minimap it's very easy to double back on yourself; and two, FUCKING MISSABLES! I just discovered I was missing a point from a quest, only to discover it was from one of the very first quests (and I don't have a save file from the very beginning of the game, because why?) Also one of the achievements says "purchase and read all the chapters of this book" but only two are buyable. The rest have to be given to you in missable dialogues. Sigh.
forget about the achievements, they're fucking torture to get
like only way to get them is having like massive you-need-to-be-on-heavy-medications ocd or be clarivoyant
A vote for STFU is a vote for freedom.
Beat 4 Kings today. Next up, Lost Izalith. And after that Seath. And then I should probably do the the DLC.

Here here. Stranger I Remain is the best song from the soundtrack full of great songs.
What?
It is. Although I wish they would remake it into a single player game. Some mmo aspects are taking my immersion. First and furthermost other players. It's not scary if half a dozen guys run slaughter themselves through everything that's moving around you.
But the skill wheel is insanely cool, the fact that there are not predesignated classes, you can freely choose what skills and weapons you use, stats come from talismans, visible clothes are only extra and the writing is wonderful.
for trading, you can totally gift them still
