Is something wrong with the Age of Mythology Remaster? I saw that it's a daily, went to the page and was shocked by the low MC score (66).

Morning everyone, hope y'all doing fine. While Age of Mythology do not get a bit lower I decided to play another Story mission on AoE 2 HD and it took me at least 3 hours, phew! Getting close to 80 hours of play time and plenty of more to do. 
Also, here's something to warm you heart:

Nice giveaway really nice of you.
When I get home I have like 4 or 5 games I need to give away. This just motivates me to get off my rear and do so

That toilet will compliment my tsundere sharks folder.
I have the same problem.
The last game I played was on October 27th.
And that doesn't even count because it isn't a game. It's a screensaver game I was explicitly running while studying.
Looking at the game before that, truly the last time I gamed was October 20th. (I rebought BFBC2 on Steam to get into it again. It has still a large population, at least in Europe.)

Now, I have to say: at the moment is a rare situation considering I have my master's thesis. And now exams coming up in January.
But it's normal for me to go about 2-3 weeks without gaming.
---
But what do I do every time when I stop reading news due to time constraints and have time again?
When I have time again to read up on all the news, I reevaluate every site I visit daily.
Beginning 2014 I unsubbed of a lot of RSS feeds and Youtube channels. It definitely helped.
edit: I also stopped reading Reddit completely.
Now my daily routine consists of these things:
1) Reading RSS feeds via Feedly.
I really shrinked that down about a year ago. I was getting about 15 new entries a day I would think.
Now it's about 5 a day max and most of times a day doesn't bring anything.
I use it for websites that don't post daily, like the Dropbox blog or Rockstar Newswire.
2) Checking Youtube subscriptions.
Now, I dramatically toned down my subscriptions already.
But it seems the ones I'm subscribed to have been uploading more frequently since I don't feel I can conquer it lol.
(Note: I don't watch TV anymore. Both the national and international news I follow via the internet.)
Now I stopped watching YT subs for a while lately, but as you see in the upper right corner, the amount of sub messages is high.
I don't watch everything that arrives though.
Some channels I unsubbed from but I still keep getting emails. And sometimes I get duplicate messages.
And yeah, I picked a screen of a channel that is pure nonsense.
I think the fake gaming montages with illuminati, MLG, doritos, LMAO KEK, ... are hilarious and I can't stop watching.
Don't judge me. But the YT watching is a time sink, I admit.
Yet I like it. It's my substitute for entertainment TV.
3) Checking normal email. Luckily that's quickly sorted most days.
4) Checking my list of daily websites.
(The last 2 links are temporary because the Sony hack is interesting enough to follow thorough.)
---
I've been thinking about scratching the above completely.
But I feel I can't. I want to know the general trends regarding gaming and tech news.
---
What I DID stop doing: commenting everywhere I feel the need.
Now this post is a major exception but in the past I would be commenting everywhere I can.
Even in the famous Youtube comment section filled with low IQ content and trolls.
Now the only time I still comment is here on SteamGAF™, and mostly short posts.
The thing is: I feel quite entertained by reading news and watching YT.
I don't feel the need to get X hours of gaming a week.
But on the other hand, when I check my backlog, I want to get done with it eventually.
Just first world problems things...

Did left 4 dead 3 get announced today? Saw someone at work watching a trailer for it, looked a bit fakey/ modded source engine.
You think the next Valve game would be announced without the internet going crazy? Gaffers would go on riot, reddit would be on tilt, Blizzard would be trying to one-up that game with a copy of their own.
The world as we know it would change!
tl;dr I just want HL3 to come the fcuk out now!

I install DOTA 2 so I can redeem some promotional item code to sell on the marketplace and as soon as I boot it up I am inundated with friend requests from multiple DOTA weirdos.
Also, the fat man with the valve on his head turned and looked at me.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Not necessarily Steam releated since not everything there redeems on Steam. I just got Crysis 3 for Origin for $4 for instance.
You can check out Cheapshark for a list of game deals at Amazon.
Isthereanydeal.com also lets you filter by Amazon.

Russian ruble is btw still climbing. From 100rub = 1,1€ to now almost 1,50€.
Not here.
Not here.
They are still available here.
How long before Russia switches to yuan, I wonder...
I'm shocked. Shocked!
Oh, neat.
I'm not big on Musou games, but I might give this a shot.
What are the odds of it being a good port?
Italian here, guess it's a regional thing. I just checked again and they're not on the store...
EDIT: Am I right in thinking that even if I bought a key elsewhere I wouldn't be able to activate it?

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
I experienced a strange phenemenon the last couple of weeks. Sometimes, some games would get really choppy, even though the framerate looked solid when checked with a program like RivaTuner
I finally found the culprit: fucking Punkbuster.
Thanks Ubisoft! (Far Cry 3 in this case)

I'd go as far as 'probably'.

Italy? Are you sure you're looking hard enough? I can't find anything about them not being available there, Amazon.it sells them and I see the games when going through http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=it

You would be able to activate it without issues.

You'd be truly shocked when those came back as paid DLCs.
You should ask corrosive that. He loves telling people if stuff is worth it.
Good! Good!
Japanese invasion of Steam continues.
Great news, thank you!
BTW I googled the fact and apparently they've been pulled from the italian store in 2010...
And I like it.
