I like how everyone focused on getting Mass Effect, seems most forgot about the Fallout 3 GOTY price flub :lol

Wonder if that'll show up (I don't want it, but someone probably does!)

I've been waiting on it and The Witcher, since I'll want to play them eventually and I was wondering if they'd go lower.

I'll buy them both on Sunday if there isn't a daily deal for them tomorrow.

SO tempted to buy Sam & Max Complete despite having the first season, and not yet having finished it :( I guess there's no way to get a discount for owning the first season, do I get two copies then, and guess I can gift s1 to someone?

Stupid holiday sale really... Buying Mass Effect for sure at least... Portal & Trials 2 I already own, but tempted to buy as a gift, argh.

I also have three guest passes for Shattered Horizon.

PM me your Steam ID. Also, I only have one friend on Steam. So...in exchange for a guest pass, you'll be on my friends list. :p

Only Orange Box allows you to gift extra copies. :(

Might be able to contact Steam support and get it exchanged.

I didn't think Steam allowed you to gift a copy of something that somebody already has? Or was it because they were gifted at almost the same time?

Dang I wish I could have a free copy of Mass Effect...

It's only single player, and I'm not really a sucker for RPGs.

I'm more of a first person shooter, which is why I dig the Xbox 360 controller + games for it.
 
Yesterday I finally bought Crysis since at $13 that's cheaper then Warhead at retail. I just wanted to finally try it on my school computer. I can run it at almost high settings on a decent res and fps. I like it but not I want to kick myself for not getting Stalker. I hope the last day Team Fortress is cheap.

There is not even the slightest bit of support for 360 controllers in Mass Effect PC.

I really feel that, for now, I've wasted my money buying the Crysis games. I've had nothing but headaches trying to get either of these games to run properly on my Windows 7 machine. At least I'm able to actually change settings around in Warhead without the game completely locking up on me, but my cursor won't line up properly at all in the menu in either game.

I was going to get DMC4, before deciding I'd rather play it on a console. Which means that since I'm not giving anything to Steam today, I kinda feel in a giving mood. So I'm up for giving away a copy of ME and Portal. (yes, only one copy of each... I wouldn't mind being made out of money, but I'm not... =P)

Just PM me with your e-mail, and which one you'd rather have. ^_^

First one will get a copy of Trials too, if you want it.

Hopin' that 2010 will be a better year than 2009!

Edit: That was fast, copy of ME is away. (Does anyone know what the code is to do strikethrough?)

Edit: Copy of portal away. Have a good new year everybody. ^_^

Thats strange. I've got Windows 7 and they both work fine.

Is there a reason as to why Baldurs Gate 2, planescape torment and grim fandango arent on steam?

It's probably too much to expect Interplay and Wizards of the Coast to get together to put old games on Steam.

Hell, Atari can't even get NWN2 on Steam.

I have a spare HL2 ep1 if you want it.
No thanks, Already got it. But thank you very much. I was being a bit sarcastic...well I not really since I'm cheap and I love free games!

Do ya want a copy of ME?
This is so a trick question :lol

Hopefully you all wanting Fallout 3 GOTY get it tomorrow for like 19.99. Steam sales obviously bring out the best in Gaf.

So for anyone who has played Trials HD, how does Trial 2 stack up?
Someone mentioned Trials HD being like a Trials 3. Not sure what the difference is, but I'm thinking of buying Trials HD. I have Trials 2 in the cart and am deciding whether I should get it or not. :lol

Quick Steam question. I just built new PC with windows 7. I want to transfer some of my saves (mostly Plants VS Zombies) from my old XP machine. Any tips?

Plants vs. Zombies is special and stores your save data somewhere weird (C:\programdata\Steam\PlantsVsZombies I think?). If you copy that directory that MIGHT be good enough. Other games store data in their own random locations...might be the Steam common directory, might be ProgramData, might be Documents, depends on the game, unfortunately.

If it's the Steam version on XP then it should be

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\plants vs zombies\userdata

I got the answer from here.

Why does Mass Effect not let me select 1680x1050 resolution? It only offers 1280x800 and 1280x960 as the highest offerings.

Yep I found that. But now where do I put the file so it works on Windows 7?

Alright, I've given away a copy of ME and a copy of Portal, but neither wanted the copy of Trials 2, so I guess I'm throwing that out here now, if anybody wants it.

Probably. Unless you have 32-bit, then the same folder will do.

I can vouch for Trials HD, digital crack and add the expansion for the best $15 I've spent in years
