I added the Steam folder as an exception. I'll just try outright disabling it and see what happens.
EDIT: That did the trick. I wonder why the exception didn't work. Anyways, thanks a ton.

Did you miss Armored Princess for $10? King's Bounty Gold is the original game + Armored Princess. If you only need the original game, it is on sale at Gamersgate for $7.77

Personally, I would like to get Risen for $25 or less. If not in this sale, then in next year's sale.

Bought the following:
Broken Sword Twin Pack
Morrowind GOTY
Medieval II: Total War - Kingdoms
The Dig
I already have Loom, some copies of Indiana Jones & The Fate of Atlantis, and didn´t want The Last Crusade, so I skipped the Adventure Pack.
Its gonna be fun to see if the Kingdoms expansion pack will be cheaper tomorrow, but since they didn´t put it on sale along with Medieval II yesterday I doubt it. And 12,5 is still a ridicously good price for such a great game.

I'm surprised MW2 nor COD4 have been part of this sale. I mean you would think that at the very least COD4 would be offered at a discount...

I'm in the same boat as you. I will probably pick it up tomorrow regardless if it's on sale or not.

Thankfully I picked up a ton of cheap games I've wanted for years so I'm not even worrying about next year. I'm unistalling Steam from early December until January next year.

So far my experience with Steam has consisted entirely of buying things on sale for $10 or less. Knowing that they do sales like this I don't know why I would ever buy when something isn't on sale. :lol
Oblivion might be on sale tomorrow on its own, but it won't be the pack. Valve isn't going to do a back to back sale like that. Besides, Oblivion is well... terrible, even with mods. I honestly can't understand how people can enjoy something so generic and unchallenging.ktulu said:

Its pretty lame that Broken Sword II doesn´t contain the cutscenes. Instead you get message that you should download them from scummvm.org. If they are free, why not include them in the steam download? And free or not, I thought I paid for the full game.
Only thing I spent more than 10$ on was the THQ Pack. Which I regret since I don't think I'm ever getting to all the games. :lolcharlequin said:
I'll be trying something similar except it has to be a 5$ or below for single game, or 10$ and below for packs. I've already acquired one hell of a Steam backlog and my goal in 2010 is not to add too it...except I dipped on Trine since I've been calling it the entire time :lol
Waiting for Trine finally paid off! I got that and Morrowind. Does anyone have a small list of essential Morrowind mods? Mostly looking for mods that improve the graphics and update them as much as possible. This

appears to be a good starting point.

So can anyone clarify whether or not the script/graphic extenders work for the Steam version of Morrowind? If not, then the Steam version is pretty much worthless.

Same thing here. And I still did not play it...
Relix said:I am playing Crysis and the stuttering is just making me mad. Can't play the game at all! This is the CPU usage:
The first half is in-game. See those spikes? I am more than fine with the game dropping to 15-20FPS every once in a while since normally it runs at 30, but when I for example zoom, the game stutters and then proceeds. It has come to the point that sometimes the game halts completely, CPU and GPU usage drop to 0% and the game automatically pauses when it starts working again. Making me so pissed off.
What does your system look like? When my computer does that in Crysis Warhead, the hard drive is spinning trying to catch up to the rest of the system, since it is old and slow.
id be all over it but only red alert 3 appears on the uk storeVolcynika said:Are both Kane's Wrath and Tiberium Wars worth it? If I only get one, I'm trying to decide which one not to get.
Also people as usual "baw the deals suck" They're pretty good, I think!
Also I pointed out how all C&C was 66% many posts ago and people still don't notice

Missing some big ones I think. Here's a better list to browse through, but there's probably still better out there.
Some notable things that pack was missing:
Morrowind FPS Optimizer
GIANTS Ultimate
Adventurers
Those three alone no one should skip, there's a good dozen others as well, but I'm having trouble recalling them now, and can't locate my saved mods atm.
