Defense Grid! BUY IT! It's a lot of fun, probably the best Tower Defense game out there. Certainly the best I've played. The production value and quality is worlds beyond the price.

Hmm, I resisted Torchlight before, but I don't know if I can anymore...
 
Hmmm, I'd appreciate this if it were all the previous deals instead of just select ones. Also, why isn't prey back in stock yet? It better not conveniently show back up tomorrow.

Possibly another bug?

I hope.


Can anyone help me with this? My friend's TF2 says this:
"this game is currently unavailable. please try again at another time"
and has been doing it for over a day. How do you fix this?
 
Damn, was hoping for something new, but oh well. Nice for the lazy people who haven't been following it every day I guess.

At any rate, now that there are no more daily deals, what are some deals that have been going on all this time that people should jump on? I assume others had been holding out to see what would hit daily first.
 
just shows how far out ahead steam is in terms of value when specials like these look lame...

was waiting on a sweet Fallout deal too...

I'm glad Stalker is back since i sadly passed it up because i haven't upgraded my pc yet ( or ever), but still disappointed there aren't NEW games added too. Why can't you do both Steam!

Bah, won't be getting anything anymore.

I'll wait for another holiday sale and start playing my huge backlog on steam now. :lol

I just bought Defense Grid and GTA IV, so bring on the "real deals" :D

I would probably wager money that LFD2 is a pricing error at the very least. Watch it drop to $19.99.

L4D 33$ today only? ITS BEEN LIKE THAT FOREVER COME ON NOW!!!

Actually, it was 25% off the whole sale. 8% cheaper!!!

At least my wallet is safe today. Still owe my brother about $5-6 worth of gifts for our xmas exchange, but other than that, I'm not sure if I am getting anything today. Will have to check the regular deals once more.

i kinda want GTA but it seems to be a shitty port and everything i liked about the other GTA games seems to be missing...

Alien Shooter 2
Zombie Shooter 2
Time Gentlemen, Please!

and some games from GoG like Disciples 2, Gothic 2, Fallout 2, and maybe HoMM 3
 
Well since I missed out on GTA4 and now it's back, someone is telling me I might as well buy it at £5 then not at all. Killing floor reduced again too.
 
Ugh. Really hoping for the Telltale pack and Oblivion/Fallout 3. Have them on the console so I don't want to double dip really unless there was a really good deal. Shame I have 4 of the games on the DotD.

Not with a bang but a whimper.

Open Windows Task Manager and kill hl2.exe under processes tab.

Vied for a tag related to cocks, so here it is.
May buy Stalker this time actually.. but apart from that. This is a fucking cop out. I was actually hoping they'd just take every single daily deal and stick them back on till like midnight or something like that.

Also, man, how many bloody sales has torchlight had across all the DD services?

L4D2 was $30 on Amazon last month.

Meh, I'll pass up on an expansion pack. Will buy @ the $20 price mark. I can wait.

For those of you who bought STALKER, is it worth it?
