You can get Morrowind for $7.50 in a roundabout way. Chesskid has a gift copy of Morrowind and wants Alice.
nah, its current minimum is more than my Steam's maximum.
Whenever Nuclear Dawn gets it added the min will be $3 and will rise from there or go back to $3 depending on how many pay min or over.
Well, I've got games that either everybody has (thru indie bundles) or was going to give away anyways. Getting some coal in return is fine by me.
Actively trading stuff as to amount big piles of coal for a slim chance of getting one of the good games is a bit dumb I agree, but that's what gamblers do.

Think of it like Skyrim, but with a story, characters, original setting and a fun combat system (VATS).
the problem is games keep coming out.
all I jumped on was Dungeons of Dredmor & EYE (total spent: $4.36)
just waiting on Rock of Ages to be a daily, and I'm done
Those things don't matter at all yeah, it's great.
I'll mull it over today, but I might do it. I'd love to have a Spec Ops partner, I see they've fleshed it out a lot compared to MW2. I've been pretty impressed by the campaign as well, although my expectations were low.
Except for the fact that games which come out after Jan 2 are specifically excluded for coupon use.
Not sure if I should get the X superbox or just one or two of the games inside it. Is there any point to getting the older games?
Edit: Wow, there are a lot of different packs. So I guess it's between War Pack (which includes Albion), GoldBox, and SuperBox.

You can get Spec Ops to work? It was laggy as hell when I tried with my friend. Both of our NAT's say OPEN and Multiplayer works fine.
Also, is there a mw3 GAF clan or something? It's hard to find people to play with regularly.
Buying!
Properly
I played New Vegas with kb/m, and it worked perfectly fine. With VATS and everything, precise mouse aiming isn't very important, but it's nice to have the quick keys for switching weapons and using items on the fly. I prefer it over pad controls.
Anyone vouch for the X games? Is it worth the $9.99 for the superbox if I'm really only into story driven games?

The X games are fucking awesome if you have the patience to stick around and learn how to play...
Watch some tutorial youtube vids first to learn.

Got a coupon I actually want. 33% off Paradox games! Granted I don't know how much there will be left I don't own after this sale.
If I buy a game as a gift on Steam, can I later unpack it for myself? I have Skyrim on my christmas list and I got late presents coming my way. I'm thinking of nabbing Skyrim on sale, waiting to see if I get it as an Xmas gift, and if I do I'll just gift it to someone else.

So I decided to pick up Jamestown at $2.50 and this is easily the best $2.50 I've spent on steam all year. Absolutely loving it so far. This is my first shmup type game and I am hooked. Once I finish this I'm going to try to find a few more. The soundtrack is amazing as well. Finished the first 3 levels and then gifted a copy to a friend. If you are on the fence for it, give it a go. It'll be gone in 2 hours.
Also picked up Hard Reset and I'm looking forward to playing that as well.

My man.
I haven't even finished installing it, actually!
I probably won't even finish today at these speeds either. Heh.

I'll endorse this. Jamestown is great, best holyday deal by far. You can also get it buying the humble bundle #4.
Fuck it, bought. Never thought I'd end up double dipping on this game, I thought I was over the series a few entries ago, but I'm having a lot of fun with the console version. It's "playable" on PS3 but I just beat MW2 on PC and the horrible image quality is jarring. If I'm gonna invest time in the game, I'd rather pay extra to have a version that doesn't look like dogshit.
D/L speeds are super slow right now.

Aww shit yeah.
I'm pumped to play. Sometime in the middle of January, at this rate, but you know, pumped all the same.
I'll endorse the endorsement.
Amen. This is good too hear. I was worried it was a console game first, PC game second.
I'm actually pretty curious about this. At $2.50, I would blind buy it, but with how much I have spent already during this sale, I need a little prodding for $5. Is it good?
Probably not if you're only looking for story. You'll likely be disappointed.
