Do it mang. It's freakin' Christmas! And if you actually want to play it what have you got to lose? It certainly isn't going to be significantly cheaper anytime soon, unless you go the retail route.

In the spirit of the holidays and out of guilt for my extraordinary lurk/post ratio, I'm giving away 3 copies of Renegade Ops. First 3 quotes get em. If you want to kick any spare coal or swag my way I wont complain but it's not expected. Wishing y'all non-denominational holiday fun.

Jeeeeeesus fucking Christ. So far have bought Just Cause 2, Portal 2, Rift, Borderlands, Prototype, Fallout 3, Alice, and Killing Floor.

The best part?
I don't even have a PC that can run these games yet

That's how they get you until you build a new PC anyway.

It took me the majority of the morning to justify purchasing Skyrim, but it is so nice to finally own it. I've watched my friend play it for hours.

Also, MW3 is already in the number 2 slot? God damn, the discount isn't even that good.

That's a great deal for Alice Madness Returns. I'd get it if I hadn't bought it already. Such a good game with a totally unique setting and art style compared to other games. It's a must-buy at that price, buy it!

E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy
Hard Reset (in love with this one and it was only €4,50)
RAGE (only 2 hours in)

And I got Dead Island for free by trading some coal and my Portal 2 gift.

I'm tryingnot to buy all these daily sales, but I must admit, it's hard :p

My recap so far, I'll include stuff from other sites, but I use on Steam.

Played.
Portal 2: On chapter 5 or 6 now. I like Portal 1 better, but this has been pretty fun so far.
Deus Ex Missing Link: Its more of my GOTY and the level design feels even better.
Swords and Soldiers HD: I kind of picked this up for the cheevo since I had a slight interest in it for a while. Most played game yet. Its RTS for people like me who suck at controlling units.
Saints Row III: Saints are back. Driving is all sorts of fuck, but completely awesome. Forcing people to eject through their windshield.
Rusty Hearts: The cheevo finally gave me the reason to play it, and its been really fun. Its a 2.5D brawler and I can use the controller for it.

Only a few minutes
EYE: I don't quite know what to think about this title. It is janky, but the RPG elements captivated me a bit. I liked blocking bullets with my sword and dicing fools with guns.
Hard Reset: Upgraded computer made all the difference for me. Its definitely a Serious Sam like title.

Haven't touched
Dead Island: Jumped on it from Amazon yesterday. I've been in the buying and gifting mood.
AVP: Once again, Amazon. I'm a fanboy of the franchises and while I heard its a meh title. Its great for fans.

Gifted by Wiflare
Psychonauts: Never played a Schafer game outside the demo for Brutal Legends. I loved the charm in it, but the gameplay complaints made me run away and I never gave it a chance. This shall be my first full step into his world.

It will be Indie bundle anyways. I'd wait on it and get 2 or 3 games more with it for the same price.

I bought the X pack out of curiosity but I have no idea where to begin with. I have X3 Terran Conflict, X3 Reunion, and X3 Albion Prelude. I'm currently downloading all three of them. What's the difference between these three? Where should I begin?
