Play it dude it's so good. Some people hate it some love it, nothing in the middle. Top 5 game of the year for me.
Funny thing is, all these indie games I'm being reminded that I actually own. I've bought tons of them in Humble Bundles then never actually played them.

Quick question. I own X3TC and the Albion expansion and I want to have an American gift me these games so that I can gift them to my friend on Steam to take advantage of the cheaper US prices, as they are very expensive here in the UK.
Is that possible?

I just got back from Christmas festivities hoping to buy Portal 2 for cheap during the daily recap and... Iguessthat'sthat.jpg
Seriously, I didn't buy it on monday because I wanted to see if by any chance I found a golden Valve coupon (which I did)... I sure hope at least the last day of sales is a recap. I didn't buy Mass Effect either following the same reasoning ;_;
And now, I'll try to get the Atom Zombie Smasher cheevo... Sorry, GAF, but words can't describe how much I hate that game. It's just not for me, I played a couple of maps but didn't see anything fun about it. Oh well, I'd do anything for a coal or a 50% off coupon for a Humble Bundle game!

Is there someone from the US that could gift me Alice Madness Returns right now?
I'll paypal in advance.

Wrong. Almost everything is 50% off on origin at the moment (if something isn't marked down in price use the 'ADVENT' coupon and it gives you 50% off, apparently). Already bought BF3 for 25.
Yes. You can put gifts you receive in your inventory

It's 199 SEK (~€22) in Sweden, and today their daily deal is 50% off almost anything. I thought they had it like that all over Europe. :/
Not that it would be much cheaper in the end anyway.
Btw, Dead Space 2 was like €5 last week on Origin. I doubt we will see it that low on Steam.
Even with the 50% off coupon, Alice is still twice as expensive on Origin in my country as the current EU Steam deal, which is about twice as expensive as the US price apparently (as usual).
Do you have Humble Indie Bundle 4? It has Super Meat Boy and Bit Trip Runner, two must owns for lower end machines.
Braid, Audiosurf, Eversion, Limbo, Plants Vs Zombies, and Worms Reloaded too, all great, all low end-ish.

It's easy dude, just set up a solo short game on beginner. I recommend London for the map
Hadn't thought of that at all, will check now! Don't you guys have the EA Advent thing?
Edit : doesn't seem to work.

Seconding the Humble Bundle #4 rec. Definitely go for Cave Story+ and Gratituous Space Battles too. Also these:
Aquaria
Machinarium
Sequence (you know, Feep's game you can get for free as a GAFer?)
LIMBO
VVVVVV
Braid
SpaceChem
Plants vs Zombies
The Binding of Isaac
Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes
Of course it'd help if we knew what runs on your PC.

How much is Alice + Fallout 3 on the US store?
OP needs to update with actual prices than discounts :\

That's a bitch, happened to me on the first day when they accidentally reduced Dead Island by 90% (or something). Good job I checked the paypal form.
P.s. Even at that price the game is well worth it. Obviously you can get it cheaper elsewhere.
$12.48 for regular F3 ($7.49 for Alice, $4.99 for F3), $14.98 for GOTY ($7.49 for Alice, $7.49 for F3 GOTY)

Is "X3: Albion Prelude" anything like the jump from regular X3 to Terran Conflict?

I have this to trade if anybody is interested?
X3: Gold. Includes 2 items: X3: Reunion, X3: Terran Conflict
Never played them myself.

This is what I own already.

I'm sorry, yeah I should have specified this. Also, I have most of the 2D games.
It'd be easier if I just told you what my PC is rather than what it runs, because telling you what it runs would imply that I have a discrete graphics card, which I do not.
I have a Pavillion G7 with an i3 2330 Core running Intel HD 3000

This is the machine. As for what it runs, I can run many popular 3D games from the last few years on medium or low settings. However, this is somewhat undesirable depending on the game. I get framerates ranging from 20-30 FPS with tweaking, and rarely hit 60.
I can run older games like Psychonauts or non-graphics intensive games like Orcs Must Die. Oblivion runs pretty well with maxed out settings.
Basically, depending on the game, this laptop can either appear surprisingly decent or pathetically weak.
I just don't want to miss out on games that it can run really well. And I certainly don't want to settle for games which have to look crappy just so I can run them.

Public notice: if you haven't played Arkham Asylum and didn't pick up the game yet, you are a horrible person.
I did that once on xbox live. With avatar props. I accidentally paid for avatar props, and I still live with the shame.

Someone sell me on X3. I played EVE, found it interesting but not very engaging. Wanted to like Darkstar but put it aside for whatever reason.

At $5, you'd be batty not to pick it up!

Alice is a trap. A rather pretty one at times, but a trap nonetheless. You will be ready for it to end about 4 hours before it actually does.
