Yeah, but if they end on the first, the sales lapse at 4pm on the 2nd if they follow the pattern.

"Entries are open from 10:00 am Pacific Standard Time on December 19, 2011, to 10:00 am Pacific Standard Time on January 2, 2012 (the Holiday Sale Period)."
Sunday is the last day.

I'm thinking of getting Magic the Gathering, but I've never played magic before, I would be a total noob, is there a good tutorial in the game that will teach me the basics? Also would this be worth it for someone who isn't competitive online and hates win/loss records, I'd probably only play vs the computer, also I hate these kind of games because every year the next version "GOTY" or "2013" will be the one to buy making this one useless, I might not even get around to giving the game a solid chance for a long time, version 2013 might be out by then.
Oh I also hear this is a very buggy game, what kind of bugs can I expect, are they game breaking ones?

Has Galactic Civilization II been in the daily deals?

I thought it was kinda funny, Team Meat should've taken things a little more seriously when someone offered to help, instead of acting all arrogant.

Yes. And I think they all expire on March 2nd. The gold coupons can be used now and I'm not sure when or if they expire.

I don't even see them responding on twittter. The game may be great but Team Meat can sometimes be so incredibly full of themselves.
Not really. They do teach you some stuff but the advanced stuff you'll only learn by seeing it used on you or trying it in a match.
Just playing the PC will drive you INSANE. It's common to say "lol the computer cheats!". In this case it really does. It will always have the exact cards it needs to kill your creatures or stop you. It will always have the cards it needs for combos. It also has access to cards that you don't. Playing only the PC will make you hate the game for all time. I've dubbed it "the Perfect Card, the Perfect Time, Everytime." I use that with my friends when I talk to them about it and they know exactly what I mean.
Not really that I've seen. I've had it crash once or twice but other than that, not really for single player. It does have alot of problems with the online portion. Lag or not letting you stop the timer to do something and thereby skipping your action and fucking your game, or making you quit and start the game again because the lobby only shows "No available games" until you do, etc. Yeah. It does have some problems.
That being said I've put over 100 hours into it. It's nice to have it on my PC just to start up and play a match when I have 20 minutes or so to kill.

I saw a picture just a moment ago on GAF with a nice recap, but can't find it. But basically someone pointed out a security flaw and they were like: No Worries!
Than this happened and now there are problems with the database so nobody can get the achievement. You can see it at their twitter, at the "Trust me, it's fine" part.

EDIT: Yeee, there is the pic. Read post below.

Very very short version.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Never had played Magic, and I got the game over the summer. I learned well enough from the tutorial and just playing. You just have to play matches and not worry about losing at 1st. You just want more matches and experience under your belt.

Holy shit. The worst part is that the guy pointing out whatever he found out to be wrong was actually offering to help.
I'm speechless :S
They're going to burn a lot of people because of this (folks cannot unlock the cheesemint because the server is down and because it's too hard).

The win/loss record, can this be reset? I'd probably just eat losses to learn, but once I get better and play for real I'd like to start fresh and not worry about my old 4win / 46 loss record.
I'm OCD about this kind of stuff unfortunately which can put me off to playing some games like this, and also stops me from ever picking a game back up if I took a long break from it, because I know I'd be rusty as hell.

I wish all Civs were on sale, not just Civ V. I want to get Civ IV and probably will grab it at the publisher discount on the last day if it doesn't go on sale (which I'm guessing it won't).
It would be awesome if there was a Sid Meier bundle.

The most mind blowing part is that the Bethesda Holiday Collection has less stuff than the pack that ran during Quakecon for essentially the same price.

I've only played ~10 matches (on Planeswalker difficulty), so this always amuses me, as I've won every single match against the computer without restarting / quitting. Is there any admission by the developers or code-digging to prove this to be the case?
Edit: I should add I've seen the computer get mana-screwed a handful of times as well, in MtG 2011, made me wonder why they'd bother programming cheats if they allow drawing too many / not enough mana.
What where the extra stuff in the Quakecon-pack? I know I should be suprised at the price difference, but still it blows my mind everytime and I get sad and shake my fist towards the sky and say "Why Gabe, WHY?"
There's only 1 more day of gift achievements left, that's the final day of new game sales.
F.E.A.R 3 for $12.49 /£10.19 on GetGames it is cheaper than the offer put on steam a few days ago.

Sweet! 7 coal turned into Witcher: Enhanced Edition... Oh wait, I already have that
I'll trade you Bad Rats for it
There was a recent study I just made up that says it happens 87.5% of the time.
But really no, it's all anecdotal. I felt with the amount of time I've played this version that I had a good base of what happens. It's entirely possible that I'm just that bad but I've played the card version "back in the day" and feel like I have a good enough grasp on the concepts that it can't all be me...although I can't prove it.
Other than the access to other cards. The first time I caught that was a PC opponent using a Mox.
Just posting from the trade thread. Since i don't have coals or anything anymore, i am willing to pay for the following via Paypal if people won them. Just PM your Steam ID.
What i'm after.
Deus Ex: Invisible War ($2.50)
Demigod ($4)
Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition ($10)
Dead Rising 2 ($7.50)
Devil May Cry 4 ($6)
Bioshock 2 ($5)
Deathspank games ($3.50 each)
Fable 3 ($5)
Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind ($4)
NBA2K12 ($7)

listen to the mad man
Haven't played 2 yet. 1 is worth the money, but has some flaws as a Layton clone.
From my impressions, November 2010:
They did fix some of the ambiguous or inadequate puzzle descriptions in a later patch.

Damn it, apparently Flight Control HD isn't Altitude. I really need calm down and think about things before I purchase them willy nilly, but Steam just makes it so darn easy to buy stuff.
I saw this and wanted to check the price, cause I was sure it was $10 (You are free to pay what you want, this isn't the point I'm trying to make), and the store page says the deal for it ends January 20th. I thought it was an easy typo, as other games still say January 2nd, but if that were the case wouldn't it say "January 20nd" ? Am I crazy?

(I totally have a 25% off Bethesda coupon that I will use alllllllll over this if it's true)
