BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
So which is the more fun online co-op game: Magicka or Dungeon Defenders?

Also, do they have versus modes? If so, which one excels at that as well?

I emptied out my wishlist, so the next sale should be a lot easier on the wallet.

Now to find the time to play....

If anyone wants a 50% TwoWorlds coupon, let me know. I'm not going to use it.

Skyrim tempts me again. No doubt in my mind it's worth $40, but for a game of this scope, I know it's something I'm not going to be able to really dive into until I get some free time over the summer, at which point it'll probably be cheaper. But still, so tempting to buy it just to see what all the fuss is about, and you just feel remiss for not playing one of 2011's best games yet.

Are the deals really lasting for another 15 hours? My valve coupons start on the 2nd, so it looks like I could use it on portal 2 in the early hours tomorrow.

Anyone know for sure?

I didn't check this thread; finally got 7 coal a minute ago(No time) and got 25% valve coupon.

What a waste I already had a 33% off.

I didn't buy anything this winter sale. Combination of more careful management of my backlog and nothing that interested me enough.

Okay, so now that I know there's going to be no daily deal, I am interested in DOOM and DOOM II, but here there's Final DOOM, The Ultimate DOOM, and DOOM II. Which is which and which ones should I get? Also, what mods should I use to update the games?

The Ultimate Doom is the final version of Doom 1; it added the fourth chapter.
Doom II is, well, Doom II.
Final Doom was an officially-sanctioned standalone addon; it was two full new 32-level Doom 2 episodes made by some of the more prolific WAD designers. It didn't include the original Doom 2.

As for updates: Doom Legacy, jDoom and zDoom are the three I recall from some time ago, and I *think* zDoom has kept going since then.
 
Only bought the Witcher (which in hindsight was a bad move because everyone was trading this) and Dungeon Defenders.

Still have a copy of Dungeon Defenders. $3 USD Paypal.
 
I just came here to say that sanctum is worth the price of admission just for the text to speech feature. Making Stephen Hawking say "Ass to mouth" doesn't seem to ever get old.

Really been thinking on picking up Skyrim, just cant pull myself to pull the trigger on it.

I'm in a similar boat, but I think this will probably ultimately push me to buy tomorrow morning. I've seen enough of the 360 version being played to know I'm going to have a hard time taking the storyline seriously, but riding around on Rainbow Dash through towns full of Juggalo kids just might make the whole thing work.

Can someone quickly explain the difference between Serious Sam HD: Gold Edition and Serious Sam HD: Double Pack?

I know the double pack just has the First and Second Encounter redone in HD, but not having ever played SS as a kid, I don't know what the Gold Edition is at all.

Anyone?

Gold Edition has the original, non-"HD" versions as well.

$.95 on my Steam Wallet, Dark Void Zero costs $.99, and I promised to myself that I wouldn't charge my card again for the sale.

Damn me, hahaha.

I need some help buying Shogun 2 + DLC and
Deus Ex Human Revolution + DLC from the US steam store.
If anyone can help PM me.

Thank you, and if that's it, I'll just be buying the Double Pack for $2.99, hopefully by the time I get to them BFE will be on sale again. Makes more sense to play these before putting money down on the 3rd.

Do we know if the coupons will work at midnight ? Do they already work in Europe and Australia ?

Don't currently work in Europe so we'll have to all wait until valve makes the coupons live. I'm not holding my breath though, I doubt the coupons will stack with sales but I hope I'm wrong.

A bit late, but thanks to xeno for coming through with LA Noire! Also, an encouragement award for willflare for offering as well, but a bit later than xeno did ;)
