Fuck i need 50 cents in order to gift a game to myself using the hotspot shield trick. Anyone knows where can i earn 50 cents and send them into my paypal account? Hopefully a place that doesn't require phone verification (i already got screwed that way).
I can't believe I'm shoving id super pack aside. I was the biggest id fan back in the day. I think its mainly because there are so many other good games I haven't even owned yet thats dissuading me from re-buying those games. I also still have working cds for the quake series. I'd have to go hunting for my doom discs but I have doom already on xbl.
Maybe I'll just buy doom2 for a legal .wad. Decisions, decisions.

Anybody have ideas to why the demo of Bioshock wouldnt work on my Vista 32 bit rig?
It worked before, but now it gives me an error saying Bioshock.exe can't run or something, but I cant think of anything that's changed.
If the demo has a problem i'd hate to think of spending the money on it and it not working >.<

Admin Mode? You mean having administrative rights? It should already.
This is the screen I get when trying to run it.
anyone mind adding me to their friends list and gifting me Bejeweled Deluxe for $1?
I would not ask but Steam is pissing me off with their credit card denial. I had gotten it to work by using my old account and gifting it to my new one, but now my CC doesn't work on either account. I forgot to purchase Bejeweled Deluxe in my big purchase of over $120.

I'll be back at the end of the day to accept any requests, thank you.

Fuck it, I'm going with the super pack. I never got the quake expansions so those might be neat to give a go at. This is my final purchase from steam for this sale (I swears it) so try not to tempt me with any more lol. >$40 to have all my childhood favourites in a simple client is definitely worth it the more I think about it (especially to have on the go with my laptop for when I'm bored somewhere).
Aside from uplink (a game that really surprised me, hacking is fun heh), I tried to go for the games that had the biggest sales and probably won't reach those prices for quite some time. I feel strangely obliged to support stalker as my grandparents were originally from the Ukraine, and last time I checked Ukraine's economy aint so hot lol.
So many games for about the price of a couple console games. Nice haul, nice haul indeed. Merry Christmas to me.

I had it in my cart for a while the other day and eventually decided that, although it IS a great deal, the truth is that I would probably not actually ever play the vast majority of those games for more than a few minutes each. I grabbed Doom and Doom II for .99 so I can get rid of my physical versions and called it a day.

Picked up the following:
Unreal Tournament 3
Bioshock
Race 07
Trials 2
Luxor 2
Bejeweled Deluxe
Heavy Weapon Deluxe
BTW, Bioshock requires a Shader Model 3 capable video card. If your card is only SM 2 compliant, go to Shadershock to apply a patch to make it work. As for 2K Games not including the SM 2 files - Come on, man.

Yikes... Spore and the RRTC series bought. Since I already own RRTC (many times over I suspect) I think someone might need to drag me away from my computer until the sale is over. On a postive note, if GoG ever gets Baldur's Gate II, I'll have all of my "install on every fresh Windows installation" games on DD services. No more cracks!

I don't have it but it's supposedly a pretty buggy port. Read the Steam forums for the game.
Even though I haven't picked it up yet myself (probably will), one of the gems on sale right now is Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 platinum. Get the original game plus both expansions for $22.49 on sale. RCT2 was one of my most played games back in the day, and it sounds like RCT3 holds up the tradition. I was dabbling with the game at a friends place the other day, and the 3D cam for the coasters is awesome. Having said this, the 3d cam can really bog down the frame rate if you have a full park.

All this talk about Company of Heroes and Dawn of War has me really wanting to buy one (or both of them)--despite the fact that I really really really suck at RTSs. I couldn't even finish the demo of CoH. And I haven't really played one since Starcraft years ago.
Should I bite anyway?

btw, to all people having problems with the credit card: contact Steam support (http://support.steampowered.com/newticket.php) and they'll unlock your credit card. I hope these issues get solved once and for all, but at least in the meanwhile you'll take advantage of the sales.
Try the demos out first and see if you like them.
There should be demos for both games up on steam. Just check the game page.

Definitely worth the price as far as I'm concerned. It's a great game to always kind of have in the background--I didn't blaze through it, I just beat a few levels here and there, and it's lasted me quite a while and it's always really fresh and clever. There are plenty of new mechanics and types of goo introduced throughout the game, so don't assume it's just the demo times 20 or whatever.Proc said:

That's amazing.
I can't wait until I make a gigantic army and start harassing pretty much everybody in the game. :lol
Seriously GAF, at least try the demo. Very fun game.

What's going on?! I have 5.19 in my paypal account, yet when I try to buy Bioshock it asks for me to link to a debit/credit card?! What's going on? When I bought audiosurf it let me just pay for my account.
I just updated the account to that amount... could that be the reason why?

I read it and it doesn't look too good now. I guess I can wait on that till it's fixed and a bit cheaper.

I was very impressed with how well the coaster builder translated into 3D and played it to death. My early impressions of the demo when it first come out were lukewarm so it is possible patches or the expansions tweaked the game enough to make it feel like a 'real' RCT game.

The good thing is while downloading L4D my Trials 2 demo is updating. I just hope steam does a summer sale or a sale similar to this next year so i can pick up things i couldn't afford but wanted.
Man, Clear Sky was really, really disappointing. I was just starting to get into it, and then I get into one of those stupid "points of no return" which was part of a long series of quests, so it was even more abrupt than SoC's point of no return. I made it to the end anyways, but the ending is bugged for some reason. Oh yeah, and completely lame even if it wasn't.
Ugh.
Edit: Also, it takes way too many bandages to stop bleeding. Like 2-5? What!?!? I suspect this may have been a bug though, because abruptly near the end it started stopping on itself or taking only one despite the bleeding being quite high.
