I'm looking to get as much games off steam as I can during the winter sales
TF2 all over again.
Hats are so last year.
We need cats, man.
It activates on steam, unless you mean specifically purchased on steam (for snowglobes I assume). I don't think CSGO will go below 75% though, it was at 75% on the flash sale.
Haha it's fine I guess you just want to use one platform. I'm contemplating double dipping for KOTOR1-2 myself since I only have them on discs but I'll wait until it's extra cheap.

There's been like 60 Humble Bundles. 5 games each (conservatively speaking) - I'd say getting even half of these for a price starting at $1 per bundle (but obviously skewing upwards for BTA games) is a good start.
Probably cheaper on GMG with their coupon.
You can sell the Winter crates you get from playing a few hours to get the money back.
Ya, maybe, I wasn't aware there are that many bundles

Yes, coming from a long-time CS 1.6 player. If you were a big Source player then I'm not sure, since I never really played it.
There's literally a fridge in every apartment that with upgraded strength Augs required to pick it up it's an insta kill. Never gets old. That poor Mrs Wethers, I must have caved her head in 5 or more times. Well she had lost her marbles anyway.
Aren't those Operation Bravo only? I still haven't gotten a participation crate.
I'm liking it so far, characters are great, story is interesting, and I'm liking the mystery. You do get some freezing during cutscenes like in TWD and we'll have to wait to see if the save bug is still there.

Bwahahaha, this sounds like my buddy who carried one of those turrets everywhere and used it to kill everyone.
What? It's a daily today. It's not going to go lower than the daily price.

Yo.
Ah, I'll wait a little more. Don't feel like gambling. Had to play TWD in Win98 mode.

Any opinion on Craft The World?

Everyone always talks about this XCOM game. I looked on Steam and it's a strategy game, and since I'm on the topic of buying strategy games: is XCOM beginner-friendly? Is it like a RTS with a lot of units?

So, I have Deus Ex: Human Revolution, have played it for about 6 hours, but stopped. Want to start it again someday, is it worth getting the Directors Cut?
There's a good chance. I remember CoJ Gunslinger being $5 in the Autumn sale 2-3 weeks ago. It will probably receive the same discount this sale.
It is a turn based strategy game. I played over 20 hours of it on normal difficulty, and it felt pretty balanced at that difficulty.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Just a quick heads-up for anyone playing a Telltale game, seems its still there in The Wolf Among Us; don't plug in your 360 controller. Their games won't boot up if there's a controller pluged in.
...yeah.
Been there since Wallace & Grommit, from what I remember. Still there.
Crazy stuff.

It will probably go on a daily or flash sale at some point. I'm gonna pull the trigger on Gunslinger if it goes to 75% off.
I wanted to like this game very much, but it didn't work for me. I'm still awaiting for the "create your universe" game that's fun.

This took me a couple of hours to make and I'm not really sure it was worth it, but I took all the Amazon sales info for the next week or two and shoved it into a colour-coded OpenOffice spreadsheet to make it easier to figure out when you should buy [insert game X here]. Sheet 2 contains all the good stuff. Grey indicates a sale price, green indicates the lowest price.
I'm leaving for a dinner outing, so the sheet is super raw and unpolished right now. If someone wants to clean it up or find a way to get Google Docs to co-operate with the conditional formatting I did (because lord knows I couldn't), feel free! If the sheet totally sucks or has wrong data, I apologize and will try to fix it when I get home!

You can start by playing on Easy to be honest. The tutorial is kind enough for explaining the basic stuff. You might get hooked up to the game once you start, I really like it. You have a team that you can improve as they do more missions and it will unlock new and better abilities for them.
You can also improve his/her armos, weapons and so on. Not sure if I answered everything, but let me know if you have any question.
Really great. Must buy if you're into rogue likes.
What? Is this a universal issue? Because I'm pretty sure I played through Walking Dead Season 1 and The Wolf Among Us with my 360 pad.

Yeah, the only reason I noticed it was a daily was because I thought it was a daily already and thought it was a repeat... I think I was thinking of the flash sale though. Odds of it going lower are probably low though.
While I'm on the subject -- if you need to do Operation Bravo to get those CS:GO crates, is that a 1 time DLC add on, to be able to play it? I've only noticed it in the game type menu.
Hahaha. I was actually thinking of Hank and all the crazy shit he did in that game, but now that I think about it, you were just as guilty.
Guacamelee most certainly is.
But the memes though.
I think the Steam URI for that is this one:
Code:
steam://run/[B]GAMEIDGOESHERE[/B]Your friend should replace "GAMEIDGOESHERE" with the proper ID. He can find a list of IDs here. For example, launching Marvel Heroes (another F2P game) is as easy as inputting "steam://run/226320" into the address bar.

Works fine for me.

No and no. It's a squad-based, turn-based, meatgrinder. Fun, but expect to lose squaddies. A lot.
Aww, sorry Camel Master, thanks, but somehow missed it's Magicka, I already have it, so first to quote this post gets it.

I've alway's had this issue and i've hear a lot about in on the web. I hope it doesn't effect everyone, but the bug is there. For years. Lurking in the shadows.
Watching.
Huh :/
Well, this is switching from "watchout for this bug" to "does anybody know how to fix this?"
I have a 360 controller plugged in all the time and I have played every telltale game :/
Not saying it didnt happen to you (or many) of course

It's mostly a Windows 8 thing, as far as I can tell (or at least affects it more often). Regardless you just dump a direct input dll in the game's folder and it works fine. That was the case for me with TWD.
