I'm starting to think the sale has run out of games I'm interested in. Not that I can complain, I have enough games to easily last me a year...

Don't forget the Skullgirls classics.
SG is all MarvelousAQL and Lab Zero Games now for the curious.
All those eyes looking at that $1 Don't Starve deal and salivating.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Early Access games are fucking expensive.
There's already an all-in-one mod for Morrowind (Morrowind Overhaul I think?)

Do we know how many users Steam has? Not concurrent, in total.

Yeah, I really want to hear what Stump thinks about what's happening to the Steam pal's this sale. They're going through a harsh winter!

In for Steam Marines, unsure about Hitman Absolution and Fallen Enchantress. I've never played a Hitman before (though I do own Blood Money) so I'm not sure if Absolution would actually be fine to play if you're new to the series, since many of the complaints I've heard seem to be "it's not like old Hitman." As for Fallen Enchantress, so we're sure now that Stardock hasn't shit the bed on this one like they did Elemental (and apparently the original Fallen Enchantress)?
The justification is to keep impulse buyers a way from a situation they don't fully grasp.
The jump mechanic is a hit and miss, and there are a few bugs that never, as far as I know, got fixed in the PC version, but the game is solid fun and a nice tribute to the LoTR series.

As they should be.
Modbot does not care what the game is called, but there are rules that could prevent you from winning twice (or at all). You can't win Kandrick's raffle unless you've given a game away yourself. You can only win something from ModBot every 15 minutes (unless Stump has changed the throttle) so you can't possibly win both Gintoki and Metalic Sand's raffles. Et cetera.
But when you win something, your name is made public. The thread will know if you win multiple copies of the same game, and if you don't give one back...you run a pretty high risk of being blacklisted from ModBot giveaways.
got a small giveaway coming guys (fair warning to avoid AWWW I MISSED A GIVEAWAY WHILE I WAS HAVING A WANK?), but I need some food first cause im starving.
smaller giveaway this time cause im literally running on fumes now sales money wise, but still some good stuff in there I think. will be up in a bit

I really wish we could have environmental and lore design like Morrowind in a more modern TES or other RPG game. Oblivion was the worst. Skyrim was a step up, but I wouldn't call Norse mythology a particularly rarely used theme either.
The only other games that did as much for me in the design department were Planescape Torment (although I think that game was based on an established D&D IP), and Dark Souls. DS, while based on a Western medieval theme, did enough by venturing off into the surreal and gothic horror to differentiate itself.

$1.19 for less than 10 minutes.
Alright, thx. Missed the bit about the 15 minute limit. That should definitely lower any risks.
Get a nice meal, Don't starve.
The lore behind Morrowind, the racial tension, and how it is all interconnected is incredibly deep.
$1.19

Ok bought Morrowind. Hope I will find the time to play it some day.

Ah I see, okay.
Though, you who buy games from russian should be able to get the RE6: Complete Pack for about $8 anyway.
The 90 cents a copy deal was killer.

Is there a list of the games that have hit flash/daily already? Curious if I missed Magic 2014 already.

People should get RE6. It's definitely a mixed bag, but the campaign is hilarious if you play with someone and enjoy goofy, over-the-top scenes that have no reasonable explanation to them. As in, explosions everywhere.
Once you finish the campaign, the real meat of the game is the Mercenaries mode (though it's unlocked right from the start). There are actually two variants on PC: The Mercenaries (regular) and The Mercenaries No Mercy (PC-exclusive). The differences are huge for sure. In the regular mode, enemies spawn at specific locations on any given map once you kill a certain number of enemies, and you need to navigate/learn where this happens so you can keep up your combo for as long as you can. The total number of enemies on a map is 150, and getting a full 150-combo requires finesse. The No Mercy variant does away with most of the strategy and goes balls-to-the-wall fuck-awesome with the number of enemies on screen at once, making the regular variant seem anemic in comparison. The combo is doubled to 300, but the number of enemies isn't capped at 300 at all. Oh, no. There are tons and tons and tons of enemies and it's awesome. It's definitely a fun mode to play in short bursts or for hours, and it's the part of the game where the mechanics really shine bright, if you give it a chance. The finesse required in the regular variant is mostly gone, but the threat of death is much higher when you have all kinds of enemy types being thrown at you.
You can pretty much skip all the DLC, but I will say that the Onslaught DLC is my favorite. It's extremely unique and satisfying, but it's 1v1 and finding people playing it when the mood strikes is hard (and that's true for any of the modes, frankly). It's basically a mix of Puzzle League/Tetris Attack/Panel de Pon and RE6 gameplay. You kill enemies and build up your combo (up to 30), and when you get the max combo or drop it, you send that many number of enemies to your opponent's side. the higher the combo, the deadlier the enemies you send over. it's a very exhilarating mode and I highly recommend it, but, again, virtually no one plays it. BUT I DO
You definitely need to have some people on your friends list for it.

Wait! You mean games in early Alpha aren't 100% stable, fully featured, with all gameplay elements refined??? Surely you jest!
It is insane how much you have spent already to be honest lol.
No magic 2014.

Hahaha even then I was like "eh, nah."
You have to go out of the top 60 in the Steam top sellers to find Ghosts, Black Ops II isn't even in the top 100.
Go read the Steam forums, it literally disgusts me.

Where's the price errors for the games I don't have?
Will be picking up Morrowind, that game took over my life back then when it came out on the xbox and needs to be part of my steam library even if I never replay it.

You forgot to pimp the RE6 Neogaf group.
To be fair the game is like 30+ hours long. $11 is a great value but only if you play in coop. Is this a great Resident Evil game? No. Is it fun? Yes. I highly recommend it for this price.
