I think I got RE 5 & 6 for like $4 each on GMG a while back. Dunno but it wasn't much. I'd wait.

I think I'm just antsy because the only thing I've bought so far is Rising.

It's 8 on GMG.
But if it's Steam Wallet money you have there's more than enough content to justify the price.

Forty bloody dollars on AU GMG. Just realised I have $3.10 in my Steam wallet, so I might as well grab it.

A little OT, but i just got permission to sell cards on Steam, and this is the best, I've made like US$3 dollars, put all my crap on sale below average and got World of Goo for free basically...

Are there really idiots that buy this crap??? (sorry if you are one of those, but come on!!) Awesome, I play games and get free money doing so (Steam money, so basically free games)

Picked up Volgarr from the humble store and it's is pretty awesome. Took me like 2 hours to beat the first level, but it was extremely satisfying when I finally did. But the game doesn't save? While I can appreciate the old school nature of such a challenge, I'm not sure if I'm ever going to have the patience or persistance to beat a game like this in one sitting.

Nope, it must have happened yesterday. I remember getting an error with one of my votes, so maybe it didn't go through and I forgot to vote again. Although I'm pretty sure I checked if one of the games said I voted for it. Oh well, it's only a snowglobe card less, I think I'll live.

If it's like the summer sale, you can miss out on two votes and still get the maximum amount of cards. That's because there was no vote for the final 8 hours of the sale since it would have been pointless.

It saves after you beat each level, giving you a sort of shortcut. Walk to the left when you start up a game to get to the start of the level you were last at.

There is actually a different ending for beating the entire thing in one sitting without skipping to the starting checkpoints.

It saves when you finish a level. When you restart? Go left, not right and you will pick up on level 2.

Is it wrong that I am buying games that I already got free with PSN+. I bought Hitman, Bioshock Infinite, Far Cry 3, simply because I will get better graphics on the PC.

Not at all.
I was looking at a lot of my "backlog" and a good chunk of it is double dips for the surperior version even though I have them on console.

Snow looks interesting but I'm not supporting Early Access nonsense.

Heh. I buy the cards you sell for below average, milk booster packs and sell those at normal price. Its an investment. Plus badges.

I broke my no early access rule for Blade Symphony.
Had seen it before and I just caved. 3rd person sword fighting MP is just awesome.
Don't think i'll break the rule for anything else though unless it contains dinosaurs.

Also mod support and always having the games in your library if you want to go back to them without having to pay a subscription. I'd probably do the same if I was in your position.

Cook, Serve, Delicious has gotten so many positive reviews on Steam it deserves another flash sale in order to get more exposure. I so wanna play it already.

completly off topic, but I cant believe Im going to have to check a faq or a video or something on link between worlds, Im stumped and i feel stupid, the game has not been hard at all until now :(

Have you tried throwing bombs at the blocked windows? That should do the trick. :)

I hope Long Live the Queen goes on a daily or flash or whatever at some point, I missed it in the last two sales and it looks really fun.

Oh, by the way can I get an invite to the GAF steam group please? Is that how it works?
