Dragon fruit.

If it's not your favourite fruit already, it will be now. Checkmate.

I will gift anyone a steam game of their choice worth $5 or less if they can guess my favorite fruit.

I wanted to gift my new steam friends something but all the wishlisted games that they have are all so expensive. I'm poor peoples :((

Lychee?

I don't suppose anybody from GermanGAF is around? I need to get my hands on the German version of GTA:SA before the discount expires.

the same one which is sold at the austrian store I'd assume?

if yes I could buy it for you, if you haven't found anyone else yet
 
Reddit had a neat list of the "essential" Skyrim mods. I downloaded:
- Unofficial Skyrim Patch(es)
- SkyUI
- iHUD
- Bandolier
- Immersive Armors
- Pure Waters
- Enhanced Blood Textures

And BOSS and SKSE. I feel like that should keep my experience pretty vanilla but at the same time it will be nicely improved by the mods. Any input would be very welcome!

I bought Fallout New Vegas and I'm wondering if anyone here can give me a short list of essential mods.

So I managed to make enough card money and bought all the Ys games. I'll try to farm and sell more cards to buy The Last Remnant, but I think I'm oficially done with this sale.

Wow, my vote for Deadpool at $10 again was ATE when they switched to Call of Duty. Doesn't even show my vote. WTF. :/

i thought it was weird they've changed the votes, i have an image where Deadpool is one of the options. i think this what happened to one of my votes, which i thought counted but suddenly i've seen that i'm missing one :(

What's with Humble Bundles site and Amazon payments? Decided to use them for a change since Paypals conversion rates are worse than my cards and I get a message saying "The transaction has been flagged for manual investigation"... I've used that card thousands of times on Amazon.co.uk I can't see why it would be an issue now. :S

Well, yeah, but that shouldn't be an issue. I use the same card through Amazon Payments for Kickstarter, which also charges in dollars. In fact I backed the Mandate at the start of December and the payment went through fine.

Just got all the fun Feena related achievements for Ys I, love that you even get her measurements next to her level stats after, getting "Forever Level One to Me" was a pain in the butt though.

Mango is pretty awesome, I think I'm more of a cherry or melon fan though.
 
Yup that .99 cents is the first thing I've spent money on this sale.

Only the second thing I did this sale [for myself] :). Of course then the Monk went and gifted it to me mere seconds later :D. So I redeemed his gift and gifted my inventory copy to him. Ha!

I really need to get back to XCOM soon. I named my squaddies after a bunch of guys I hang out with IRL (most of whom are gamers themselves) and tried to customize them to match. They got a kick out of hearing about "their" exploits in-game (and in one case, how one of them met his unfortunate end while taking cover behind a car that went up in a fireball. I didn't know about cars then. >.> )

Oh I did that in Organ Trail. The_Monk kept getting himself killed though :/. Wandering off from the car for no apparent reason. He blamed Cary Grant's farts on the backseat but I think it was really what Cary Grant was getting up to with Randolph Scott on the backseat but The_Monk was too polite to say :/.

If you're going to buy XCOM: EU and you're at all able, I'd highly recommend also getting the Enemy Within expansion. It includes some great, meaty additions to the core game without sacrificing any of its appeal.

I think it effectively renders Enemy Unknown by itself pretty obsolete, though you'll still have the option on boot-up of playing the core EU first if you choose to.

Ultimately, you get to punch Chrysalids and Mutons in the face with a cyborg mech and smash them in one hit, which is really the only selling point EW needs.



This is an amazing deal. Jump on this, people.

I would argue that EW can best be enjoyed by playing EU to death first and then adding EW to the mix but one man's meat and all that :).

Thanks woo, you were the one that informed me. Yes, let's move on. If anything it's motivated me to more vocal and to participate more in the community, lurking mostly. I'll just whoop Gaf's asses when the SFIV update releases eventually, trying not to install any of my games with gfwl (sorry, Dark Souls).

Well some good has come out from it all then :).

did I miss another javadots? skimming through a couple of pages it looks like i did

No. Misunderstanding.

unless you bank forbids it (dunno what card you have), you don't need to use paypal currency conversion if you choose so, instead you are charged in currency you are buying and your bank converts it. My bank takes fee which isn't that small in some cases, still better than paypal offers.

Immersive Weapons is pretty cool. It's like Immesive Armors, just adds a lot more weapons that you can find and craft. Not as important on a first playthrough, but it adds some replayability.

Also Convenient Horses. It lets you adjust the speed your horses run (and a bunch of other things). If you're not a fan of fast-travelling constantly, boost your horse's speed up to 11 and ride it everywhere.

There is couple more i am forgetting. I had a list handy that i used from someone but added my recommendations and my own mods.

Don't get Dogs of Skyrim or Better clouds you with have graphic incompatibilities with the above mods. Pets of Skyrim should give you dogs to the world anyway. The key is to get the character mods working first because thats where you will run into most of the problems. The other stuff is easy.
