Warhammer Fantasy mod you say? I am very intrigued...thanks a lot , you bastard! My wallet ;(
Honestly? I'd just start with the base game. It's going to be hard enough to get a grasp on the basics as it is, there's really no reason to make things more complicated with expansions yet. However, if you really want to buy some DLC here's a thread on the Steam forums discussing the best ones to start off with and why.
These are on my wish list.
Rex Rocket
Rocket Knight
20xx
Xenodrifter
Wings of Vi
Super Panda Adventure
Amazing princess Sarah
Jet gunner
JoyLancer
Platformines
Top Hat
Magicians and Looters
Viktor: Enforcer Edition
Noitu Love 2 Devolution

http://www.reddit.com/r/CrusaderKings/wiki/expansions This is the reddit ck2 wiki link talking about expansions
excerpt:
Which expansions should I purchase?
Generally, the community holds The Old Gods (for extending game-play by two hundred years) and Legacy of Rome (for allowing players to create standing armies, called 'retinues') above the other expansions. As Charlemagne unlocked the 769 start date (another hundred years before The Old Gods), this might quickly become a favorite too. However, the enhancements and varied game-play provided by the other expansions are not to be ignored - each expansion enriches the game in its own way, or unlocks new characters to play.[/QUOTE]
IMO TOP 4 DLC is :
1. The Old Gods
2. Legacy of Rome
3. Charlemagne (has yet to go on sale)
4. Way of Life (this just came out so I don't know it's true value yet)
Most things the steam reviews say is that way of life dlc is really shallow for the price point. Life choices aren't deep enough and don't provide enough new or interesting. I still want it though lol

For Crusader Kings II, is there a time limit? Like, after a certain year the game ends?
XChainfireX

Me too, my friend. If that's the case I would take Way of Life out of the #4 slot and throw either The Republic (If you wanna play a Doge) or Rajas of India ( if you want to play as an Indian Ruler and open up more land on the map).

Yes, but then you can import into EU4.

Yes, I forget which year. CK2 doesn't hold your hand and is quite complex. I recommend you watch a few episodes of a "let's play" on youtube by either Quill18 or Tek's Tavern. Furthermore google some newb-friendly ck2 articles and wikis online. Once you get a good understanding of the game, it's very captivating and enjoyable. Mods also are fun!
Worth it. Though it was cheaper before but still worth it especially if your going to play it right away.

Games don't have to innovate to be fun or good; they just need to be fun and entertaining and/or hitting that sweet spot you're looking for in a genre, which is why Shovel Knight is well regarded.
Wait a minute:
"HOLIDAY SALE! Offer ends January 28" Is this an error? Hm. May bite if so.
The page says it's on sale until the 28th

I've been keeping up to date on the deals pretty regularly but since I have not seen it, has the Valve Complete Pack had a daily yet?
Nabs

It was a daily when Portal 2 was on sale. $24.99.
There is no Spring Sale.
...which I think is a huge oversight on Valve's part, because there's a massive gap between the winter sale and summer sale, yet a tiny one between pre-holiday and winter sale.
Are there really no sales in between? I could have sworn there was something, even a small one like the Halloween sale.
Last year there was an Indie Spring Sale. That's the closest Valve's come to incorporating Spring into the regular sale roster.
Recettear has gone lower, and they had difficulty getting a sale in the first place according to posts from SpaceDrake here (not Valve's fault), so chance of a daily is really, really low.
Get now or wait for 75% if $1.67 of savings is worth waiting a few months.
Well that certainly makes sidelining Super Time Force harder.

You think it will have another daily during the sale?

I finally farmed all 200+ games for card drops. Damn that was tedious.
Not really. Its a run of the mill mega man clone. Its fun but far from fresh or truly great.

Dude he could use that $1.67 he saved to buy the best-selling title, Bad Rats! Think of the value!!!!
Idle master?

Sold. Installing now.
If it helps, the next price it'll fall to is $3.74, and if you think you'll play it soon, then you can shell out $5.09 now and bite the difference.

Hah no. I did it the old fashion way. But after googling idle master I now wish I used that instead

Most of the DLC locks you in once you start them until you finish, just a heads up.

GAF I'm thinking of buying Shadowrun Dragonfall, but I have a few questions.
1. Do I have to play any other games in the franchise to have any idea whats happening? Is it easy to understand for someone who knows nothing about that universe.
2. What is the gameplay like? I get its an RPG of some sort but not sure how exactly its mechanics are.

1) You'll be fine. The developers realise that the last real Shadowrun game was around 20 years ago so most people don't know about it. You might miss references but you wont be lost.
2)Turned based combat on a grid with RPG leveling, talking to people out of combat with dialogue options, and areas/options gated by skill checks or key/codes discovered via exploration. A common occurence is finding a computer where you can either hack or find the password elsewhere in the environment.
