After the next flash sale, I'll pick up Half-Life 2 and whatever other $3 game I can find. It wasn't a great sale for me this time, but Dust was money well spent at least.

Humble Store > GOG > Steam > GMG

Does that sound about right for the winter sale?

Amazon's sales were pretty good as well. Lots of games that were recently released were at a pretty good price. Mass Effect Trilogy for $10, Tomb Raider for $5 (iirc), Lego Marvel for $12, and Borderlands 1(GOTY)/Borderlands 2 for $10.

I'm going to pass on SSFIV: AE. While I love fighting games, I do need to save the money and I already have Skullgirls to play

Same here, not sure what is best to buy and what's worth it. Any opinions here?
Click to expand...

It is madness, and i'm sure someone else can chime in better....but Brave New World and Gods & Kings are the top to expansions.

I think you can just buy the Gold Upgrade + BNW and get everything

Grid 2 looks really pretty. Visuals are nice and the sound engine is actually good. You will race for fans, so you can increase popularity and make this a more well-known sport. Different races will be spread across the US, Europe, Asia and so on. The selection of cars is quite good, however there's some very tempting DLC's in there, some with cars and tracks. Did not play much of Online yet but I managed to get in a lobby couple of times but as always, I'm terrible playing online.

Right I do have a problem with the game and that only happens when I Shift + Tab to answer someone, my keyboard gets stuck in a letter forcing me to unplug and plug back in. The HUD seems a bit blurry but nothing serious, there's a decent selection in the difficulty of the game too which is fine. It's also very addicting!

Intriguing. I'll have to put some time into the demo, see how I feel about... after the backlog..

Man, I've got such bad neck pain from last night, must be from staying up so late the last few weeks to vote on the 2am voting.



The same to you as well!

:( Take some ibuprofen as that is pain relief and muscle relaxant. Hope you feel better soon *hugs [but not too tightly]*

Bah, I really hoping for Guardians of Middle-earth.



You've seen Hanna, right? She'll be able to handle herself just fine. ;)

I has a key for that game which you may have. Message me in Steam or add me [link in my profile] if we're not already Steam friends. I think we are already but it can be hard to keep track sometimes :/.

No, sorry. The last movie I saw at the cinema was either The Phantom Menace or Gladiator. I haven't watched telly for yonks either so I am distinctly out of the contemporary popular culture loop! :)

Oh and she might be a badass but in XCOM her fate depends entirely on me :/. I promise to try and look after her though :).

I will never cease being surprised and overjoyed by how generous and friendly SteamGAF is. Its a new year, but still the great community feeling.

Though I'm not sure about Steam, as it's telling me I need a budget while sending me emails about buying a game otherwise a little girl might die by zombie attacks.



I suffered the same problem with multiple letters being entered when it came to Steam Overlay. I finally got in touch with someone and was informed it was a network connectivity issue (which makes no sense to me) and I was given a patch to download which fixed it for the most part. Alas it was a one time download link so I can't share it, and as it deleted itself immediately and I couldn't look into exactly what was altered, I can't tell what it did per say.

I recommend just going through the same steps I did. Talk to someone at Valve. https://support.steampowered.com/newticket.php

Ah, it was you! I knew it was a thread regular that I was fond of :).

Humble Store's deals were horrible most of the sale except the ones they are repeating now.

street fighter is great on pc, online base is active and very friendly.

please set you framerates to fixed if it isn't already defaulted so, fixed will drop frames to keep the gameplay speed and inputs consistent.

So I have CivV standard edition. Whats the best route to get everything? The Gold Edition Upgrade and what?
Click to expand...

Gold edition upgrade bags you most of the mini dlc and gods&kings. All thats left after that is brave new world which is on sale now and apparently makes the game a thousand times better

Is You Need a Budget any good/useful?
Click to expand...

YNAB is only good if YOU decide and make the commitment to start budgeting for yourself. It's a wonderful product, and if you have never budgeted your money before it's a great start! If you need any help the website has tons of tutorials and even offer live classes to help.
