Bought quite a few games, but Avernum: Escape from the Pit is taking all of my time. Just clicked the world map and... well.

Damn.
It's next on my list after I finish Geneforge 3, ended up enjoying the Spiderweb games a lot more than I thought I would. They remind me of Rings of Power though, so that's probably why I love them.

gifted me the Time Gentlemen, Please! double pack and I'll totally play the second part right now. No idling, no cards. Just pure, uncorrupted gaming. I don't even know how that feels anymore and I'm scared but here we go..

You'll soon learn the price of true freedom.

Dear Guys,

I havent bought anything during the sale yet... :( Nothing has really caught my eye. I feel like a girl trying on clothes and nothing looks good on me.

Whats wrong with me?

Love,

Gurrry

i haven't bought much either. it's either because all the good deals i've gotten already or the stuff i'm on the fence about hasn't hit the sweet spot for impulse buy.
 
what is sanctum, any good?

Hey you are welcome.

I am jumping between indoctrinating people with that game and Alpha Prime.
 
If you're fine with vanilla buy it and buy the dlc at the next sale. Fallout dlc is pretty much the best dlc ever released though. Love it.


Fallout 1 is nothing like the others.

Thanks, the dlc are more expensive than the base game, so I don't know, lol.

btw, steam says fallout 3 is not windows 7 compatible, lol?

I wonder if I should wait for Kerbal Space Program to go down even further? Does anyone believe it'll go down or should I just get it now?

The daily deal is the best you can hope for, unless you count on a price mistake during a flash deal.
 
Still missing one but here's a start...

Never doubt the power of a good sale.

seems more like a marketing problem to me, to be honest. Even at a high price, there should still more sales for a game like that than what I'm seeing there. I think, anyway.

A steam sales chart with actual numbers? Always nice when developers break the NDA (I assume) so we can see that :)

FEZ case is probably a little extreme because it's one of those releases where a lot people were waiting for the "summer sale" to buy it, but in general, yeah... there a reason every other digital retailer starting using the same model as Valve's.

It's way cheaper on Origin. $8 an expansion.

Its about 20$ cheaper for all the stuff i want.

But i dont like origin or EA. And im gonna do a test now but it seems as if i dont have to ligin with an EA account as well as being able to play in offline mode with steam.
