Wouldn't it be great if there were never any repeats? Like someone misses a deal because they were doing something stupid like work or school and we would all laugh at their faces.

Correct. This game doesn't always make sense; however, it is fun and at time hilarious. It can get frustrating when you've felt like you've tried everything and still can't pass a level.

Anyone know which improvements have been made since the original? 100-percented it on iOS. Good fun.

Argh I can't decide if I should buy Tomb Raider now or see if something better appears later today. Still many games I want to buy (Doom 3 BFG, Painkiller pack, UT pack). What's the chances of TR getting rehashed on the last day?

updated modbot for the new thread so that auto-edits and lurking calculations work properly.

Do people who won games during the time Modbot was down still count as winners? Or do the posters doing the giveaways have to do it again?

i totally won fallout: new Vegas ultimate edition in the last thread

I wonder if Paradox is going to implement cards before this sale is over. I was hoping to make some bank on selling all those cards (since I own 90% of their games) while the market was most active. Though, I have to at least craft a March of the Eagles badge to go with my Euro Truck and Super Meat Boy badges. Maybe a Victoria 2 or Europa Universalis 3 one too.

It was 55% off (i think? I paid like 6 something for it) earlier in the sale, but apparently that was a pricing error.
Click to expand...

Yeah, somebody added the 40% discount on top of the 25% discount the game already had: ($14.99 - 25%) - 40% = $6.74.

Anyone know about achievement probelms in Binding of Isaac? I completed the challenge to unlock burnt penny but the achievement didn't unlock though I did unlock burnt penny...

Nevermind, I was looking at it wrong, it unlocked, doh!

YNAB not having cards is a huge missed opportunity. I could improve my budget by selling those too.

I know Valve's just been holding off on these final days to let out the megatons like NiGHTS and Pinball FX tables.

And the Shenmue I & II HD surprise release, you forgot about that one.

Which of these 2 games is better for quick sessions once in a while? (I don't have much time on my hands nowadays)

- Sleeping Dogs?

- X-com?
Click to expand...

Sleeping Dogs is your best bet if you're going for quick sessions. X-COM won't do that well if you want to play it for a short time since it's all turn based and some missions potentially could drag on. Most Sleeping Dogs missions aren't too long and should suffice.

Wouldn't it be easier to just remove or cover up the postcard for Prison Architect then? I think it would be far too late for them to pull out of the Steam sale now anyway.

Change in code is far simpler than having to get the artist redraw the art.

I don't know how true it is, but the creators of Expeditions Conquistador stated that they have no control over the sales.
Click to expand...

I'm sure Valve would listen if Introversion told them that they didn't want a massive influx of players to their Early Access game.

Martian said:
Its still a daily if you search for it

Also why would they remove skyrim if Prison architect doesn't go on sale anymore. Valve has no reason to pull Skyrim, its one of the big money makers
Click to expand...

Just the showcase not the actual deal.



It's probably just a bug or an ARG.

I suppose I better get ready to go see Pacific Rim. Guess I won't be around for the change in daily deals (a.k.a. the parade of repeats).

It used to be like this. Just dailies and only 24 hours time :( Best of sale on last day has been there ever since I remember however.

McPixel is really cool. I wouldn't say any of the "solutions" intuitively feel correct, but I guess the point is that you learn..kinda.. from the trial and error.

uggh i could not stand this game. i bought it to see what the hype was about and to support the dev for his straight up awesome way he looks at the gaming community. but the game itself, no thanks. that being said, i guess it's worth the dollar i paid for it.

I got Dishonored, Fallout New Vegas, Deus Ex/Invisible War.

Dishonored is fucking amazing. Kinda wish I'd played it sooner, but now I got it for next to nothing and run it better than on my 360 anyway.

Yes, the best thing about Chivalry is the delay before attacking. This gives a lot of suspense.
Every move you make could possibly kill your enemy or leave you open for someone else to cut off your head.
Every move you make could be your last.
Now, I am in no way great at this game, but last night I was on a roll. Heads flyinh everywhere and me and my hammer were unstoppable.
Until my nemesis joined.
That dude was amazing. Feinting, making combos and I didnt stand even the slightest chance. The only thing I could do was block and hope some angel from the sky could save me

I probably died 5 times by the edge of his sword. This shows how much depth is in this game.
Even when you think you figured out how to play this game succesfully, someone else completely annihilates you on the battlefield
Click to expand...
It also adds to feeling random and not being in control though with the delay. Might not be this way on "high level" play, but yeah.

I am so tempted to buy Van Helsing right now. The videos look amazing, is it better or worse than Torchlight 2? Playing solo.
