It was pretty hilarious when Bohemias shitty helicopter game was a flash sale. We should all buy it in case someone makes a good mod for it someday
From every video I've seen of the game, you're going to be literally invincible and ridiculously over powered by the end of game anyway. I don't think you're going to be playing the game for any sort of challenge, just outright mayhem.

considering all the dlc for it is ~$10 even with 50% off. and it all adds up to aronud ~$1000, you gotta take what you can.

Don't worry, it's not gonna make a huge difference. You're gonna start getting XP and money so fast before long that it won't even matter.

Hey, any good sales on Amazon for Steam?

Thanks, claimed the 2nd one.
It's not over until it's over. Honestly, I'm out of idea what to get.
SR3 on sale from Amazon tomorrow for $9.99.
My understanding is that Bohemia hired Rocket (the DayZ mod creator) as a coder for ARMA III and he began working on his mod after he was an employee there. Might be wrong on the exact timeline (I know he explains in the TotalBiscuit interview on YouTube), but he was definitely already a Bohemia person by the time DayZ picked up momentum.
I'm wondering exactly what would happen to DayZ if it (EDIT: sorry, if ARMA II:CO) goes on sale -- like, are the servers solid enough yet to handle the sort of load that a 50% off pricepoint would create. My assumption is a resounding "fuck no". If that's the case, might Bohemia be concerned about the poor user experience that a sale would create?

I'll claim the first one, since no one is jumping on it.
Thank you!
LOL I got the 1st one I think but it turns out I already had it. 'Nother steam collection moment.
Sorry that I'm bumping this, but eh I thought I would ask one more time

I've bought remarkably little, which can be chalked up to unanticipated auto repairs. An already gargantuan backlog has made it bearable, though. There are still a few days left, so I may still yet find something that I have to have.

Sounds like the plan. Anyone know: If I re-order, will they drop the first game to me right away or is it tied to the sequel's release?
Planning to pick up the Ys games by the end even if they are not discounted further. Just trying hard not to spend more before then, but I already picked up JC2 and Dear Esther last night. -_-

I'm waiting on Civ V God and Kings and Burnout Paradise. Otherwise I've just about covered everything I want.

I fixed this by moving everything temporarily out of common, starting steam, closing steam, then deleting all of the .ncf files out of the steamapps directory, then moving the game folders back into common, starting steam, now I have to individually reinstall and let steam discover game content. Good times, seems all those .ncf files got corrupted somehow.

Way to be helpful there, junior..
I'm not sure what you mean by "your resolution" but if it's a widescreen fix well there's one but you have to replace the game's .exe.

It seems like it's mostly for trolling close friends or for train manias.

What's the deal with Shadowgrounds? I'm seeing it all over Steamgifts.
The widescreen mod supports most common resolutions.
Note that you have to both run the mod and put some files into the override folder to adjust the HUD.
Make sure "hardware mouse" is enabled in the settings or your cursor may be improperly bounded.
And yes you will have to replace the .exe file
LOL at the idea that it's scummy to not offer a further discount on a game that's already tearing up the sales charts with only 20% off. They'd be giving money away.
If it ends up going on sale I'm guessing it's because they had a contract for the sale already and couldn't get out of it or something like that.

The correct answer would be "Just 'cause".
If we're being practical it's probably the best way to do it. By then, at the very least, DayZ will be more mature and less buggy. At best the standalone version will be announced, pricing structure disclosed, and maybe even in playable alpha.
But this is Steam sale and prudence can get the fuck out. :3
edit: FUCK no ArmA II again. Goddamnit

I've got plenty play but I always go through phases of what I want to do. Diablo 3 is in that mix as well... Still, might be fun to fool around with and I won't feel bad about purchasing it if it's just a bonus for the sequel. At least this is what I tell myself.

FINALLY STALKER SALES!
Now, waiting for ARMA2, like everybody else

thanks. shitty browser at work not even loading the flash correctly.
Fuck you Volition for you shitty SR3 DLC. I just tried the last one, with the Clones, and FUCK it's again the same shitty almost unwinnable car chase where you have 6 thousands of guys and vehicles shooting at you and you must somehow prevent the car from exploding. Yrah, because you're not driving at all actually, you're just there to fire rockets at things, rockets that will hurt you anyway since enemies are too close.
FUCK YOU. It's neither interesting nor fun, it's just goddamn annoying, FAR too long for what it is, and of course when the vehicle eventually explodes, you have to start all over again.
And worse is that I already did that shit in the two previous DLCs.

I should look through my recent post history and find out how many times I've made that joke.
WHY?
FUCKED IF I KNOW
