Two things.
So using gamesavemanager is there anyway to automatically sync my saves up to my google drive? I have it setup to go there, but for instance if I save in Skyrim will it automatically go to the could without me manually syncing it?
I am guessing that now is the time to buy anything that hasn't been a daily/flash deal since tomorrow will be recaps of the best deals? If so recommendations?

yeah sorry if that's the case :X just wanted to show off the kindness
Something new happen? I was about to buy it
Sheit, I'm kind of interested in the Dawn of War and Command and Conquer games.
I didn't care for Dawn of War 2, but the original Dawn of War seems like a good RTS. C&C RA3 looks interesting too, but I haven't heard great things about it.
What says GAF about these games?

Yeah, I wasn't sure if I should mention the names of generous GAFers or not.
Not really, EVERYONE played AoE. Including the "average gamer" who doesn't read GAF. It was a huge series back in the day, while King's Bounty is basically unknown. HoMM is pretty big but still AoE is bigger.

The games I wanted didn't go on sale again. :-(
Maybe next sale.
Maybe next sale.
I'm actually hoping no megaton sales go on for these last few hours of today, through tomorrow. I ended up with $120ish in my Steam wallet through random encounters with money and I'm down to $5. This has been a fantastic sale season.

Two questions....
1) Is Divinity 2 Controller COmpatible
2) Does the Steam Sale end at Midnight Local time or is there a time that it just ends regardless?
I have a few games for friends I need to get, but waiting for a response from them, but heading out to BBQ in about 15min and wont be back until 9pm tonight, so just wondering if the sale ends at a certain time.
Thanks!

Well shit
Hmm so if I have to choose between both King's Bounty games I should probably just get the newer one?
Anyone?

I was hoping Stacking or Lone Survivor would go on sale a bit cheaper. I've already blown my budget for the sales.
I think it goes through the 22nd. Whatever time, it will be Pacific Standard Time.

Yeah, definitely.
Huh? The most popular franchise the most unlikely winner?
Bummer about King's Bounty, loved that game (Armored Princess).

Is AoE III worth the 9.99 price point? I do actually want to try out the game, but I also want to save my money for when (and if) Shogun 2 and M&B: Warband goes on sale again. Decisions decisions...
Get Heroes of Might and Magic 6 instead.

Bought Rayman Origins. I was going to get Arma II, but I could see myself getting bored with Day Z after a while. Hope it's good!

I never see anyone so much as mention it.

Yeah, Origin doesn't have a world map or anything. The whole game takes place in Darm Tower, which is separated into multiple different dungeons with plot interludes here and there.
It is no Red Alert 2 but in my opinion it is the best modern C&C game.

mannnn one more day for Ys: Oath!
I grabbed Oath when I saw it, but I'm hoping Ys: Origin will show up before the sale's end. I missed it the first time around.

I'm wondering the same thing. It seems like there's a bunch of standalone expansions and the base game. What's good, what's bad? I'm not really up for getting the franchise pack, but I might get one of the $5 things.
You're all forgetting about Dupy!
I actually added Xelios cause he's from Neogaf and I want to gift him something he doesn't have.
I wouldnt be surprised if HoMM6 gets Steamplay eventually. All of Ubisofts other stuff makes its way over to Mac like Conviction and Assassin Creed 2/Brohood

For what it's worth, AoE 3 is a lot less likely to get a discount again for some time. Especially not a 75% discount. Whereas the other 2 games you mentioned go on sale all the time. And they're both Steamworks games AFAIK, so you can pick them up from any site that puts it on sale. If you are interested in Age 3, you should probably get it.
Holy shit Total War Shogun 2 is hardcore. Do the tutorial...got it, then the campain throws me into a totally different, more Civ-y situation. Dunno what to do at all. At least to start with, I need a voice or something telling me and guiding me with what to do, and how to do it.
Pretty sure I've seen Xelios make posts indicating otherwise.
Edit:
Never mind I have an illusive memory.

Edit: gone!
I will take the Serious Sam 3 one. I got a backlog at the moment and would buy at a later date.
Yeah it certainly doesn't get mentioned a lot (especially around here), but AoE as a series is easily more popular than both of the others together, Heroes has very dedicated fans but still kind of niche, and nobody knows King's Bounty
And the votes so far have pretty much shown that it's more about big names than about the games on vote themselves.
All this Xelios talk has me feeling bad. I have to bow down to Mr Elysia from here & GAF Steam chat as the most generous and selfless person I know around these parts; he doesn't even have a wishlist and keeps all his gifting on the down low. It's definitely an honor knowing him as he's an awesome dude in general. He probably wouldn't want his name here but that's too bad.
I plan on making a post to thank everyone else as the sale closes. I get quite a few gifts in return (my master plan!), and although a few names get thrown around a lot there are a lot of unsung heroes and the generosity is contagious during these sales.
Someone mentioned Arken who's a great dude. He gifted me Kingdoms of Amalur when it came out, which I promptly played and loved, and he's still a friend to this day. Never brings it up or wants anything in return. =)
Pretty sure my penis disagrees!

Thanks! I'll be picking up Drakensang from that list. Will wait until tomorrow, maybe it'll be a daily.
Still waiting for ArmA, though...
