If anyone already doesn't have The binding of Isaac you can get the base game+ expansion and soundtrack for £1.73. For a game that can easily last you 90 hours that's a pretty good deal.

I am so happy! After a brutal first day nothing I want right now! On a side note if you switch your speaker config to stereo in windows and then go back into TFU sound now works. Unfortunatly the 60 FPS unlocker is not Steam compatible. Luckily I own the retail version!

What time is it?
I would, but don't plan to over the next month or two (I mean, I WILL be buying a bunch of games) and if it ends up cheaper for the Fall or Winter Sales before I even start it I'll be kicking myself for sure.

I think Sonic Generations has been on sale for $7.50 on Amazon anyway so waiting might not hurt.

If I didn't already own Botanicula, I'd pickup that indie bundle in a heartbeat. Two days without a purchase but maybe a flash sale will catch my eye. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Dear Esther.

Yesterday dailies are still up, seems like all daily sales last 36 hours this time aroud, very generous timing.

Is the Casino Nights DLC for Sonic Generations worth picking up?

So... Max Payne 3 for $22.49? And all I had to do was wait 2 weeks? Oh fuck, I feel like crying :(

Nah, it was well worth the $30, and Amazon totally deserved that sale, if only because of Tony and his awesomeness.
 
I'm conflicted on Isaac. Everyone says it's good but it's art just looks so terrible.
As someone who had the same sentiment looking at the game at a glance, I gave it a chance during the Winter Sale, and, well

The music is also really good.

So this makes three, anyone else want in?

Can anyone help me with sf4ae? :( Not available on my region. I don't have paypal too. I will gift you some other game of similar value. I will draw you a SF character of your choice too if that helps. :(
Can we gift people in different region? Or accept gift that is not available on your region?

Got Wrath of The Lamb DLC for myself and a friend. The game is really good guys! It's quite addicting and cute in a disturbing way.

Might bite on the Tribes starter pack...

Where are you seeing that? Its 50% off unless its cheaper in another region I'm in the US.
 
BoI DLC for 0,49€. So bought.

Also, a PSA about Sonic Generations: Time attack is broken since the last patch. You can only play a few levels and if you just try to select some of the latter ones the game crashes. This prevents you from getting an achievement, so for a cheevo whore like myself it really sucks.

The game is great, but it looks like SEGA doesn't care and won't do anything to fix this. What's worse, the game always displays the 360 buttons (even if you play with KB/M) and there are a couple of challenges that crash randomly very often, but beatable nonetheless.

Also, I find Space Marine's matchmaking piss poor. You have to choose between three queues: One for the original maps and one for each DLC's maps plus the originals. I bought the Chaos Unleashed map pack, and I don't think I've seen most of the new maps yet because it's so hard to find a public match with those levels. And the Exterminatus extra level and its achievements... I don't even want to begin talking about that.

Did the issues From Dust had at launch ever get worked out? I recall there being a locked framerate, bad DRM, and terrible mouse and keyboard controls.

no, but i think it's a interesting game worth the few euros/dollars.
i bought it full price back then and didn't regret it (but in hindsight, i should have waited for reviews :p )

the game itself is great, the technical aspects not so much

edit: and i played with a controller, better then m/kb in this case imo
 
Does the Isaac expansion add anything to the vanilla game, like items? Or is all the new stuff entirely separate?

The expansion adds a TON of new content. Over 100 new items, new alternate chapters, new enemies, achievements, ten challenges. It's not a standalone expansion and is active at all times after purchase (cannot be disabled or turned off). Absolutely worth it.

The only other game on Steam that I've sunk more hours into is L4D2. Needless to say, I've enjoyed playing it.

You're 5, but if the other guys go ahead and since you can't get the game I'm willing to drop out. I'll just get it for $10.

Sucks that this happens every year.

Pretty good day..

I would recommend BoI to everyone, great game. Space Marine and Sonic rock too and the Tribes pack is a good deal.

I think I might get the second indie bundle for just Splice and Oil Rush, wish I could give the other copies away :/

And goddamn Anno 2070 I want to buy you so bad but $25 is juuuuuuuuust a little more than I want to pay. 50% isn't too bad of a discount, the game just shouldn't still be full retail price, I'll wait to see what tomorrow's sales are before I decide.

Yep, stuck at 49/50 :( (i think it's 50)
