Alright, here's how it's going to work.

First person to post a good excuse why they missed the Ys Origin flash deal that reeeaaally wants the game, like play it ASAP want it and not backlog want it, wins the game.

I'm not sure I have a really great reason other than I assumed the steam app would of worked while I was out :(
Had I known it was Origins on flash deal I would of made sure a friend or something bought it for me so I could pay him when I got back. I wanted to try the game since I played Ys 7 on PSP, which was awesome!

I missed it because I was out for most of the time it was on sale. Depending on the download size and how long it takes to download I'd play it tonight.

Edit: I'm too late!
 
For the new Ys people that will be playing with a controller, here is my setup:

Yssetup2.png


The main things I changed were "Attack" and "Use Magic," I think. Jump is A (using 360 controller) and Use Magic is RB. By default, I think "Use Magic" was Y, which made it really hard to do the charged magic attacks (hold Y) and jumping to release it. I switched "Attack" from B to X, mainly since I'm used to X for attacking in games, but that's all entirely up to you, of course.

You'll most likely have to play the game with the default keys first to figure out what's what and change accordingly, but I think my setup is pretty good if you want to follow it.

Thanks for this, I'm going to experiment with the controls for a bit and see what feels best.

guys is the price for witcher 2 likely to get any lower?

It might. At it's current price it is a great deal, but it is a regular sale price. There is plenty of time for it to go on a daily sale, community or a flash sale. I would say wait until the last day of the sale..if it does not get cheaper, you still get it at a good price.

probably but I bought it anyway.

I don't get that, the game won't cost you more if you wait a couple of days and you would probably have saved a few bucks. It's just silly to pay for it now and not wait a few days since you've waited this long to get the game.
 
Well, for me, I missed it because I had to drive a friend to the hospital for an emergency and was stuck there the whole time. By the time I had got home and ensured he was fine and got his meds the sale was over. That is why I missed it.


Same as this guy, except it was 2 senior citizens and an orphan that I had to take to the hospital.

I'm just kidding, and I do not want the game.

Wanna hear a good joke? Waste your time helping me! LOL!
Between Ys Origin and the other Ys (The Oath one), which do you guys think is the better game?
 
We are still looking for 2 people who want Renegade Ops 4pack

Preferably from Europe, since if I remember correctly, you need to transfer more than 5$ if you live outside Europe or did they change it?

Sorry, what? I'm playing witcher 2 right now.

Thanks to the genoristy of Chaosblade, I am going to pay it forward.

I will be buying a 4 pack (U.S.) of Renegade Ops in the next few minutes. First 3 people to PM me...let's see..what I can ask for.

1. The name of all 4 Members of U2?
2. The Album Title of the U2 Album that has a Tree in it's name?
3. The name of the U2 album that has a german word as the first word of the album title?
4. Which Fruit (Yes, Fruit) Did U2 Emerge out of during the POP Mart Tour?

Yes it is a goofy thing to ask, but giving away free games and asking for something goofy to do to get them is all in the fun of it.

First 4 users to PM the correct answers get's a copy of Renegade Ops.
