Don't get the bloodsucker pack it'll change the neck snapping animation to some stupid biting one. Also besides Z style and bloodsucker, Warrior and Explosive Combat come in 4 pack with other dlc and it's cheaper overall to get them vs buying separately.
Haven't dipped on any Saint's Row 3 DLC and in the middle of playing it now. Don't care about costumes or homies. Trying to really maximize my bang for the buck, going with:
Special Ops Vehicle Pack $0.74
Maximum Pleasure Pack (FUNTIME!, Money Shot, Invincible, Shark Attack) $1.74
The Trouble With Clones $1.74
If anyone more familiar with the content wants to recommend anything else, I'd be all ears. Straight up don't like Genkibowl missions, though.

:ODid you know Snacks played this game for 50+ hours
Think I might be sold. Going wait on Arma and spend the $20 saved on other games.
I might pick up Sands of Time if when the flash goes live each game gets 75% off.

Probably already been mentioned, but a heads up to those buying Ubisoft games expecting to play them now...looks like U-play is down.
Went to play Assassin's Creed II (didn't even buy it on the sale, trying to go through my backlog) and when I tried to log into Uplay, it says password and username are not correct. Went and reset my password, and it still didn't work. Found a thread on Ubisoft's forums:
http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/691262-Uplay-tells-me-my-password-username-are-incorrect
Uplay requires that you connect before you can play if you're launching the game for the first time, so for the time being, if you buy a new Ubi game that has mandatory Uplay login, you can't play it. So stupid and frustrating.
EDIT: Found another thread that advised to spam the log in button over and over - actually worked and went through, and now I can play.

I didn't realize it was otherwise free to play. What's included in the free version?
You won't regret it.

I use the wireless dongle and simply resync my gamepad from the 360 to my pc when I want to use it. If I'm not being lazy I have a 2nd pad synced to the pc and leave my other one synced to the 360.
On another note what do you guys think of the Mount and Blade series? Napoleonic Wars reminds me a lot of the old Battlegrounds mod for Half Life but in the gameplay videos the whole series looks like there's a little bit of low budget "jankiness" and I'm trying to becareful with my wallet during this zerg rush of sales. Its not even Monday yet!
Can't recommend The Walking Dead enough, it handles choice in games better than anything else I've played and the writing/acting/characters are really fantastic. All the stuff Mass Effect and Heavy Rain have tried to do, they're nailing it. Gets under your skin, and I'm completely salivating for Episode 3 at the moment. No experience with the comic or show, either.
I did like the Darkness II demo well enough, but it's not as important a game as The Walking Dead is shaping up to be so far.

I'm interested in a Darkness II 4-pack.
Hmm... I think I will wait for next daily deal and compare. Still waiting for NFS:Shift 2 / SFxT

Normally, I download my games from Steam at approximately 3.5 MB/s, but right now it's going at 200 KB/s. Is this because 5 million people are all downloading at once and breaking Steam, or do I need to do something fancy to get my speed back up?

Playing hard to get.
In case your local servers are too slow, try changing your download region.
Steam -> Settings -> Downloads & Cloud -> Download Region.
Usually this helps.
Double check what server you are connecting to. When the Steam client updates it seems to ping the servers and change your server of choice. In my
case it always picks a much slower server (San Jose, CA) than one I am much closer to (Sacramento, CA).
Thanks!
It was more so if it lost, my wallet would be safe. But it won, and I didn't buy it on the first day so I'll need to buy it now.

Fired up MS Flight after picking up the pack o' goodies and wow, smooth as silk 5760x1080 multi-monitor widescreen goodness.
Using the 360 controller is fantastic as well. I had no idea I wanted this.

Damn steam download went to hell, the final 200mb of Orcs is DLing at 50kbs lol...
Me too!
I just purchased this aswell, but the game is not showing up in my library yet. I read on forums that this is a known issue with Microsoft Games, notably AoE Online. Have you had any waiting time after your purchase?
Here's a brief rundown of the Saints Row the Third DLC:
- Season Pass - adds three story missions, sorta like mini-expansions (includes Genkibowl VII, Gangstas in Space, Trouble with Clones DLCs)
- Everything else - adds clothes, new options for generic gang members, vehicles, and weapons.
You're best off getting the Season Pass and Shark Attack. Get any of the others only if they interest you (like, get Witches & Weiners if you want to dress like a hot dog and ride a flying broomstick).

LOL had my first "you already bought this game" message about a game I totally forgot I even had.

It doesn't show up in the library. Go find the base MS Flight in the store and download. Since it's F2P it doesn't pop in the library until you download it. At least that's how it worked for me.
Only crap part is that you have to enter in a code for each DLC into the Marketplace thing.

wasn't trine 2 a flash deal before? what are the chances that the witcher 2 will become a daily deal? also thinking about picking up the microsoft flight bundle

Forgotten Sands has the Ubisoft connection stuff. PoP 2008 has no DRM at all (well, except Steam for this version), but doesn't work with the Steam Overlay.
Yes. Everyone needs to experience Bastion anyway and it's the first time it's shown up in any place this sale.

So Saint's Row the Third...
Base game is obviously worth $12.50, but what about the DLC? Is it all so amazing that I need pick the full $25.00 pack? Or should I just pick and choose a few choice pieces of DLC?
Help me, GAF. You're my only hope.

Might be alone here, but i'd go vanilla + maybe some cheap piece like the shark gun

I know its not a simulator, but I still like that MS Flight has checklists for everything, and they are super easy to follow too, with indicaters for which switch is next and automated moving onto the next step and the ability to bring up the checklist at anytime. Very cool. Planes without cockpits are very not cool though. Don't get those.
I've satisfied another on my wishlist with Alaska Wilderness pack for that game.
