Shit I hate flash deals...but thanks
you can try getting in touch with some of the gaffers who are willing to help with gifting. They're listed at the bottom of the OP. Im sure some of them wouldn't mind a 2 hour delay on payment considering how helpful they've been

You can also buy games with the SteamApp if you have an iPhone or Android.
Yeah, thought about that, but I won't bother (myself or anyone else kind enough to help) that much, I played the game on console already and am in no hurry to replay it, this will surely go back on sale sooner or later
I do, no wi-fi at reach and I fled the data-subbscription when I saw the price for 3G in Belgium
I tried X3 a couple of years ago but i couldn't make heads or tails of it even with a guide. Probably would have liked it if i put in the necessary time but i couldn't bring up the patience back then.
Speaking of space games, i wish Starlancer and Freelancer were available on Steam.

Like Joe says; I would go with X3 first. If you enjoy it you can always grab the rest in the next sale (as they are always in the big sales). Whereas if you find them not to your liking you've only lost a couple of quid.
They're on GOG. Happy gamingMan I got super excited when I saw Legacy of Kain then I realized it was just DLC.
I wish at least Defiance was on steam since I have no idea what happened to my old disc.

I don't have any problems helping others myself, as some here would testify, but honestly, hit me with a PM first. I've been getting a lot of Steam invites, and I don't know if they're randoms or not, so I have a tendency to turn them down. No offense to those from here who I've maybe turned down. But leave me a PM with something you'd like and I should be able to help others, but do understand that I'm on Hawaiian time.
I imagine it will be 9.99 in europe like the other indie bundles, Steams 1 = $1 bullshit in action

You can buy it trough the browers at work and it will be their on your account.
You do not have to use the steam software to buy things.
Could that help?
Well, it´s not yet released.

What is this, bandwidth for ants?
Probably only one server in Europe that has it. It is probably quite excited somebody is downloading from it now.
Tough decision on NV. I have the game but the DLC alone cost more than UE -_-". Are all DLC worth playing or at least worth their prices?
This Flash deal is killing me left and right, 8 hour span really gets on my nerve and push me to spend more than I should. On that note, good job whoever came up with this idea. You bastard.

One server in Europe, hosted by two drunk hamsters tumbling about their respective wheels that power an ISDN connection.
we get it man whatever youve got kangaroos and koalas
i'll trade you a baby koala for my bandwith <3
Strangely enough, NeoGaf and Facebook aren't blocked...but Steam website is
Anyway, not a big deal, no must buy for me, I'm just bothered about these flash sales that leaves people sleeping/working out in the cold...
Pretty sure it's a separate app.
LOL you're right! I kept seeing the price on my wishlist so I was convinced it was already out, my bad.
If I had to regret anything so far (not that I do) it would probably be Ys Origin.
Dont get me wrong, im sure i'll like it, but I wanna get and finish Felghana first since I never did on PSP and im gonna be burned out by then. By the time I start playing Origin it'll probably be cheaper (guessing christmas sale).
Nitpicking I know, but budget be low. At least I supported Falcom

You have no one to blame but yourself.
Everyone here who has a limit only thinks they do. You'll scrounge up all the scraps you can get, money-wise, because you're a filthy, filthy person.

Is Cities XL any good? The graphics look awesome (in the trailer), but is it any fun to play?
Sands of Time. It's easily the best even if the graphics are kinda dated. If you can't stand that you can buy The Forgotten Sands but you won't be able to play since Ubisoft's servers are offline and you need to register the game with them to play it.
Sands of Time is great as a stand alone game. It really didn't need the other two sequels.

Two Thrones was also really good, though SoT would certainly be my first recommendation.
I hate it when people accuse the X series of being stat heavy. Its the furthest thing from the truth.
Its almost as if people mean to take their own inability to learn the interface and gamestyle and then transfer it into an accusation of it being a spreadsheet game.
Bollocks!
Yes its hard to get into.
Yes its not for the masses.
Yes its complicated.
Yes the interface could have been better designed.
Yes pre-patch the games tend to be buggy.
BUT!
Its epic.
Its beautiful.
The modding scene is lively.
Its a time sink.
Its just fucking wonderful.
Although I love the series and would love to recommend the Superbox I can't. X3: Terran Conflict. and Albion Prelude are the newest/finest offerings. The older ones are for those that don't mind it not being so pretty but are still all great games.
What do you guys think of Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box? Saw a quick gameplay looks decent but still not totally sure on it yet. It's 4.99(UK price) right now. Also it does not say controller enabled on the store page either.
I don't care much about serious racing or online but just something I can enjoy single player mission/challenges or something similar.

Guys and girls, think of it this way: Every dollar you spend finances GabeN's plan for gaming world domination. You're not just buying games, you're donating to the cause!
What about X3: Reunion? Should i concentrate on Terran and Albion and uninstall Reunion to make space for other games?
I'm guessing it's because most people have the games they want now.
With dailies, flash sales, votes and normal sales, most wanted games have been reduced by a lot. Don't see how they'll fill in the remaining days without even more huge repeats.
That being said, the thread is still pretty freaking lively.
What is this, bandwidth for ants?
No, bandwidth *by* ants. There should be a steady stream of ants delivering packets into your computer. Unfortunately, Cyl's flambeed many of them, resulting in a vast quantity of dropped packets.
How the hell do you have so much?
Ah, of course!
I just bought 1 TB drive. Better last. Right now I have around 300GB. Still have to install a load of my sale games though.

JaseC.. you really splurged this time round :O

Is this an updated steam program? Mine doesn't look like that.
