Has Lego Batman 2 been featured on the Steam sale this week other than the 25% off it currently has?

I install all of my games, just in case.
Edit: Oh, I misread your post. It's not just a Steam drive: Blizzard's stuff (minus WoW) and a couple of Origin games are on it, too.
I just bought a 3TB HDD... now I need another one. I can move some stuff onto the other 3TB, but even then I'll still have less than 100GB free, so it won't last long.
Yeah, it's PixelVision.
Edit: nvm. Thanks Jasec!
Cannot control myself. I lack a racing game in my collection.
Uplay had issues with the amount of ppl trying to play:

You're crazy :lol
Also :lol at UPlay.
"Sorry guys, our servers are busy! Gonna have to stop you from playing your singleplayer games lulz"
That and the weekend is over. :/
Funny thing is that the stuff on MY OWN wishlist has finally started to show up. Been buying everything else I never thought I'd need.

Anybody out there? Hello?
There is one thing I like about uPlay, and that is the achievement points being the currency for bonus in-game content, such as maps or vehicles. Granted, there's not a lot, but it beats paying a couple of bucks.
Look at that fucking garbage. Was this made in 1995? For fucks sake.
Whichever saves you money.
That's true. I'm busy Tue-Sat and so can only pop in just before the daily sales. That explains the slowness.
That sounds pretty cool but yea it's not much. Especially when you have shit like the servers being down and no one being able to play.
In an alternate universe, the game was a Win98 pack-in.
How should I judge a simulation style game in a screenshot? What garbage can I see here?

Like the others have said... SoT... /Answered
Edit:
Not gonna lie... I wouldn't mind some repeats
haha /selfish sobYou mean besides the UI? Besides the text outreaching the boundries of the button?
You can't really tell in that shot but besides the absurdly low res textures on the highest settings?
Besides doing tutorial #4 and having it inexplicably jump to tutorial #8 after beating it and hitting "tutorial menu"?
the fuck is this.
It's extremely low budget for their price. I like these kinds of games but jesus its like they weren't even trying.
Pretty sure if you buy the ultimate edition you'll have to download the full game. You can just transfer your saves over if you want though so it really isn't that big an issue other than having 2 NV entries in steam and having to d/l the full game again.

So, is any of Fallout New Vegas DLC any good?

Bought. Other than that, while downloading, it says Updating instead of simply Downloading.

Okay, so what New Vegas DLC do you recommend GAF?
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
3 hours into Ys Origin and I don't think this can get any better! Pro tip: play the game on hard the first time through! What an intense experience :3
edit: time to head out though unfortunately

Dunno, just about to jump in. I liked the original but this was apparently released way too early and was unplayable. But it has been patched heavily since.
There's still a lot of bugs, but at least you can play it now.
No, no, no, no, NO!
Absolutely do not give any money to those lying thieving bastards. Still not fixed, almost a year on.
Best of the bunch is Old World Blues. A lot of people also like Honest Hearts. Or you could just buy the ultimate like Bacon and get the extra weapons/armor tossed in for free.
To whoever recommended Crusader Kings 2 much earlier in this thread (it's moving so fast), thank you. I've never had so much fun losing. I mean it, all sorts of crazy shit happens and it's entraining.
My first ruler was a sickly Duke in central Europe. After two years, one marriage and one daughter, he became "incapable" and in need of a regent. I lost most of my counties. Died comatosely a year later. Daughter went on to become the Queen and a mother of five (!). Slowly claiming my counties back.

Even after tons of Bi-weekly updates over seven months: No.

It tells me I already own Ultimate but Steam says I have no DLC.

You should already have the DLC then if you own the ultimate edition. I don't know if it would show up under the DLC list on steam or how that stuff works since I just own the basic edition.

If anybody's interested in getting games from the Russian steam gifted to them, I have a friend who I have used twice and have had no problems.

Never mind. I figured out what's wrong. I have non-ultimate NV, but the sale page for Ultimate is telling me I own it because I own New Vegas.
I don't really remember the number of hours but I want to say somewhere between 4-6? YMMV termendously with that depending how you play FO:NV though.
Old World Blues is reminiscent of Portal where you're dealing with AI gone amok and making SCIENCE! style jokes. It made me chuckle and I think that's worth $2.50.
I don't have much experience with the others outside of seeing quick looks of them and deciding they didn't look good enough to warrant purchasing. I may cave before the deal is up and buy Honest Hearts though since some other people have been recommending it.
Try restarting Steam
All the four DLCs took me about 50h. You can expect each to last over
The DLCs have separate stories from the main game but have references to some of the characters. All of them offer very distinct experiences from the main game. They have more weapons, items, perks, some fantastic quests and characters.

Do I get New Vegas...I haven't put much time into 3 because it crashed on me and I rage quitted and forgot to go back. NV looks like a game I'd enjoy more because of the setting but I don't know...
Also, any of the X games worth checking out? I don't think I'd want the entire collection.

Holy damn @ how good Pixeljunk Eden is on PC. I played it a lot on PS3 even though I always found controls a bit frustrating, but with a mouse it's even more awesome, it's like it was born to be played like this. Also they didn't just port the game but tweaked some stuff (plants already bloomed stay bloomed until you find all the seeds in the garden, so you don't have to play all over again the same stages like on PS3; you're instantly take to every new garden you unlock, another nice feature; not sure there are more, the game gradually unlock features and I'm not sure the PS3 version did).
I really suggest EVERYONE to grab it asap but I also wanted to address PS3 owners and fan of the original directly: if you're unsure whether to double dip, by all means do. The conversion is really worth the (ridiculous) price.

That's basically it. Cities XL are so damn expensive even though everything about them shouts LOW BUDGET, they could be acceptable at really cheap prices but they're usually priced like AAA titles. Crazy.
