Alright thanks.. I was sure it was either a flash deal or a vote (which it lost).

How does GAF feel about RAGE for under $10 vs FEAR 3 for under 5?
Leaning toward Rage... The original FEAR was fun...

So, just out of curiosity, who on GAF has the biggest Steam collection? I just passed 250 (currently at 253), which is a stupid amount. I've probably only ever booted up 10% of those.
Who else has a ridiculously large Steam collection?
Definitely RAGE. It's fantastic.

Bollocks. While rushing to buy SR3 I input the wrong date of birth and its locked me out. Thats what I get for not paying attention I guess.

Was tempted to grab an Assassin's Creed game, but the Uplay shenanigans last weekend and the knowledge that another one is coming out in November has kinda put me off. Looks like I might get away with going 24 hours without buying anything, pending flash deals.
Joe Molotov is high up there.

LOL are you kidding? You're probably in the bottom 25% of Steam-GAF, collection size wise.
I usually just go 1/1/XXXX. Only one thing to change and whoopdedoo. Day only really matters if you're borderline.
What uplay shenannigans? I am not aware.

Damage so far. I don't remember what I paid for any of this. Is there somewhere that shows the pricing detail on my profile?

Well, I'll probably end up getting Metro 2033 today, as well as Cave Story from the Flash deal, and pick up Serious Sam 3 from yesterday's deal.
I think that'll finish me up for the summer, most likely.

Man, it feels bad to log in after a bunch of hours and meet a completely undesired set of Dailies and Flashes.
Only thing really interesting for me is the Mirrors Edge vote which I can't get through. Thought I would buy Cave Story to see what the fuss is all about but that's not available for purchase in the iOS app for some reason.. bah

I'd be surprised if it wasn't Joe Molotov with the largest collection.
I didn't think I would be buying much this Steam sale, if it wasn't for the Flash and Vote deals I likely wouldn't have purchased any daily deals beyond that one indie pack I picked up.

I have less than 150. I have a will of iron.
That doesn't sound so good, thank you

There's also the small fact that each individual bit of DLC gets counted as a game on the Steam Profile page. For example, I currently has 310 games according to the front page of my Steam profile. However, if you click through to my games collection, you'll find they only list 211 items. Discount the mods, Borderland DLC and demos that somehow got stuck in there, and I'm looking at about 200 games.

Clutch is never in these sales. The publisher croak or something?
Know it's supposed to be mediocre, but I want a cheapo Carmageddon-ish thing. No one else's doing anything about it.

Ok Assassin creed time for people that are asking for opinions:
-Assassins Creed 1 DONT BUY IT, is awful, terrible and repetitive. The story is bad, Altair is mr anticharisma, the fighting is horrible, the cities are the worse in the saga and the objectives and missions are repetition after repetition. The only good thing about it is marvel when you start playing AC2 and see how is such an improvement from this piece of shit. Read the story from a wiki if you are interested.
-Assassins Creed 2 IS FUCKING GREAT, gets all what 1 did wrong and makes it work. You will have a blast going around Italy's most famous towns and cities, with plenty of monuments and history to discover. Ezio is so fun as a character, it shits all over his predecessor and the story is also really entertaining and good. Even the Desmond parts are great with two new characters, Rebecca, the nerd girl, and Shaun, the british guy.
-Assassin Creed Brotherhood my favourite of them all, Rome is the most amazing setting in any AC. The story is really awesome, with great set pieces and characters. Lots of surprises if you are fan of the second game. Ezio even controls better than in 2.
The "dungeons" are also enchanced from AC2. Then you have the brotherhood system that blends with the story and is really fun to use.
However there is a perfect mission thing that can drive nuts to completitionists like me, I did it, but is not pleasent, beat the missions only, if you have a perfect good for you, if not, pass to the next thing.
And of course it has the multi, I only played some hours, but from what I played it was really fun.
-Assassins Creed Revelations is not really that bad, but its not great. Its only good. Constantinople even with some good buildings (Santa Sofia being the best one) feels more like AC1 cities than the marvels of 2 and BH. Then it has and awful defense tower minigame. Desmond parts are horrible.
The main story and villians are not interesting in the slightlest.
BUT it has reedeming factors, the "dungeons" are even better than in Borthehood, the music is one of the best of the series, and even if the main story is not that good, Ezio's own story is awesome with Sofia's parts being the best of the game storywise. And it ends Ezio's story (well you have to watch also an animation you will probably find in youtube), and even makes Altair's character better than in his own game, what is an accomplishment.
SO THE SUMMARY IS:
-Pass Assassin creed 1
-Buy 2 and Botherhood at any cost
-Wait to the christmas sales to buy Revelations as it will probably will have gone down in price.

That was Origin, not Oath.
And I broke 200 games a couple months ago, but I'll admit over half of them came from bundles, Steam or ones that had codes like Humble, Gala, or whatever.

I asked this in the community thread but it seems like everyone is hanging out here so...
Just picked up Arkham City in the Steam sales. I'm getting horrible chugging when I enter a new area and spin the camera around for the first time. After that, 60fps. Any ideas?
