Damn. :( I really need to slow down.

Not sure how you decide which to install, unless you install them all... In which case that's sensory overload. I have 10 games installed from the sales and even that's too much, I've been uninstalling a few so I can keep focused on 2 or 3 at most. Plus, gotta read Gaf. :(

What extra stuff includes Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Deluxe?
I'm only interested on Single Player stuff, and can't find any info on the diference between this and the regular version.

So I bought "Dear Esther" I still have no clue what it is, even after watching the trailer on Steam.

Looks like a camera panning across a desolate, cloudy island, rendered with a neat graphic engine, eh...$2.50 hope it was worth it.

Trine 2 and Alan wake complete, I've been able to resist most games like batman complete pack, sam and max pack, just because I remember that I get paid the last day of the month and there are still 15 days to go =/

just buy 2. It's the best of them all and if you like it you can get the other ones by winter.

Avoid 1, it's an awful game and it has barely anything to do with the game's story moving forward

That's pretty convincing. Ended up dropping everything else except Ass Creed 2 and pick Red Faction guerrilla.

I'm just going through the games a couple at a time. Going through Pixeljunk Eden right now and trying to download Sonic Generations. I'm going through the smaller games. Quicker to finish and actually download.

This is my first Steam sale and it'll be my only one until next year's summer. Don't think I'm going to have any extra money for the winter sale so that's why I'm being so careless.

Id 5 (RAGE's engine) is built specifically for amazing visuals and smooth framerates on even the most basic of systems.

This of course is accomplished by "tricks" such as textures that are meant to be seen from afar (low res when you get close to them).

You'll run it perfectly

Thanks Salsa! Guess I will buy it then. I heard the wildest horror stories before about the game running like shit.

Anyone else getting 0 bytes/ sec on Steam when trying to download a game. It will go good for a little while and then go down to 0 for a long time. Does it on server I pick. My internet is working fine.

Figured I'd ask here since everybody is in this thread...

Trying to take a screenshot for the badge... and it's not letting me. I've taken screen shots in the past... and I know how to change the settings... I still have it as F12. I've tried in a different couple games but it's not letting me.

anybody know why?

You have to "publish" the screenshots you have taken.

Got to say, I'm pretty much set as far as the sale goes. Granted there are a few other little things I wouldn't mind but at this point I'm pretty happy with the haul.

Sonic Gen
Ass Creed Rev
Trine 1+2
Fear Complete

So like 8 games in total. Not bad for only around 35 dollars.

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?
8 more minuuuuuutes! :_:

I've picked up a few smaller titles: From Dust, Qube, Trine 2, and Clash of Heroes. Sold off my console copy of SSFIV and got the AE version on Steam. And picked up the Napoleon DLC for Warband.
