Speedrunners was only ever a choice in a community vote right? I'm holding off on Cloudbuilt hoping for Speedrunners to pop up again.

Well I put a some points in for green, not that it matters since this is so obviously rigged.

Also I don't like these sale gimmicks... Just put the games on display and be done with it.

Or at least come up with a gimmick that leads to more games or bigger discounts.
 
I'd still get it. Just mentioning it because of all the remastered old rts games I'm seeing.

As for this sale I want a better discount on Age of Myth and a discount on Rise of Nations:) That would be awesome!

considering westwood studios is dead and seeing how red alert 3/C&C4 turned out i'm sure EA would find some way to screw it up

Yeah, the Summer Sale 2012 gimmick was cool, afair. I wouldn't mind a repeat of that.

Yeah, that game is pure great.
I'm terrible at it, but it's still fun to fail.

Yeah at first it was a real headscratcher, I wasn't even earning enough coin to get even the basic upgrades. Now I'm getting a nice run most times, finding the Lich class helps a lot for getting further into it.

Great game though.

There's supposed to be a Pinball Arcade promo going on right now where you can purchase a "starter pack" of tables from within the game for a penny, IIRC. (I'm glad someone mentioned it again - I'd almost forgotten.)

Interesting, I had no idea.

Downloading the game now, but I might as well ask, can you pay with Steam wallet/Does the DLC get registered within Steam?

If you buy a 4-pack what happens? Do you get 4 'gifts' in your inventory?

No, you get one game added to your account and 3 gifts in your inventory.
 
The developers' commentary gives nice insight. If you didn't hate the game then give it a go. It works similiarly to Valve's developer commentary modes.

Cool, I think I'll check this out eventually.

Another thing about Gone Home was that
I was expecting a ghost any minute :lol
 
This is one of those times I wish Steam had a 24 hour return policy. Grabbed Cloudbuilt and it just does NOT work on my computer at all. I know I technically could go through customer service but going through that hassle and wasting my one forgiveness policy on a 3 dollar game is pointless.

Finished Gone Home in less than 90 minutes. Game was ok for me but I was actually expecting more about the story.

Not bad for $2.99 though.
Did you pick up on the
father's story involving the uncle and how it affected his life and relationship with the mother (his wife) and his father?
One of the most effective and subtly told stories in gaming.

Yeah it's the kind of game (GONE HOME SPOILERS)
where you expect something dramatic to be at the end. Maybe be it a body or whatever. That never comes though.

I probably should have sold all my summer cards given that the rewards I got for crafting the badges were garbage. But at least I didn't spend any real money, and I've still got $4.50 left in my wallet.

No, I didn't. I think I missed a lot of stuff actually, I was almost running around the house :lol

Steam downloads games witch patches already included.

Thank god. It annoys to me to no end when consoles do it in a fashion where first you download the game and each time you try to boot the game it starts downloading a new update. That's so archaic it's not even funny. Not sure if it's better with PS4 and XBONE.

Tell me about it, the first time I launched LBP2 on PS3, I was greeted by some 3/4GB of patches, after downloading 15GB of the base game.

You're going to laugh, but remember uPlay and GFWL?
