I hope it does go on sale in one of those days left.

I mean, I'll pay the $7.50 if It doesn't end up as a daily deal. But I'd like to see it hit $5 as I don't have a job right now, dangit. That's another 2.50 I could spend on another game!

There's a list of DLC/In-game items that you can redeem with three tickets. Also, each ticket acts as an entry into the "Win the top 10 items on your wishlist" sweepstakes.

Thank you!

I wish Steam had Psi-Ops, man. I want to play that game again.

Edit - Salsa are you blocking gifts or something? I been tryin' since last night to gift you something but authorization would fail. When I bought stuff in TF2 a minute ago it worked fine.

Rain is a space bar spell so neither? Just put in the right combo and press space(when you get the book to drop that is).
Oh, it's a space bar spell. Do I have to keep killing magic chests until I get the "Rain Book"?

Sorry, first time with the game.

Why I'm not busting my hump on these things.

The snorkels seem like cute (but worthless) barbie items. This is my #1 item. Next is the Beat Hazard DLC. Then I can kind of talk myself into the TF 2 glasses and Men of War DLC. After that I fall off a cliff and want nothing. That's 12 tickets to get everything I have any feelings for. 1 ticket a day is what I need for those unambitious goals:)

Same here, I got the glasses and I'll probably get the Portal 2 snorkels and the free game, and then I'm done.

Yes. Either Rain or Blizzard.

Once you get it, jsut spam it 20 times and bam, achievement.

ProTip: Make a Cold Shield (RE middle mouse button) and you won't freeze yourself (and become insanely slow) with the Blizzard.

If you do, however, just burn yourself once with fire and middle mouse button and you're good to go.

wtf, my magicka download was at 50% and then it just completely reset itself back to 0%

I wouldn't worry about that. Every now and then that happens to me but even though it looks like it reset it didn't. Whatever is left of the download will finish and then it'll complete even if the meter only shows half way or whatever. Don't know what causes that but it doesn't seem to harm anything.

Right now I've got Plants vs Zombies, AVP + DLC, and Darksiders in my cart. Anything else of note on sell (not interested in Super Meat Boy)?

So, the Magicka achievement, do I have to cast Rain 20 times against an opponent in a versus match? Or do have have to Rain cast upon ME 20 times in a versus match?

Cast it or have it cast on you.

Third day and I've only bought one $2.50 game. I think I might randomly gift a cheap game to a GAFfer on my friends list.

YES! Civ V works on my laptop! The cutscene at the beginning crashes though. At least I think it does (I can't imagine it ending where it ended). Also, is there anyway to skip past the cutscene?
 
WTF These are great games, I am interested in and haven't played yet (except for the Darksider's Demo on PSN a while back, I loved it, it was one helleva amazing (and long)demo)

Super meatboy 7.49

Alien vs Predator $5
Darksiders $5
Bioshock 2 $5


I wish Super Meatboy was $5 too so it can be a nice rounded $20, shall I get these games GAF? what do you think? are they all worth playing and beating?

Are any of these games gonna be cheaper than this? sorry I know I sound like a cheap skate, but yeah if Meatboy five bucks else where, I wants it.

Also, which one has a better, more interesting solo campaign GAF? Battlefield 2 or Alien vs Predators?

I am strictly interested in playing the solo campaign for these games, so don;t give me your opinion the multi-player which one should I go for out of those two?

I think it is loading while that cut scene is playing so it wont skip it even though you pressed esc and all them buttons until it is done loading. It also caused trouble on my laptop but works fine on my deskop.

I too hate this game and will join you in your disdain for it.

Eh, I hated it back during the Potato ARG but playing it again now, I don't hate it as much. It's not a bad game.

It's an exercise in frustration, isn't it?

I think it's the way you seem to be covered in springs, and bounce for miles uncontrollably whenever you hit something. Plus, no gamepad support. It really irks me that they haven't patched them in yet.

A crying shame, too, since the concept and presentation had such potential.

But hey, at least I got it for super-cheap in a previous Sale, so no tears here.

I cannot believe how much money is being wasted here on these games when I'm sure most of these users have cheap, $2.50 titles on their wishlist. :p
