I have 3 games total on Steam and I've beaten 1 and in the process of beating 1 more so I'll be 2/3. Have to say I'm doing pretty good so far.

Is all of the Magicka DLC just map/item packs? Thinking of buying the complete pack but none of the DLC I saw seemed worthwhile, and I just want to play the campaign so I won't use any maps. Should I just get the base game, or is there any DLC worth spending a few extra bucks on?

Just get the Vietnam DLC. The rest is worthless.

I bought the Half Life complete pack. Saved about 3 dollars over orange box, but since I already have Portal and Team Fortress 2 is now free, I think I came out better for it, especially since the former includes Half Life 1. I've also bought Oblivion. Competition is a great thing however, since it seems I've been purchasing just as much, if not more from services such as Direct 2 Drive and GamersGate. Recently bought the Witcher 2 off of amazon for $38.

I'm using an HD5850 like yourself and it runs fine on my setup, so you should be good on the video card end.

Ever since this sale has started, Steam's been a crashy asshole. I think it's got something to do with all the updates and downloads.

Chat was great fun!

Ended up buying PvZ, seems like something I'll actually play instead of just sitting there, but who knows, perhaps I'm just a sucker for how colourful it is.

Hurrrr hurrr.

Been trying to start Super Meat Boy for around 20 minutes now after everything has downloaded, keep getting crashes and 'not available'. Pretty stupid.

Imagine steam sales initiating a ripple effect where everyone gotta be making sweet deals or lose everything to steam.
I love the smell of capitalism in the morning.

So I can download the digital version of New Vegas from steam after activating the game with a retail CD key?
Click to expand...

It is a Steamworks game, you are forced to register it on Steam to play it at all. After that it's like any other Steam game.

Wow, so then after downloading I won't need the disk then huh? The last PC retail game I bought was RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 so this is all news to me!

Got new vegas for $8 because I had a couple bucks left over on a gift card. I already own the 360 version but ive always wanted to see what Fallout is like on PC.

Yep. Toss the disc if you want.

It doesn't use GFWL either, BB probably got an old graphic or something.

I played FO3 on PS3 and I'm playing NV on PC.

Playing on PC is much, much better.

I didn't think it was too bad actually. Huge game. Think the reviews made it out to be worse than it is because it's quite playable, handling model is fine, visuals aren't amazing but still solid.

Music is bloody awful though.

When is the Game of the Year Edition of New Vegas expected to come out?
Click to expand...
I wouldn't expect it until next year at least, they've only released 2/5(4?) of the DLC. Next one comes July 19th if I'm not mistaken.

Edit: 2/4 then. With that in mind, it could hit late this year then. Fallout 3 GOTY came out a year and a few days after its release for comparisons sake, so I don't see why New Vegas couldn't follow suit.

For as big as Just Cause 2 is, I'm amazed at how awesome the travel feels. I can be impatient but I did one of the earlier missions that involved riding dirt bikes in the desert. I could do that all day.

Steam is not just a DD
It's a game by itself

Every game your purchase and install, you get one mental level up
Summer Sale is just one of those Level-Up Bonus sprees Valve gives from time to time.

(looks at his Steam Library of games with zero playtime)

Just did that Toki Tori Summer achievement. Very well played Two Tribes. Played the game on the Wii back then, but after playing through that might make me beat the game again.

I'm proud to say I played every game I bought this sale, some only for a few minutes, but still.
Spent the whole night playing co-op Magicka instead of sleeping, this is going to be a long day.

You know, everything has fallen into place tonight. When you said this I realized that I had a Store Credit card in my wallet that I completely forgot about. I'll be going tomorrow morning at 11 am to get this game. They're generally good when it comes to price matching with their website, so I have no concerns about that.

Is the Magicka DLC outside of Vietnam worth the money? I've had them sitting in my cart all day, and I'm still on the fence.
