Are you trying to gift something? This happened to me when I tried to gift something a few days ago, but it eventually worked.

It could also be that you've been making a lot of small Steam purchases and they've stopped authorizing your card...one call should fix that. That's why after you've done a sale or two you just use the Steam wallet.

Yep gift purchase but it's from paypal, oddly I just gifted a 4 pack of sanctum 10 minutes before without issue.

I would use the wallet, but it's not viable if I want to get something gifted for cheaper or get around banning/censoring (Australian)

Anybody having trouble launching Wonderful End of the World? I was able to play through the entire game during the Potato Sack sale but now after reinstalling it, it crashes after the initial load screen. I'm on Windows 7 64-bit.

Ah damnit I've run over my bandwith cap. That $7.50 Batman AA? Throw $17 of charges on for that and it's not such a good deal. Oh well I've hit max charges so I'll go wild for a week.

Hmm, the Tomb Raider sale is tempting. I already have GOL and I got Legend(still haven't installed yet) for free when I pre-ordered it. I played through Anniversary once several years ago on GameTap, but for $2.50 I wouldn't mind playing it again. Underworld is the only question mark for me. For those who have played it, is it worth the plunge for $7.50?

$10 for one of the best RPG's released in years is a fine price. It's not like it's a small game.
Not saying it's not worth it. I paid $30 for it and it was completely worth it. Still, they shouldn't raise the price 10 minutes into the sale...those buying afterwards will feel cheated and may not buy it.

I loved Sim City 3000, how's Cities XL? Also, CS Source, how accessible is it for beginners? I tend to only play FPS games on the 360.

You will probably have at least a month of getting skullfucked by 1337 h4x0rz if you play CS:Source and you don't play a lot of PC FPS games.

CS Source will take time to get good at.. not like COD in any way
I am thinking of getting Quake package

Honestly, you'll probably quit CS Source before you become competitive at it.

I know a lot of people like it, and a lot will probably disagree, but it just doesn't hold up well as a FPS game anymore and there's a lot of better modern FPS games to play.

Yeah I'm still buying it, it's just the principle of something being on sale for cheaper that's annoyed me. Ah well.

I'm actually not buying it because the price went up. I was going to add it to my cart and then the price changed. I already have a large enough backlog so any excuse I can find not to buy any more games during the sale will help that.

Just nabbed the Summer of 69 ticket for Poker Night at the Inventory after just 10-15 minutes of play. Nabbed the Heavy's special TF2 item in the same hand... the last one I needed. Very lucky! It looks like I'm actually going to have enough tickets to grab everything I wanted after all.

For the new page:

Anyone want to get in on a Sanctum 4-pack? I can't host at the moment though, unfortunately.

Yep, i am in.

About hosting, well, i am in the euro zone, so i guess i am not the ideal.

Can you complete Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light by yourself or do you have to co-op it?
Yes, but you will need a co-op partner if you want to get all achievments. Also, few parts of the game are much easier when playing in co-op.

Anyone got any tipps on the Audiosurf ticket? I can't seem to find a red paint. Do I have to have a special character for it to appear?

Not with new GAF server!

Even then...I watch my friend play this, timing his grenades just perfectly (it's the grenade use that really gets me), his astonishing knowledge of every weapon and map...he may as well be on a real strike team.

So, while you're probably right, I find it hard to imagine there are enough people who haven't played it or have that level of knowledge and want to get a community going. Am I wrong, so so wrong?

If I can only get 2 tomb raider games and one of them will be guardian of light, what should the other one be? is there a consensus best game other than guardian of light?

Anyone else getting errors from the store?



Never had this before, what do I do?

I got this error while trying to pay with paypal, but the fault was on my end (in a way). The credit card linked to my paypal account expired, so it wasn't valid anymore

Because it's on sale. Just because a lot of people on the Internet like to wait for daily deals doesn't mean everyone does.
I just don't see the logic. If you've already waited 4 years to buy the game, what difference will 4 more days make to see if its on sale?
