I currently have the Assassin's Creed pack in my cart debating whether or not to pull the trigger. I've played all three games already and had them on 360 until a few days ago, but I don't think I'd replay them. I loved them, but not enough to keep going back.

Sounds like you have your answer.

So how does the drawing work at the end of the sale?

If someone wins something they get a message? Will it be posted that certain users won?
I'm not expecting to win, but I would like to know in the off chance I actually won something in the drawing.

Okay, not to sound like a little bitch, but how much modding / config stuff is required to play Vampire at its most enjoyable? Is it a ton of patching and hacking to get it working or can I just more or less install and roll on it?

Just get the latest patch and go for it. There's other things you can do like texture mods (i think) or whatever but they're not needed. Just the unofficial patch.

7.5 is the latest one.

Last time they had a list of games that users had won, didn't say who won I believe though.

DowII:R pricing... Make up your mind! Screwing people over on daily deals is totally not cool. 15.00 --> 7.50 is quite the jump considering what you can get on here for so little. =/

If you're interested in DoW NOW is the time to pick it up. If it is an error they'll fix it pretty fast.

Yep. That kind of price changing nonsense turns me off to the deal every single time. It happens far too often, too.

I'll happily just wait until it's as cheap or cheaper as the initial offering.

Now downloading DoW 2: Retribution and do the last two tickets/achievemetns I can do. I wonder if we'll get to keep that neat grid of achievements after the sale is over. Makes me feel special.

6 € King's Bounty Platinum + 7,50 € DoW2: Retribution + 10 € US gifted VtM: Bloodlines.

Final damage: 23,50 €

I think the euros per hour ratio will be quite satisfactory.

Final tally:

Bit Trip Runner - $2.50
The Longest Journey + Dreamfall - $6.24
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Free (gift)
Just Cause 2 DLC - $2.23
Darksiders - $4.99
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - $24.99 (yes, I bought the deluxe version because I'm dumb)
King's Bounty Collection - $6.99
Counter-Strike: Source - $4.99 (gifted to someone)
The Last Remnant - $9.99
Terraria - $2.49
TF2 Keys (part of the problem) - $4.98

Total: $70.39 (would have been five dollars less if I didn't buy the Deluxe edition of ACB). So I got eleven games and some DLC for a bit over the price of a regular retail game and a coffee at Starbucks. I am content.

Wow, that's really messed up Stumpokapow.

Sorry it took so long.

Having to wait, and particularly dealing with the second Level 1 support tech sucked a lot. The level 2 tech I eventually got was excellent and professional, though. So overall a mixed bag. :)

If I buy the id Pack when I already have the Quake Pack am I guaranteed giftable copies of all the Quake games I already have?

And can you gift games to yourself?

I do actually have dual boot XP and 7. My reasoning is my Steam account and folders are all on my main XP drive. I dont really fancy copying across gigs and gigs of stuff if I can get a patch to get it working on XP.
