anyone thinking that Battlefield Bad Company 2 goes on sale? I've seen it around $15 for a little while now, but I would like to pick it up through Steam rather than the EA store.

edit: doh, it's on sale for $19.99 right now

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Anyone figure out how to activate Warband yet?

 

[Goro Majima]

Still holding out hope for the Dragon Age: Ultimate Edition tomorrow!

 

[Fredescu]

I think $20 is the regular price now. If you hold out until xmas you might be able to get it cheaper. On sale or not though, $20 is a great price for it.

Would like to know this as well, do we have to wait a day or two for keys?

 

[Spotless Mind]

Puzzle Pack bought! I already own 3 of them, but i've been holding out for deals on Puzzle Dimension and Tidalis.

what if you own shatter? cogs any good?

If you don't like sliding puzzles, Cogs will make you want to slit your wrists. Otherwise, it's a fantastic twist on the formula. I've found it to be a great time waster. It gets very frustrating on the latter levels, but there's a nice sense of accomplishment when you solve them.

 

[brain_stew]

£5 for Just Cause 2 is a fantastic deal. Its a great and unique game and the PC port is damn near immaculate, and there's a bunch of mods that allow you to try out all sorts of crazy stuff.

 

[Darkkn]

I was waiting for SC: Conviction sale but -33% is really weak, i could still order it 7e cheaper from online and get the disc.

Mount & Blade is definitely a must buy for that price! I have had soo much fun playing Warband online

Yeah, I'll hold out another day in hopes it drops. Any price I get it at I'm going to add $15 to it since I want to play Vietnam

 

[Buttonbasher]

Seems as if they're keeping things more tame this sale. They're probably holding a lot of stuff for the Holiday Sale proper.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

A day or two wait would suck, wouldn't it. I'm playing the Tutorial and my god its fun!

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

Puzzle Dimension has a frigging awesome soundtrack. I didn't realise this.

 

[ZZMitch]

Bad Company 2 and Half Life 1 please.

and worms... bah, there is like 30 games I want.

 

[Mr_Guillotine]

A day or two wait would suck, wouldn't it. I'm playing the Tutorial and my god its fun!

Yeah it is, I was hoping to try out some multiplayer too but it looks like I won't till we get some keys.

 

[wind_steaker]

what did they have last year that makes this look tame? I wasn't paying that much attention last year, though I did buy mass effect.

 

[SuperÑ]

Can i change the install directory for Steam games? I've run out of space in the partition Steam is installed!

 

[Danne-Danger]

I now have TF2 on 2 accounts, will Valve rape my shit if I switch like ~50+ items from one account to another?

 

[Fulleffect]

do enough people play warband?

 

[derFeef]

Not the directory itself, but you can put the Whole Steam folder with all its games anywhere you want without the need for reinstall and stuff like that.

 

[Femmeworth]

The Orange Box - $7.50 (75% off)

:O Oh happy day!

 

[TouchMyBox]

Nah, just make a directory junction for the steamapps folder.

 

[Visualante]

There were dozens of servers, including some with almost 200 people, apparently.

It'll take a while :lol But thank you very much!

Never thought of that, nice that it works. I still prefer a distinct hdd for Steam

 

[drizzle]

Giantbomb's own Dave Snider bought a Warband 6 pack and gave out a key to the first 6 (paid) members of giantbomb that would reply to a thread on the forum.

I was one of those lucky fellas and now I too have warband. Schweet.

A friend of mine is saying that Steam is giving out wrong keys? I'd have to check into it when i download it.

 

[RJT]

There's an App for Steam junction management. Should be easy to Google it (I'm on an iPod, otherwise I'd do it)

 

[Jintor]

Tommorrow's the last day of the sale, so if you haven't got your Five Free games yet, it's time to break out those sacrifices to the dark gods of Steam

 

[drizzle]

Wait, what?

The key Steam gives out for Warband is a 5 sections with 5 character each, and the key the game expects me to input is a 4 section 4 character each one.

WTF?

 

[Hazaro]

So, that Puzzle pack... Recommended?

Yessssssss

Worth it for Shatter soundtrack alone

 

[The Technomancer]

Alright, just bit on Warband. Lets see what this thing is about...

Nobody is getting a multiplayer key - means the game sold buttloads: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1617986&page=15

I except a solution in about 2 days.

Mount & Blade: Warband has 2,277 players currently and a high of 3,752 earlier today on Steam alone. Pretty healthy community for a small developer.

[Sgt.Pepper]

I forgot World of Goo came with the other indie pack :lol Guess I'll kill some time with it. I'm kinda pissed I'll miss the next few sales though.

So after this one there's one more? Thank fuck, my Paypal account has been getting slaughtered

yep, pretty weak

Amazon has it for $15

Likely skewed a bit by the sale. Stats when it's not on the Steam front page at a discount would be more accurate.

 

[SolarPowered]

I bought mount and blade along with the indie puzzle pack. Thank the gods for slow days like these. My wallet is taking a merciless beating.

I also decided to install VVVVV and I even bought the soundtrack. Amazing time for gaming..

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Holy crap, someone gift me The Orange Box. :lol

I think I'll finally play Episode 2. I'm prepared.

 

[Dug]

Decided to buy The Orange Box since it's such a steal, which now means I have an extra copy of HL2...

 

[Helmholtz]

Holy crap, someone gift me The Orange Box. :lol

I think I'll finally play Episode 2. I'm prepared.

Ep 2 is worth 7.50 on its own. DO IT!

 

[Cruzader]

Wow that's awesome.

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

Gave in and bought Warband after a lot of deliberation. I'm genuinely concerned at how much money I've spent on sale stuff ever since downloading Steam only a few days ago, considering it's going to be a long while before I have a computer capable of actually playing all these games. I'm going to see if Reccetear is in any kind of offer again tomorrow (I'm still pissed that I missed it last time), but then I think I might refrain from checking Steam again for at least a month or so.

I've heard people say that Steam is a drain on the wallet, but only now do I realise that it's not just a figure of speech. It's hard to pass up such incredible offers, but since there are so many of them, it adds up fast.

 

[_Bro]

Getting started in Warband is so hard. Keep getting my shit handed to me.

Stupid crossbow.

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

For those asking about the population of Warband, it usually has a Siege server that constantly has like ~100+ people playing at all times. The more people that are in the server the better, things are more epic.

Edit: I checked and I have no idea where this server I mentioned is. I think it is the 22nd Siege server or something like that, but it appears to be sparsely populated at the moment.

 

[iammeiam]

This plan would likely have unintentionally hilarious consequences--while there'll probably be a few deals here and there in the next few weeks, there's a good chance a month-ish-long hiatus would have you back to checking Steam in the middle of their winter sale.

The Black Friday week sale has nothing on the proper winter sale, IMO, for wallet devastation. On the bright side, if you can wait until then, there's no way Recettear won't be on sale again.

I know, but at least I can prepare myself. Since I only donwloaded Steam a few days ago, I never expected to be spending this kind of money. Hopefully by next month I'll have enough money set aside that I'll be able to go wild.

Can you translate that?

 

[Jintor]

Can you translate that?

Simply connect your amp modulator to the chkdsk function and reroute the power through your nasal cavity. You should then be able to jump to hyperspace in a relatively linear fashion.

Spoiler

I have no idea what he means either

 

[BrassMonkey1010]

I got a gift copy of HL2 and Episode 1 to give away. Let me know if your interested/ pm me your steam email address!

Edit: FYI (episode 1 is gone, still have hl2)
