I've still to this day never touched the first Half Life game.

Maybe I should change that. Wonder how it holds up with no nostalgia.

You could try black mesa if HL aged too much for you but its a really different experience. Id say that beyond the graphics half life holds up pretty damn well

I've never needed graphics to enjoy a good game. Might boot it up, see what all the hype is about!

Steam backlog, go!

That isn't "very clear" at all. I've already refused offers of gifts in this very thread, hell, on the last page. My friends have been more than generous to me.

Please don't make false assumptions about my motives. Some people have a genuine wish to see goodwill spread around during the holidays. It isn't always about getting theirs.

By the way, is the Sleeping Dogs DLC worth getting? I bought the game for $11 already and now I'm just waiting for the daily deal to get the rest of it for cheap. Also crossing my fingers for X-Com at under $20. Come on baby.

EDIT

Actually I'll let someone else grab it, I'm only missing the DLC so I'll just grab it myself :)

Oh I'd love the dlc if it's separate!

edit : ^^ moot

edit 2 : "You already own Binding of Isaac: Wrath of the Lamb" - I have a problem.

I know people do other things aside browse gaf for deals, but cmon people. Most of the things you're asking was already on sale.

American Nightmare was on sale today for $1.88 for like 2 hours on Gamersgate because of a mistake.
Sleeping Dogs was essentially 6 bucks on Green Man Gaming (6 bucks credit on the store plus some discounts) for like two days.
Skyrim and Dishonored were specially cheap 2 days ago (except I got called all kinds of names when I was selling them for 15 and 10 bucks respectively, because apparently that's the worst thing a human being can do in this thread).

Gotta be on your toes these days to get a hold of them deals!

No, a Grown Man should be working and taking trips and being responsible and having a wife and kids.

This fucking videogames nonsense is for teenagers only.

Ah these goddamn teenagers!

You, build me a chair!

They make it so that people who never would have bought the game actually do?

Feel free to jump in. The game is gorgeous and I feel it doesn't overstay it's welcome. The music is great and it also plays like a dream for the most part.

both are must haves IMO. Specially half life considering you are new to PC gaming.

Alan is on my wishlist, and HL I have always wanted to play(only barely touched HL2 for 360). But I would go over my self-imposed budget. I will probably end up getting both of them.

I read that the non-cosmetic DLC is on the short side. The Vampire theme one I hear is 2 hours, and you are doing the same thing over, and over. The racing theme one, is like 3 races or something like that.

It's actually kinda charming from what I've played. But I'd say only buy if you can bring yourself to be goofy and not go for obvious solutions. If you're incapable of doing that, it's not for you.

3 or 4 of the dlcs sound worth getting and net a couple of hours of extra fun and gameplay. Most of the dlcs are stupid skins, tattoos, clothes and other crap. When Sleeping Dogs goes on a daily, browse ALL dlcs before deciding.

Will Race Driver: GRID go on sale ? I am dying to buy that game. (not for $10 though)
Click to expand...

Probably be a Codemaster daily sale. They don't aggressively price their games like they used to, but they've still usually had one day where things are all lumped together for decent discounts.

Are The Signal and The Writer DLC included with Alan Wake or do I have to buy the collector's edition?
Click to expand...

The former. The CE just contains misc extras.

Edit: In-game developer commentary videos, a PDF version of the Alan Wake Files, and an MP3 version of the soundtrack, to be precise.

I just gifted this to JasonFrost 3 days ago and he already played 20 hours and is ranked 4th on the World Record List of Bad Rats...

Did I do him a favor or what?

Half Minute Hero and They Bleed Pixels bought. Now I'm debating between trying Scribblenauts or playing the xmas episodes from Jazz Jackrabbit.
