I bought two packs of 1000 blue coins on Gamersgate to get Saint's Row 2. Obivoulsy I used the IAMANELDERGEEK and bought 2000 blue coins for $1.90.

What I forgot is that IAMANELDERGEEK also discounts BlueCoins, so it brought Saints Row 2 to a price where I only needed to buy one pack of 1000 Blue Coins.

Surplus of blue coins for me, I guess. :D
 
Amazon jacked up the prices as soon as the EA and THQ coupons started.

Many promotions are only for certain days so I wouldn't say they jacked them up, the promotions just ended. They had no obligation to give the publisher specific coupons (as it wasn't advertised at the beginning of the sale) and I thought it was a nice thing to have. Wish it was more broad(as there was some Warner Brother's stuff that I wanted) but oh well.
 
Any juicy deal on Civ5: Gods and Kings in sight?

Also asking again :p any impression on Spirits?

Try to hang in there. I got God & Kings for 75% off on the final days of the last sale. Don't fall for the 50% off.

It's my biggest peeve with Steam Sales - don't fool us with early "fake" discounts then drop the price even lower a few days later. It's total bullshit.

Keep you eyes open for the Mac version of Gods & Kings at Amazon as it received a discount before when the Windows one didn't. Mac version is also Windows as the game features SteamPlay.

Has Spec Ops: The Line or Binary Domain been on daily sale yet? Those are really the only 2 games I'm looking to get (and maybe Arkham City).

Finally picked up all that DLC with Saints Row III for $2.50 with that Amazon coupon. It's a shame they never had a package just for it!

I'm ready for new Flash/Daily deals! I want some crazy Sam & Max deduction! Or some Dead Space ish!

Merry X-mas GAF, I heart you very much~!

Oddly enough, the newest expansion pack doesn't require GFWL.

I accidentally registered Dark Souls to the wrong GFWL account. is there any way to transfer it to my other account?

Fear not, you can get a better deal for Spec Ops from amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0091T6FQO/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Basically you'll get Bioshock 1 + 2 for free and a $5 promo credit to use in Janyary (Editor's Choice games).
Binary Domain surely will get on a daily soon enough too.

So I got SR3 last week during the THQ sale, but...

I want to buy "the full package" on Steam to get all the DLC since it's cheaper, but it COMES with SR3.

Will I be able to gift Saint's Row 3?

i think the sr3 key is seperate from the other games in the thq bundle, so you should be able to gift it if you look at your humble bundle page. :)

That's the problem, though: I already used my Humble key.

Now I'm trying to buy the full pack and it's telling me it's not sure if I will be able to gift it.

Whilst my stuff gets downloaded, I started to clear stuff (even from the last Summer sale, holy shit) and it was the turn of Space Marine.

Fun stuff, though the sound stuttering is really annoying. Wanted to get a 100% on the Achievements but it requires multiplayer, egh.

Also, any effective guide to configure Binary Domain with a 360 controller? Default controls don't make any sense and most of them are unbinded, what the hell.

Origin is just a rebranded EA Download Manager, but EA didn't begin to push it as a DD platform until mid-2011... which has had obvious Steam-related consequences vis-a-vis EA games that weren't published via EA Partners.

Thanks, but the reason I asked was more to do with that I prefer to buy games that only require one platform/launcher to run. I'm not opposed to using Origin or Uplay at all, but I'm not especially keen when a Steam game needs both Steam and Origin/Uplay to run.

Which leads me to ask actually... Can SSIV:AE be played in single player/local multi without having to use GFWL?

GFWL will be running no matter what. You can play without logging in, however, some characters will be disabled. You need to login to make them all available. Yes, even for offline play.

Yes, your crazy pipedream of not running multiple clients is not possible. Doesn't really matter.
