I'd be careful with that strategy. When I tried that once my credit card company thought it was fraud.

Any strong feeling's towards Miner Wars 2081 that would make me bite?

Console version? Activision is notoriously stingy. Vampire the masquerade had still never been lower than $20 before last year. It came out in 2004.
Always online DRM.
I remember this well, I bought it for 33% off because it had never been on sale up to then and everyone thought it wouldn't be again for years. I think it was 75% off at least twice in the couple of months after that.
Vampire had that one weekend deal long before that for $10 at least that many missed.

What little I have played of the aliens they do seem fun. It seemed to me that you really need to know the maps to be effective with them (so I have been learning the maps with Marine.

Yea thats true. Picked it up in August of last year for $5 bucks.
Technically, it has always required GFWL. Even for the Steam version. One of the most laziest ports to PC though until Durante's mod came out.
Anybody else having difficulty downloading on Steam at the moment? Have tried London and Sweden servers but on both all of my games are stuck on "Update Required/Suspended" and nothing happens (if I try to install a new game or verify a games installed files it gets stuck on that page forever).
Trying to figure out if I need to fuck around with my VPN stuff in case the uni changed the settings over the holidays or if I should be on some super secret Steam server (incidentally, which is the least used europe one, can never remember which nordic country it is)

)RSV1 is better than 2... maybe your inner soul was telling you that.
From wouldn't commit either way, which lead to speculation GFWL would be dropped, but as we all know, Dark Souls was discovered to be one of the most barebones ports in the history of PC gaming.
I think something is up with the London server, it would only download at less than 1KB/s for me before, so I changed to Manchester and that's working okay so far.Anybody else having difficulty downloading on Steam at the moment?

PC. I was shocked. I would have never bought it otherwise.
Bare bones but flawless post-Durante. Just install the res fix, the texture/font mod, and the mod to fix Quelaag's textures. It isn't buggy and the GFWL implementation is years ahead of the save-destroying intrusive bullshit of, say, Arkham City.

Shows up at $5 for me. Still debating that one.
And may have bought Gods & Kings, but that GMG deal on Sunday is way better.

He means 2.50.
It certainly shines with the right amount of fan-made polish.

This is probably old and negative news but it was still funny lol. Miner Wars 2081.
wikipedia said:
Yep, but it's important to distinguish it from the downright terrible ports out there like Saints Row 2.
Support the dev(more money in their pockets), you nab a DRM-free copy, and soundtrack(I think?).

Devs probably get a larger cut via the Humble Store.
DRM free version + Steam key on the website.
On Steam 30% of the price goes to Valve, at the developer it doesn't while you still get a Steam key and a DRM free version for the same price.

So Saints Row 3 the complete package has EVERYTHING ever released then for SR3 right? And all that for 7,49? hmm might have to grab it then i guess, i enjoyed SR2 so this might be decent!

What is FTL?

Its the same price on the official site and you get a DRM free version as well as a steam key.
I'd say the developer effort is comparable, though. Dark Souls is nothing more than a port of the X360 codebase and Saints Row 2 is a broken game that is no less so in its PC version.

Sure. VWdrewzBie(steam)
No. It doesn't include the Unlockables pack nor the Vampire or whatever it's called one. I don't know if it's missing anything else.
If anyone recalls, earlier in the year when XCOM was released, Green Man Gaming ran a 'pre-order now and get a free copy of Civ V for Steam' promotion. Around the time, I think GMG was acting up; for some reason, the Civ V code didn't show up for me and I quickly forgot all about it.
Well, I've just been fussing around in the GMG back-end looking to see what my purchase history was and, lo and behold, there's what looks like a Steam key labelled 'Civ V' just sitting there! I have no reason to suspect that this won't unlock a full vanilla Civ V.

I've not yet tried the hidden text technique -- I hope this works. :]

Yeah, Dark Souls lack of graphical options is downright baffling and bad. But that shouldn't be confused with a technically bad port (bugs, terrible performance etc.). It's actually pretty solid on a technical front. It was just missing settings options which is now fixed thanks to Durante.

Aliens are super fun to play.

Well since I ran out of steam money I have to say I've not seen anything I want.
So far...

Everything you want. You don't want the vampire DLC.
As someone who just started playing FTL, I can attest to the veracity of this image. FTL is also the first game where I have felt the "just one more turn" phenomenon so many people talk about.
I jumped on it. Thank you so much for the code! Civ V was high on my wishlist. I've never played a Civ game before and based on what I've heard, I fear for what this game will do to my sleep when combined with FTL and Grimrock.
You're most welcome! Apologies in advance for the body-clock damage.
Very true. God I love this game.
You don't want them either as both are game breaking.

I decided to pull the trigger on the Legend of Grimrock at the last minute
Random Question - Is easy mode good for beginners to dungeon crawlers (like me in this case) or would you say its too easy even for beginners?
