Counter-Strike Source for $5.

[pilonv1]

Running with shitty weekend deals to make the post Xmas sales amazing

[Great Rumbler]

Medieval II is pretty awesome. It's a mixture of Civilization, Europa Universalis, and real-time battles. Easily worth $5.

[Bebpo]

Free steam weekend on Dreamkiller.  Is this the first free weekend with a single player game?  Seems kinda silly since people can play through the game and beat it while it's free

I'm guessing the game sucks though and isn't even worth the time if free.  I'm studying for finals this weekend so not gonna try.  Otherwise I'd at least give it a shot.

[Joe Molotov]

Yeah, word on Dreamkiller is that it's a turdburger. I was tempted it pick it up anyway a while back, but I'm saving all my money now for the Holiday Sale.

[archie4208]

Red Orchestra is $5.  I don't know if it is a good game or not, but hey it's $5!

[Himu]

Bebpo

gifted me a game on steam

[Joe Molotov]

What game?

[Bebpo]

Yesterday = start of Hanukkah
Therefore gift-giving time
+
Samorost 2 (good game) was on-sale (cheap)
=
good holiday gift

[Himu]

You're Jewish, bebpo?

The Last Remnant for $10

[demi]

Just want to post that TLR is the best PC game ever

[Joe Molotov]

If you don't have it, get it. If you already have the 360 version, buy it again. If you already have the PC version, gift it to somebody.

The Last Remnant for $10

http://machinarium.net/blog/2009/12/16/amanita-design-christmas-pack-machinarium-samorost2-for-10-60-off/

Machinarium and Samorost 2 bundle is $10 now (comes with soundtracks).  I might jump on this.  Good price for Machinarium alone.

[Great Rumbler]

I got a couple of guest passes for Killing Floor. Anyone that wants one, just let me know.

[Akala]

argh, can't believe I missed TLR sale. Picked up Torchlight finally though!

[pilonv1]

http://store.steampowered.com/app/41500/

$10 for Torchlight

[archie4208]

I'm thinking about grabbing Torchlight even though I already pirated it and beat it.  I'd like to at least support the devs.

[pilonv1]

Update has 67 ACHIEVEMENTS and cloud support.

[archie4208]

I bought Torchlight off Steam and my savegame from the pirated version still works.

I wish I hadn't retired my Vanquisher now.

[Reb]

The Steam Cloud made my netbook Torchlight character disappear.

The Christmas sale is INSANE.

[Eel O'Brian]

there is so much stuff i don't know what to get

the only ones i know for sure are Rome Total War gold for $2.50 and STALKER Clear Sky for $5

[Great Rumbler]

I decided to pick up a few more things today:

-A Farewell to Dragons [isometric RPG ]
-Shooter Collection [Alien Shooter, Aliens Shooter 2, Alien Shooter: Revisited, and Zombie Shooter]

[Reb]

I did Defense Grid today, we'll see what the other days bring.

[cool breeze]

my problem is that for some reason I got incredibly cheap.  Anything more than $5 and I feel like it's hard to justify.  I remember wanting to buy Call of Juarez 2 a while back and now that it's $15, it seems too expensive when I'm able to get all these good games from $2 to $5.

[huckleberry]

This is perfect.  Steam sale just in time to put a bunch of cheap (but awesome) games on the HP Mini 311 I just bought my son for Christmas.....I see no reason to add 5 (or 10) games for myself while I'm at it

[Howard Alan Treesong]

ironically enough, I'm buying and playing my purchases on a 311 right now!

I just bought three more games: Sid Meier's Pirates ($6.67), Samorost2 ($2.49) and The Witcher: Enhanced Edition ($13.39)

I think I'm done except for upcoming daily deals.

[Great Rumbler]

Alien Shooter is pretty awesome. It's an isometric shooter where you explore various levels of a research facility and mow down hordes of alien scum in order to get more money to upgrade your weapons and armor or buy more ammunition.

Whoa, that plays on the 311?

€ = $, sez Steam.

[archie4208]

Its still the best MP game on PC this year B. Even on P2P.

The TF2 updates make it almost an entirely new game and TF2 annihilates MW2 soooooooooo

[cool breeze]

Has anyone used the backup feature in Steam before? I've been thinking about downloading every game I bought and saving them on an external hd.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Yeah, I used it for my last system wipe. The backup/restore wizard is simple and it's 50 times faster than redownloading it. I dunno if I'd backup just to "backup," though, as Steam stores all your keys.

[cool breeze]

Well, I'm also doing it because I'm thinking about getting a solid state hd only for games and will probably need to move everything from my current C drive to whatever drive that would be.

Indeed, only filthy consolites would claim MW2 is even in the same league as TF2

Then use the Backup wizard for sure, it's easy-peasy and saves you tons of time

BOTH King's Bounty games for $11.25.  Insane deal.

[Bebpo]

You know, wouldn't it make more sense for steam to offer deals on games they DIDN'T offer during the xmas sale for the first few months? 
You know, instead of offering the same games from the sale but for even cheaper so they piss off their entire fanbase.

[cool breeze]

I forgot that the demo didn't work back when I was thinking about buying this during the christmas sale and re-downloaded it lol

SHUT THE FUCK UP.

I missed the KB deal during the Christmas Sale because I didn't know anything about the game. Buying it now. Steam

EDIT: Should I spring for both or just Armored Princess? I hear AP is just like the first one except better in every possible way.

Might as well get both since it's only $1.25 more.

The first KB is a bit easier, but Armored Princess is better overall.

Got both, which should I play first? I'm leaning towards AP.

You'll probably appreciate AP more if you play KB first.

I figured. That's the main thing, I was worried AP would make KB harder to enjoy, so KB first it is.

KB has a better tutorial, but AP is literally better in every way possible. Common allies get new skills, there's more spells, more quests, more variety. It's an upgrade in every way- You have nothing to gain by playing KB first, except an appreciation or the improvements in AP. Given that they're both long, difficult games, you'll probably only wanna play one. Make it AP
