Warband? One of my Games of the Forever! If you've never played it, you really should check it (and its awesome mods) out.

I've only picked up KOTOR2 (which, I'm led to believe, is going to be fantastic coming off of KOTOR1, provided that I get the right content mods for it?) and SF4 sale.
Solid pick-ups, but definitely looks like I'm going to have a safer wallet after this one than I did during the summer one.

Bought Poker Night 2 - was thinking of jumping on it earlier in the sale anyway.
I think it's $9.99. Which is... okay. It's not a good game. It's a Deadpool game, though. I love Deadpool, and Nolan North has really gotten the voice down. It just not a good game.
I can't finish the game due to constant crashing during the final boss. Every time I've come close to beating him, it crashes to desktop. That's like, a metaphor for the whole game.
It uh. Has no cards.

Sorry, $7.50 is the Australian price.
One thing I'll be glad when this sale is over that I can finally get my erratic sleep patterns back in check. I think I'm suffering from bloody narcolepsy.
There's just no justice for Injustice.

A game is cheaper in Deadly Spiderland? How did that happen?
lawl. your humor kills me d-dawg
I'm surprised too, the first Poker Night never saw a discount this deep until it went into a humble bundle/sale/thing.
This is the mod you need.
Also, F4 is quick save and F5 is quick load. Save often, and especially before doorways, because the game behaves erratically.
Stranger still is The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. It has a base price of $19.95 on Steam AU versus $49.99 on Steam US.

Indeed. I barely got things right after the GOG Insomnia sale and then this one hit. Maybe the GOG Holiday promotion, which typically starts around the 15th of December, will be the old style and not more Insomnia.
The Gold edition is on sale for $12.50, so maybe you were seeing that version.

All I've spent so far is 50 cents for the Trine 2 complete story upgrade. Least I've ever spent on a sale.
A poker game without cards.

Any one doing a group thingie for Monaco? lol
It's a "funny"* poker** game with TF2 unlocks, basically.
(* Extremely repetitive jokes that you'll be heartily sick of really quickly)
(** It cheats like a motherfucker)

Damn bought Poker Night 2 and just read:Not recommended for Intel integrated graphics, i can play KoF13 on my laptop i have intel4000...boooooo
Ehh.. the game was a lot of fun, especially if you're a Deadpool fan.
Of course, Deadpool tends to have fans who love everything or hate it. The writer of the game is one of the controversial ones who got a lot of fan hate.
Anyways, some fun stuff in the game, although I could see it being a little repetitive if you're not a fan.
Combat system was interesting for those who care about that sort of thing.
So I played some CSGO for the first time in months and I don't really know what is going on:
- I know there are item drops now. What items do you get though, and how long does it take to get a drop?
- Do you get any kind of shiny item for playing on Operation Bravo servers that you can sell on the market for extra Steambucks?

Oh. Weird.
Still not worth it. It's not about the money, it's about the time wasted on such a poor game.

A quick Monaco question: Is it worth it if playing solo? I'm not against co-op but I don't like relying on others to enjoy a game.

From what I've heard it's only worthwhile for the multiplayer; I don't own the game but I've been tempted to buy for solo only and most people told me not to.
Eh, it can be fun in single player too.
Of course, the true crazy and real "heist" feeling only comes from coop with friends.

Has Salsa posted in this thread at all?
That's why you buy it and don't play it.
On a related note, I should mention that Acti's fiscal year begins in January and this past January saw it abruptly dump the James Bond licence just ~two-and-a-half months after releasing 007 Legends, so this 75% discount for Deadpool being its last isn't outside the realm of possibility.super-famicom

Just buy Warband, it's basically an improved version of the original Mount & Blade with added online multiplayer. The Napoleonic Wars expansion is multiplayer DLC, which I haven't tried out but includes guns. Fire and Sword is a single player add on, but it's not very good and there are numerous free mods that are superior to it (1257AD, Brytenwalda, Floris, Prophecy of Pendor, to name a few). There's even a Game of Thrones mod, which is pretty good.
Warband's single player mode is an open world sandbox RPG. You can join up with several factions as a merc or vassal, or attempt to form your own kingdom. Siege castles or participate in tournaments. Raid and plunder villages or choose to protect them. Spec your character into a master archer or a great sword wielding knight. Recruit different units and train them to be a badass warband. The game is incredibly deep and fun. A bit tough at first, but once you learn how things work you will spend hours playing without realizing it.

I bought Monaco in some other sale and never installed it. Good time to hop on the sale surge I guess.
Open world free roaming medieval action rpg where you personally lead your army on the battlefield in third or first person, really good combat system along with HORSE MOUNTED COMBAT, adventure, happiness, immortality.
I would recommend just getting Warband as a starter. The first MB is a fine game but warband is straight up an improvement on it.
Napoleonic Wars is also worth getting as well. It's a multiplayer expansion set in the Napoleonic Wars (duh), and as such brings some interesting twists in the gameplay (line battles, cannons, entrenching, destructable buildings, muskets and rifles). If you find a good, highly organized group of people to play it with, it's a blast. Also, there's a drummer and bagpipe class you can play as where you just play those respective instruments. And yes, people actually play them.

Oh good, that title made me worry a little.
