So I got started on my backlog last night with Civilization V.


That was a huge mistake.

Probably the best/worst mistake ever. I had to quit playing Civ cold turkey man. The game sucks me in and I lose track of time. Plus none of my other games get any love.
 
I'm just disappointed Volgarr and Super House of Dead Ninjas were never put on any of the Flash sales. I could understand not being a Daily deal but most of the Community choice nominees had their own Flash sale. So disappoint. =[

all this CSD praise is driving me bananas.

I told my wife I wouldn't buy another game until March... I may need to pull a giftcard trick soon.

It really is fantastic. Haven't even hit a 1 star restaurant yet, but just having fun playing with the menu and trying new foods out.
 
Whatever happened to that big batch of games that got registered on Steam? Didn't someone speculate that it could be EA's return?

If the post-Summer sale period is anything to go by, there are good chances that games that weren't featured on the Christmas sale will have dailies during the next week.

Same. I ended up getting SHoDN and the dlc. It was still a good enough deal for ~$5. I'll pass on Volgarr until another sale or a bundle shows up with it.

Just beat Half Life. Feels good to have played through such a classic, even if parts of it didn't hold up so well. Still deciding if I'll play Opposing Force and Blue Shift next or if I should jump straight into HL2 + Episodes.
 
Welp, I ask this new thread too: Any news on the Amazon List? The "first draft" wasn't very tempting, especially if the coupons won't st

Play the expansions, they're really good.

I would jump right into HL2 myself but with that said, Blue Shift was great back when it was released. Not sure how great it holds up today. But HL2 is still great and always will be. Either way, enjoy it all.

I've been struggling a little bit. It's so involved that I don't even want to play it unless I have max focus lol.

At the latest it will go up tomorrow, the 4th, because that's when the $5 credit becomes active. At the earliest sometime today.
 
Nice to be back spent to much in the sale on 395 games now

Got a metal gear rising gift from a US trader and it is regionfree so only brazil / russia are locked, If any Irish gaffer wants a copy I'll give ya his steam profile :)

In for the new thread!

Just got my second foil card ever, from Rise Of The Triad no less. Onto the market it goes, though the first hasn't sold yet. Hey ho.

Also, thanks to the sale, Modbot and Driftmoon, I'm now only three games away from the magic 500! I'm about to join the Master Race, guys! Wish me luck!

I played BS and OF for the first time earlier last year, and I appreciated more BS than OF (even if the common opinion is the opposite), as it seemed to me less focused on shooting and more on everything else. Like it was more a "choral" game (gameplay-wise, it's not like you play with an army of people around you) instead of a simple shooter.

fuck that man. I stick with beer, wine, chicken and fish

Fish and lobster are and forever will be (until they rot T_T ) my daily special rotation!

But I'm slowly starting to appreciate the difficulty of soup. It's so refreshing every now and then to have to actually cut ingredients instead of just typing like hell. #teamCookingMama

Very nice giveaway. I haven't tried it out yet, but I've been hearing the rave reviews coming from these threads.
 
The Steam Store looks so ugly now that it's back to normal :/

This. During these last couple of weeks I forgot how outdated the front store looks now =/ Steam has over 2k games in there but the store front doesn't convey that quantity.

Anyway, is anyone else having enormous problems trying to access anything but the front page? Community, discussions, blotter, everything is crawling bad. Did something happen?

Has there been an update to the preliminary list in the meantime? I think EA was one of the only pubs that had gotten back to Amazon Tony at the time that was posted. I really do hope there ends up being something worth putting the credit towards. :s

DDOS attack.

Also, people rushing to the market to sell/buy snow globe cards.

Uhh.. Speedrunners is the shit. Playing with GAF (Dunder & Kipp) is a blast.

I need to record some of this so you can see my pain.
