merry xmas (GOG/Steam direct download weekly specials)

Amazon has had some decent bundles lately, like the complete Darksiders 2/all DLC for $13 (that Steam immediately matched). There's a bonus to buying bundled Steamworks stuff from Amazon, though- by default you get individual codes for every game and piece of content.

So who wants a free copy of Sega Bass Fishing for Steam? Come on, people, get it while it's hot fifteen years old!

On the offchance anyone actually does want it, just email me and I'll reply with the activation code.

Likewise, any takers for Bioshock 2?

OK, Bioshock 2 has found a home. I'm out of codes, but people may want to take a look at the "Desert to Sea bundle" on Amazon- $10 for Spec Ops: The Line (which is $15 on its own on Steam during the holiday sale) with both Bioshocks.

And as with the other Amazon bundles, they're all separate codes, so you can break them apart and give away duplicates or games you're not interested in.

That sounds like an awesome deal, though I already own Bioshock 1 + 2, so I'll pass and probably wait for Spec Ops to drop to $5. Being able to give away the keys is definitely a positive in buying from Amazonm though.

i would love to partake in steam sales if i was confident my dumb laptop could play any game worth paying money for. if it could play the demo for portal 1 pretty decently is there a chance it could run bioshock? (i was surprised abt portal)

try this site: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

thought these kinds of sites were bs

but what the hell let's give it a shot

lol ok thanks i can't run anything with this vid card, or this website is a front for a vid card store

sorry dawg

even with a laptop card, there are probably still a million indie games that will run on your laptop though, like Audiosurf, Torchlight, etc.

oh yeah i've been playing whatever dumb free stuff i could find off steam, except this resulted in me spending way too much time playing fucking maplestory, so i'm probably just gonna finally start san andreas on ps2

yeah those things aren't always correct--it told me i couldn't run saints row 3 or spec ops: the line, both run fine

well it was right about me barely being able to play portal, and my vid card is literally the "intel hd" card or whatever, so i believe it

i went kind of berserk this year
witcher
witcher 2
terrania
darkness 2
dead island

and now they put dark souls up >_>

terraria is great

xp do you what ya gotta do, bro

I got:

Arkham City
Dead Island
Three Stalker games
Limbo
Fear 3
Amnesia
Saints Row 3
Portal 2
Dead Rising 2
Home
Just Cause 2
Civilisation V
The Void
Doom 3
Rage

After having an Xbox, it seems amazing how cheap everything is.

Skyrims on flash sale, might as well get that finally

Worst Steam Xmas sale yet? Pretty much everything had been on sale before. All I bought was 30 Flights of Loving.

Enh, a sale is a sale. got plenty of stuff, still waiting for other crap to come out on steam.

thanks to your reminder, i just bought 30 flights. Still need to play FTL

Yeah, I was pretty disappointed in the Steam sale too. Not too many crazy price drops or bundles this time. Surprisingly Amazon and GreenManGaming had MUCH better deals overall. Perhaps this has been inevitable with the Summer sale, Halloween sale, Thanksgiving sale, daily deals, etc. I gotta play FTL too.

Today's the last day to get Spec Ops: The Line for $7.50 from Amazon - only $2.50 if you have a coupon on your account from buying something from November/December. Walking Dead is also $12.50 before coupon. Both games are Steam keys, WD being Steam Play PC/Mac too.

i don't think i've heard of any of these games (maybe paranormal?) - are any supposed to be good?

was kinda hoping someone would pony up five bucks and guinea pig

There's a ridiculously great bundle on Amazon right now:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B1ULJI0/ref=cm_pdp_srp_img_4

$10 for Deadlight, Mark of the Ninja, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Iron Brigade, and Toy Soldiers. All with individual Steam codes, so you can trade/gift titles you already have.

Oh, and there's finally an official release of the Hotline Miami soundtrack- it's listed on Steam as DLC for the game, not through any other digital outlets (itunes, Amazon, etc) which is kind of dumb, but whatever. Good stuff.

getting that amazon bundle, thanks for the heads up

25% off Antichamber (ugh the spelling i know) until Feb 6 which seems like it's already aiming for a surprisingly high place on C&P 2013

Actually if you haven't played it yet, I'd say wait, as the remastered/remade version of BoI should be out around the end of the year & will offer much better performance (no longer in flash) & better controls & new stuff (and will also be available for PS3/vita).

I'm depressed that I already own literally every one of those games on one system or another

I've never heard of giana sisters before

considering these sale (I think) titles, in addition to the already-mentioned Windows ports of Coint & Plick alumni Half Minute Hero and 10,000,000:

A Valley Without Wind 2
No Time to Explain
Thomas Was Alone

anyone got any thoughts on these? also should I be hanging on for these to be daily specials or is it not that kind of sale?

No daily specials AFAIC

No Time To Explain was a Greenlighted game originally made in Flash, a goofy platformer expanded to a commericial title. Kinda interested in this one

Still gonna wait for a cheap sale on 10000000 on the iPhone

Giana Sisters looks like a pretty 2D platformer with the hook being it's got metal music

I have the rest already from other Steam Sales. Still gotta play most of 'em....

Read a nice review of Thomas Was Alone. Seems like a good one.

FTL is half-price too if anyone except me doesn't already have it

i liked FTL but i burned out

if you haven't played binding of isaac the best advice is to stay far away from it before an entire month of your life is sucked away into nothingness

also don't play it on mac cuz it suuuuucks

They added alpha access to certain games. Check out Kerbal Space Program if you get the chance.

btw forks if you REALLY wanna make yourself sad, grab this useful plugin
