They're not working on the second one QUITE yet.

Is Magic 2013 a good deal? (mid-week madness $5) I just started playing Magic for the first time a week ago... I want to know if that game will get addicting like I hear the TCG is...

So are we just a PC general thread now? Or is it just stream of consciousness with content ripped from tumblr and reddit? We might need to change the title of the thread if this is the case.

I feel like everybody that posts here already knows what to expect. It's not like anyone stops in to complain about us not talking about relevant deals. At least not as often as every other thread on the deals forum.

Changing the thread title might not be a terrible idea, just for accuracy, but it's pretty much just thread regulars here when there isn't a major seasonal sale going on, so I don't know if there's much of a point.

You must be fun at parties.

Been playing Amalur on Origin for a couple days. Gotta say, it's much better than the only other client I have experience with...which was GFWL.

The community warned me, but I payed no heed. Now I'm balls deep in this thing they call STEAM.

Fair warning, for those interested, come morning you will have been bested. By STEAM.

Great deals on the valve games

-I can't believe this is really my first post and i joined CAG in 2010! anyways I'm hoping to get more friends on steam and get an invite to the CAG steam Group

I've been playing through Hotline Miami this week, having bought it at launch.

It's fun and frustrating in equal measure. It's effectively a puzzle-murder-em-up, trying to work out the quickest/quietest/quirkiest way to clear a floor of victims* without getting killed.

You have 1HP. That's it. So you can't just outlast the opposition, you really need to kill them before they kill you. To quote Major Dick Winters, "Speed is the key".

I like it, but can only play 1-2 levels at a time. It reminds me of Super Meat Boy in that you'll do ever so well, die, then repeat but at a less patient pace and you'll die again, and again, and again, until eventually everything just clicks and you get that smug feeling of satisfaction about nailing everybody in quick succession.

I imagine we'll see it at 50% off sometime around Xmas so put it on your watchlist if you feel tempted. It's cheap enough that a 33% discount might even be enough for some people.

It's in my top 5 game experiences for the year. Don't let the wacky hallucinogenic graphics put you off, you'll tune out of them soon enough. It just comes down to you, the pool cue, that guy behind the door with the shotgun, and the amazing soundtrack.

Go kill somebody.

Hotline Miami is available now on STEAM.

* - if you're in a moral quandary and need motivation, they all look like gangsters and probably deserve to die for past indiscretions. Apart from Steve**, he's just an innocent bytander you just bludgeoned to death with a frying pan.

** - if it bothers you, Steve dodged a parking ticket seven years ago.

Wow.. GTA complete for $7.49, or GTA IV and Episodes from Liberty City individually at $4.99 each.

Definitely in for Episodes.

Origin isn't half bad now. It's still not Steam so I will never use it for anything not EA related but I mean it's alright.

Got in on that $8 Lego Batman 2 Deal. Never played a lego game so I am excited to play this. Ok, lets be realistic here, I am excited to own it now but it will get lost in my backlog a week from now and about 2 months later I will remember oh yeah, I bought this . Like Binary Domain, Chronicles of Riddick, etc...

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but Postal 2 was Greenlit. I saw some copies on Steamgifts and read a description, it said it was a Steam key from Desura. I went to my Desura account and saw nothing, so then I clicked "Install" and after Postal 2 starts Installing/DLing you can then right click on the game in your games list and click on "View CD Key" once you do this you should get a Steam key for Postal 2 Complete! Just activated mine

I know lots of us got Desura keys in bundles. One of my favorite games so I don't mind having it on Desura, Steam, and Boxed

For those who have lost track of all their bundles, Postal 2 was in Be Mine 3. Thanks for the heads-up, activating now!

If you took part in the promotion to get the game on Steam, you will need to register and contact the Running With Scissors team and request your key. Here are the instructions: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/f...0398919161255/

They cross-check your information, so don't bother trying if you didn't contribute to getting the game on Steam. I don't seem to have the game on Desura, so here you go.

EDIT: I found my Postal 2 Complete code for Desura. It was in Groupees Be Mine 3, and I hadn't activated it. Go to your Groupees accounts and copy/paste your code here, follow Fox's instructions, then redeem your CD key on Steam.

Thanks for the heads up. Redeemed mine without a hitch.

EDIT: Wait a minute. It said it activated it, but it didn't go to the usual install screen and now there's no sign of it in my library.
