Pretty slow Black Friday weekend on the PC side for me...

GMG

Galaxy on Fire 2 $3.74 (bought with credit)
Death Rally $2

Amazon

Zeno Clash .99

Steam

Zombie Driver HD $2.49
First Templar $4.99
Silverfall Complete $3.74 (Already had the original Silverfall on disc but any changes I made to the graphics options would not save so I picked it up Steam for the extra $1.24 instead of fussing with it.)

$14.21 total out of pocket

Spent WAY more this weekend on a Vita and console games.

Hm. I suddenly want Dream Machine very badly.

There's a demo in Steam, but you can also play the first bit on the developer's website. I really enjoyed the art style, humor, and dialogue. Also, there was an ilomilo reference.

You still have time to pick up the new indie royale bundle and get the first three episodes.

Would you prefer that we all make our own threads for the 1000+ titles currently on sale?

If it's more current than Torchlight 2 preorder on Novenmber 26th, 2012, then yes, lol. I mean every user has time to brag about what they bought, but can't edit a WiIKI page to let others know without having to wade in this muck? That's plain lazy, tbh. I know there are lots, which makes it even more sad that each person can't add 1 game that they think is the best deal? Most of the OP's in the deals section are where new users come to find deals & this thread has turned off about 4 new people I turned on to CAG, cuz they didn't want to see what people bought when the deal was over (since I told them it was a place to find great deals on any platform).

Hey, you. You there. Stop being a dick.

Go edit the WIKI and show us how it's supposed to be done.

This thread brings in new people in busy periods for that EXACT reason - it's busy. It's what brought me in and what's brought others in too. It won't suit everybody but it suits plenty.

If you edit the Wiki properly I'll make you a nice cup of tea and we can have a chat about it over a hobnob or two.

Now, now, children. Let's talk about important things.

Like how I own Dream Machine now. Everyone be happy for me.

Different strokes. This thread was a primary reason why I stuck around; the community atmosphere and games talk (what's good, what is buggy, what's just terrible) and even the banter made it an interesting and informative place for talking about sales.

Those multicolored hugging guys look pretty dream-esque. As opposed to looking "Dreamy".

Pretty much this.

This isn't the Xbox threads. People do things differently here but you will find they are friendly and sociable and willing to help if you aren't being a total rude jerkwad.

The thing is with the Flash deals in particular flipping so fast and so often, editing that wiki is A LOT OF WORK. You are certainly welcome to do it next time for the winter sale if it bugs you so much though.

Anyway, you can easily see all the featured daily and flash deals on Steam at any given time just by going to Steam's site so is it really that big of a deal that it's not totally updated all the time in real time here?

If you want to browse, go look at Steam, if there's something in particular you are interested in then ask. It's not that hard.

*Edit: As an aside to all this unpleasantry, I wonder if there's some way to insert a self updating RSS feed into the OP wiki so the lazy impatient console gamers who wander in won't go into a nerd rage in the future.

Pardon me while I put my feet up and lounge here a bit...

As a newcomer I have to say, the light-hearted nature of this theard (and others here) are what made me finally decide to register and stick around. If I didn't want the warm and fuzzy atmosphere, I'd do all my discount searching solo and be anti-social like I am IRL.

FYI: I bought all my items I intended to buy on BF and then some. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't have any interest (or money) in buying anything during Amazon's Editor's Choice promo offering. I could compose a list of purchases, but if I do that, I'll know how much I spent which will make me sad...

You know you want a hug. It's okay to admit it.

I'm with Motoki. I rarely comment in deals threads, but I like the community we've established in this thread. It's my favorite thread on CAG, and the one I frequent most.

Go to GOG Witcher/Witcher 2 Backup Copy Redemption 5. Paste the code into the box and hit redeem. Your Backup copy will now be in your GOG Library, as well as all the bonus content. When you redeem The Witcher 2 on Steam and start downloading it, it will have 2 separate downloads. The game and a 4.8 GB download titled The Witcher 2: Bonus Content. This will appear in your Steam folder at the following address: /Steam/steamapps/common/the witcher 2. Here are the differences between the Steam extras and the GOG extras. Will start with what's the same: Same Bonus Content at GOG & Steam ----------------------- Soundtrack Map Game Guide Manual Papercraft Dolls Pamphlet & Envelope Exclusive to Steam ------------------ Photos of Developer Offices Promo Pictures Screenshots Exclusive to GOG ------------------ Wallpapers Artbook Avatars Artworks many more videos other than just Developer Diaries Triss Playboy Session Comic Book 4 Bonus Tracks to the Soundtrack There's definitely some overlap, but the clear winner here is GOG. Let Steam download the extras folder (it will automatically anyway). Then consolidate it into the folder that you downloaded the GOG extras into.

thanks, that is all useful and should be stickied somewhere. i dont think i will buy witcher 2 right now, it is bound to be $5 or $2.50 soon enough(well maybe in 2013 or 2014). i was fortunate to get skyrim from the microsoft store for $10 so will be playing that for months.

I have to admit that I haven't looked at the first post for several months now. I mainly only come into this thread to read the chat and find the occasional deal This isn't ONLY a Steam thread; I see people post deals for PC games that are cheaper on other websites such as Amazon PCDD, GMG, etc, which I appreciate. No need to get hung up over semantics; consider this more of a community chat room than a pure Steam deals thread

On the side note of showing our haul, I was mainly just surprised how little I spent on Steam compared to the other digital distribution retailers. I have extremely fond memories of the past couple Summer and Winter sales, so I hope next month doesn't disappoint! I still have several games I would love to see a 50-75% sale for (half minute hero, FTL, etc).

I never look at the first post of any on-going thread. If I want to know what today's Steam deal are, I'll just look at Steam.

I'm up to about $12, mostly on DLCs. My big purchase of the sale was Avernum: Escape from the Pit for $4.99. I've been eyeballing the Spiderweb stuff for a while and this and Nethergate are the only ones I don't have (well, now I have Avernum 1). I thought there was at least a fair chance I would start Avernum before the Christmas sale, so that was all the justification I needed. I also picked up Hearthfire (had to register my $10 Skyrim key first), but based on what I've read about Dawnguard, I figured I'd wait on a 75% sale for it. I picked up another SR3 DLC, the Maximum Pleasure Pack, partly because I think I will love that shark gun and the man cannon (reminds me of Red Alert 3). I snagged a couple of cheap CKII DLCs, Legacy of Rome and Songs of Byzantium.

I'm kicking around the idea of spending $3-5 more before the sale shuts down in a few hours because I yanked a couple of things out of my cart that I'm reconsidering (Zombie Driver HD and Silverfall Complete).

Other than that, I bought a couple of Amazon's $3.99 MP3 albums (Jason Mraz as a gift for the missus and the Brave sountrack for me) and no game stuff from Amazon. I'll probably wait to see what Tony has in store for us closer to Christmas.

I ended up with The Witcher 2 to clean out the remaining $50 I had put in my Steam wallet at the beginning of the sale. I did the GOG.com backup, but didn't realize I would view my CD Key in Steam until I read walkonshadows post above.

Long story short, I now have The Witcher 2 in my GOG library. I had a question though - seems that this game has some... ehem shall we say... questionable content. Are these parts really graphic or is it like "sex scene from Mass Effect"?

I wasn't a big fan of HMH. The idea seemed a lot more fun that the actual game itself. You may want to research that one to make sure it's what you're after

However, FTL has been a pleasant surprise for me and one of my favourite games of 2012. It has plenty of replayability and scratches that pleasepleasepleasedontdieonme itch. It's also very unforgiving as you can lose an hour's work in just one jump; it's that constant threat of death that really drew me in. As RockPaperShotgun pointed out, some games are at their best when it all goes hopelessly wrong.

It's pretty Mass Effect-y, I'd say. You might see the occasional boob, if that bothers you, but there are only three NPCs that Geralt can have relations with, if I recall correctly (I only saw two of them). It's handled in a very mature way. Let's just say it's much better than the odd nude-card collecting game that was censored everywhere in the first game and made some folks rather uncomfortable.
