Is the 30% off coupon once per account? Or can you use it more than once?

more than once.

When to do GMG daily sales prices update? Do they update like clockwork (e.g. Steam), or after a short random delay (e.g. Amazon)?
I see GMG says, " 24 hours only, so by 12GMT tomorrow they will be gone" do they mean noon or midnight GMT?
(I feel ignorant, I should know this but I don't.) I want to make sure to snag Civ 5 G&K at the start.

For upcoming GMG deals I find that the GMG Blog is the most detailed.

I'm also a little confused as to the Total War excitement. For Shogun 2, I understand, but the older titles (on steam, which is missing Shogun 1 and Medieval 1) I'm confused. Back on the summer sale...

From KaOTiK's thread on AnandTech

Total War Mega Pack $12.49 75% off includes below Medieval 2 Total War $2.49 75% off Medieval 2 Total War Kingdoms $1.24 75% off Rome Total War Gold $2.49 75% off Rome Total War Alexander $1.24 75% off Empire Total War $4.99 75% off Empire Total War DLC $0.81-$2.49 each 75% off Napoleon Total war $4.99 75% off Napoleon Total war DLC $0.80-$2.49 each 75% off

I bought the Total War Mega Pack (internally tagged on steam as September 2011) for $12.49. Interestingly my DLC tabs on Steam show more DLC than listed on the GMG pages (e.g. my steam listing for Empire DLC also includes Dahomey Amazons Unit, Death's Head Hussars, & USS Constitution Unit). I'm guessing this is just a listing mixup (or maybe some DLC includes multiple things in the steam DLC tab).

I want my Medieval: Total War!. I've seen Shogun 1 for sale in packs before but never M:TW

Aah, thanks. That probably explains why they're not listed separately. Nice to see that the GOTY version includes them.

I picked up Shogun 1 from GG sometime since the start of August for ~$3. I've never seen Medieval 1 on digital download.

Similar to Steam: usually within 10 minutes, although it may take longer.
12GMT meaning 1200 rather than 0000

Deus Ex worth it for $1.40?

Is it for Steam? I can't find it on the product page.

Anyone else having serious issues with GMG still? A couple of days ago I purchased the Titan Question expansion and never received a key. Support offered a refund or I could wait for them to get more keys. I told them I would wait for a key but they haven't contacted me back. I wouldn't of thought it would take long to get more keys from the publisher.

On top of that I attempted to purchase the Borderlands 2 Season pass yesterday morning when it went on sale and I received the order could not complete error repeatedly so I put in a ticket for that as well but they have yet to reply to that one and the sale is now over. :(

Extremely frustrating experience with GMG and its a shame too I got some nice deals during Black Friday from them without any trouble at all.

does the Gods and Kings expansion fix the extreme lagginess when it comes to the end game? Loading turns takes like 2-3 mins.

awesome!

Anybody want to help me out purchasing this game? I'm having transaction problems with my bank account. Will paypal gift you the money. Thanks!

Which Deus Ex?

The original Deus Ex is amazing - and one of the best games ever.
Though, keep this in mind - you should get Kentie's EXE fix, if you want to run it right on modern PC's, to eliminate any weird graphics issues & sound issues (choppy sound, cut-off sound, sound lag issues, etc).
Plus, if you got Win Vista or above, you might want the Kentie's D3D 10 Renderer (see the above link - it's on that page, too).

Deus Ex: Invisible War (AKA Deus Ex 2) was good, but nowhere even close to the original game's greatness.
While I liked the game and its story and choice options, I DID NOT like unified ammo (major ewwww and I thought it almost broke the game) and its "consolized" inventory system.

You also might want the Deus Ex 1/2 wide-screen program, so you can run either of those at high-resolutions on modern PC's and monitors.

Problem might be if you get any Steam versions of Deus Ex 1 + 2, might be a pain to mod them up properly. Don't know, never tried it - since I own retail copies of both. You might wanna speak to others on how to do that properly, if you wind-up w/ a Steam-version of either of those two.
I always recommend before you do mod any Steam-version of a game up - back-up your entire Steam-version game in its UNMODDED state BEFORE you go ahead to mod it, just in case something goes wrong later; that's so you can always go back to a clean state w/out re-downloading the game in full, if necessary.

Now, about Deus Ex: Human Revolution + Missing Link DLC (which requires Steam) -- FINALLY, Deus Ex series is back to greatness similar to the original Deus Ex. Awesome game and story.

Thanks so much for that!

For me steam is like clockwork. Normally 10:02 AM PST, 10:04 during this sale (through honestly I'm no longer excited enough to bother checking right when it turns -- and during the big sales it occasionally takes them a little to correct not-discounted enough gaffees. Amusingly they pulled the Sonic Classics from the sonic pack within a few min. >.>)

Civ 5 is one of few games (mostly strategy) that are really hard on the CPU.

I've never had any trouble with Civ5 on my Q9300. Do you have a quad core of some sort? Btw the steam punk scenario that came with Gods and Kings is fantastic fun.

Deus Ex is Capsule. Yuck.

GMG won't accept my paypal account or credit/debit cards because apparently my bank thinks GMG is a gambling site. :(
Anyone willing to purchase XCOM for $17.50 for me? I'd be happy to pay you via paypal first, as along as you have some good rep here like I do.
