Wow that is cool to see Vessel on the EC list from Amazon.

And it's charity, so yeah. Probably give the inventory copy to my wife. Or girlfriend. DON'T LEAVE US HANGING, MAN!

The 'soundtrack' is very disappointing as a soundtrack. It's only the main theme. I'm glad I didn't BTA just for that.

Who else is pumped for some Rev2012 tomorrow? If anyone wants to play and is on my list already just message me on steam. I figure this is as good a time as any to dive into the world of mayan dancing.

It's not as bad as the anti-hype that follows it anytime it is mentioned.

The first few levels of DNF are pretty bad. It gets better as it goes along though it never shines. However I did have fun on the Doctor Who Cloned Me DLC, it's much better than the base game.

Better go to sleep or I might miss a flash sale

Good grief. I thought it had only been maybe 5 pages a day, then I get to the end and see the new thread with 46 pages already. And now I'm part of the problem!

Yeah, this thread moves really fast and the sale hasn't even started. I'd bet 15 to 20 pages a day easy for the next week or so.

Morning guys. Almost 4 hours left, anticipation is building.

Hi, guys.

EDIT: BGCQ.

Lost planet is mediocre at best, you shouldn't play it.

To that end you have to go out and about, laying waste to whatever evil crypts/bandit hideouts/wolf dens are on your doorstep and use your profit to build houses for your blacksmiths and farmers and so on. Also included is a "fame" mechanic, the more you kill, the more your fame increases, the more likely you are to have a necromancer of a bard want to set up shop in your pokey little hamlet (you can leave them in town to earn you money, or have them come out adventuring with you). Fame also decreases if you get knocked-out/seriously wounded, so it's a two way thing. It's not particularly deep but there's enough in there to keep my attention, I particularly liked the idea of planning how to upgrade my town. At £6.99 and four years old, it's not unreasonable to think that we'll see it at around 75% off in the sale. It isn't perfect and won't suit everybody, but I really warmed to it. P.s. some of us already got it from an Indie Royale bundle - it was mistakenly included with the Children Of The Nile key.

Sounds interesting, I'll keep my eye out for this one.

Sold on ARPG + Town Building Sim. I just realized, I stopped buying indie royale bundles. Last I bought was like 4-5 bundles ago.

Well dammit now you got Idiotekque off the hook. Now I will have to find something else to bug him about.

It's been in my backlog forever. I grabbed it on sale at one point on one of my big Steam sale crazy shopping sprees before I owned like half of the store and struggled to find anything to buy.

I will have to try it. I still also need to try the multiplayer mode in Two Worlds II which apparently can be played solo just fine and has a town building scenario.

Revelations 2012! It's so craptacular. And I'm ready to dance. Yes that really is a part of the game.

I have Hinterland on Direct2drive. Meaning I don't have it at all. Damn Gamefly!

I've been trying to convince myself that I'm still relatively young, but checking in on this thread now make me feel old. While technically "old enough" to see Star Wars, I did see The Empire Strikes Back In the theater. And I can actually say standing in an area I previously grew up in "this used to be farm land as far as I could see".


Edit: And how could you have never seen The Love Boat and Good Times? Really?!!! Next you'll say you've never seen my avatar?

One of my fond memories of youth. . . right up there with the Hoff in Knight Rider.

I think we should all make it our duty to buy an unknown game during the sale and report back with how it is. Imagine all the awesomeness we could unearth.

This.

Who knows, you might unearth the next Bad Rats. Imagine the geekcred!

That's a fun idea.

A Darksiders Franchise pack was added to the registry, so anything's possible. If they do beat the price though I'd only expect it to be by a few cents.

I have extra keys for the following games just in case they are on your buy list for the winter sale. PM me if you want anything.

The Binding of Isaac + Wrath of the Lamb DLC
Toki Tori

I think this sells me on Crusader Kings II:

Probably won't buy it on the current sale, but I'll consider it in the future.
