This thread will attempt to provide a place to discuss past/present/future PC gaming deals. While mainly focusing on Steam games, any standout sales may also be presented. I will not be updating every Daily/Weekly/etc. sale. The tools to help individuals become a smarter shopper will be provided below.

Guys, you'd grossed spoder out to the point I can understand what he's typing... or you've weirded me out to the point where I can understand spoder-isms.

Either way.

Stop it.

Guys. We've got bigger things to worry about than getting me laid.

SNK PEE JUST RELEASED METAL SLUG 2 ON STEAM, AND IT'S ANOTHER DOTEMU PORT. And I'm not sure why they released this since Metal Slug X is Metal Slug 2 with bugfixes. What the heck is SNK Pee thinking? WHY DO THEY KEEP HIRING DOTEMU? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Also to everyone who wants a key, have you even tried their other ports? Bad Rats is pretty well programmed compared to those. :|

+1 needs not quality.

I know no one cares so you're going to know that I finished the Diablo 3 season goals tonight despite only having started the game like a week ago.  Only played it 35 hours already...

 
But those who got it on facebook glitch or whatever did so during Early Access and can get half of season pass free. So it would be cheaper to wait for second to release.
I think there are 2 more DLCs planned, so we don't have half of the content if I'm reading the forum posts correctly

Look what showed up on Steam.

Do you think Humble Bundle will get Steam keys for that SNK bundle?

From what I've read, it's pointless to own Metal Slug 2 if you own Metal Slug X.. I wasn't going to take a gamble on that SNK bundle anyway so it doesn't affect me.. and yes, I've tried Metal Slug 3. Ran fine and I think I finished it with a friend.

Dark Souls 3 is fun.  I have been playing in my weretable costume, basically I have saved body hair from the vacuum taped all over a kitchen table and I sit under it while I play.  It helps to have a lot of pets.  

I dunno.  Between arguing with GMG because my birthday voucher doesn't work, the weird turn in this thread and six hours of trying to remember how to play a Souls game, I think I just need to run outside and sprint down the street screaming YOU DIED over and over at the top of my lungs until I pass out and nap on the sidewalk.  Or something?  God I am hungry.

FOR fuckS SAKE GMG LET ME USE MY VOUCHER AND FAKEY SOME SHIT.  I am trying to spend money i don't have here.  help me out.

 
Guise, halp... tremor keeps giving me 6 coins for watching 60 seconds of some concert... I want it to stop, but I can't stop...

Nice!

I think I waited too long to start on the extra stash tab objectives. All I need is one more conquest but doing gr45 with no sets is harder than I thought.
 
Yes There Is a Deal

TL;DR Explanation is
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/isthereanydeal#announcements/detail/887582442904995327

Yes, There Is A Deal!
APRIL 15 - TOMAS3333
Last time I've asked you what do you consider to be a good deal. Before that, I've showed you that we have two twitter accounts, in case you weren't aware of that - second one being YesThereIsADeal.

If you've put a two and two together, you might have suspected I'm doing something with it.

So...

Yes, There Is A Deal!

What's it? That Twitter account has been active for quite some time now, in fact, for 3 years already. It is posting one deal each hour that my algorithm thinks is interesting enough to consider.

TL;DR: we now have a standalone web for that as well: http://yesthereisadeal.com

Twitter account will still be active, but you can find more info on the website. Moreover it's not US only like Twitter is. It also brings a little bit of community aspect to it - you can voice your opinion whether you think the deal is good or bad, and help others to decide if they should go for it.

Why?

For few reasons:

Twitter account is only posting deals from US region. That's not quite fair.
I wanted to make some small and quick side project
It may (or may not) be interesting as a standalone website
I wanted to learn new things

On a personal note

Announcement is done, I'll ramble for a little bit more though, so feel free to check out the web now[yesthereisadeal.com]!

When I said small and quick side project... yeah, it wasn't that quick. I wanted to try some new things because I'm stuck in the past regarding development, so I've checkout out Sass and React mainly.

Sass is awesome, no need to talk about that, but React is a little bit different. I love the idea, and it was probably overkill for this, but I was so slow developing in it and it caused me so many problems it's unbelievable.

In fact, whole idea of modern front-end development feels weird. Compiling javascript? That's just perverse... I'm not sure if I'll be using it elsewhere but I'm glad I've tried it though. It may come in handy, now that I have some idea how it works.

I have also used media queries for a little bit of responsivness (which is something unheard of on ITAD). It works fine on PC, when I tried it on my phone and tablet I saw it could use a bit more work, but I've already spent too too much time on this, so next time.

Also, I honestly am not sure if anyone will be visiting YTIAD. I mean, we have ITAD and Waitlists, right? But we'll see. I think Zelgaris made a really good job with design, and I hope I butchered it only a little. And I like that you can vote for deals.

Algorithm may be further improved as well, if you have ideas don't hesitate to contact me.

And anyway, what do you think?
But basically it's a site where people can rate deals to filter out the crap ones (ie the 10% off new release bundle fodder that will be in a bundle next week that Reddit Game Deals loves to post).

 
Why a lot of people are buying Legends of Eisenwald? I'm missing something? I know it is on sale... But...
It's mostly people like me who know better, but are too impatient to wait on a bundle even though we know we won't play it anytime soon.

The 75% off is a new low for this game. It was just recently a daily deal on the Chrono.gg site and a "daily" on Steam.

 
Well there's also the fact that the y u no bai crowd got the base on a glitch and the season pass is on sale which is unlikely to get bundled since DLC rarely does.

But yeah I'm in the too impatient to wait for a bundle even though I probably won't play it before that crowd.

Also it seems like something that would get bundled in Humble and not so much Poopees or Gala. Humble has been a miss for me since the one revealed game for monthlies I tend to have so I skip them usually. I could also see it in some expensive higher tier with a bunch of crap I already have.

Yes I'm rationalizing but I dunno it seems better than the average Gala material and definitely better than Poopees, which doesn't take much these days since they set the bar so low.

Metal Slug 2 is different than Metal Slug X. Not just bug fixes. The first boss is completely different and the first level is at day rather than night.

MSX is I think a better package, but Metal Slug 2 is not pointless.

 
what will happen first? deadpool below 19.99 or pulled from steam again?
They probably only renewed the license again because of the movie. I imagine they'll let it run through the end of the year and maybe hope for a slight uptick in sales when the DVD/Bluray comes out but I wouldn't be shocked if they let it lapse again at some point.

Ok, good to know. I'll probably skip it unless it gets bundled again. One major difference in the steam version of MSX is that is has online co-op, while MS2 doesn't.

Humble Activision Bundle.

I'll see myself out.

 
All my America bros, be sure to do your taxes by Monday, or Uncle Trump will deport you to Mexico where Foxhack will spoon you in his fox suit.
That's how I know you aren't a member of the Trumpenyouth. Real supporters of the Trumpenfuhrer call him Daddy, not Uncle.

Daddy's gonna build the wall, make America great again, make anime real, and kick all the shitty indie games off steam and there's nothing you furry mexibros can do about it deal with it.

It's still largely the same game. MS games play in like 45 minutes if you credit feed and if you like them as much as I do, it's worth doing all of them just for the spectacle. If you don't want to do every MS game just because you can, then it is skippable.

The Dotemu ports bug me though. The autofire runs far faster than it does in arcades. Feels completely off. I can deal with the rest of their bullcrap except for that.

While making you listen to video game soundtracks...

(Surprisingly, I got both state and federal back this year... First time in like 9 years.

I usually owe the Feds like 30 bucks and get 100 and change back from state.)
 
please also remember to add your steam card income to your tax return!

edit and maybe use some of your returns on huniecam for 5.04 at GMG!

You used to be able to use a vpn but lately they've been Paypal locking most non indie games so that it just won't let you buy them from a payment account with a US address even if you use a vpn.

There's also some publishers you have to watch because they region lock the actual keys on Steam.

Someone else could probably give you more specifics for Warner's Batman stuff on Nuuvem but in general I find Nuuvem more pain than it's worth lately except for maybe the odd indie game I feel like semi-fakeying but not full on fakeying.
