    Mmm. New thread smell.

    So, I made it through the Ubisoft sale without a single purchase. Clearly I need help.

    I played JC2 as a helicopter theft simulator with occasional ground sequences. I won't say I never had ammo issues, but they were never bad enough to make me buy weapons or ammo from the merchant.

    While having the title be deals is probably more helpful, it's less amusing than random junk :(

    Maybe you could change "Daily Deal" to "Daily Shitpile" for Dino D-Day.

    Man, I miss the funny thread titles. If people need the current sales in the thread title because they're too lazy to take ten seconds to start/navigate to Steam and see for themselves, fuck 'em. The thread starter should be able to set the title according to his whim.

    This is what I said and did, but I was promptly yelled at as soon as people were too lazy to look at the store page in the Steam app or website. So it's been deals ever since.

    Looks like Thief Deadly Shadows is a second Midweek Madness sale for only $5. Just got the tweet about it and confirmed it in specials, but it's not on the front page of the store yet.

    EDIT:
    Beat'd repeatedly.

    I seem to recall there have been a couple of mods for Thief. Better textures and widescreen support or some such. Does anyone happen to have the link to those handy?

    Eh, I can probably find it through Google before someone posts.

    I have no earthly idea what the point of that post was intended to be.

    If you had quoted the part of my post where I raged at the makers of Frozen Synapse for giving their game such a non-intuitive title and harumphed that they should have named it Vector-Graphic Tactical Fighty-Mans so I won't have to do any research on what it was about, it might have made more sense.

    :D

    For those who own Magicka, they've released their next DLC pack, Magicka: Nippon.
    Paradox Interactive will be donating 50% of revenue for Magicka: Nippon to the Japan Relief Support program.

    Also, TF2 hat if you buy before June 5th if you're into that.

    It's not so much an expansion pack as just DLC is it?

    $1 for a robe, staff, and sword. Not a bad deal, but not an expansion pack.

    If the Steam thread falls to page 2 it means we have all failed.

    THE LINE MUST BE DRAWN HERE!

    Not sure if want Thief: Deadly Shadows since I haven't played the first two and they're not on Steam.

    On the other hand, I hear that it has the scariest level in any game known to man.

    Deadly Shadows is probably not quite as good as the first two.

    But that's ok because it means that it's just great instead of incredible.

    I don't always post in the thread, even if I read it pretty often to see opinions on sales or what new game is coming out soon.

    You are free to put whatever you want in the rest of the topic but the keyword needs to remain sacrosanct. As soon as you make that thing useless to easily search for a topic you have fucked up being a thread owner.

    While I never came close to beating the first two Thief games, they were excellent. Very intense as you attempt to sneak through a house without being seen and grabbing all the loot you can.

    I've also got Deadly Shadows and also never made it very far. I've never seen the oft-mentioned Cradle.

    The first two Thief games should be prime candidates for GoG due to various compatibility issues, but they are not there.
