    Okay this isn't very fair... I got Shogun 2 yesterday for 50% off.

    And it shows up today for 75% off? Way to screw the people who actually decide to take advantage of a deal... You guys think they'd refund me 25% or something?

    So I picked up Sequence, and the way this game is advertised has me feeling like I should put out a small word of warning.

    Firstly, the game is only compatible with Xbox 360 controllers. If you want to use anything else, you'll need a work around. Doable, but annoying.

    However! Even if you get around that speed bump, something else I didn't learn until after purchase was that "you can play it with a dance pad" means "you can play it with a dance pad, if you don't mind holding a controller (or your keyboard) at the same time." The game can not be played with just a dance pad.

    Ugh. I am made to be grump. Only two and a half dollars worth of grump, of course, but still grump. And you seemed so cool, Sequence.

    It works with a logitech 510 in XInput mode as a fyi. Microsoft seems to have cornered the market with Xinput it seems.

    I'm using a Logitech F310, myself. It works fine with that, although it uses the XBox 360 driver anyway.

    Since everyone is doing the counting of the spoils:

    Things I bought for myself:
    Chantelise
    Defense Grid DLC
    Dungeons of Dredmor DLC
    Sequence
    Dungeon Defenders DLC (genderswaps and accidental Warping Core)

    Things I gifted:
    PA Adventures EP1&2 along with Dredmor and Jamestown DLC to @Mike Danger
    Dredmor DLC to @Adellios
    Jamestown (deluxe package with soundtrack and DLC) to @Stryker43
    Gundemonium Recollection to @SkutSkut
    Toki Tori and EDGE to @DaringDirk

    Things I got gifted:
    X3 Gold (Reunion and Terran Conflict) from the Gift Pile
    Batman: Arkham Asylum from @Mike Danger's giveaway
    Alien Vs Predator from @SkutSkut
    AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! from @DaringDirk
    X3: Albion Prelude from the Gift Pile (late from the X3 Gold I received first)
    The Ball from @Rhiley's giveaway
    Beat Hazard Complete from @PaleCommander's giveaway
    ...and to round it all up, Terraria from @DisruptedCapitalist (after he questioned my sanity, j/k)

    This was the first time I actually was involved in a significant way in the merry classiness of this place, and I gotta say, I need a better source of income because I want to be more classy and own my personal monocle and top hat. I want to give Skyrims too and not feel content with small games on people's wishlists :(

    Thanks to the classy @DisruptedCapitalist for the copy of Terraria! I've been curious about this for awhile but never pulled the trigger because there wasn't a demo I'm a fun-hating asshole.

    Yes you are, but the problem is solved, so you are forgiven.

    @jclast, you need to log on to Steam, you're not done getting gifts yet. :P

    I was doing a self-audit the other night to assess the damage done to my retirement fund, so here goes

    Purchased for Myself:
    Metro 2033
    Mass Effect
    Mass Effect 2
    Torchlight
    Divinity II
    Hard Reset
    Skyrim
    Nuclear Dawn
    X3: Albion Prelude

    E.Y.E.

    Won in the Holiday Objectives:

    Overall, 63% of my spending went to gifting, the remaining 37% for myself. I spent a bit more than I had anticipated spending, but not to the point where I'm going to commit seppuku before the CC bills come in.

    This was the year where I really started buying stuff on Steam (maybe 8 or 9 games were in my Library at this time last year, it's 96 now), and my first holiday spent gifting to the awesome folks of PA. Had a good deal of fun getting coal and coupons too! So, yay, starting off the new year with good feelings!

    6 people on my friends list want it, so I'm sure you can find some interested people. [it being magicka]

    Anyone here play Recettear, and have a few pointers? I'm just barely getting by, and now I'm half a day from defaulting on the loan. Every week I get the required money about halfway through the day it's due on, usually by selling one big item, so I can't really get anything good going. The strategy I've worked out is to do one or two dungeon runs a week, buy from the market as much as possible, buybuybuy whenever something goes blue, sellsellsell whenever it goes red. I feel like I'm getting by OK but the loan repayments are just too much for me to handle while also building up stock.

    Also, kids have no money and can barely be bartered with. Does selling them cheap shit sort of level them up, meaning that they'll gradually have more and more money?

    50 percent was the basic sale price Satsumomo. It was that for the past 2 weeks. It was 75 percent off a few days ago as a daily special (as were all Total War games). Today is a "best of" sale day, all repeats.

    If you hit anyone's sweet spots deal wise you'll level them up so they have more cash (and it's also great exp). I'd say really, early on just focus on leveling up and trying to hit sweet spots, even if it means you're going to default on the loan. Don't stress out, let it come and if you fail it, you'll be way ahead for the next go.

    Overall, 63% of my spending went to gifting, the remaining 37% for myself. I spent a bit more than I had anticipated spending, but not to the point where I'm going to commit seppuku before the CC bills come in.

    This was the year where I really started buying stuff on Steam (maybe 8 or 9 games were in my Library at this time last year, it's 96 now), and my first holiday spent gifting to the awesome folks of PA. Had a good deal of fun getting coal and coupons too! So, yay, starting off the new year with good feelings!
    Oh dang! I just accepted 3 friend requests on Steam. I will on to my windows PC after my wife and I are done watching the premiere of Terra Nova (we are not especially good at watching recorded things in a timely manner). I can, however, give you an early thank you and a belated merry Christmas! :)

    I mean, you could always ask them for a partial refund. Wouldn't hurt. Probably be slow and a no, but no harm in trying.

    Just did, stating that I would love to get the extra DLC with the difference, fingers crossed.

    6 people on my friends list want it, so I'm sure you can find some interested people. [it being magicka]

    Anyone here play Recettear, and have a few pointers? I'm just barely getting by, and now I'm half a day from defaulting on the loan. Every week I get the required money about halfway through the day it's due on, usually by selling one big item, so I can't really get anything good going. The strategy I've worked out is to do one or two dungeon runs a week, buy from the market as much as possible, buybuybuy whenever something goes blue, sellsellsell whenever it goes red. I feel like I'm getting by OK but the loan repayments are just too much for me to handle while also building up stock.

    Also, kids have no money and can barely be bartered with. Does selling them cheap shit sort of level them up, meaning that they'll gradually have more and more money?

    If you hit anyone's sweet spots deal wise you'll level them up so they have more cash (and it's also great exp). I'd say really, early on just focus on leveling up and trying to hit sweet spots, even if it means you're going to default on the loan. Don't stress out, let it come and if you fail it, you'll be way ahead for the next go.
    It's probably better to be going for combos to grind xp, rather than worrying too much about hitting sweet spots or money. Not meeting the loan isn't the end of the world

    Since the sale ends soon, now's the time to grab your items that didn't have a daily sale, but are still discounted right now.

    Here are a few off the top of my head (all less than $10):

    *The Oddbox: -75% ($3.75 for collection of all four Oddworld games, normally $15--heck, Stranger's Wrath is normally $10 by itself)
    *Ghostbusters: -50% ($5 now, normally $10)
    *Longest Journey: -75% ($6.25 for collection of both games, normally $25)
    *Saints Row 2: -50% ($7.50 now, normally $15) [Be sure to get IdolNinja's "Gentlemen of the Row" mod if you get this]
    *Blade Kitten: -50% ($5 now, normally $10)
    *Penumbra: -60% ($8 for collection of both games plus expansion, normally $20) [These are the precursors to Amnesia: the Dark Descent]
