    I don't think Lewie got a list of the standalone stuff. I don't recall seeing such a list anyway.

    At a glance, I believe the things in packs are often on sale on their own (I'm not saying that's absolutely how it is, but for example we had the Chaos Rising pack the other day, and DoW2 Gold (with CR) was also reduced by a good amount, and then there's a bunch of things that were on sale but not in packs.

    So I'd assume that the 6-10+ pack stuff will mostly (if not all?) be on sale individually as well, and then we'll have a bunch of non-packed sales alongside them.

    Having beaten and loved Trine, I think I'll be in for at least one pack today.

    I suppose that means Trine is good. I was wondering about that. It's pretty much that and Just Cause I might have interest in. We'll see how the prices are when the offers roll out.

    Not all the packs are sold individually. I think each day about 2 of the packs is also sold single, then the indie pack, and 5 or 6 other single games are discounted.

    That doesn't really give us much to work with.

    Well I'm running Windows 7 on a Vaio, it runs crysis on medium though so it's a decent laptop for games. Every other game I've run on Steam works fine, but this goes to a black full screen, comes back, goes back to a black screen, and then crashes, and goes to the 'windows is searching for a solution to your problem' screen. I've tried reinstalling, checking the game files, restarting etc.

    Huh. I'm not sure what it could be, although I've had similar issue before with some games due to graphics drivers, but I don't know if updating them would fix it for you. Some older games haven't worked on my Win 7 until I updated my drivers. Sorry, I don't know what the problem is.

    ..and beated.


    This is probably a silly suggestion but I have to ask.. have you tried running the exe in winxp compatibility mode? That fixes some of the issues I run into trying to play steam stuff. The other thing I try if drivers are not being wonkey with anything else is while the game is running set the program to just use 1 core if you are running a multi core rig. Task manager->Right click on the process for hte game and select" set affinity" un-check all but one of the cores. good luck man

    Cogs is outstanding if you've ever enjoyed sliding tile puzzles of any kind.

    I'm glad to be back in my home country so Steam will actually let me buy any kind of shit. Frustrating to be in the US and have Steam refuse transactions because my IP doesn't match Canada.

    Does anyone remember that Ubisoft online store error from a few months back where a bunch of games were being sold for $1 each? That was good times, and I wish I had bought a few more copies for other people here. I got 4 copies of Splinter Cell Conviction for myself and some friends, along with Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands for myself.

    I remember missing it as I went to sleep that night about a half an hour before it went down. Now I'm sitting here waiting for all three of those games to hit a sale and so far nada outside of the coming Conviction pack. I though for sure AC2 would hit a sale this time.

    I'm tempted to get Supreme Commander 2 just because it's so cheap and I really like strategy games, but the gameplay footage I've seen looks really unappealing. Sure, there's a ton of units, but they don't seem to mesh together well, and they animate very stiffly and awkwardly.

    Still, $3.75...

    I only played the demos for Supreme Commander 1 and 2, but even then the differences were hugely apparent. I remember being interested in Supreme Commander 1 and not having a system to run it, then trying Supreme Commander 2 and spending the whole demo going "this is it?" Even the demo was disappointing.

    So that would break down to 5 per game? Whats that in american on steam?

    I need to know, cause all i have is $7.52 in my steam wallet, and i will probably need to make a trade with someone who buys a bundle to get the game.

    yeah, supcom 1 was sorta interesting but my computer just wasn't up to it at the time, and the new one just... blehhhhhh

    I'm going to buy Galcon Fusion instead. Even though I know there's basically flash versions of it out there. It's fun, I'm digging it for $2.50.
