    Isn't there a site that tracks the dates of all previous Steam sales? And if not, shouldn't there be?

    This has 'em since 2010 It tracks them per-game, though. Here's Half-Life 2. Although that goes on sale a lot. Something like Guild Wars which rarely goes on sale at all is a more reliable way to date past mega-sales.

    Awesome. I was pretty sure I had seen this site before. Glad I wasn't crazy.

    ...:oops:

    Hey guys, I bought this pack of indie games on Steam and already have 3 of them. Do I get extra copies to gift to other people?

    Oh, also, how do I register my copy of Call of Duty 4 on Steam? I put in the CD key and it didn't work!
    My jokes are terrible.

    Finished my first play through of Chaos Rising, and I have to reiterate,

    Next time Dawn of War 2 Gold goes on sale, if you like CRPGs, definitely give it a shot even if only for the single player campaign.

    I went completely Pure my first play through, think I'm going to do another play through for Corrupt before moving onto Retribution.

    Man I am excited about this sale. At the end of next week I'll be moving somewhere with limited internet connectivity, for at least six months. I have a bunch of stuff in my backlog to chew through, but I'd like to top up on single player games while I have the chance.
    Maybe this means I will actually play the HL2 episodes >.>

    I found this on the Steam thread at www.hyper.com.au.
    What do you think? Bad joke or did something go pair-shaped on Valve's side and they had to pull it at the last minute?

    That was their theme from last year.

    Personal opinions and all but personally I think Retribution's campaign was a bit of a letdown after Chaos Rising and the original. Not nearly as much loot and the hero leveling process was not as in-depth as the others and the inclusion of being able to make units in mission kind of took the focus off the 4 main squads which I didn't really like.
    I still love Chaos Rising and the original and highly recommend them.

    OK, so, seriously, does that mean the game is no good? It apparently came out like a month ago and I don't remember ever hearing a thing about it until I somehow ran across it in the store.

    Come on. At worst, make it Final Fantasy Tactics, where the grid snaps down and everyone goes in initiative whenever you want to kick someone's face in.

    On a bright note, I snagged Europa Universalis III Complete for dirt cheap.

    ...I have no idea when I'm going to play this game.

    Hey, has anyone played this "Brown Vs. Entertainment Merchants Association" game that Steam is hyping on the front page?

    I tried to find the store page for a demo or something but it just links to some .pdf manual that talks about Dante's Inferno and Mortal Kombat and weird latin-sounding stuff.

    Hahahaha. Very funny.

    But seriously, did you guys read it?

    It's hilarious.

    I never expected a Supreme Court opinion would read like a line by line rebuttal from a Dungeons and Dragons rules forum. It's all, "Justice Scalia said '[This].' Ibid, idem, pro forma. So what?" All it needed was an accuation of "strawmanning" and it would have been perfect.

    It's truly a thing of glory. I was looking forward to the opinion since I heard some of the transcript of the trial.

    "I think what Justice Scalia wants to know is what James Madison thought about video games. Did he enjoy them?"

    Priceless.

    I'm pretty sure the Sega Classics Packs received a price cut a few months back. The Mega Drive ones were a lot more expensive than £5.50 when they launched.
