    Someone explain Napoleon/Empire to me. Which one's the shitty one again?

    Last time I checked, this was supposed to be Empire. But I picked it up a while back, and really enjoyed it. Apparently it was far more buggy immediately after release. Still, both for £6...it's in the basket.

    Anyone up for helping me get the Day of Defeat achievements? I hear you can't do Kalt solo because of the way the map is designed.

    You can game it using console commands.

    sv_cheats 1
    mp_limitteams 20
    bot
    sv_cheats 0
    reset

    When the game begins:

    bot_mimic 1

    This will cause the bot to do everything you do on top of you, letting you nab the center point on Kalt that requires a teammate.

    NOTE: You cannot get achievements on servers where cheats are active. That's why you turn them off after spawning the bot and reset the round.

    Did this, except just turning the cheats on and off in a single line works too, just sv_cheats 1;bot;sv_cheats 0

    Thanks

    Thing is, I have Empire. Just no DLC. But buying just Napoleon would cost more than buying both plus all DLC.

    I may just buy both.

    I'm probably buying both.

    Someone stop me.

    Well, I'm down to being able to probably purchase ONE more game. I am really, really tempted to pick up Amnesia, but I know as soon as I do that Metro 2033 will go on sale tomorrow.


    DECISIONS!

    Help me decide: pick up Amnesia, or hope for a Metro 2033 sale tomorrow? Help me choose, and choose wisely.

    I bought both yesterday for $20, so really, you're under a moral obligation to get it for cheap in my stead.

    Did the bot thing as well, worked like a charm. In case anyone can't figure out how to enable the console, it's under advanced options. Copy paste this
    sv_cheats 1; bot; bot_mimic 1; sv_cheats 0

    and you're all set. Just keep in mind that the bot spawns at the spawn point, so use it at the beginning of the map and guide it to the bridge cap point. The other two points can be capped solo.

    You know, I'd like to stop you. But your thought process mirrors mine exactly, which is why *it is also in my basket*

    So, someone help us

    Both are pretty common sale fodder, but metro probably pops up more often

    So completely unexpectedly Red Alert 3 is the first RTS to challenge me in a loooong time.
    I really can't tell if I'm rusty or it's just a different play style, I'm not used to having to repeat campaign missions on what amounts to normal difficutly.

    overall: good buy!

    DiamondGFX is pure class, and has provided me with Amnesia, which is to say, the gift of a sleepless night on my night off tomorrow. Many, many thanks.

    ...wait, what's that noise?

    Now I have to go to bed with the light on. (Thanks again!)

    I have only spent $23.74 during this sale! I am only serving the Newell... a little bit.

    I'm planning on picking up a few titles tomorrow that probably won't go on sale (Eschalon Book 1 & 2, Dreamfall Pack, Bloodlines) so I can actually say that I'm proud of the restraint I've shown during this sale.

    I spent about the same amount. I deposited 25 dollars into my steam wallet before the sale, and have slightly over a dollar left
