Whoa, Woke up this morning to find a friend invite from @Handgimp that I accepted and immediately got a gift copy of Fortune Summoner. Apparently people had suggested I deserve a copy of it for his contest. Super thanks to him and everyone who suggested me. I feel super honored to be a part of such a classy community.

Use Eurogamer50 as code to get 50% off. That means Space marine for 5€, or RF:A for 5 euros. Saints row 3 for 15€
not 100% sure if it's worked or not yet but I've just been charged £4.29 for Space Marine, just waiting for the code to come through but I'm pretty sure SR3 code took a while from them. All I did was put France as my country, still paid with my uk paypal account.
I'll update if the code comes through
UPDATE - it worked, just under 3 hours to come through nut who cares for £4.29!

From memory of the last time there was a Space Marine sale at THQ, when I got my copy, it took forever for the code to come through. Hours. I was about this far away from emailing their support in frustration. But it did turn up eventually.

I just finished another assassination in Assassin's Creed 1. I can't be bothered to remember who it was as they all blend together. It was the first assassination where I wondered if I'd just done it horribly wrong. It was the guy who was going to execute four people. He said something and then all the guards in the crowd started attacking me even though I was holding down the blend button the whole time I was there. I managed to trap the target in a corner and just went to work on him, but it didn't seem like that was the way to go. Maybe my thought process of "I'm supposed to sneak in, kill him, then sneak out with minimal attention" is wrong. Stabbing the guy in the face in the middle of an army then running like hell through the city seems to be the tactic of choice.
I seem to recall in an Assassin's Creed thread from a few years back that someone mentioned that was historically how the Hashashin preferred to take their targets out -- a full profile kill with many witnesses.
This video actually shows the proper way to kill the guy you're talking about:
So I've been waiting for months to have a gaming rig so I can play all these great games I've been reading about. I even bought some games during the Winter Sale and put a few on my Christmas list in anticipation of finally playing them. I grabbed a couple of Humble Indie Bundles.
I put my machine together last week, and I let all the games download. This may have been a mistake. I now have a huge pile of games staring at the face, and I'm wandering from one to another like a kid in a candy store. And, like a kid who has just mainlined one of those pixie sticks, I have the attention span of a Weird Al Yankovic polka mix.

if you paid by paypal it's not really a problem if you didn't put your email in the right place (though it probably wouldn't accept it if you didn't) you can find the order on the thq site using the order number and password

Yes. Eventually you just do the purchasing, and stop playing any of the games altogether.

Oh, scribes. I really need to learn to save citizens. I only do it when I need scribes to get through a gate or something to follow someone for an interrogation. Thanks for the video.
It could be that the FO:NV Ultimate is a seperate listing in the steam list, which means that you can own both GOTY and Ultimate.
Yes. This is how I have two versions of Fallout 3. Although in Fallout 3 I did it because the DLC was handled through GFWL, which I detested. New Vegas DLC is all Steamworks.

Yes it does, it does indeed. I did the exact same thing. And now I am a steam/slickdeals whore. I used slickdeals to get most of the parts for my rig, which I built about 7 months or so ago, and while i was doing so, and since then, have turned into a steam-a-holic.

Last night my 3 year old son was playing with a toy train and I said, "You want to see a choo choo game?" He said yeah, so I loaded up Railworks. He was mesmerized. He was almost scared to touch the mouse when he has never been before. Almost reverential. When that steam engine gave that first puff of smoke, he actually said, "wow". I finally had to turn it off when it was bath time, and he threw a fit.
Goodbye wallet.
Haha.
Last night when I saw "Sir Carcass is now playing Railworks" popup on Steam I thought to myself "What's that all about?"

As someone who just upgraded his Gfx card and reclaimed my Steam Account - Yes. It only gets worse from here. Good luck!
your post made me go take a look at Jamestown's steam page and it looks like something I might find appealing. Anyone want to weigh in on this game? what it is like, if it is fun, and most importantly, is it worth getting?
thanks in advance
I don't really like shmups/bullet hell games. They just seem to have too much shit going on for me to actually feel like I'm playing them. I don't see how anyone other than superhumans can play. Jamestown came in the Humble Indie Bundle #4, though, so I tried it out, and I love it. It's easy enough that I don't feel like I'm playing Super Japanese Ball Crusher Extreme Blowup Surprise Explode Time, the music/story/setting/graphics are all stupendous, and it's just all-around a good experience. Can't recommend it enough if you at all enjoy top down shooters/shmups/bullet hells, and even if you don't it might be worth it.

I don't know about slickdeals- I've been a Newegg customer mostly. Of course, now I'm probably going to get sucked into slickdeals. WHAT HAVE I DONE.
Also, Jamestown looks and sounds gorgeous from the two minutes I loaded it up.

Oh dear, what have I done. I must tell you, slickdeals isn't an online retailer like newegg. I actually bought most of my rigs parts from newegg. I just knew about the deals and coupons from slickdeals. Slickdeals is just a website/forum for cheapskates. Cheapskates who like deals, really good deals. It's like the deals we talk about on here for steam, but for everything, at every retailer/website imaginable. It can take over your life if your not careful. I can't even count how many games/game related stuff I've gotten at huge discounts from there. So I'm sorry or your welcome. I'm not sure which.
I think I spent about 20$ total getting all the fallout NV stuff over the course of sales. Hah. I win, Steam! This time, at least.
Now to go buy something to offset the savings.
I agree, the New Vegas sales during thanksgiving and holiday sales were pretty good. I believe it was $16.54 US for everything, sale time. Which was great since I gifted 4 copies or so.
Pain the rear to send it all individually though. Ultimate will be much easier in that sense, though I wonder when it'll reach comparable or lower prices.

If you have a friend or two, Jamestown Co-op is highly recommended. I put it on my laptop, use an HDMI out, and connect a few controllers for a damn fine arcade experience. Single player is a complete blast as well, but if you're not a hardcore shmup dude, stay away from the challenges. Only frustration lurks past that screen, my friend.
The other bonus options are pretty great though, and I can't stress this enough: When you unlock the option for a more silly story, TURN. IT. ON.
