    So @Viking stole the upper hand and gifted me something that isn't even out yet. OMD2! This war is getting dirty. Then in my angry blast, @Sutibunri sends me some steampunk Guns of Icarus. I must go to bed and ponder my next moves.

    Yes, but Bejewelled leads to Puzzle Quest. Puzzle Quest leads to Torchlight. And before you know it, she'll be scarfing down indie bundles with both hands. So it has been written. So it shall come to pass.

    Hehe! I am going to be watching the Indie sales now for things she might enjoy.

    So Prince of Persia '08 is unplayable for me because it basically freezes every time I try to start a new game. I mean, it doesn't truly freeze, but the loading screen animates in extreme slow motion, like maybe one frame every five seconds until I finally lose patience and ctrl+alt+del the damn thing.

    The really sad part is...I have owned PoP08 since last summer sale, and am only finding this out now because I have never installed it.

    I don't think I had a problem with the loading screens, but when I was playing, any particle effects in-game would pretty much make it grind to a halt for a few seconds. It was pretty frustrating, so I quit playing.

    RE: PoP 2008 slow framerate issue

    Has anyone tried the steps from this steam forums thread.
    Open dare.ini in the game folder, and change DISABLE_OPTIMISATION=FALSE to DISABLE_OPTIMISATION=TRUE. Save the file and try again.

    ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Prince of Persia is where it's located.

    So I'm hoping that nothing too crazy comes up for a couple days here. Starting to feel the steam sale hit.
    So far I am in for: SSF4:AE, Binding of Isaac DLC, Trine 2, Witcher 2, Shogun 2, and The Walking dead.

    Portal 2 came in a 2-pack.

    and actually, The Ship is a 5-pack - the 2 gift copies you get each have another gift copy hidden inside them.

    Kind of, but that's basically a compulsory 2-pack. There's no way to buy a single copy of the game. Same with The Ship.

    BTW, that gamestop deal is insane. Grabbed some 360 games I don't ever play anymore, either because I own them on PC now or because I just got tired of them (Just Cause 2, Mass Effect 2, AC Brotherhood, The Saboteur, and a couple others) and got $50 in steam credit.

    There was a steam sig here. It's gone now.

    @custom special has declared a gift war against me while gifting me Civ V as I put the kids to bed. Unfortunately, it will probably be the last time I see them as I will be consumed by its charms.

    Class has forced me to dip into my city-state reserves and retaliate against him, and a few other lads. Winter is coming.

    Thank you @JMan711 for Guns of Icarus, I had been in the middle of purchasing copies to gift out to others as you struck, ensuring I too would enjoy some Steampunk.
    @AerynKelly Sent me Dead Rising 2: Off the Record in retaliation for my gifting spree, truly, a much too generous retort. I get to be Frank West again!
    @Inzigna apparently hates Steampunk, as in retaliation for a copy of Guns Of Icarus, I received a copy of F.E.A.R. 3.. which I'm sure will be terrifying.

    I had a problem getting Dead Rising 2: OTR to recognize my controller, and I encountered a sound glitch that cut out all game sound for that session (but I could still get sound from the GFWL menu), but its DR2. The game is fun, and I look forward to playing more of it.

    PHEW! I was worried. I was looking at the dlc from the flash sale and noticed you had it on your WL, so had my opportunity for revenge *cut to evil laugh*, then after getting it and sending it, I notice you had the BASE game on your WL too! I was hoping that would work out:)

    So I'm just chilling out watching "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle" when what should appear? Yeah, that Classy Aussie @KafkaAU has struck again and gifted me "Age of Empire III: Complete Collection"! Between that, CK2, Shogun 2, Civ IV, and Mount & Blade: Warband - I don't think I'll ever not be managing something for a long while.
