Day 355,
One of the great old buildings collapsed today, killing about a dozen of what's left of us on the street below. Unfortunately it also took out my main route to market, so I had to take a slightly less scenic route, if you can consider malfunctioning and rusted out sewage pipes scenic at all. Air was still thick as molasses by the time I hit the town, debris and dust lingering even if no one wanted them around. Kept my scarf wrapped tightly around the lower half of my face as a makeshift filter, even as I got to the sewer entrance. No telling what kind of bad smells or bad rats would be eeking out of the walls down there.
Even with my guardian, my protector, the smell of hundreds of years of humanity's dark side slipped through. It was enough to gag me until my senses gave in to this grim moment and closed their doors. I'd spent about a half an hour slipping over solidified slop before I came to a four way split. My mind was muddled, unable to concentrate and mentally retrace my steps to remember where I was in town. I dug through my kit and unfolded my torn, stained map and started to count out my movements to myself.
A human voice that was not my own echoed down from around the corner. It was loud and boisterous, cheering many things that didn't quite make it to my ears as words. The walls corroded so much of the sound. The source drew nearer, I felt myself reaching for my trusty but degrading USP Compact, flipping the safety off as I removed it from its holster. From around the corner, the most cheerful son of a bitch this side of the apocalypse I'd ever seen came tumbling about. His energy was so positive he was practically glowing. His arms were outstretched, revealing a faded t-shirt that read "Visit Beautiful Arcadia!" By the time I'd made sense of his pleased state, he was already in front of me, holding my shoulders with his hands.
"...and it is important, brother! It is important to say: I Am Alive! Say I AM ALIVE because you know this to be the wonderful truth in the face of adversar..." his hands slipped from their place and he continued his merry march through shit mountain. He faded from view, but his smile and lively energy was infectious. I may be in the worst place left on earth, but he was right about one thing.
I haven;'t found anything, but I want you to know you are good at pictures. I'm just gonna look at all of them. Or, I would, but you have about 1.3 million photos
Another dumb question (forgive me, but I'm new to the gifting thing): If I were to buy the Orcs Must Die! franchise, which is on sale right now, since I already have Orcs Must Die!, could I then gift that to someone?
Also, not for you specifically, but I saw it on the OMD2 page: if you don't have many indie games, there are a shitload of good ones in this mega pack for the cost of a single retail game and a fast food lunch. Jesus.

Yeah, that's definitely a good deal. I have probably 25-50% of those games already, but it would probably still be worth it.
I'm kinda on the fence with OMD2. I suck balls at the original. I don't know what my problem is. Maybe I have a thing against killing orcs. I should probably get that looked at.
@Testsubject23 gifted me Diesel Stuff, an expansion for The Sims 3 to give my wife. I've had a few other people already message me about gifting her stuff and I'm nearly in tears right now just thinking about how happy she's going to be with this. Thank you everyone.
Edit: I just wanna make sure I don't screw this up. I have the gift sitting in my pending gifts now. I've not accepted it yet. How do I get it to my wife's account?

There should be an option to accept it to your inventory. Once there you can gift it to your wife.

So I just heard back from my "Play All The Steam Games" buddy. I've sent Bad Rats, a HiB code with Super Meat Boy, Lone Surviror and Briad, and then Binding of Isaac. I just got a facebook message. "I hate you"
Have you considered giving him the holiday warm fuzzy feelings that only Amnesia can provide?
I haven;'t found anything, but I want you to know you are good at pictures. I'm just gonna look at all of them. Or, I would, but you have about 1.3 million photos
Yeah, I can't find anything either, and maybe he removed them, but these are some of the most comely Anime Convention goers I've ever seen in my entire life.
If there's one thing I have to thank the Steam thread for, it's reminding me that Amazon is going to try and beat Steam's deals and that I should always check there before clicking 'buy'.
Especially, of course, in cases where the games register on Steam anyways.

We've said it once, but I'll say it again. I wish I could use Amazon credit card points on digital goods. That Hitman deal is money, but I want to use Amazon funbux.

Man people make it so fucking hard to do nice things for.
You pull up in a plow truck and plow them out and they come out of their house all "I'm not paying you to do that" and I tell them that I'm just paying it forward and they give you the weirdest look.
But in the end I plowed a bunch of random peoples driveways, I also plowed a car into a parking space because I saw a guy pull in and park across two handicap spots and leave his car running so he could run into grocery store, no placard or plates so I did a pass across the parking lot and put a snowbank up past his back bumper and called the cops. Big fat snowbank nice and packed in that he couldn't back through and those pesky signposts marking the spots blocked him in the front.
Turns out that I was right and it was just a douchebag who decided to take a handicap spot so he could run in and get some beer without having to walk an extra ten feet. He got two tickets because he was blocking two spots, and he had to pay someone to plow him out so he could get out of the spot. I had a real good laugh with the cops when I stopped back in to grab a cup of coffee at the gas station at the other end of the parking lot, asked him if he needed someone to plow out the guy and they had already called a company to do it and found out the responding officer got so pissed with the guy for giving him an attitude and because its such bad weather and slick out that he doubled down on the tickets.
I feel so smug right now its great, merry xmas Mr. BMW douchebag!
As a paraplegic and therefore someone who needs those spots on a daily basis I wish to say you're my new hero!
I'm briefly woken by a really loud car so of decide to check out my emails. @isorn sent me the broken sword trilogy! You mad man, I can't sleep anymore! you are awesome, my friend, thank you sincerely.
Before I can even get home from work @massena ninja'd me republic commando, guess that chunk of change is heading towards someone else in game form. Thank you!
Also I got given an £80 game voucher from work as a leaving present, so went to game in Norwich to buy a steam voucher or two with it after seeing them in the London shop. The guy on there didn't know what steam was and said they definitely didn't have any steam vouchers. I hate Christmas temps not being trained.

So the daily deals seem to be the same as yesterday. Do daily deals now last 2 days?
Honestly the Steam sale is getting owned by Amazon. Almost bought Syndicate for 5 bucks but realized it required origin so I suppose you have to be careful when shopping.
My sister-in-law doesn't have a wishlist. I...I don't know what to do!
Bad Rats is cool now, right?
Again I recommend Amnesia. But if you like your sister-in-law more than I like mine maybe I'd go Sims 3/expansions instead because absolutely no one can resist the Sims. Critter Crunch is also great.
F.E.A.R. franchise is an awesome deal. The Reborn DLC for F.E.A.R. 2 is actually quite good too, and unlike the DLC for F.E.A.R. 1, Reborn was done by the Monolith devs.
Steam needs to find a way to digitally distribute Nyquil. My husband is at work playing Santa for an hours and I must wait for my 'quil relief.
Ah, NyQuil. I took two last night and could have slept through the Apocalypse had it come. Trouble is, now I'm having "stomach problems" and it's been a wee bit difficult to concentrate on work...
By the way, thanks to you, @Elin, for Nexus - The Jupiter Incident! I'll add it to my Ever Growing Backlog (tm).

Thanks @APODionysus!
This was brought up pages back (pretty sure by me), and this deal owns.

In which I do that thing where I quote myself on every page for the next 24h.

Whats his Steam name?
I shall gift him the game of my people...

In for at least HAWX. Probably the newest Ghost Recon game and on the fence for Dishonored as well.
