    All this talk of £0 Skyrim reminded me. I wonder if we will get something similar to the 90% ( I think ) discount on everything Sleeping Dogs that we got during the winter sale that lasted for like 30 minutes last year.

    Sleeping Dogs used to cost way more, though. It was just 6 bucks the other day. We also had those Tomb Raider games for 80 cents each.

    True. Also we had the accidental 33% off Brave New World.

    The Tomb Raider thing was weird. That was, what, eight hours where seven games had an apparently incorrect discount?

    I like to think people were just like "Alright, that sounds about right". It wasn't immediately obvious it was a mistake, like the Sleeping Dogs incident.

    Blood Dragon at 55% was also a mistake they corrected.

    Killing Floor looks neat and I think chat last night convinced me to give it a try. But what is all the dlc? Is it just optional costumes?

    Woke up to find @John Zoidberg was so upset I had never played a Deus Ex game he sent me the whole collection!

    And @Wooden Spoon felt much the same, he sent me Human Revolution!

    Thanks so much guys!

    Mostly it's cosmetics, but there are two packs with new weapons (the "community" packs).

    They cost nearly as much (or more) than the base game at the moment, though, so I can't say that they're worth it.

    Almost; there are some guns in there, but they're not any better than the ones in the base game, so they're entirely unnecessary.

    Also, Killing Floor is awesome and all of you should own it.

    Ghost Master looks like the old Genesis game The Haunting Featuring Polterguy. I plan to do a little indie shopping post pay check... I'll have to add that in.

    I feel like I may have played that a million years ago on Sega Channel.

    human revolution isn't bad. I would venture to say it's good!

    it's really atmospheric, the story is decently interesting, and you basically get to be cybernetic batman. It's relatively easy to see through the fourth wall if you go out of your way to look, but a lot of games are like that.

    it's not as good as the original but then, neither is anything else.

    also:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A6eeeq_2TE

    I'd say HR compares quite well with the original. It is a more relevant piece of science fiction, and the gameplay is good.

    That said, ultimately, any comparison is unfair solely on the basis that the original Deus Ex has substantial historical value. Doing what it did when it did it was incredible.

    Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? "No" says the man in Washington "It belongs to the poor". "No" says the man in the Vatican "It belongs to God". "No" says the man in Moscow "It belongs to everyone". @Prisca rejected those answers. Instead, choosing to gift me Bioshock which I somehow managed to not have on Steam.

    You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
    Who cheer when soldier lads march by
    Sneak home and pray you'll never know
    The hell where youth and laughter go

    Time to get some gifting done today.

    Also up for card trading as well, especially summer sale ones. Still missing 4 and I have extras of Tomb Raider and Chivalry. Otherwise I have a ton of extras from other sets I'll list up later.

    That's about what I have left in my wallet. I'm saving most of it in hopes of Pinball but I think today I'll probably be weak and grab Killing Floor at least on my lunch break. This weekend after payday I plan to grab the odd indie games on my wishlist that are 75%ish for the entire sale - I figured no rush on those.

    There are exceptions of course, if Skyrim or Secret World hit really nice discounts there would be a call to the wife to release more funding...and if Tomb Raider wins the vote I'm not sure I can remain strong. Skyrim ain't happening but who knows on the other two.

    Tomb Raider's music is really well done and helps build the epic feeling the game has.

    Just felt the need to help you along.

    Though Killing Floor is really great I will say it's definitely a very specific type of game, it does horde mode very well but that's literally all it does. Personally I prefer Payday.

    Yeah - Tomb Raider was super tempting the first time I didn't buy it, and I know that Killing Floor goes on sale a lot. It's alright, I can't move on anything till lunch break so at least I have time to stew about it. If Tomb Raider even wins the vote...

    Well I voted Tomb Raider.

    mainly because it's the only one of those games I found fun.

    Sleeping Dogs used to cost way more, though. It was just 6 bucks the other day. We also had those Tomb Raider games for 80 cents each.

    Sleeping Dogs was $6? Damn it! How did I miss that one?

    @Khez - I believe you need to be cut off.

    When I said "I think I'll buy Killing Floor during lunch" did you put it into some English to Steam Google Translator and have it return "Please have me killing floors by lunch"? Because I am now the owner of floors upon floors of killing.

    Thanks for the generosity but good lord it's embarrassing in a sale where the budget (and wife) doesn't allow a lot of return fire!
