So I see Total War: Rome 2 and Company of Heroes 2 are having 50% off sales, and Witcher 2 is LUDICROUSLY cheap.
For the former, don't be put off by the old tales of it being a buggy mess. At release, it was (it's a Total War game, of course it was) but the game has been vastly improved since then. It is certainly worth that sale price at least.
For the Witcher 2, there is no excuse not to get it at that price.
As for Company of Heroes 2, has anyone had any experience with the game? I like the look of it, but I have bought SO many WW2 themed games like it that I have regretted afterwards.
If you haven't played Company of Heroes then either buy the original if you want to try it for cheap or just buy the game during the sale. Whether you like it will come down to how much you like micro in RTS's because it's basically 90% micro in how you play it.
lol! I try to keep it at a nice round 20! So when I add some new thing, something else has to come off. So it's often a rotating circus of "ooh want this thing today!"

Awh...pixie i came here to shoot an arrow at you to find your name changed. also, that i cant for some reason. I presume you have already been riddled with arrows.
I don't know if you have any interest in Warframe but I thought this might be of interest. They're giving away Valentines colour palettes for free today to anyone who logs in. You can get some pretty fabulous results with it:

New Groupees Bundle! http://groupees.com/steampunk2
For a minimum of 1$ you get (more extras to be unlocked): - Bionic Du(d)es (Steam)
-Syberia I (Steam)
-Syberia II (Steam)
-Airship Dragoon (Greenlight)
-Steel & Steam (Greenlight)
I'm looking at these bundles @Hit_Bit keeps posting. Probably gonna do the Humble one just for Dream Machine, but I need to find someone to give this And Yet It Moves code away to. Everyone has it already. And I'm still not sure what Bionic Du(d)es is. Trying to watch videos of it online, but the snow storm has done something weird with my internet and it's super slow.
edit: Okay, if Bionic Dues the game doesn't have this rock ballad in the actual game, it's flagrant false advertising.
Bionic Dues is a rogue like where you control the last squad of mechs in a city overtaken by robots.
You have fifty days to suit the fuck up, murder their bosses and otherwise make a mess of the place before the final assault on your base where you face whatever robot generals you haven't de-comissioned and their hordes. Oh and if you fuck up the governments going to nuke the city to control the issue at the cost of 11 million innocent lives.
That's pretty much it really, it's an old school 'when you move everyone else does' rogue like but with mechs instead of wizards. Also the main theme song is awesome:
So next weeks' gladiatorial fights might be a bit more erratic timing wise. Still going to shoot for completing four of them during the week. But don't be too surprised if they end up showing up at different times or have some long pauses. Going to be a bit busy so I'll drop em in whenever I can.
In other news, I'm gonna give Redshirts a thumbs down. I mean for super cheap, sure. It's not terrible, there just isn't alot to it. It doesn't have the story elements of a Long Live the Queen. All the characters are just a loose bundle of random interests/attributes. It's overcomplicated for as little substance as there is to it. Monster Loves You does this much better. MLY is very simplistic but keeps it interesting with charm and character and doesn't overstay its welcome. Redshirts goes on and on and on. I kept plugging away last night waiting to see if anything more developed and by the time I gave up there were still 70 more days to go.
Bionic Dues is an awesome turn-based mech game with loot and mission selection and gear upgrades. It plays like a turn-based ARPG and is incredibly addictive. The robot overlords start with overwhelming force, and if you don't get your act together in 50 days their final assault on your base will end humanity's chances. Expect to die a lot as you get your sea legs.
@Smokestacks, the Voice of the Emperor, addressed the crowds in front of the Colosseum for the third time. By now the crowd had realized any interruptions or commotion would only delay the fight announcements. They waited patiently as Smokestacks listed off all of this week's other proclamations. At least until...
"In seven days' time. All citizens' steam libraries must be set to public. This includes all inventory items. Failure to comply will not be tolerated. The Emperor has decreed that for too long the lawless of our Empire have hidden behind anonymity. True citizens of the Empire have nothing to hide. By the mercy of our Emperor there will be a one week grace period for confessions. If you confess your crime to your local magistrate, and pay a nominal fee for any games obtained illegally the matter will be forgiven. But be warned, if you do not make this information public or confess, games clearly known to have been unavailable before the ban will be counted as guilt. The guilty will face imprisonment or death."
Lieutenant @Shade roughly escorted Smokestacks away and into the Colosseum as the other soldiers held back the enraged mob. Smokestacks wasn't even sure if anyone could have heard the entire proclamation over the furor. The gates to the Colosseum were barred but they bulged and groaned. Archers above threatened to fire and then made good on their threats. Twenty lay dead in the square by the time soldiers were able to regain control. A curfew was declared and patrols would settle more skirmishes over the next few days.
It was long after dark before Smokestacks was escorted back to his villa. Smokestacks fought to control his anxiety. He'd been too vocal about his doubts over the new law while the crowd raged outside the Colosseum. He was the Voice, and he must always represent the Emperor's position and not his own. But his own had always been that of the Emperor's! Why did he have to do things this way? Smokestacks could not find his keys to unlock the gate. One of his escorts climbed the wall and fetched a servant to unlock it. It was a mystery that barely registered with everything else going on, and was quickly forgotten.
And for the moment so too was the news meant to complete today's announcements. A stack of fliers left on the stage scattered in the breeze across an empty abandoned square.
Note: None of the above is stuff I actually want you to do. Your steam settings are your business. This is just increasingly mixed metaphor tournament story bs.
How long till the next regular steam sale? Would that be the summer sale? Wanna buy one or two things, thinking there might be a sale right around the corner I might've forogotten.

Big ones are always the Summer & Winter Sales, with holiday sales sometimes thrown in as well (Thanksgiving and Halloween are always a given, but they've done other holiday sales over the years).

Some of the more hideous tags I saw yesterday seem to be going away. I wonder if it's from the weight of which tags people are actually picking or if Valve is working behind the scenes a bit. I'm inclined to think it's the former, because trying to keep up with the internet is a fools game.

If yes, you will enjoy CoH 2

Everyone's getting Planet Horse.
You're amazing!
Blackguards will last you longer, but Banner Saga is the better game in every aspect.

Nope, still not going to buy it. I know I won't play it anytime soon. I've learned my lesson.
