    I tried to stay away during this particular Steam sale. In a way, I was pretty successful! I only bought two games for myself. Despite my lack of visibility in the PA Steam thread due to my resubscription to World of Warcraft back in October, some of you still managed to hunt me down and send me a gift. You people make it really hard to stay away!

    Anyway, here's the damage done:

    Bought for myself (they were really cheap):
    Ghostbusters: The Video Game
    Halo: Spartan Assault

    Gifted to me:
    Rise of Nations from @lowlylowlycook‌
    Prison Architect from @Corpekata‌

    Sadly, I did not send any gifts out. I'm still between jobs. Hopefully that will change this year and I can retaliate on other unsuspecting targets in the near future.

    Thanks, everyone!

    I just beat Wolf Among Us, which possibly puts me at as many games completed in 2015 as 2014

    Why the hell is that gender bender game 'similar to games I play'? What the actual fuck am I playing?

    So the steam PixelVision skin will not be updated in the future. Bummer. It is by far the best custom steam skin IMO.

    I'd have gotten (I think) my first of 2015 last night if my wife and I hadn't run into a Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris bug that kept us from opening up the last tomb. Hopefully the FAQ I found worked and we can finish it up tonight.

    It's been a little bit since the end of the charity drive. We decided that we are going to be doing this stream in the afternoon on Saturday the 10th. I'll post again about it the day before with the final details.

    Popular user-defined tags for this product:
    Indie
    Visual Novel
    Anime
    Nudity
    Simulation
    Dating Sim
    Female Protagonist
    Casual

    That's going to make it "similar" to a lot of good games.

    Just two days into 2015 and already classassinated. Thank you very much @TeeMan for Nuclear Throne! <3

    I am sorry I did not notice your gift sooner. My PC decided to begin this new year showing continuous BSODs and I have spent these first two days performing memory/driver tests and checking the Microsoft support forums. Fortunately it seems that the blue screens were not hardware related but they were caused by a known issue of the Panda AV URL monitoring service. Turning this feature off should solve the problem but it's unlikely that you will see me recommending this antivirus again in the thread.

    Actually doesnt seem to be the headset, seems to be something else. Also scans found some problems on my pc, so this is a reminder to everyone to run Malware scanning stuff asap to get yourself checked out. Trying to resolve this, maybe I can fix it before FNG/Streaming Duck Dynasty

    Man, I don't even wanna know how many games I've finished vs. bought/gifted. Apart from just having so many of the damn things, it seems like every other title last year was Xbox hueg.

    Anyhoo, here's my own recap from the sale:
    Bought:
    Shadowgate
    RPGMaker DLC
    Thief
    Consortium

    Received:
    Damned - non-PA pal Xero
    eXperience 112 - @Krummith
    Cave Story+ - @Jeix
    Deep Dungeons of Doom - @Berylline
    Nether - @Firebird
    Battle Worlds: Kronos - non-PA pal oOeyes
    FFXIII - non-PA pal SlayerGhaleon
    Endless Legend - @Corehealer

    Gifted:
    Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
    Valkyria Chronicles
    Metro 2033 Redux
    The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
    Dragon Age: Origins UE
    Dishonored
    COD:AW
    Carpe Fulgur Bundle

    The sale itself wasn't the most exciting stuff, but still quite a few good deals - Consortium for seven bucks looks like a goddamn steal. Thanks everybody for the class and generosity! Hope y'all enjoyed the sale and have your own piles of goodies to play with :)

    Well, there might have been less 10+ posts per sale update that the deals are terrible/not the actual ones. Plus less flash sales in general to cause the former.

    We're just a leaner, meaner Steam thread.

    I don't really mind a slower paced steam thread. Easier to follow. Though I somehow feel we used to talk more about games/specific deals and ask for recommendations more in past sales. But who wants to ask people for advice in here. You guys are monsters.

    Even chat was kinda relaxed this sale. I remember some sales where it got kinda crazy.

    It might also just be that we have so many games already that we don't really need new ones.

    So what you're saying is we need new blood to aim at while they ask more "is this a good game" type questions?

    To be honest. I don't really like that you can't ask such questions without risking possible gifting.

    I'm looking for someone to complete a handful of Borderlands (1) multiplayer achievements with. I need "And They'll Tell Two Friends", the viral achievement, and also win a duel, win a duel without damage, win an arena match, and revive a groupmate from death. Should only take a few minutes, and I'd really appreciate it! PM me or msg me on Steam if you can help. Thanks!

    At this point I just ask. If someone feels the gifting itch, then fine, otherwise I usually get a good answer from the thread.
