    Anyone have any idea if the Pinball FX2 tables will go lower? Do the normal rules apply to those (Flash/Daily)? Or should I just gobble them all up right now (most are half off, others have no discount, very odd) like the pinball junkie that I have become?

    Last time around they never went on flash sale but all the packs/tables were 50% off. Looks like the only exception this time are Ms. Splosion Man (weird) and the newest Star Wars Pack (not surprising).

    Most of the tables are on the humble weekly bundle now, $1 for 5 tables, $6 for the lot for the lot

    for names with spaces you need to put the name in quotation marks
    so for your example @ "Edgler Vess" without the space between @ and "

    A huge thanks to @Shogun for sneaking up on me with Castle of Illusion when I wasn't looking.

    It does, you just have to put quotes around the name like this @ "Edgler Vess". Except without the space so you get this; @Edgler Vess.

    Huh, this is interesting. Was going to pick up Fallout 3 on Steam during this sale to replace my disc copy that got lost somewhere along the way. They've actually put a notice on the store page to say "Fallout 3 is not optimised for Windows 7". I knew the game was buggy, but I didn't realise it was bad enough to warrant that.

    I've seen some unofficial fixes running around the Internet for Windows 7. So you may want to investigate before brushing it off.

    Kinda sad I cant really participate in the sale. Had some complications this week that basically killed my funds. Well, I'll still be watching the thread Just beaming with pride in humanity when I see all the gifting. I love sales, because even if I cant participate, they make me feel better when I'm down just through happiness osmosis. Keep it up, steam thread.

    I have Win 7 and I play FO3 on my PC. I can't remember the fix, but it's on the google-webs, and it works.

    Feed the wall.

    Edit - I had to download the D3D9.dll and it worked just fine. Well, as fine as a Bethesda game can.

    Double Edit - You can also make a change to an .ini file to increase the amount of RAM it uses. Or cores. I forget which.

    Thread, sell me on Gone Home.
    Is it anything more than a shot to the feels? I ask because I don't have any feels to be affected, so it would be kind of a waste of money for me if it didn't have another string to it's bow.

    It's certainly worth £5, however you're right that it's base price is mental all things considered.

    Gone Home is fantastic.

    Now, bear in mind, it is a pure story game, like Dear Esther or To the Moon. It's all about telling a story and reveling in the 90's atmosphere. It's about 2 hours long and those are some amazing 2 hours. I was almost in tears by the end.

    Were it not for the fact that we're closing on our house next weekend, I would be handing out copies.

    But don't let that stop you! It's only $5! Go, buy and experience one of the best games of the year.

    Has anyone here played "King Arthur's Gold"? It looks like a cross between "Worms" and "Minecraft" and it's on sale for $7.50. Just curious cause it seem like it's right up my alley.

    You guys gotta make sure to check out Amazon, Gamefly, and Humble Bundle. Some of these deals are way better than Steam.

    I mean, I won't pay 20 bucks for XCOM Declassified but someone else might

    Yeah, that Humble pack is what started me down the road of pinball insanity, I want the rest of the tables because I need super score and wizard score and more points and.....

    To say a lot more expletives when I drain because I was picking my nose, or looked at the tv, or got spoken to, or paused the game, or...

    And a change of subject, I just looked at Gone Home and thought "meh" but if you guys say its good, ill bite. Everyone said "To the Moon" was great and I was really "meh" about that until I played it, now, ill never forget it.

    I'm kinda miffed, but it was totally worth the $10. Hopefully there isn't some $5 game I miss out on because of it.

    I haven't even played it yet. And yes, I could have used the five bucks for something else.

    I'm considering buying Kentucky Route Zero from the Humble Store, but it seems like the episodes are gonna take a while to finish

    Yeah it requires adding a new fallout.ini and some other stuff that's not terribly hard for anyone here, but it's more tracking down which fix works and hoping it's not some virus. So yes, doable but a pain.

    EDIT: Should note vanilla install crashes to desktop.
