    Can't really think of any game id want.

    Maybe Anno 2070, but i doubt that will be much cheaper.

    I've got like 20 games on steam, all bought during sales....I only really use a Macbook....with an integrated graphics card that can run f*** all.
    (Audiosurf is probably as far as it goes...)

    It's just too hard to resist :(

    I upgrade my bandwidth a few weeks ago and it felt like taking a giant boulder from around my neck. 300GB a month should be enough for awhile :P

    If your interested and can get them, Vodafone is who I'm with.

    Still playing L4D and Sins of a Solar Empire from the Autumn sale - that and the fact the credit card has disappeared behind a couch, whimpering.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,057 ✭✭✭Krusader

    There does be some good little indie games that you'll pick up for €2.50 or so

    Dead Island - 8.49
    Both Portals - 8.49 (I think)
    Both Max Paynes - 3.74
    Rift - 4.99

    Steam has gotten very very slow.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,353 ✭✭✭Sasquatch76


    Think I'll finally pick up Borderlands and all the DLC this sale.

    Yeah Dead island went down to under a €10 for 5 mins, great price

    Was considering buying Dead Island there, kind of glad I didn't. Don't think I would have played it tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,879 ✭✭✭Coriolanus


    I'm struggling to think of a game that I actually want that wasn't released very recently. Sure, I wasnt Saints and Skyrim, Arkham City maybe Anno, but they're not going to come down.

    Got Dead Island during the Autumn sale. It's a bit of craic, would have preferred something a little more atmospheric.

    Edit. I just looked at my Steam account. I feel slightly ashamed at how many games are on it. :|

    I just won HALF LIFE 2 :D Thanks valve :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,226 ✭✭✭RobertFoster


    Portal 2 is €14.99 in the Steam client, but €7.49 through the website... Also, Metro 2033 was €2.50 for about five minutes, now it's back at €9.99. Perhaps the website getting hammered is causing problems.

    Just took a look at the prizes for the holiday giveaway and... holy ****, the grand prize winner gets EVERY game on Steam? Maybe all that coal isn't such a bad thing after all... :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,924 ✭✭✭✭RolandIRL

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,463 ✭✭✭Trevor451


    Along with Half life 2, I also got a 50% off voucher for audiosurf. Maybe check your games inventory ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,112 ✭✭✭Dacelonid


    I don't get any "gift" either, unless the only gift is HL2, and I already have that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,226 ✭✭✭RobertFoster


    Weird, I've 3 things in my cart currently:

    Dead Island €33.49
    Metro 2033 €2.49
    Portal 2 €7.49

    Hit refresh and it changes to:

    Dead Island €8.49
    Metro 2033 €9.99
    Portal 2 €14.99

    Refresh again and it's back to the first prices :confused:

    Well - at least there are some old Amiga heads at the server backend - based on the error message.

    I think you get the lumps of coal from completing achievements.

    Steam inventory is a bit messed up. I had 6 extra copies of games and then only the coupon appeared there, now nothing is :confused:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,505 ✭✭✭Nollog

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,353 ✭✭✭Sasquatch76
