Pick up Garry's Mod if you haven't.
Just picked up Trackmania United myself.

You only save $1 on Garry's Mod (it was already pretty cheap). Vampire: Bloodlines went down from $20 to $10 though.

You know, I bought Bioshock like 6 days ago... not sure how on sale it is but weak.
I was thinking of buying Quake2, CS:S, DMC3 & possibly that Dues Ex game everyone mentions from time to time for being good, or was that the 2nd one that was good? Silly SP games...

First one. Deus Ex, from the Latin "deus ex machina" (god from the machine). It's more than seven years old, so if you do want it, make sure you want it for the plot. It's not just mentioned from time to time for being good, it's one of the most awarded games in history. |

Meh. Try this. I bought the Popcap Games collection (for my Mum's computer) on fucking Christmas Eve. It's only ten bucks difference, but fuck. Also, unless/until Garry's Mod has some direct point to it beyond fucking around with source, it's pointless to me. |

Not that it wasn't a bargain before, but this sale brought Orange Box down to $37 USD, so I (finally) bought it. Time to play Portal...

God I almost want to buy two orange boxes to gift to somebody later in life at that pricepoint...

How long is this going on? I won't be near my Steam account again until Jan. 8th and I wanted to pick up CoD4.
I picked up Deus Ex a few weeks ago myself, after getting sick of hearing people talk about it. I have to be honest, I found it too hard to play to get into the storyline (which admittedly seems awesome). I couldn't get a comfortable handle on the inventory system, among other things.

Not sure how long the sale will run for, but CoD4 is only 5 bucks off, so $45 USD anyhow. But, Psychonauts is only $10, Bioshock $37, and Civ4 $30. |

Dec 24 - Jan 1, but the difference is only $5 so I wouldn't go scrambling to an internet cafe to get on your Steam account. |

New sale on Steam: Rockstar's games on sale for a week. Notables are GTA 1-3 + VC + SA for $27 and Max Payne 1 & 2 for $13.45. Those two bundles are pretty damn tempting, the whole collection (at $54), not so much. |

Gish is also 50% off right now, coming in at a big 5 bucks. Highly recommended if you like 2D side scrollers. It is still one of my favorites.

Did you not play Manhunt? Or did you play it and like it so much that you want to play it again? Either way,  |

Also, Gish is fucked up, comes to $9.95 in the basket.
Fixes itself after you put in your card.

That's pretty much the reason to play Manhunt. I'm just surprised that you hadn't done it already. It's actually not a terrible game. Not a "good" game, really, but a lot better than, say, WolfQuest. |

Really gotta love those steam offers. Discounts bundled with the fact that I get to pay the actual Dollar rate instead of that bullshit 1:1 ratio like in the stores makes for a very happy Tebonas right now.

Ya, I'm about ready to buy Civ4 + Beyond the Sword for $50 since it's only like 15 more than what I saw in the store for Beyond the Sword by itself, plus, then I don't have to bother with cds.
Gods I hate CDs.

You may be able to activate your original Civ4 on Steam and just buy BtS on Steam. I don't remember if the CD keys for Civ4 are on the "plays nice with Steam" list though, but it's worth a shot.

Wierd. I go to the rockstar link (both from this page and the news article on steampowered.com) and nothing comes up. I wonder if they are blocking AU from them |

Just wanted to mention that if you like digital distribution, and have a taste for strategy games or quasi-obscure East European games, you should check out Gamersgate at least once. This week they added Thief Gold for $15 and World in Conflict for $50. |

Wow, they have a good selection of games.
Do they have DRM attached to them?

Any US or anywhere else residents want to check and see what you get? I'm hoping it's a Steam error, not a regional blockout. |

Yep, looks like Australia is locked out of Rockstar. Completely.
Even the games that were released here.

You can still get them. All. Just not via Steam.

Can we hang out though? That's the real question. I especially like you cause you know who the trailer park boys are.
