Borderlands 33% off down to 53.59 US$.... which would look like a good deal if I didn't know it orginally listed at ~45 US$
Guess I'll get my fix of post apocalyptic shootyness in Fallen Earth.

I'm really tempted to get Trine, but with everyone else I've purchased over the past few days, it'll have to wait until another sale much later down the line.

I imagine I'm the only person here willing to get the PC version of RE5, heh.
So tempted...so broke. Had to shell out for a new dryer today. But I did break down and buy a 15yr Laphroaig to drown my sorrow. |

I'm not gonna say it's a perfect port - the inventory is a tiny bit finicky, but I got used to it pretty quick. I will however say that if every game were as well-ported as RE5, I'd stop buying multiplatform games for consoles.
So, yea, it's a good port. 8 Hours left on the sale.

I've been waiting for a 5 dollar Mirror's Edge sale, nows the time!
I don't know if i'll bother playing it much, but I was going to go out for a latte this evening, I'll just skip that and probably SAVE money.

Even if you "owned" the collection the license terms probably wouldn't let you re-sell individual parts.
Maybe it's not related since it was a Valve package, but I know when I bought the Orange Box I was able to gift my extra copy of HL2 to someone else. |

Ended up picking up Trine yesterday. Fun little game, really, and pretty much blows away Braid in the actual "are you actually having fun doing this" department as far as new wave platformers go.

Would it be better for me to get Trine for the PS3 or PC?
Also, purchased Mirror's Edge, Evil Genius, and Monkey Island Special Edition. Damn you steam!

Same, my list of games that I own but never got around to playing keeps getting longer and longer with these Steam sales. |

Damn you Steam, and your Cyber Monday sales. Making me waste pocket change.
Buying Mirror's Edge and Monkey Island SE, because...well, what the fucking hell, it'll be like 8 bucks for a few extra games to screw with.
EDIT: Also, Commander Keen? WTF, really?

Maybe it's not related since it was a Valve package, but I know when I bought the Orange Box I was able to gift my extra copy of HL2 to someone else. The Orange Box is the only time AFAIK Valve had made an exception, and even then you still technically didn't "own" the game. If you look at Valve's other bundles, there's no option for gifting in any of those. |

These are the conditions where you'd get extra copies ( source): - Own "Left 4 Dead" and then go on to purchase "Left 4 Dead + Left 4 Dead 2 Bundle"
- Purchase the available four pack for one of the following games: “Left 4 Dead”, "Left 4 Dead 2", or "Borderlands"
- Own “Half-Life 2” and/or “Half-Life 2: Episode One” and then go on to purchase “The Orange Box” or the "Valve Complete Pack"
- Own “Half-Life 2: Episode One” and then go on to purchase the "Half-Life 2: Episode Pack”

Huh interesting. Valve is incredibly inconsistent about putting the notice in the package that you can gift certain games in that package. I looked at a few of them including the complete package and none of them had the notice except for the Orange Box. Of course most of the other packages I didn't look at did have the notice  |

The Orange Box was the start of a trend; I think they're doing it for all Valve game bundles now. They might not be allowed to do it for bundles from other publishers.

I was a little sad when I went to steampowered to see what little gaming nugget I was going to get today and they're done with the sale. I need more old games to not play for cheap!

Cheap Monkey Island SI was all I ended up picking up. I spent a grand total of three fitty ($1 iphone game included) this black Friday.
Too many games, not enough time. I blame my MMO-like Dragon Age addiction.

I got Evil Genius. It's kind of cool but it's a real time eater and not because anything especially great is happening but because stuff just seems to take a while (never too long really) plus lots of random crap is going on. That combined with a lack of real missions (rather constant tasks that need to be done) means that instead of just dipping in and out when you like there's always some other little thing you want to hang on for while you've got stuff distracting you. It's a recipe for, "Woah is it an hour later?" combined with, "What the fuck have I even done in this game?" I've never really felt like I've been completely wasting time playing a game before.

And it begins again... all sorts of specials. Another temptation to add more games to the "when I have time" list.

I'd wait on buying ANYTHING. The Woot timer at the bottom will go for every day, buy your stuff if it shows up there and on January 2nd make the big purchases.

I certainly deserved it, considering that it was obvious that excellent holiday sales would emerge as Xmas got closer. But that particular deal just kicks me in the nuts.

Fuck, I ordered Avatar for 30e two weeks ago and it still hasn't arrived (whoever recommended that particular web retailer to me should be shot), and now Steam has it for 25e.
