    Mildly tempted to dump $4 for the Avernum trilogy, too. Even as annoying as Avadon was I'm both a Steam and RPG packrat so that's two of my weaknesses in one. Comes out roughly 60% off from Steam price which isn't bad.

    And SWEET CUPPIN' CAKES that Dark Eye adventure game is pretty. I'll definitely wait for inevitable Steam sale, but holy hell. Know nothing about the game but the pictures give me an erection.

    Well, after second playthrough it is fairly obvious they just mixed the voices from the other scenes. This blowjob though... :lol:

    Picked up civ5 expansion (Worked out a hair more expensive than what I spent per DLC civ at 75% off, but since it adds more stuff than just the new civs I went with it) and probably will do Avernum.
    Think I'll skip Quantum Conundrum, watched the Giantbomb quick look and it didn't look nearly as good as Portal for first person puzzling. More platforming than I would've liked (Portal series has a bit, but QC's looked like it had more room to get annoying), and the writing didn't look up to Portal snuff either. Probably won't get cheaper than $7 including the DLC for quite a while, but the credit I've got at GMG can be used on other shit in the future so I think I'll wait. If nothing else it'll let me pick up Sword of Islam for CK2 for $2 if it isn't included in the Amazon sale.

    Damn this videogaming monkey on my back. Guess there are worse guilty pleasures. That's how I'll justify it to myself at least.

    Via CAG via Neo Gaf via t3h internets the Cubeman dev let slip that the Summer Sale won't start until July 12th (you can check out the Steam Cubeman forum for the conversation). I would die a little on the inside if true.

    I would be butt devastated if that was true. I wont be home for a few days since the 11th. Missing the first day of the summer sales spells bad luck until the Christmas sales.

    Apparently this Zombie Playground 4 player co-op kickstarter project (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/massiveblack/zombie-playground-zpg-3d-action-online-battle-rpg) has been 'pre-approved' for Steam release. Three days left on it -- $15 gets you a copy (plus an in-game hat omg). $25 gets you two copies and some other excl00000000000000sive weapons. Various other tiers with a shameless amount of exclusive items. I can see why GabeN green lit this because it's going to be stocked with items/microtransactions.

    Why do so many of you keep buying tons of Steam games when you already have an enormous backlog? I understand making a huge catalog of games to play on rainy days at very low cost, but if so, why buy them when they're still above 10$, or even 5$ a piece?

    Don't you think it just becomes a hindrance of having so many games to play eventually, and it is not worth spending that much money?

    Why do women buy things om sale when they never are going to find any need of them?

    Answer? Human behavior is complex man. And not rational. At all. Thank god for that.

    Unless it's indie bundle crap I tend not to buy stuff I don't think I'll play. Even if something is dirt cheap I still scrutinize it. I did an in-depth analysis a few pages back.

    That's exactly what I do. $5 if it's the release game, $10 if it's a GOTY/Complete version. That's more or less my guideline.

    Absolutely nothing wrong with games that places you in an uncelebrated role, as long as it's a good game.

    Management titles and the like are practically the only anti-console games there are.

    More evidence the Summer Sale won't start until July 12th: Vessel, that was a daily deal the other day, is on a 'special promo' of 33% off through June 30th. If the sale were starting the 28th as many are predicting then that Vessel sale makes no sense.

    I don't really understand how people can buy so many Steam games that they'll probably never even play.

    In other news I just bought Hotel Giant 2.
