Steam Sale Spotlight

[Darth Marsden]

I said I'd update my post, jeez! No patience, some people.

10 years since Morrowind? Really? Wow. I got it shortly after if came out. I feel old now.

[Rather Dashing]

Something I forgot to mention:

Dustforce is probably on sale today because this is the drop date for the level editor. So if you like making levels or playing through community content, that chunk of value has just been lumped in with the game.

[Harald B]

Ooh, now that you mention steam and level editing: the trailer for the Perpetual Testing Initiative has gone up on steam, and it's full of Cave Johnson and general hilarity.

Today's Midweek Madness is awesome. Buy it or you will never know the horrific secrets of my avatar!!!


...well, it's also great.

[Gman5852]

I have zero clue if I should get Morrowind today or not. I still have Oblivion to get through...

[Darth Marsden]

Chances are it'll probably be on sale again at some point. I'd be amazed if it's not.

Probably. I probably should focus on Oblivion instead of Morrowind for now. Unless Morrowind is some god game that Oblivion fails in comparison to in every possible way.

It, of course, is. But seriously: this game has been cheaper before. Just wait for a better deal.

[Farlander]

I always preferred Gothic games over Daggerfall/Morrowind/Oblivion. Just saying. (Haven't played Skyrim yet, so can't say anything about that)

Skyrim was pretty good.
Got about 90 hours in it.

Bethesda seems to love announcements. They announced and announcement FOR an E3 Skyrim-related announcement!

Announceception

[Darth Marsden]

Today's Daily Deal is A-10C Warthog. £10.19 / $13.59.

[Darth Marsden]

Today's Daily Deal is Transformers: War for Cybertron. A stupidly cheap £3.74 and a not-as-cheap-but-still-good $7.49.

[der_ketzer]

Wow. 4,99€. I always wanted to play WickWikis Mom high on drugs. Let's hope this game is as bad as the movie.

[Darth Marsden]

It's supposed to be half-decent, actually.

[der_ketzer]

Also: The Weekend Deal is Sanctum, a first-person Tower Defense game.
It's free to play this Weekend and also 75% off.
2.49€
Don't forget to get the 2 free DLCs. A Christmas pack and the "Yogscave". If you ever saw any video by these annoying Yogscast guys you might want it.



The second Weekend Deal is Batman: Arkham City. 50% off, for 13.99€

[Darth Marsden]

Wait, those are up already? Oh wait, it's Thursday. Ugh. Still getting used to the change in days off I have.

But yeah, those are the Weekend Deals. Lemme do the UK/US prices for you.

Batman: Arkham Asylum - £3.40 / $6.80
Batman: Arkham City - £9.99 / $14.99
And the DLC's also Half Price!
Challenge Map Pack - 99p / $1.49
Skins Pack - £1.74 / $2.49
Nightwing / Robin Bundles - £2.49 / $3.49 each
...and if you don't have any of the series, the bundle for all the above plus the first game is £19.99 / $29.99.

Sanctum - £1.99 / $2.49, as well as being Free-to-Play all weekend.
DLC for this one, too!
Killing Floor, Penetrator & Violater - 17p / 29c each
Aftermath, Aftershock, Cavern & Slums - 32p / 49c each
There is also two free DLC packs, as ketzer said - A Christmas Pack and Yogscave.
Finally, there's the OST, which is 87p / $1.24. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it's worth it.

If you don't like low quality mp3 stay away from the soundtrack. The storepage says it's only 128 kbps.
Edit: oh and uncompressed WAV. I guess that's okay then.
Also I'm waiting for a GOTY Edition of Arkham City. Or a better deal in the summer sale. Also it's a dick move that you need all DLC to obtain all achievements in Arkham City.

[Gman5852]

Wait, Sanctum just got free... Yogscast DLC?

Well I'm replaying the game now...

[GaryCXJk]

Beh, Yogcast.

Most of the Minecraft community don't like them, mostly due to the "YogBox". Basically a modpack.

Now before you go on about "but Minecraft modding should be for everyone blah blah blah", consider this. When a mod is placed in a modpack, we as modders can't give any support for any errors or faults that occur, mostly because the error might not even be caused by our mod. Aside from that though, most modpacks are assembled without the consent of the modder. It's just common decency to ask for permission, unless the creator specifically says not to bother with asking (either because he just doesn't want it in any form of modpack or he already gave full permission).

That, and there are a shitton of other reasons why they hate Yogcast.
