Morning Discussion

I'm told today is Cyber Monday, which apparently does not make the Internet even more hilarious and terrifying than usual but instead brings yet more price reductions to consumer goods. But which would leave you feeling most hollow and empty? Ahhh, do you see? Yes ladies and gentlemen, the awful, awful satire is back on tap.

Today is also National Meth Awareness Day. Good grief, be aware.

      i hope next deal will be wolfenstein for $20

    • reply
      November 30, 2009 6:54 AM

      Orange box for 10
      section 8 for 25
      Wolfenstein for 20
      supcom for 10
      Mount blade for 5
      Burnout paradise for 15
      Fallout 3 for 20

      Those are my predictions, orange box will be on there and wolf will also be on there. Burnout will probably be on there because of the racing game.

      Most of the steam deals have went
      RPG
      FPS
      RTS
      Racing Game
      Indie game

      Yes I have two FPS games on there

        The first one finally went on sale like a week before the second one came out. But i wouldn't expect the 2nd one going on sale anytime soon. Shit the mother fucking first one is still 40 goddamn dollars.

          i don't understand how this is an issue with a downloaded game. I mean all you have to do is input the separate reg code that d2d gives you right? I had problems with securom when I was using a physical media, please someone explain I really want to know.

          November 30, 2009 12:28 PM

          The only problem I've had with securom on the D2D games is that I have to close Process Explorer before I can play.

          It doesn't install any rootkits or mess with my hardware does it?

            I was under the impression that Europe all used euros now? do people say pound but mean euros, or are pounds still used? This is information I could find out very quickly on Wikipedia but it's more fun asking you guys.

              There are several countries, even ones in the EU, that do not use Euros as the main currency. The UK, Ireland and Sweden are just a few.

                Wait, my mistake, Ireland switched over to the Euro. The UK and Sweden are definitely on their own currencies.

        Secret of Monkey Island, Mirror's Edge, I would recommend Evil Genius (but I don't know how it does on 64-bit - it's an older game), Bound in Blood sounded interesting. I heard Section 8 was bad.

        It's a neat game, but it could have been a lot better if they had included more tools to effectively manage your trading empire.
        Setting up trade routes with the proper amount of ships and cargo settings is difficult with the tools provided. The other option is to micromanage trade which isn't that great as your attention is better spent growing your towns.
