So after all that stuff about HoM&M a few days ago, the entire series (except VI) is now on sale at GOG. Providence, perhaps? I think I shall take advantage of this offer...

You won't be disappointed.

I'd consider it just to get a digital copy of 3... but trololol no discount unless I buy the whole thing including stuff I don't want and already have.  ::)
You missed the big sale they had just a couple days ago where nearly everything was 50% off, the one that's going on is just the bundles that weren't picked during it.

I picked up Independence War 2 during that sale. Stupid Steam not having the best space piracy simulator in existence available, grumble grumble.

In other news, anybody know/suspect if Enemy Within is going to be returning for a bigger discount? I kinda bought EU and the two mini-DLC at 75% off, but EW is only at 50%... yes I am an incredibly cheap person. :P

Not this time.  It's barely two months old... that it's half off already is probably charity.

I don't think you're understanding the prerequisites to getting a level 500 snowglobe badge. He's not a no-lifer. He's...

Yep, the servers are down entirely. Not sure but it could be related to the earlier attack today against sony.

Serious Sam BFE is on flash sale for -90% off. If you don't currently have it you should really consider picking it up.

As for the guy with a level 500 badge I think there's two ways he could have went about it. The less likely one is that he downed a bunch of money while the more likely one is that he has a horde of alt accounts (likely for TF2 farming) and merely uses those to gather a bunch of snow globes.

The servers came up pretty soon after going down for me. It would appear that we lost the community choice, though.

How is Arma 2 if I were to play singleplayer only? I can derive fun from just about anything, but if the AI is as bad as people of various other forums suggest, I might have some issue with that.

I know Arma 3 is out now, but I've got a backlog of games. I can justify dropping $8 on something I may not play for months, but $45 is a bit much.

Anyone know if Valdis Story - Abyssal City is any good? It went on sale, and the gameplay looks pretty slick, but I'm not sure if it's worth getting since there aren't any reviews for it yet.
Actually grabbed it after checking the screenies and seeing the reviews. With two hours sunk into it so far, I have to say: What I've seen so far is pretty darn good. Controls are smooth enough, combat is challenging enough and fairly visceral, everything is quite pretty (though pallet swaps come hard and fast, ha. Being fair, behavior and attacks and whatnot change with them, so not as bad as it could be), overall everything so far as been quite satisfying. If you like beat 'em ups and metroidvanias, I'd probably recommend, at least at this point. Especially at <4 bucks USD.

Extra +1, it's also running very smoothly on my laptop, so far, despite being quite graphically active and such. Definite kudos to whoever programmed this thing, insofar as optimization goes.
