Hide your wallet! Steam is having another holiday sale!

Recommended Posts

I got Zombie shooter 2 for $2.50 and Far Cry for $5.

So many insane deals, I dread to see tomorrow's sale.

Man, I'm really tempted to get GTA4 since it's $7.49 right now, but is it really worth it? How are the controls on the PC compared to the XBox 360? I didn't really like the driving controls for the 360.

I caved in and got a few things myself. Indigo Prophecy, Braid, Mirror's Edge, Star Wars Jedi Knight Collection, and Red Faction. Not too bad for $25!

Thanks for the heads-up. I just bought STALKER: Shadows of Chernobyl for 1.99 (originally 19.99).

Only thing that sucks is that I can't install it right now because "Steams servers are too busy to handle my request." damnit.

Id Software megapack for less than $25 right now. I just bought it myself. It includes Keen (I think all of them), Wolf 3d, Spear of Destiny, RTCW, Doom 1-3, Final Doom, Master Levels, Resurrection of Evil, Quake 1-3 and their expansions, Heretic, Hexen, Deathkings, and Hexen 2. I had Doom 1+2 and most of the Quake games, but it was worth getting for all the stuff I didn't have.

Aww crap, I'm gonna be broke by the end of this. Already picked up two Star Wars games plus Serious Sam HD, and that's just the beginning.

These sales are so absurd that it's killing their distribution servers. I bought a game and have been getting "Server too busy to handle all this shit" error messages for the last 24 hours.

These deals are amazing. I'd say I've gotten about 10 games, counting the iD Superpack as one game; in the past three days.

I'd buy Torchlight if I didn't already own it. Nothing interesting on today's list. Dragon Age probably won't run on my computer, and there's nothing in the Star Wars pack that interest me which I don't have.

If that ever happens to you just change the servers steam is downloading from.

Go here: http://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/ and click on the "View individual server statistics" button.

Find a server region that is some what close to you thats not busy.

Then:
Start Steam
Go to File > Settings > Downloads tab
Under Download region, select a different but relatively close region.
Try launching or installing the game once more

It should download for you and some times quicker. Just make sure to revert back to your server region after you download your game or update one. Worked like a charm every time I did it.

I bought GTA IV along with Mirror's Edge. Was happy with Mirror's Edge, and not so much with GTA, mainly because of the layers of proprietary matchmaking software and the fucking abomination against humanity that is Windows Live gaming. Apparently I need a Live account to save my game? And when I tried to get one, it was like "HOOK UP YOUR XBOX, LOL." I don't want PC gaming to turn into XBox 360, thank you very much. But it seems inevitable at this point.

I just bought Torchlight for $5 and it should appear in your next billing cycle.

Speaking of which, could you cut down on the donkey porn a bit? I got bills to pay you know.

Yes, those are some excellent deals. I was (and still am) pretty tempted to even get games that I normally wouldn't when they're cheap, but so far I managed to resist quite well. The price parity helped. Only got Mirror's Edge and Beyond Good and Evil so far, but didn't get Zombie Shooter Pack and Zombie Driver despite initial interest because ultimately they seem like games that quickly wear out after the first few levels.

You have to install those additional programs and create an offline profile (at least for one of them, Games for Windows I think), but you don't need to have an online account or login every time. When starting the game, there's a "skip login" option.
