In case it missed you, the Autumn Sale is now over, so I hope you got all your bargains! Shouldn't be long before the Christmas one comes along to clean out your wallet all over again.

Today's Daily Deal is Bully: Scholarship Edition. £2.49 / $3.74. It's not the best conversion, but it's still a good game, so take that as you will.
Also, it's not on offer, but there's another expansion for Magicka out. 'The Stars Are Left' is basically like the previous Vietnam expansion, only it's now to do with the Cthulhu mythos. I don't know why.
Overpriced through Bethesda's site or not at all.
Most of the things you miss out on are not really noteworthy but there is the dagger-quest and some nice "homes" for you to put your stuff in if you purchase all stuff for them. Basically something to spend your in-game money on once you are stinkin' rich.
And of course dat horse armor.
Well, it's only 6 bucks. I wonder if there is a way for me to buy the Deluxe and have it overwrite the Standard version.
I contacted Steam Support about this, and got the following answer.
So I checked my game DLC:
This would indicated that I do have Deluxe (I don't have Oblivion installed atm so I can't check for the .esp files currently.)
In any case, I don't remember what that field said before I opened my support ticket, so I checked my store purchases. It says that I bought the "Quakecon 2011 Elder Scrolls Pack" which, when googled, produces a link to an article stating that it came with Oblivion GOTY Deluxe.
So it would seem that I now have a giftable copy of Oblivion Deluxe (that I bought during said Midweek Madness just in case) that I don't need.
Huh. According to my store purchases, that's what I bought too. I was thinking I'd bought them (or added them to my cart at least) separately, so I thought I had the regular GOTY edition. Good to know it's Deluxe.
That's odd, I have exactly the same DLC, though I don't remember buying the deluxe edition. How bizarre, yet awesome.
...if anyone else needs to know how to access your Steam Purchases, just click the "<yournamehere>'s Account" bit in the top-right of Steam. You'd think I'd have known that.
Okay, so there's a new competition or something. It's called the Daily Wishlist Giveaway. Basically, if you have 10 items or more in your wishlist, simply visit the page for that day's Daily Deal to be entered into the draw for 10 people to win the top 10 items from their wishlist every day.
So, yeah! All you need to do is visit the Daily Deal's page every day! You don't even have to buy a thing. Woo!
Anyway. Today's Daily Deal is Terraria. £1.50 / $2.50 Go visit the page, dammit! (It's at the top of the front page now, if you're having trouble finding it)
Today's Daily Deal is Dungeon Siege III... again. Couple of deals here, so bear with me.
Dungeon Siege III - £12 / $20
Dungeon Siege III DLC: Treasures of the Sun - £3.20 / $4 Dungeon Siege Complete (all three games in the series, plus the DLC) - £15.20 / $24
Dungeon Siege III Strategy Guide - £5.20 / $8
Dungeon Siege III + the Strategy Guide - £15.19 / $23.59
Don't forget to visit the Dungeon Siege III page to enter the Daily Wishlist Giveaway!
...worth noting that as of quarter past six, I cannot access the page for any Dungeon Siege game in the UK. the US pages are up fine, but not the UK ones, for some reason. And I was going to buy the DLC!

as of half 6 it seems fine to me here, having entered for today's daily giveaway thingy.
Thanks for the update. It does indeed work fine now. Guess I just wasn't patient enough. Or Steam wasn't quick enough. Or both. Who cares, I got my DLC, job's a good 'un.
Y'know what? I completely forgot to mention the price for the DLC here! I am officially a moron.
I've updated the earlier post to add in the Treasures of the Sun DLC. Not sure if I should apologise or not, but it was a silly thing to overlook and I do regret it. Sort of. Little bit.
It's also worth noting that Dungeon Siege I + II come with neither expansions nor multiplayer. Take that as you will.
Today's Daily Deal is Borderlands. Couple of ways to buy it, so here's the list.
Borderlands - £4.99 / $4.99
Borderlands 4-Pack (One for you, Three to gift away) - £14.99 / $14.99 Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition (the game and all four DLC packs) - £4.99 / $7.49
Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition 4-Pack (One for you, Three to gift) - £14.99 / $22.49 DLC Packs - The Zombie Island of Dr Ned / Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot / The Secret Armoury of General Knoxx / Claptrap's Robot Revolution - £1.57 / $2.49 each DLC Pack (all 4 DLC packs) - £4.79 / $7.49

Triple posting? How dare you?! This is the worst offense I've ever witnessed in my life.
Also I don't recommend putting Skyrim on your wishlist. If you should win the contest and recieve Skyrim for free in your Steam library, then you will spend the next 8 years without sunlight and human contact. Not that those things aren't overrated anyway.
Also Borderlands is not a game I would recommend. I frankly don't see why it's such a big deal.
Hey, I enjoyed Borderlands. Until I got to the Mad Moxxi DLC, which is nothing more than a series of incredibly long and boring arena challenges.
I busted my ass off to complete 3 different sets of 5 rounds, each of which had 5 waves (so that's 75 waves in total), only to be told that I then had to do it again with three sets of 20 rounds (360 waves in total). My rage was unparalleled.
Today's Daily Deal is RUSE, an RTS that lets you bluff your enemies and has some of the most pathetic pricing on Steam. Even before it was on offer, the price was exactly the same in Dollars and Pounds (29.99), so we in the UK would end up paying around £11 more for absolutely no reason other than lazy conversion. Hugely insulting.
Anyway, rant over. Here's the list.
RUSE - £9.99 / $9.99
RUSE Strategy Guide - £7.99 / $9.99
RUSE and Strategy Guide bundle - £11.32 / $11.66
- DLC -
The Chimera Pack - £1.66 / $2.99
The Rising of the Sun - £2.33 / $3.33

Man, I now need to find like £30-40 to get most of the games on my wishlist out of the way...
Guess its time to call out some people that owe me...
Hey, guess what? Y'know Orcs? Well Orcs Must Die! Fortunately, that's also the title of today's Daily Deal, so you can show those mythical creatures who's boss at a low, low price.
Orcs Must Die! - £2.99 / $3.74
- DLC -
Artifacts of Power - 49p / 62c
Lost Treasures - 74p / 99c
Also, this week's Midweek Madness is the King Arthur series, which I can't be bothered to list because there's like a dozen titles and I won't buy them, so meh.
...
...oh, alright.
King Arthur - £3.74 / $4.99 King Arthur: Fallen Champions (Stand-alone expansion) - £1.99 / $2.49
- DLC -
Knights and Vassals - 37p / 49c
Legendary Artifacts - 37p / 49c
The Druids - £1.99 / $2.49
The Saxons - n/a (This one's a bit weird. You can't buy it on its own, but you can buy it together with the cheaper two bits of DLC as a pack for £1.74 / $2.49. Does that make sense? Ah, whatever.)
King Arthur Collection (original game + all add-ons) - £8.74 / $9.99
Why must Orcs die? Orcs are not evil. In fact, I played an Orc once in pen and paper Dungeons & Dragons. In fact Orcs have good racials in most of the games you can control Orcs.
I'm not buying Orcs Must Die.
I feel similarly about Skyrim. Oh, so you're allowed to kill dragons because they're undead and killing undead is okay? I have a 30th level dracolich necromancer who would like to argue that point.

Hey man, it's not like you're going out of your way to hunt down orcs in Orcs Must Die. You're just sitting around minding your own business in your various fortresses and they come smashing through the door trying to kill you. They're asking to get mutilated by various traps and spells if you ask me.

Also, worth mentioning, I almost wrote New Vegan.

This week's Midweek Madness is Sniper: Ghost Warrior. £10.19 / $10.19 (stellar conversion there)
That is enough to make the list look very insteresting all by it self.
