Well, if no-one wanted to celebrate me being 1337, then how about the 200th post in this thread? 'cause my last post was that as well. Double-whammy! And not one post to say congrats? Bah!
CONGRATULATIONS
I didn't notice any of that actually, and to be honest, I hate you now both for hogging the 200th post AND for having a ludicrous post count!!
EDIT: Oi! Sneaking in like that... honestly. Can't a guy enjoy a game of Duke 3D without getting ninja'd?
Today's Daily Deal is, of all things, Chessmaster Challenge. Need I say more? £2.55 / $3.40
Today's THQ Temptation is the Red Faction franchise. Couple to get through, so bear with me.
Red Faction - £1.25 / $2.50 Red Faction II - £1.25 / $2.50 Red Faction: Guerilla - £3.74 / $5 Red Faction: Armageddon - £7.49 / $12.50 Red Faction: Armageddon DLC (Path to War) - £1.12 / $1.75
...sadly no package deals there, unless you count one for Armageddon and its Strategy Guide.
Also worth noting that Deathspank: The Baconing is on offer due to some utterly pointless DLC coming out. (A new co-op player character, if you must know). It's currently £4.99 / $7.49, if you haven't taken the smart route and bought it on a console.
FYI, the UK is going to get seriously screwed in the following offers. Some pathetically poor price conversion, with half not even converted at all. So yeah, these prices are right, though only in a technical sense, not a 'justified' manner, if that makes sense.
Today's Daily Deal is Heroes of Might and Magic V. £4.99 / $4.99
Today's THQ Temptation is Homefront. £14.99 / $14.99. There's also some DLC and stuff:
The Rock Map Pack - £1.49 / $2.50 Fire Sale Map Pack - £1 / $1.49 Express 870 Shotgun - 69p / 99c (not actually on offer)
The weekend deal, in honour of the franchise's 15th anniversary is the recent Tomb Raider trilogy. Alphabetically (and coincidentally, also chronologically from Lara's POV):
By the way, there's no point in listing all the deals in 18 different currencies. Just the dollar price is more than ample, and people are capable of opening up their own Steam to check the price in their own currency.
I've only ever used the two big currencies - Dollars and Pounds. $ for others, and $ for me. They've been fine up 'til now, and I see no reason to change it.
Besides, I thought the Euro price was roughly the same figure as the dollar one?
Today's Daily Deal is Heroes of Might and Magic V. £4.99 / $4.99
btw, Heroes of Might & Magic Vis on sale (for $5 @ 50% off), but the 2 individual expansions for it ($10 ea) are not and the package deal which bundles the game and the expansions together ($30) is also not.
Interestingly, this means that if you buy the game and expansions separately, you spend $5 less than had you bought them bundled.
The game is quite good--the Heroes series being a turn-based-strategy game that my parents have and are rather fond of--but this sale confuses me.
Hmm, that's a better deal on Underworld than what I paid during the Summer Camp sale, but I got the better deal on Legend and Anniversary, so all together, I think I spent a dollar less on the trilogy.
That's what he/she said. (Sorry couldn't resist. )
I managed to get The Baconing + DLC.
Not in a rush to get the DLC for Red Faction: Armageddon, as I haven't played a singe one of the games yet. Well the same goes for Deathspank, but the 50% of was too tempting to resist.
GOG has an excellent Atari sale going on, with a flat 50% discount on games like The Witcher, Alone in the Dark, Outcast, and Blood going for half their asking price. Most on sale are $2.99, with the exceptions being Master of Orion 3, Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, and The Witcher, which are $4.99 each.
Today's Daily Deal is the Max Payne bundle, which you really should own by this point - it's been on offer enough times. Anyway, it's £1.49 / $2.49 each, or £2.49 / $3.74 for the two.
The weekend THQ Temptation is the entire Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series. Lot to get through here, so bear with me!
First of all, Dawn of War II: Retribution is free to play all weekend. Which is nice. As for the sellables...
Dawn of War: Gold - £4.99 / $10 Dawn of War: Dark Crusade - £4.99 / $10 Dawn of War: Soulstorm - £4.99 / $10 Dawn of War II - £10 / $10 Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising - £10 / $10 Dawn of War II: Retribution - £14.99 / $14.99 Dawn of War II: Trilogy - £25 / $30
...and some DLC for Retribution...
Retribution Complete Race Pack - £1.75 / $2.50 (note that this is labelled as the 'All Wargear DLC' pack, despite actually being the 6 different race packs) Retribution Wargear Bundle - £4 / $5.99
...and I am not finding out the Euro prices for all those!

In other vaguely related news, Costume Quest has spontaneously materialized on Steam, with achievements, cloud save and Grubbins on Ice included. Hopefully this means Stacking isn't very far off.
Ah yes. Only problem is, it's £11.99 / $14.99, which is a bit of a nuisance if you have Playstation Plus, where it's currently free. Still, nice to have it on the PC.
Today's Daily Deal is The Last Remnant, an RPG by Sqeenix (also known as Square-Enix by people who have no sense of humour). £5 / $10, which is a wee bit skewed conversion-wise, but it's not a very good game, so I doubt anyone really cares.
Regarding the GOG sale, please throw all the money you can throw at the Star Control games, as the original creators have said they'd love to make another one and thus I want Atari to want to let them.

Today's Daily Deal is Kaptain Brawe, a wonderful little adventure game that I highly recommend, especially given that it's only £3.75 / $5.
Thanks. After having played the demo I thought it was a decent enough game, but not worth getting at full-price for Windows. For €5 it seemed like a good buy.
I looked for it on desura.com quite recently, but it seems they haven't gotten around to making the half-promised Linux version yet. Which is a shame really, since I'm usually willing to pay a lot more for games with native Linux support.

I actually rather liked it, and thought it was a steal for £5.
Today's Daily Deal is EVE Online: Incarna. £3.75 / $5. Bear in mind this price does not include future monthly payments you'll need to make, seeing as it's a Mumorpeger and hasn't gone free-to-play because it's actually making a profit, unlike most other ones.

But apparently you can buy game-time with the in-game currency you get from playing the game.
The game looks interesting actually, dunno, might be worth a look.

Ah, but do you get any game-time in the first place?
Its something that I remember buying EVE on one of the previous steam sales, and I still haven't activated my 30 days free. The trial sort of put me off it I think.
This week's Midweek Madness is Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which is 25% off at £22.49 / $37.49. The Augmented edition is also reduced at £33.74 / $44.99, but the DLC is not on offer.

CONGRATULATIONS

I'm gonna go pout in the corner now.
Great game + the stand-alone expansion. Get it at this price if you don't own it already and can live with the pretty dated 2D-graphics.
...I don't think so....
When TWOYM thread got moved to the games section?
$3,40/ €3,06/ £2,55
Today's THQ deal is Red Faction for 75% off.
This includes Red Faction, Red Faction II, Red Faction Guerrilla, Red Faction: Armageddon Path to War DLC and Red Faction: Armageddon.
12,50 for Armageddon and 1,25 for the other crap. I don't like this type of game so I could hardly care less about this deal.

the problem with Euros is that there are (three) different price tiers for that.
Besides, I thought the Euro price was roughly the same figure as the dollar one?

Then it sounds like you came out on top all the way around.

Thanks for that. I bought it.
