    Everyone should pick up Arma 2: CO so we can get some DayZ on the go!
    Arma II: Combined Operations - 50% off (oddly enough, it's not available in the UK)
    ...not that I would get it if I could. Not my sort of game at all.

    It is available. And only 40%.
    Check again. If you don't see it in the daylies you can get it from the top 20.

    Oh. Well. Oops.

    Latest Flash deal is the Command & Conquer series (everything from Tiberium Wars onwards). 75%.

    Exactly.

    What's not your sort of thing DM, Arma 2 or DayZ?

    Neither. Not a fan of realistic shooters, and I'm sick to death of zombie games. Also, I dislike online stuff.

    And as a random aside, can I ask you not to refer to me as DM? It makes me sound like I'm playing D&D. :D

    You can ask anything you like! ;)

    +1 internet for referencing Shooting Stars.

    Age of Empires III won the vote. Not that surprised, really.

    New vote is between Dungeon Siege 3 (+ trilogy, presumably), Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic and Ys Origins.

    New flash deal: Dear Esther. Wait, that's already been on offer! Gah! Usual 75.

    Managed to resist Divinity 2. There's clearly something wrong with me.
  • edited July 2012
    Oh look Universe Sandbox...complete with futbol/soccer balls(I know I know, it's just easier for us that way) and dice. Usual 75.
  • edited July 2012
    Current Flash Deals:

    Payday: The Heist 75% (runs out in 10 minutes)*
    Garry's Mod 75%
    Universe Sandbox 75%
    Anno 2070 50%
    RAGE 66%

    I did, but I accidentally gave it to my Secret Santa instead. Bit of a cock up there.

    KotOR won the public vote. Again. Seriously, who doesn't own that by now?

    New choices are Crusader Kings II, Galactic Civilizations II and Wargame: European Escalation.
  • edited July 2012
    Double post! Woo!

    Winner of the vote was Galactic Civilizations II.

    New (and final?) voting choices are Just Cause 2, L.A. Noire and Mirror's Edge.

    New Flash deals are Trine 2 and Dead Island. 75% and 66% off respectively.

    See you in a couple of hours for the last Daily Deals!

    (and final?)
    Unlikely. I participated in this vote and didn't get the "Vote Every Day" portion of the Summer Sale badge. I can only assume that the "day" actually starts when they roll over the daily deals, and in that case I'm guessing they're going to offer at least one more go at the voting.
  • edited July 2012
    Didn't get the badge either and I'm assuming the same. They'll probably give people at least 2 chances to get it.
  • edited July 2012
    In 1 hour there are new dailies. I think the vote after that will be the last one you need for the badge.

    Bioshock (franchise) - 75% off

    Football Manager 2012 - 75% off

    Jagged Alliance: Back in Action - Doesn't matter how much off there is, it's absolute shit. DO NOT BUY.
    Operation Flashpoint: Red River (franchise) - 75% off
    S.P.A.Z. - 75% off
    Tom Clancy Pack (don't let the Splinter Cell picture fool you) - 78% off

    New Flash deals - The Witcher 2 and Portal 2 (a-bloody-gain). Usual amount off.
  • edited July 2012
    It updated. A lot of repeats. And a lot of stuff unavailable to me.
    And the last thing I want was not among the deals. Oh well.
  • edited July 2012
    Bleck. Still no Lego Batman. How good is Stacking/Costume Quest? Half tempted to pick up the Double Fine bundle just for the sake of actually buying something this sale.
    EDIT:Or S.P.A.Z, might as well try that one out, just realized that game has a demo.

    You should have bought Railworks then. Or actually something good.

    Was kind of waiting for Lego Batman, rather surprised it wasn't a daily deal. Probably won't be buying the double fine pack. Aside from Payday, nothing I really wanted went on sale.

    I REALLY doubt the Blackwell Bundle will hit 75% off by the end of the sale... but I'll keep hoping for it.

    If you meant the first one, then there'll be plenty of chances for it to go on sale again.

    If you meant the second one, then been out exactly one month. What did you expect? Besides, it's already a third off. Be lucky to get that.

    Stacking is quite good. It's a bit like an adventure game, but the NPCs are your inventory. Costume Quest is a solid, but somewhat repetitive and fairly simple, RPG.

    Second one. I know its still a new game, but you never know with these sales.

    Hey, got any plans for that second copy, 'cause I'd totally take it.

    I still can't seem to figure out who Money is and in what game I have to save that person.

    OK, so we're in the final stretch of the Flash Deals... I think. Legend of Grimrock's the newest (old) one. 60% off.

    Anyone know of any hidden gems for <$3? I have $2.93 left on my account and I'm itchin' to use it on something before the sale ends.
  • edited July 2012
    - Ben There, Dan That! / Time Gentlemen, Please!
    - Broken Sword: The Director's Cut or Broken Sword 2
    - Commandos (you could afford two of the four)
    - Hydrophobia: Prophecy
    - S.P.A.Z.
    - Serious Sam: The Random Encounter
    - Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith
    - Tobe's Vertical Adventure
    - Toki Tori
    - Wizorb

    Or you could just search through this list.

    Also, Just Cause 2 won the public vote. Maybe now the DLC will only be slightly overpriced.

    I'll keep Wizorb and Broken Sword in mind, in case nothing good pops up over in the flash sales section before it's over.

    I'm curious about The Bard's Tale, mostly because I've heard it's funny and I love the composers involved, but it seems to have mixed reviews. Has anyone here played it before?

    It is funny. A lot of the mixed reviews are based on it being a parody reboot of an Apple II game that was not a parody. I'd say on its own it stands fine, and in general it has been remembered more kindly in hindsight than it was at release.

    I already own all the DLC anyway. Don't think I used any of it :/

    Ditto.

    Man, all those people that thought that they were going to get a game or something if they completed their badge must be pretty upset right now.

    But that's pretty much their fault for getting worked up over rumors.
