    Why would they do that?

    They are having a big pack every day until now. Space Marine will have it's moment.:o

    Odd we aren't seeing titles like Meat Boy or Terraria yet.

    $5 for Morrowind isn't bad at all.

    Get the deluxe version - it's got in-game extras unavailable elsewhere. Like, at all.

    You're thinking of Oblivion, not Morrowind. On Steam, Morrowind is only sold in a GOTY edition, which includes both expansions.

    Also:

    OH MY NEW STUFF.

    The theme for these flash sales seems to be games that are amazingly brilliant:

    Spec Ops: The Line - 66% off($10.19).
    KOTOR II - 75% off($2.49)
    Rayman: Origins - 66% off($10.19)

    Oh yeah. I get confused about that sometimes.

    For the love of god people, get Spec Ops: The Line. It is a brilliant game and well worth that price (though I have seen it cheaper elsewhere, it's not been by much, so you may as well grab it now).

    Also: Rayman Origins is finally cheap enough for me to actually get it even though I'll probably never play it on the PC because by the time I get round to it I'll have picked it up for the PS3! Woo!

    I caved in and got KOTOR II. I haven't played any Star Wars games (I'm not a big Star Wars fan) besides Episode I Racer, but I've heard so many good things about the KOTOR series that I just had to give it a chance. Plus, the Restored Content Mod intrigues me. I'm a sucker for fan work that improves functionality (my love for ScummVM and ResidualVM attests to that). :)

    Please do me a favour: buy and play the first game before playing KOTOR II.

    If you haven't, this would be ideal. KOTOR II ties a bit into the mythology and characters set up in the first game, and part of the brilliance of it is how it reflects on the first game, its events, and its characters. I'd suggest playing these two back to back if at all possible.

    Seconded. Both great games in their own right, but even better if played together.

    (And they are both on offer, even if Steam doesn't make it entirely clear, so you might as well)

    I'm always tempted to buy KOTOR II when I see it on sale, but seeing as I barely managed to get past the tutorial level of KOTOR, and did so without ever figuring out how the damn combat system works (Yes, I know, turn-based RPG except you queue your actions and watch several play out at once. I still don't get what's going on when I play it.), I can never justify the purchase.

    I still intend to go back to KOTOR and try again at some point. Just haven't worked up the motivation.

    Edit: Fuck it. My Steam library's already full of games I haven't even touched (and thanks to Humble Bundle and Indie Royale, several games that I don't even know what the hell they are), so for $2.50, what's one more?

    Americans(or overseas people with an American Amazon address) who want Spec Ops should buy it from here instead.

    Twenty cents less, and comes with the first two Bioshock games as separate keys.

    I grabbed it.

    Ah, I didn't know KOTOR was on sale too. OK, I picked that up too, so I'll play them in order. :)

    Bleck. Just got locked out by steam gaurd. Wouldn't normally be a problem if it weren't for the fact that I had to use a temporary email account on steam and IT locked me out. Sent a support ticket to steam with my Skyrim CD code, so I hope that is enough proof I own the account so they can disable steam guard...

    So, scanning the Dawn of War bundle I picked up earlier... was there a reason why they had to put The Last Standalone in it? And why don't I have it?

    The Last Stand is a popular mode of the latest Dawn Of War Expansion if I remembder correctly and was released as a standalone product at a lower price. I have no idea though how that works. Maybe it just gives you a version of Retribution when you buy it on it's own?

    I get what The Last Standalone is, but it's just weird that they bothered to include it when it also comes with the full version of Retribution.

    Anyone having trouble with new games showing up in your Steam client library? I assume the servers are being overloaded right now with the exchanging of gift items and such. My dad got me a game and it shows in my profile, but it has yet to appear in my Steam client's list. I've tried deleting clienregistry.blob, restarting, and even port forwarding.

    Not sure if want Mark of the Ninja. Or, rather, not sure if want Mark of the Ninja when we still have an update for the Humble Indie Bundle 7 coming, and the developer of MotN is the same developer as Shank 2, so there's a tiny chance.
