    I'm going to make this simple. The only reason you shouldn't buy Mark of the Ninja is if you already own it.

    And another HIB game: Bundles 4 and 7.

    Get Games currently has a Sega Sale on, with lots of games 50% or 75% off.

    This includes The Cave, which is half price.

    Gah! What do I not pay you people for? Today's Daily Deal is 80% off...

    header_586x192.jpg

    Yes, that includes BFE and the Jewel of the Nile DLC. Astonishingly good value if you don't already own it all.

    I must have an error, then, because according to my client we've got another day of 80% off Serious Sam.

    No that's on steams end. But the news article at the bottom states the real deal.

    GAH! Just a few days ago I purchased Civ 3.

    Oh well, on to purchasing Civ 5, the only one on Steam I don't have.

    EDIT:

    Apparently.

    Today's Daily Deal is not Sins of a Solar Empire, no matter what Steam says, and is instead 66% off...

    No wonder I see no deal.
  • edited March 2013
    Maybe you'll see today's (actually, no, you probably won't). It's 75% off...

    header_586x192.jpg

    Bear in mind this is only three games - Soul Reaver 1, 2 and Defiance. No Blood Omens for Steam users!

    The Midweek Madness:

    I swear, I WILL do something with RPGMaker, Mr Secret Santa! I've got holiday coming up, I'll dabble in it then!

    I disagree.

    Also The Legacy of Kain games are cheaper on Gamersgate.
    Read this: http://steamcommunity.com/app/224300/discussions/0/864961537317649879/
    Includes a coupon code to get them even cheaper.

    Be aware: they don't have proper 360 controller support.

    I was surprised to see Darksiders on sale, but I guess THQ is still around to authorize one so... Immortal Throne sale please.

    They're not, Darksiders' rights and dev were bought by Crytek.

    The rights now too? I know about the devs but even the game rights now? Last week it was still unclear if anybody would care to pick this franchise up.

    Is there any place where you can buy the first Blood Omen? It's not on GOG either.

    PSN's probably your cheapest choice - the PS1 version's on there.

    If you're after the PC version though, you're pretty much out of luck. eBay'll be your best bet until GOG gets their act together. Be warned though - it's rather dated.

    Nope, the rights to Darksiders still belong to the husk of THQ, along with a laundry list of other stuff they're trying to sell. But as far as I can tell, they're still open, so they could probably still authorize a sale on what little they do still have.

    50% off. WTF!
  • edited March 2013
    Thinking about getting RPG Maker for the fun of it, but does anybody know what's different between the full version and the lite version? I downloaded the lite version and it seems pretty full-featured, and I can't get a good sense of what the advantages are that would be worth spending $35 to unlock.
  • edited March 2013
    There's a few database, map, and script restrictions, and the end results can't be published commercially. So if you just wanna fiddle around and get a good feel for it, then the lite version'll do you nicely, but if you want to use it to make actual games you can sell, then you'll need the full version.

    You should already own this by now, but on the off chance you've just woken from a coma, here you go.

    You can use scripts in the full version, and you can use it for commercial purposes, even with the base graphics and / or addon content.
  • edited March 2013
    This reminds me that I need to re familiarise myself with RPGmaker.
    (I think I have one of the latest versions I bought a few months ago)

    Light version doesn't let you mess with scripts? :(

    Has a limit.
  • edited March 2013
    Do I have to quote myself?

    Eh, I like proving myself right, so I'll do it anyway.

  • edited March 2013
    Well, there's a difference between limited script use and not being able to use scripts. Are these differences properly documented anywhere? I'm very interested in playing with the scripts so the specifics of the limits matter a bit...

    Ehh I suppose I'll buy it anyway
  • edited March 2013
    From the RPGMaker forums:
    The restrictions/limits pertain to databases, maps and scripts. Apparently they are:
    - 10 heroes
    - 10 classes
    - 126 skills
    - 16 items
    - 60 weapons
    - 60 armors
    - 30 enemies
    - 30 troops
    - 25 states
    - 110 animations
    - 10 common events
    - No call script but you can use the script functions of the other event commands like variable.
    - No script editor
    - 4 Tilesets
    - 10 events per map.
    - 20 maps max.

    As well, while you are free to make games you are unable to produce any commercial games through RPG Maker VX Ace Lite like you are with the full version.
  • edited March 2013
    There. That's proving yourself right. Just quoting yourself and affirming it isn't really proof. It's just kind of being a douche. :D

    Hmm, so three days after SimCity's disaster of a launch, and Kalypso decides to put Tropico 4 on sale for a week. I'm sure it's just a coincidence, like how GOG just "decided" to promote SimCity 2000 a day after said nightmarish launch.

    Edit: Make that ALL of Tropico on sale for 75% off.

    Well, that was random.

    Also a quick note. Uplay has a pretty good sale going on, I got Far Cry 3 for $35 and Driver San Francisco for free!

    For the love of god, buy this game. And then get the Sith Lords Restored mod. But buy this first. It's good.

    Where's Dashing when you need him to endorse the !@#$ out of this?
