That is the magic.

With Dead Island being on 50% off sale today at Steam, looking for two (2) other folks to split a Dead Island 4-pack. It’ll only be 18.745 per person. :)

That is the magic.

The music and the art is part of the experience.

kerzain:

You could probably forgo the gameplay and just read all the conversations somewhere on the web, because that’s really all the game is; save for the running around.

trololololol

Found a 3rd guy to share the pack, just missing 1 more to complete the 4-pack :)

I´ll take it. PM me

LMN8R · 2011-12-18T12:58:14.000Z

I’d hold out on Dead Island - it’ll probably be the same price or cheaper during the winter sale that starts tomorrow!

Chappers · 2011-12-18T12:59:08.000Z

Anyone still want to share a 4-pack on Dead Island, if so I am in for one.

Thanks,

Chappers.

Robert_Sharp · 2011-12-18T13:12:33.000Z

I agree with LMN8R. In fact, I’m pretty sure the Thanksgiving sale was cheaper. Didn’t we get our 4 pack for 15 bucks each then? Steam Sale starts tomorrow (so they say).

LockerK · 2011-12-18T13:17:37.000Z

It’s $15 each again this time (in the US). Not sure where the extra 3.75 is coming from, regional pricing?

So, there’s something on the Steam store that keeps popping up, an update for Team Fortress 2 called Australian Christmas. That is driving me crazy. What the hell is an Australian Christmas? How is it different from Christmas anywhere else? And what could it possibly have to do with Team Fortress 2?

Wait, is there snow during an Australian Christmas?

Qmanol · 2011-12-18T16:05:40.000Z

Not in most places. Tasmania certainly, and some other places.

Greybriar · 2011-12-18T17:07:34.000Z

There have been some additional titles added to the GamersGate offers. Included are a number of Paradox and Paradox France (AGEOD) titles as well as numerous others. A couple of them that I am thinking about buying are Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943 for $6.80 and the King Arthur Collection for $10.18. Are they worth the money?

Marcin · 2011-12-18T18:31:49.000Z

Hardwar is on sale for 2.99 at DotEmu. Has anyone used them before?

@Greybriar: Achtung Panzer is a very grognardy tactical/realtime wargame with a somewhat obtuse interface and pretty fantastic gameplay (by most accounts). If that’s your thing, that’s a great deal.

Kalle · 2011-12-18T18:33:52.000Z

The new Achtung Panzer game, Operation Star, has an improved interface. Improved doesn’t mean intuitive but it can help. I’d suggest you try the demo.

Was there a super secret memo regarding the Steam Winter sale?

Everyone keeps saying it starts tomorrow.

Some dev leaked the dates on his Twitter weeks ago. Plus it started on the 20th last year.

I’m from the Philippines. so could be regional pricing. Gods! I hate it when that happens. :(
