I guess I'll wait for the 10 buck sale, then. ;)

XCOM is $33.50 on Steam for the next 6 1/2 hours.   :hmm:

It's easily the best game of 2012.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'm having a pretty good time with it.  Either this one or Far Cry 3 would be my choice for game of the year.

Haven't played it, but the RPS review was rather glowing:

I tend to trust their reviews - usually, if they recommend a game, I tend to enjoy it, too. Also, they're pretty good at pointing out game flaws, even if they enjoy the title (the pop up messages he rants about have supposedly been patched away).

I spotted the 50% off FM2013 deal on GG two minutes before it expired.
Facing the need for a lightning-quick decision on "spend money or not spend money", I made my usual choice.

Installing now.

IT MEANS I BOUGHT IT!!!! :P

But, oddly enough, now it shows as Deal of the Day for 24 more hours.

Sacred 2 Gold has appeared on Steam, for an introductory price of 9.99 (down from 19.99).

I liked the original Sacred quite a bit (it had a weird sense of humor that suited me fine), so this seemed like a good deal.

I haven't played it since that patch (beat it already and am waiting for mods now heh), but from the screenshots I've seen, it appears you can turn everything except the minimap off now, including the extremely annoying popup reminder things.  There was a prepatch mod that made that appear only every 900 seconds though, which helped a lot (default is apparently 90 seconds, accompanied by...noise with lots of bass.  It sucked).

I just wish the map was like the one in Far Cry 2, where it's pretty much just you looking down at it while the game isn't paused or anything, including when you're driving.

It has implied gay rape in it, too, so Grallon should be down.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I'm waiting to see if Far Cry 3 gets a price cut on the Steam Sale.

Spec Ops The Line is 66% off on Steam for 5 more hours. I remember reading good things about it, and Syt endorsed it as well, so going to  buy it at that price.
