Anyone know how to change where Steams install games?

Mass Effect though is *so* worth $5.  That is an absolute must-have at that price if you've never played it before.
Wow, what a game. I've done some tasks for various people on the first station, shot at them a little, and must say it is wonderful.

The side quests mostly stink, but the main quest is good enough that you won't care.

This was on P'dox's Facebook fan page this morning:

"Welcoming Ageod to the Paradox family - 50% off all Ageod games this weekend. If you haven't tried any of their games before now is the time!"

Why do you know this?  And where can I order?
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

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Because I am a "fan" of Paradox on Facebook.  I assume you order from Gamersgate.

What does AGEOD have worth purchasing?

Buy Birth of America 2. It is a neat little game, and if you really like the interface and graphics, buy the ACW and the Napoleonics game too while the discount lasts.

Do not buy WW1, a gold version is coming out in a few months.

I've long been on the fence about that one. I've played the demo and it seems like a game I'd like to get into, but for some reason I couldn't make sense of it.

Many Matrixgames games are on sale for some reason. War in the Pacific is $20 off, War Plan Orange is $30 after discount, but WitP: Admiral's Edition isn't discounted and thus is still priced ungodly high.  :yuk:
Tempted by WPO though. I'm been on the fence regarding WitP for so long, and with WPO cheap, I figure it won't hurt too much if I can't get into it.

WPO is seriously broken by the inability if fleets to chase down a weaker, slower fleet and engage it.  Without that, and given that fleets have to end a turn in the same hex to fight a battle, i would say the model fails to capture the situation in any meaningful way.  I'd steer clear of it.
