It's Shadow. Singular. Sorry, pet peeve of mineShadows of Mordor is 40% off on Steam. Not huge, but for a fairly new game, might interest some, given that it's Batman: Arkham - meets - Assassin's Creed - in a Tolkien-like setting.
I understand pet peeves, but changing people's words around just so you can rant about it is childish.It's Shadow. Singular. Sorry, pet peeve of mine
It is much, much better than anyone ever expected it to be.Bought Shadow of Mordor. Husband rolls eyes.
Husband watches me play for 10 minutes, immediately buys it for himself as well.
Oh no! A great game from 1997 that's been on GOG for 5 bucks for ages is now free on origin! How will the literally dozens upon dozens of F2P games on steam ever stop the mass abandonment of steam for origin that will assuredly follow?!
Only redeemable on STEAM, or also on GOG (at work, can't check site)? It's kind of a dick move to release all of these games on GOG over the last few weeks only to have HB of them all on Steam right after. Also, if it's only steam, a warning, some of these games are NOT fully functional in their Steam versions; GOG has remastered and updated quite a few to run on Win7/8 and 64 bit systems.Star Wars Humble Bundle
KOTOR
Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
Dark Forces
Pay more than the average:
Battlefront 2
KOTOR 2
Republic Commando
Plus more to to be added next week.
More than $12
Empire at War Gold Pack
The Force Unleashed
The Force Unleashed 2
Definitely not the GOG versions, because the Humble Bundle version of Dark Forces isn't Linux compatible, but the GOG version is.Only redeemable on STEAM, or also on GOG (at work, can't check site)?

Probably because those games will be added next week.I'm a little perplexed that the bundle would have Dark Forces but not Jedi Knight or Jedi Knight 2 (especially given that Jedi Knight was originally sold as Dark Forces 2)
Yeah, I'm with @figmentPez. We're probably getting them and maybe Jedi Academy next week.I'm a little perplexed that the bundle would have Dark Forces but not Jedi Knight or Jedi Knight 2 (especially given that Jedi Knight was originally sold as Dark Forces 2)
Only for old games. It doesn't do the dosbox emulation thing like GOG does. So a lot of old dos/win95 type games, if you get em on steam, they won't work on your win7/8/etc machine.Wait when did steam become bad?
I resisted getting steam as long as I possibly could because I hate the concept of always-on DRM, but the steam sales won me over.I mean, yeah I know that about steam, i just thought everyone loved it in spite of all that due to the benefits you get in trade for the managed environment.
This is true (rather it's true he's said that), but even so, I've got over 100 games in my steam library, and maybe 10-15 of them installed. Any of those games I don't have installed if and when "steam crumbles," I've lost out on. Though, in a pleasantly self-contradictory fashion, I hate keeping up with physical media now, too... soooooo.....While we have no way of knowing if it's true, Gaben (or at least someone at valve, I'm too lazy to find the exact quote) have stated that valve has a master patch to remove all online drm from steam games should the service ever crumble and have to shut down.
Steam does have a backup feature. You're more than able to dump a compressed image of the data onto an external harddrive. Steam can even do it in batches if you want multiple games per folder.This is true (rather it's true he's said that), but even so, I've got over 100 games in my steam library, and maybe 10-15 of them installed.

Mostly true, but not 100% true.An external HD with all my Steam game installs is a brick if the Steam servers go off line.
Used to do this all the time when I went on deployment. Would run into a problem sometimes even with ensuring things were set up prior to in off-line mode. One thing that I noticed was even though you managed to gather all the achievements, whenever you reconnected to Steam they would be back to where they were when you first went offline. Such a bummer when I had half my library at the time complete.Mostly true, but not 100% true.

Anyone who spends that much on it, I can only say this:In a Game Not on Sale post, the new Mortal Kombat has a fucking 100 dollar digital deluxe edition on Steam (in Canadian barely money).
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck off.
