I thought about getting LA Noire, but I read a lot of reviews that said it's a terrible port and the controls are god awful. Can anyone confirm/deny?

So, this year, for the first time since I installed Steam, I didn't buy a single game during the holiday sale. This freaks me out. I think I'm getting old, man.

Have you bought any games during one-day sales, Humble Bundles or other deals? There's been a staggering amount of PC gaming deals this year.

I don't know if I'd want to win the contest. I have so many games that I haven't had a chance to get to that I literally am finding myself overwhelmed to the point where I spend more times trying to decide what game to play than actually playing the damn games.

It'd be funny if some schmuck like me (having only two pieces of coal) won the contest. :p

I'm betting there are a lot more people out there with <5 pieces of coal than there are people with >10.

My current total is 21, which I'm not crafting because I don't need more Valve coupons (even if there may be a slim chance of getting a specific TF2 hat.)

I'd rather not win the Grand Prize because having all the games on Steam might make me a target for hackers. I certainly wouldn't mind winning my top 5 games, though, even with my current backlog.

I hate that feeling so much.

So I only play Skyrim now.

I played Arkham City today and finished up the Azrael and Deadshot sidequests. I still have to finish the Catwoman missions and have hundreds of trophies to find yet. I still wish they opened up the robin and nightwing skins for city exploration/trophy hunting.

If I win the grand prize, you can bet your ass I'm not going to be dumb enough to announce it. That'd be a massive "hack me" sign on my forehead.

Hopefully no one on your friends list is dumb enough to announce it for you.

I gotta wonder what that notification looks like in a news feed, though. I thought some of the publisher packs were a massive wall'o'text...

Better than when the bundles end up costing more than the games purchased separately.

How does that even happen?

I mean the 0.01 i get, it's from rounding the prices after the % cut for the individual games... but costing more shouldn't happen unless the games have different % off and you're calculating the median % badly...

the first one's just weird... but the 2nd one is what i said in reverse... right, didn't think of that.

Speaking kind of on this topic. Over the holiday sale I picked up LA Noire for PC. I already own it for PS3 but it was literally cheaper for me to buy the complete edition off of steam than to get the DLC off the PSN.

Steam one-day: Ship Simulator Extremes $7.49
Weekend deal (as AmE mentioned) is select Sonic games $2.49 - $14.99


Greenman Gaming has a coupon code ( CUSTO-MERLO-YALTY ) for 25%-off any game pre-purchase during January. Right now that doesn't seem to be a lot of titles, though the buzz for Gotham City Impostors is pretty good. Also, The Darkness II and King Arthur II should both redeem on Steam.


Direct2Drive has a weekend coupon code ( ENDURANCE) for 20%-off any game.
