As it turned out, Steam decided for me anyway. I was all set to buy it regardless (meh, what's a fiver?) when I got home from work, and it had gone up to £7.50. So I thought, "Bugger that.". ;)

I don't quite follow what the complaint about Facebook is. Couldn't you just not link your profile to Facebook? That's what I did. Or is there some incentive for linking that I don't know about?

TF2 achievements for making Youtube videos pissed me off more.

Complaint about Facebook = it's everywhere. It's inescapable. And the few places it is escapable quickly sign up to splash "join us on Facebook" all over their sites.

Although an idea occurred to me during the whole Anonymous/LulzSec thing... given the incredible about of info present on there... breaking Facebooks security would have been a nasty slap in the face about security of personal information online to millions of people - did they not try, or did they try and were unsuccessful?

...

edit:

Anyway, this is the SSS thread.

I just bit on Railworks 2 and some of the more interesting Steam related British DLC. Oh, and the American 'Big Boy' train, because I remember watching a documentary about that when I was a kid and thinking "Wow... I'd love to drive that."

Now I can, albeit in a game. :mrgreen:

hmm... the Bad Company 2 pack for US$9.99... also has the skin DLC for 2.04. Contemplating if I should get that.

I'm waiting to see if they'll put Bulletstorm into their daily deal sale. That'd be one game I'd snag if the price is right.

Another day, another sale.

Torchlight -- US$2.99
Transformers: War for Cybertron -- US$7.49

Played neither... but definitely notables. Still waiting on Bulletstorm. C'mon, Steam/Epic! :P

I was on the fence for the two Bioshock game for 5 bucks each. But then I figure: I can wait until Infinite comes out and maybe there'll be another sale on the Bioshock games. Then again, the 2k Pack would be worthy to snag... just that it has one problem: Duke Forever :D

What's Bulletstorm actually like? And is it GfWL infected?

Yes, I believe Bulletstorm is infected w/ GfWL. I only have two games that uses it: SF4 and FlatOut Ultimate Carnage. No problems with it... yet. *knocks on wood*

What's it like? Different in terms of FPS gameplay. Outrageous methods to kill your enemies, kinda like how Duke Nukem should have been like in some respect. It's one of those games I really wanna try out. But since it was released w/ a US$60 pricetag, I opted out of it. Now it's $30 but I want to see it get reduced further as part of the Steam daily sales.

I hear it's got terrible use of foul language and profanities... but ... well... who am I to judge? I just play the game.

Eh, the language is just Epic Games trying to prove they're adults by acting peurile.

Which rather defeats the object. ;)
