The game actually records your computer's specifications, your personal information, and any data stored on it, and then forwards it to the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for further analysis.

Just to scout for potential astronaut candidates, of course.

I am now going to spend hours of my time attempting to become really really good at this in hopes of becoming an astronaut via video games. Then maybe I can finally achieve my dream of playing TF2 in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE! I wonder how bad your ping would be...

[Turtle]

owned headcrab

Not sure if posted already- Serious Sam HD- The Second Encounter is now only $10. Is it worth it?

75% off all THQ games on their website:

Bought Metro2033 for $12, fuck yeh

Don't forget to disable the "extended download service" which automatically is added to your cart per game. Some bullshit $5 charge to download for up to two years.

Many of the THQ CD keys can be used on steam, so if you buy from here you can input the CD key into steam and have it be a steam game.  List of compatable retail games is here:

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_arti...-wusf-3601

Also apparently they take a couple of hours to send out the e-mail so if you don't get it immediately then that's supposedly normal.

fuck yesss

been waiting for this to get knocked down so i could get it legit.

what the fuck, wont let me buy because im in Canada.

are there any filthy rich amurikans that will buy this for me? compensation can be arranged. 

@duck no i watched for it during that big summer sale on steam and it didnt budge.

[copulatingduck]

Holy shit, Metro 2033 is a steal for that price, bought and thanks very much for the headsup :-*


Tales of Valor is $7.50, anyone know if it's worth a purchase? I see versus playing it all the time but he's fapping or sleeping or something right now and won't respond to me on steam

edit: lol, I'm pretty sure that was $5 for both of steam's huge sales recently VD. I picked it up but have yet to play it

[Surf314]

Before I buy Metro 2033 what is extended download service and how good is their download service at not being shitty?

[KarthXLR]

Saints Row 2 for 5 dollars? yes that will do.

Metro 2033 is on the list, don't spring for the download just register it on steam

[Vandamguy]

alternatively you can just burn the contents of whatever they make you download onto a DVD.

[KarthXLR]

Where were you in February when it was 5 bucks on steam?

[copulatingduck]

ya, it was def on sale in feb

According to steam I bought it for $5 Feb 2nd. Regardless, I would be down for playing with some people if anyone is interested, though I'll admit now I've never played it so I'll be a complete scrub
