I think I might finally buy Portal 2.

Definitely get this game. The next time it's going to be guaranteed cheap is during winter sales, so quite a bit away.

I think I'm going to pick up InMomentum, and any other cheap game on my wishlist, since it's the last day.

Final damage is

The Witcher 2 $15.99

Far Cry 2 $2.49

Rage $9.99

Dead Space

Dead Space 2 $9.98 for both

Killing Floor $7.49

The Binding of Issac $1.24

Train Simulator 2012 $3.99

Payday The Heist $4.99

Just Cause 2 $3.74

Not bad for $57.41 and I might still buy any of the 3 games that come up on a flash sale tomorrow, even though I know I shouldn't lol.

Fable III Collection

Shoot Many Robots

Darkness II

Serious Sam 3 BFE

I caved and bought Cities XL 2012 the other day off steam when it was on sale... thought it would be a good thing to hold me over till simcity 5, but after playing simcity my entire life, it just doesnt' feel right... the UI is garbage, but the city graphics are nice

Forgot to add Max Payne 1 and 2. Got them both for $3.74. I couldn't pass that up even I may not get to it for a while.

I amazingly did not purchase a single game, one because I realize I buy way to many new games on release, and two mainly because of my wrist issues I have to avoid using the computer whenever possible, so for better or for worse console gaming is now my main way of playing games. So I pretty much have already played every one of these games on the consoles.

I do need to check out the Binding Of Issac though, is that the new game from Team Meat Boy?

Yup. You run into a few easter eggs too with posters in Isaac of Super Meat Boy, among other things. :)

Great game! Have you tried getting a gamepad for the PC for your wrist?

Why not just hook up a controller to your PC? I find I do most of my gaming on a controller nowadays. The only exception being online FPS where you need KB+M accuracy or you're at a disadvantage.

Yeah I have a controller for sure, several actually from over the years, but at that point in time why not just sit on my couch and play the games on one of my consoles on my 55" TV?

Obviously the graphics look much better on the PC, and trust me I have hooked my gaming computer up to my TV here and there, but my wife just absolutely hates my gaming computer in our TV room as the tower I have is a beast of a Thermaltake. :laugh:

One of these days I was going to build a smaller more living room appropriate computer, but honestly for now as I said the consoles do pretty much suffice, except for FPS's, which I basically put up with the pain to play them on my computer whenever I can, as I definitely prefer a KB&M for them.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
