Except that it was an insult. Good to know that you're too childish to tell an insult from sexual advances.

Better option: buy the Valve Complete Pack.

But if that's out of the question, then absolutely. L4D2 is probably one of my top ten favorite games of all time just because it's so much fun, but it's also highly skill-based. You'll learn to listen for little audio cues to watch for threats, you'll learn to conserve ammo better, you'll learn to find shortcuts to cut off large areas of large zombies... I could go on and on, but you get the idea. L4D2's versus mode is perhaps one of the most fun multiplayer modes ever, but yes it helps if you have friends who play it on Steam, or at least get into a game where everyone uses a microphone.

I used to play the game at least three hours a day, and I still find myself having loads of fun when I go back to it... granted, I'm not nearly as good now as I was back then, but I'd be down to play if you pick it up. We had a 3v3 versus match going the other night made up only of MS.net players.

If that was an insult, it failed really hard. Good to know you're still trying to derail the thread.

By the way we figured out what was causing the connection problem.

Back on topic: I was excited to see Sims 3 having a Frnachise Sale. Finally, a reason to purchase it after pirating the hell out of 2 and 3.

79.99 is 67 percent off of 239.92

The "you save" part is the amount you save from buying each part of the pack individually, each of which is on sale. Note that the individual price is 1.61 higher than the cost to you price.

Right, but see, I've actually had my eye on the Sims 3 Complete pack for a few weeks. Before the sale it was only a little more expensive than that

SHIT MOTHERFUCK

This is the first I have heard of this sale and I just dropped a shitload of money on a new computer, but there is no way it is going to get here in time. Would Steam let me buy games now and wait until I get my new computer before I download them? There is no way in hell I could play anything on the pos I have now.

Had some extra money in my Steam wallet, so I bought Atom Zombie Smasher. $2.99 isn't bad for what looks like Tower Defense + Civilization. Plus, zombies.

Atom Zombie Smasher would be a lot better if it didnt randomly take away the one merc squad that can competently deal with the zeds. Sure, maybe I could learn to herd them and ambush better, but damn

$10 for RIFT - this game is fun if you like MMOs. It's blatantly stolen many things from WoW and added a few regularly occurring world events to keep you on your toes

Command & Conquer Franchise Sale makes my panties wet

The rest is either meh or I own it

Lara Croft is brilliant at that price, especially if you find someone to co-op with. Think Diablo-lite, with guns, and platforming/physical puzzles.
Everyone should own Audiosurf, if only as a pretty music visualiser with a bit of game added in.
If you're gonna pick up Company of Heroes, definitely get the full 3-pack. They're all brilliant, and the expansions both add something different enough to the base campaign to make it worthwhile.
Don't buy Tiberian Twilight.
Sanctum is a pretty fun FPS/Tower Defence hybrid. Best played in co-op.

RIFT has a monthly subscription so that's out of the question.

I picked up AudioSurf - even I can swing 1.50.

And Gurgi bought a 4-pak of Sanctum and gifted me a copy so we'll be playing the shit out of that after it installs.

The valve pack is tempting, even though I already own the half life and half life 2 stuff because it includes portal 2.

L4D, L4D2, and Portal 2 are worth it just for those games. Everything else is just gravy.
