GMG actually has the expansion packs for $7.49 each, for anyone who still needs to grab them

They were previously over-delivering on value.
Given Bethesda's annoying DLC pricing, this may end up being the mostly widely entered modbot giveaway

I wasn't gonna say it, but thanks.
Edit: A little shy of two years, with two acts left to go.
The closer you'll ever get to feeling/seeing the psychological changes and suffering of being at war on a hostile foreign land through a video game.
As a game it's a very solid FPS and has an amazing work of integrating the sound track with the game play (quite the good soundtrack as well).
But the story, everyone who has played it will remember it.
Given that your not a psychopath who's unable to feel empathy towards others... *ahem*

You must live an absolutely miserable life.
You can't rush art, which KR0 absolutely is. It's much more about the journey, and the people that love it understand that. This isn't some hokey telltale feelgoodery story. The two guys working on it have a story they want to tell which has changed for the better as development has progressed. Absolutely everyone who has had the game was feeling bummed out by the year wait between Act 2 and 3 until they played it - then, suddenly, everyone was utterly in love and totally forgiving of how long it had been. But no one would understand this simply by sitting from the sidelines and judging it by the fact that the dev team is incredibly small, live their own lives outside of the game, and happen to take a while to get something that they find perfect by their standards.
Then again, I find myself waiting for The Dream Machine to be completed before I start playing it. I did, however, pay for it all up front. I realize not everyone is willing to do that.

Voted Gettysburg because goddamn I want a modern Cossacks game and this is the closest I can get. Damnit...
I moved from UK to Sweden a while back and my Wallet is still in £s, when I need it to be Euros. After trying and failing to VPN/Proxy my way around it, I did the adult thing and contacted Steam Support, requesting they switch the default currency and, maybe, exchange my existing UK Wallet funds to a currency I can actually spend.
Question is: has anyone been through a similar process and know what Steam's response is? Any idea what their resolution time is for Support queries of this nature? It's been three days and, while I'm sitting here passive-impulsively refreshing my email, I suspect I need to just back off and give them a week or two to actually respond.
Blackguards is excellent if you go into it for turn-based combat and character/party-building only. The story, setting and world is just a vehicle to shift your group from one punishing, varied hex-based battleground to the next. I really enjoyed it, knowing nothing about the pen&paper ruleset prior; there's a 'Help' section which, if you scroll down past the keybindings, goes into lots of useful detail about character builds and effective allocation of precious skill/attribute points.

It's bad anyway I think, I wish sonar was on sale instead.
At least KR0 will be a little cheaper.
Sherlock Collection is good deal

"Limited-time discounts? How could I lose!?"
Child of Light is cheaper on the eShop
Joke?
It's true, at least in europe, 4.99
I usually buy like ~300 games each sale, now I've only bought Microsoft Flight Sim and sZone-Online.

I don't even have a save before entering the god damn mine -_- I'm just going to find some godly weapon mods and use that till the end.

I broke down and bought the Men of War complete set (mow, vietnam, assault) at the last second because I'm weak. All the reviews described it as hard and tactical and... yeah, I couldn't resist.
Which absolutely sucks because that was the money I was saving for Door Kickers. Grrr.
I like how Steam stripped me of my Pixel Piracy coupons that weren't supposed to expire till april the day before it goes on sale. Not that I wanted it anyway, but that is just weird. Even odder, I know they don't always do that since I stacked a Endless Space coupon during the fall sale.
I'm glad I kickstarted Wasteland 2 so I don't have to break down today.
Very happy this is the first day absolutely nothing is calling my name.
PS -- voted Gettysburg because it's the only game out of those I'd ever play.

But hey, you got Toki Tori coupons in their place!
I still have my coupons, but they don't stack.

Man, all three upcoming Community Choice games are already in my library, and all three of them are awesome in their own way.
Most people are pretty familiar with Hatoful Boyfriend and KR0 already, but I'd also highly recommend Ultimate General: Gettysburg. I'm not a wargamer at all and I found it fantastic. The user interface is amazingly intuitive, making controlling the battle in real-time a snap. The graphic design is very cool, with a sort of tilt-shift-y "map on a table" sort of look. There are really cool AI options (controlling their level of risk-seeking, whether they are more offensive or defensive, etc), and the campaign is very cool in how it reacts to what's going on ("okay, you held A and B last battle, but lost C. In response, here are three objectives we could choose to focus on for the next battle. General X suggests option 1, but General Y suggests option 2. What do you want to do?"
So yeah, if you want to dip your toes into a real-time wargame, Ultimate General: Gettysburg is totally the game to do so.

Hrmm, I'm interested in Lethal League, Child of Light, and Lichdom.
I may have a 50% off Lichdom coupon from Lootcrate that could potentially make it $5. Other than that, Lethal League and Child of Light are a little more than I expected to pick them up at, considering how many other things I have to play.
If I thought my girlfriend would play Child of Light with me, I'd get that for sure, but the co-op is one of those weird ones where player 2 doesn't really get a legit character, right? She seems to be offended by those
Lethal League would be for local multiplayer I think. Unless GAF has a Lethal League night or something. It looks like it'd be $5 a piece if splitting a 4 pack...

Is this game region locked? Can't seem to make heads or tails of where that would be listed in the steamdb >_>;

Isn't every game region locked now? As far as I know it's not something listed in steamdb.
