.. with a number of Daily Deals.
What's the consensus on Strategic War in Europe (http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-SWIE/strategic-war-in-europe)? I like the scale and the tech advances and some other things that I'm reading but man, those graphics are just horrendous. The boot of Italy looks like something a Cabbage Patch doll would be wearing. I suppose I can go look for some graphic mods for it but how's the gameplay?

Heh. I've seen a
lot worse in the grog realm.
Thanks for the heads up - but I think I can find more interesting things in my bin! :)
Shit hot! I've been holding out for Steel Armor Blaze of War! Now it's MINE! ;D

Yeah.. it's like $5 isn't it?
Perhaps I should've pointed that out to all those people enjoying Achtung Panzer & it's DLC lately. :)
While most of the titles on this sale have been there regularly through the past year, there are a few that are worth checking out. Maybe the daily deals will cough up something that may tempt me, too.
Omerta was about the only thing that caught my eye - but that was £20!
What the hell is it with some of those "Simulator" games? Bungee Simulator? Logger Simulator? Demolition Simulator (or whatever they're called)??
Don't forget Curling 2012!
It may be a hit with some of our Canuckistani friends up north! ;D

Don't count on it. Curling without copious amounts of beer is pointless. ;D

QFT! But it is a blast with said copious amounts of beer... ;)
Canadians are into Curling?
Hmm... circular object is slid over ice to score points...
Ok, forget I asked.

Kind of funny...when I saw this....it actually seriously peaked my interest....always wanted to trying curling, never knew there was a game out:)
Does this sport have to do with hair at all? Cause my wife and sister "Curls" theirs all the time. Doesn't seem very manly to me unless it involves chest hair I suppose. ;D
APOS here I come.
This is one of those rare times I'm happy I'm broke, as then it's easy to resist the temptation to buy anything.
Space Hulk + RPG + Zombie Apocalypse == Survivor Squad, now on Gamersgate today for $2.75.
...sorry, Martok, what were you saying? I was busy clicking like a fiend on that game (and I don't even like zombipox.)
I think we all need therapy. :P
Sword of the Stars II worth getting? I got the first one but never played... I thought the 2nd one had bad reviews when it first came out, did they fix it up?
From everything I've heard they have worked hard to fix up SotS2 very well, and it is entirely worth buying (especially on sale). I picked it and its two current expansion packs a few months ago.
However it plays somewhat differently from SotS1, so there actually is reason to still play the first game, as some people prefer the gameplay of one to the other.
Sheesh 5 hours to download 1.0+ GB. This reminds me why I don't buy from Gamersgate anymore.
^I don't have that problem with them.
Maybe it's a temporary thing (because of the sales or some other random crap).
I usually get good download speeds from them.
BTW, their servers were in Europe if I remember correctly.
I believe it is due to geography and internet infrastructure.
I am in Asia and I suspect it is routed through the US first if it is form Europe. This has been happening ever since.

Which part of Asia, I'm in the westernmost part.

At least you can even browse their Summer Sale.
Try getting Steam's store page to load right now. It's like masturbating with a cheese grater. ::)

Wouldn't that put you at Schliemann's Folly? :D
^ What?
The westernmost point of Asia looks to be where Troy once stood. Heinrich Schliemann was the man largely responsible for locating it, on the western tip of the Turkish mainland.

Yep, silly me.
Sinai is also somewhat part of Asia as well.
Well, I'm in the almost-westernmost-part-of-Asia. :D
