Re: Steam Christmas Sale
I hope that CS:S comes on sale for $5 again.
Re: Steam Christmas Sale
Got Bad Company 2 today, glad I was too cheap to get it at $15 and waited. Wish I'd brought my gaming laptop to my grandparents' house. I think I'm pretty much done buying games this sale unless Dirt 2 goes on sale. I can stay busy with the games I have now for quite a while.

Re: Steam Christmas Sale
Is that Super Meat Boy game any good on its own merits, or is it just another overhyped "OMG RETRO 8 BIT (even though it has colors and effects of a 1996 arcade game) INDIE GAEM"? (As a benchmark, I didn't see why Braid was such hot poop.)

Re: Steam Christmas Sale
I hate that game more than any game I have ever hated before. It's fun, but jesus I'm terrible at it.bicostp wrote:Is that Super Meat Boy game any good on its own merits, or is it just another overhyped "OMG RETRO 8 BIT (even though it has colors and effects of a 1996 arcade game) INDIE GAEM"?

Re: Steam Christmas Sale
Anyone else notice really really slow download times on steam lately?
I usually DL at like 500kb-1mb/s
Now its like downloading at likle 50kb/s.
EDIT: As I was typing this, it jumped to 400kb/s and then now it went to nothing? HL2 just says 32%. Its not paused, but has no speed indication.
Grr, steam. Work correctly.
Nothings wrong on my end.

Re: Steam Christmas Sale
Their servers get raped at this time of year because everyone is buying and downloading games. I've gotten up to 5.8 MBps on Steams servers but only managed to get about 700 KBps today. It was worse a few days ago.HotDog-Cart wrote:Grr, steam. Work correctly.

Re: Steam Christmas Sale
You people complaining about your 400k/sec download rates should stop whining... I have to deal with our 1.7 MB DSL (at 40 bucks a month no less!) downloading everything at a maximum rate of 180k/sec. Do you know how long it takes for 10 gigs of Dirt 2 to download at that rate?! (Damn long. That's how long. And it had to download up hill both ways in the snow and we LIKED IT that way!)

I've had worse in the past though. Try downloading Half Life 2: Lost Coast over 64k cable internet.
Re: Steam Christmas Sale
I wasn't doing bad on the 23rd downloading about 30GB worth of games, I was getting around 1MB/s on my 8mbps connection. Now I'm waiting anxiously for today's sales.

Re: Steam Christmas Sale
The new sales just started.
None of the "best selling" prices changed. Which means: BF2 = $6.80 still
EDIT: Nevermind. They changed it back.

Re: Steam Christmas Sale
Left 4 Dead 2 is now only $6.79, so if you don't already have it, you definitely shouldn't wait any longer at this price
