    Space marine. I'm having some trouble with the controls. Been a while since I played 3rd person shooters, so my aim is horrible.

    Yeah but Portal 2 is on 50% off sale like all the damned time at least. Skyrim is on a 33% off sale a lot. From today's deals. Tropico 4 was just on a deep sale, as was Two World 2, Borderlands is on sale for 5-7$ everytime I turn around, same with Frozen Synapse. Tribes Ascend starter pack I bought 4 days ago for 50% off, today it's 75%. The only insane deal I've seen so far is Max Payne 3 for 50% off, and it's thrown into the Rockstar games pack with GTA 4 and Liberty City AND LA Noire for 50 bucks. Insane on that one.

    Guess I just wanted something like the Christmas Sale where you got stuff for unlocking things, or like in the last Summer Sale. This one by comparison just seems thrown together without any of the extra stuff I've come to expect from Steam.

    Despite being unemployed again, I couldn't buy shit even if I wanted to until I go and talk with my fucking bank Monday. I would be far less annoyed if they had called me and let me know what the hell was going on, but nooooo. That's too unreasonable. I had to find out when I try and pay for dinner for my family while in Chicago. Which is embarrassing as fuck. :|

    I had to call to find out that "due to a large amount of debit card fraud activity in the region we are restricting certain debit card transactions to PIN based use only." Which basically means I cant buy shit without using my Pin. And that is annoy as balls.

    Holy shit the same thing happened to me and its fucking mortifying. When I found out its because of some clerical bullshit on their side I went bat shit insane and they offered to get the meal comped by my bank.

    That just about covers how embarrassed I was.

    The entire Fear collection is just under $10. They're only putting 3 on the front page, so I thought I'd mention it.

    You should pick up Batman: Arkham Asylum/City now if you haven't already.

    There's a "Batman Franchise" pack for $25, though that apparently includes that "Gotham City Imposters" game. I have no idea what that's about or whether it's worth getting. I'd suggest getting the Arkham games individually, plus their DLC.

    The ArkCit Skin Pack is <3...

    [​IMG]

    Arkham City has never been more fun than playing as Sinestro Corps and BTAS Batman. I challenge you to disagree. D:

    Also: Gotham City Imposters looks kind of interesting... Perhaps DLP can replace the dying TF2 community with an GCI one. D: (Or not. I think theyve all move dont to LoL.)
