I've read many people have trouble during sales due to multiple purchases every day  sweat.gif

Why not use Steam wallet instead, can using the card too many time and cause issue
*
Not much issues on my end - I did received a bank verification call when I was doing the transaction in Amazon but otherwise, all good.

Any other benefits in using Steam wallet?

too bad walking dead cant go until 75% if not buy edi sad.gif

It is a new game (April 2012?) and it contains 2 currently available episodes and 3 future episodes in one pack. I think -40% is a very generous deal already, especially how much raving reviews this game is getting smile.gif

I believe the fun part of playing adventuring games like this is the waiting of next episodes.

IMHO if it is an option, I would rather have it in hand straight than to wait indefinitely for it. I hate waiting and not knowing when the next episode will be out.

Wow, they actually mail out the physical copy of Shogun 2 for RM9.90? That's really cheap.

Guys want to ask. THe shogun 2 on youbeli can activate on steam?

also, walking dead good game? I liked Jurassic Park although it got bad reviews. Does the 14usd comes with full season 1 or just episode 1 and 2?
*
Think some guys mentioned already, Shogun 2 is a Steamworks game - you will have to activate it in Steam thus yes, Steam-activation.

Walking Dead have tons of rave reviews so far, some again, are the LYN kakis here. The pricing comes for the 5 episodes (2 ready/released and 3 more to come).

Hmm, I definitely broke the USD100 line - didn't expect to spend initially. I got poisoned too much by the 'terclick' trend here. Will post damage report when I reach home, don't have the full chart in office.

I am looking at the SR3 franchise pack now; will wait till tonight to decide if I will find uncle Deimos to do this last damage for me. Unless Skyrim goes -75% (which I doubt so), that's the end of Summer sale for me biggrin.gif

better act soon.. sometime steam might correct the price one as the franchise pack is lower than the base game which doesn make sense.. happen to me on the stalker daily deal..

Had tried the ?cc=au previously on my friend's mobile but when I was trying to check out, it hanged with a message "bla bla bla unable to proceed, please wait a minute or contact our support bla bla bla". Considering this as a sign for me to wait till after work and do this at home instead brows.gif If still cannot do so at home later, haha, I will find the high priest for his service.

Think you and I gotten the Plentiful and something pack from Amazon right? Have you started on Crusader Kings 2?

@Cheese: YGPM!

@Hahantu: Depending on what games you getting, you can try the usual legs here to buy games from Steam; talexeh, Deimos, etc. Find them in the previous pages, they are always around.

Haha, I started up also but lost in the many things to do. Will be playing the tutorial later to understand the gameplay properly.

*I was trying to poison my friend into buying the packs; no much luck, haha.

Will get the Sword of Islam DLC if Steam encore comes up with the Crusader series again too. The reddits/wikia said the DLC added new gameplay stuff into the game compared to the other DLCs.

Talexeh will overrun you with non-stop praises, Tube videos, pictures, and reviews till you buy the game.

In short, it is a good (great for most especially Talexeh) and fun as well. Definitely worth the price on Steam now smile.gif

Hmm, not as bad as I thought but still way over the plan in mind:

12.49 /// 39.78 Plentiful Paradox Package (Amazon)
7.49 /// 23.86 Pint Sized Paradox (Amazon)
14.99 /// 47.74 Deus Ex Collection
11.25 /// 35.82 Orcs Must Die 2 Pre-Order
7.49 /// 23.86 EU III Chronicles
2.25 /// 7.17 Binding of Isaac Bundle
2.49 /// 7.93 Star Wars: KOTOR
3.74 /// 11.91 Trine 2
4.48 /// 14.27 Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes + I am the Boss DLC
12.49 /// 39.78 Total War Megapack
4.99 /// 15.89 Sins: Trinity
4.99 /// 15.89 Galactic Civ. 2 Ultimate Edition
4.99 /// 15.89 Oblivion GOTY
9.79 /// 31.18 SR3: Franchise Pack

103.92 /// 330.97

*Resisted/missed out on Sword of Islam, Last Remnant (GMG), Ys series, CoH series, and the Bethesda pack. Happy to report though that I have completed Trine 2 a few days back and in the middle of M&M: Clash of Heroes. Backlogs, beware - I am here to clear you all up.

can still clear your backlog.. my backlog is seemingly impossible now  sweat.gif

Haha, no choice - I keep telling myself; I am buying games cause I want to play them. If I don't clear enough games by winter, I won't be buying any new games - and I know that there is at least two games that I want around that time; Borderlands 2 and Skyrim+DLC (if any) sweat.gif

*Saddest thing is, lol, I have planned to spend for the Bethesda pack this summer and get Skyrim. In the end? Minimally 10+ new games and still no Skyrim!!! Really Fus Ros Dah!

I also realized that a lot of us bought RPGs too, haha, didn't know that we have such a big group of RPG lovers here in LYN.
