I believe if you look back in this thread, you'll find that the last time this game was on sale, a bunch of us bought it and decided that the game is pretty bad.

No kidding. How are we supposed to resist 18 Wheels of Steel American Long Haul? Just in case future scholars are wondering why I mentioned that game, it happened to be on sale the day of this posting.
I respectfully disagree. I bought it today and played it for about an hour and was having a grand ol' time. Playing it for too long kinda messes with your eyes, though.
I gotta pre-order i gotta pre-order i gotta pre-order....
Fuuuuuuuu need to rapidly build up cash.
I have a terrible choice to make. Either: Pre order Dirt 3 or Buy an arduino mega or Buy a servo, airsoft gun, and other misc parts for my arduino turret.
I would go with one of the Arduino choices. Video games are awesome, and I'll never stop playing them, but you can easily achieve 90% of the satisfaction gained from playing an awesome new game by playing an awesome old game that you never had the chance to. There's no easy substitute for the Arduino stuff.
Get the 'Duino. I spent money on backpacking gear instead of Portal 2 a while pack. Still don't have Portal 2 (and I still want it), but I have a $200+ Osprey Atmos 65 that I got on a ridiculous sale and will last my entire life.
Sometimes hard purchase decisions aren't really as hard as they seem.
I grabbed some of these back in December: The Forgotten Sands is not bad; I do recommend it. Yahtzee wasn't the biggest fan, but it's still pretty fun - Definitely worth it for $US6.79. "Prince of Persia" is bad. The Sands of Time was a great game on consoles, but it doesn't work with the Xbox 360 controller and it has some weird graphical bugs.
In Gabe Newell's continued effort to slowly bleed our bank accounts dry, Uplink is £2 and is only a 16MB download (I heard you can fit that on 4 of those new floppy discs they've got coming out.).
Goddamnit, I am SO on the fence about Frozen Synapse.
Do you have another game you also want? Are you actually bored and don't have any games to play?
I realized one great thing about Steam. While it entices you to buy all these new games, it also gives you the best reason not to buy new games. Counter-Strike is the only game you really need. Turn it on, and it will carry you until whatever game you were thinking about isn't on sale anymore.

That's true. I have this massive library of games to get through. I'll tackle those first. I've also been getting into MOO2, which is the best time-suck ever.

Counter-Strike isn't really the game of choice if I want to Play something. If I go to play CS:S with my rusty skills I'll spend 80% of my time dead waiting for the next round.

For that I learned from friends of mine and used the Steams categorization option to mark what games I'm currently playing and what are on the todo-list. And there shall be no touching to todo-lists games until the games I'm currently playing are done.

That's why I play TF2. (Well, that and I never really played competative FPS games before, so a Babby's First FPS game fits me well.)
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is a fun tactical shooter, though the storyline is dumb as all get out. It's definitely worth $4. The first Vegas is pretty terrible by comparison. The storyline is even more wacko and there's an extended sequence where you are on your own against a small army of people armed with shotguns, and all you have is your pistol and a shotgun of your own once you pick it off a fallen enemy. Maybe it seemed really awesome when it first came out but having played 2 first, I really wish I hadn't bothered with the original.

Some days I look at steam and all I can see is that old Gypsy from Thinner and my wallet just ran over his wife.
