Bastion is awesome.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see you already bought Oblivion. Great choice! I've probably lost a thousand hours to that game. You definitely got your money's worth there. :)

Half-Life 1 isn't just a good game to buy, it's a game you simply must buy; a classic work of the ages. It really is that good, and the proof of this is that the gameplay completely holds up even today. The graphics aren't going to thrill you, but they totally work as far as creating an interesting atmosphere that's fun to wander around in. The game is lengthy, extremely diverse, has great puzzles and combat, and incredibly awesome multiplayer to boot.

Just be sure you play the original Half-Life 1 and not the crummy remake, Half-Life: Source. It was supposed to be an upgraded "HD" version of the original game, but all they did was copy and paste the game into the new engine with some hideous "advanced" water effects and cheap ragdoll physics. Which would have been okay, had they not completely broken the controls and most of the weapons.

You might want to have a look at the Valve Complete Pack on Steam. It's on sale today only for just $50 - not a bad price for about a dozen of the best FPS games ever created and then some. That'll also get you the Opposing Force expansion pack for Half-Life 1, which is every bit worth playing as the original.

TL;DR: Yes! Buy it! :D

Why don't you go outside and run around, play some basketball, swim in the pool/lake/ocean? Start eating healthy and go to the gym. Spend more time with your family and friends. Go camping, go to a national park for a day or more. Try cannabis.

In all seriousness, your the one who makes your life interesting or boring. Video games are fun, but they cannot substitute for the mental and physical stimulation your body needs by going outside and doing things.

If you think your life is boring or bland, think about the millions who cannot play video games, have to work since they were kids, live in extreme poverty, live with warfare and loss of family at a young age, those who probably wont ever live past 6. You honestly have a chance to do something in your life that unfortunately many others dont have. If you put everything into perspective youll realize all your "problems" are very petty.

Exactly. Pure poetry and 100% truth. I wouldn't tell you a single thing differently.

Also, here's a really interesting video I watched recently that might help. I know it really hit home with me.

Alternatively, you could buy the entire PopCap collection on Steam. Then you'd feel downright euphoric for the rest of your life. :D

Duke Nukem Forever on Unreal Engine 1.

My only missed purchase was Transformers: War for Cybertron. Gonna be keeping a sharp eye out for that one now.

Everything else I wanted to buy but didn't was because it wasn't discounted enough. Overall though, I ended up getting a lot more than everything I wanted. Definitely no complaints from me. :)

Except, of course, just one: I'll miss you, summer seal. :(

I really think that people are viewing DS1 and DS2 with rose-colored glasses here. I seem to recall both of those games being extremely straightforward, roam-around-and-kill things, loot gobbling madness. Somehow, I seem to have missed out on whatever "complexity" or "depth" these games had, and I seem to remember them as being EXACTLY simple and repetitive. In fact, I believe that was EXACTLY the point. That's why they were so much fun. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't make sense to bemoan a lack of depth and complexity in a series or genre than never had it in the first place.

Heads up, the GamersGate version can be activated on Steam. Just did it myself. ;)

[QUOTE="boybrushdred"] according to the TF2 Free-toplay FAQ, those who paid for the game will get a hat

Meh. :roll:

I know what I'm about to say is controversial, but screw that game. Srsly.
