I'm having trouble with the force a pilot to eject achievement from Albion Prelude. I forced one to eject and nothing happened, I went to the achievement list and there isn't even one for that at all. The closest one is "force a pilot to eject with at least 10000 credits".

Any ideas?

Edit: Had to do it again, first time must have been an anomaly. Did it with a terran char second time around.

I recently ordered it for about $9 on sale, causing the current sale of $7.49 on Steam.

Excellent. Hey, can you buy Skryrim for the current $40 sale price? I would really like to buy it for about $5-10 cheaper in a few weeks.

Hard Reset is absolutely worth $5. For the love of everything, please buy it.

Great recommendation. Bought it and loving it. Just played for 3 hours.

Got to love a small-time development house that can make a great game with absolutely no bugs so far. Loving the Serious Sam style of secrets.

Only complaint is the save game method.

Well, looks like it's happened. MW3 for $45... Do I want to?

I LOVED MW2, but damn that thing is short at <10 hours. Amazing 10 hours, but $45 for 10 hours, I don't know. It probably won't see <$30 for at least half a year. Cheap bastard...

Edit: Just googled, it's a 6-7 hour long campaign with beaucoup cinematics (in-game, I guess). Shite, think I'll hold off.

Fallout 3 + FLC for $5 - I have them all, but not on Steam.

Ducktales for NES was one of my favorite games ever, and that takes about 1.5 hours to finish.

It was $50 new for quite some time. Little to no sales in those days.

and that was a very popular game.



.....perspective.

X3 seems like a genre that would interest me. Plus it has an achievement. Would appreciate any opinions on it.

X3 is awesome if you like space sim/economy games.

i bought it for $5 on a previous sale, put maybe 80 hours into it and have only finished about 2 main missions while spending my time creating my space burger and ore empire.

fun stuff...if you're into that sort of thing.

which reminds me, I need to grab that expansion. the new one might be a must have for me...

While I understand where you're coming from, I'm not sure if I would consider them a small-time development house, because the studio is made up of people from other studios that you've certainly heard of. :p

Was able to do it easy in multiplayer. Got an assassin's creed deluxe 50% off. Maybe that will come in handy if I don't get it during a daily deal and get it later, does anyone know if by chance these things are on daily deal after christmas, will they work?...I keep not even getting coals, now I have valve 50, valve golden 50, garry's mod 75, gemini rue 50(on my wish list so if I dont get during christmas maybe later), and meridian 4 33%.

The "regular" coupons are only good after the holiday sales end and through March 1 (I think).

The valve golden 50 coupon is good right now...so if there is a valve game on sale during the Holiday Sale you get 50% off that price too.

Assassins Creed Deluxe is my #1 wish right now....so I'm hoping it goes on sale soon!

I have every Valve game except one or two I don't want.
What I'm wondering is, these normal coupons are good from Jan 2 to Mar 1. If a game comes up on Daily Deal again in that time, will these stack? It doesn't say that they don't...it only says they can't be used in Christmas sale.

If not, then only if the regular list price goes down would it make any sense to ever use them, otherwise it's better to just go ahead and get during this sale.

Seems the Steam servers are getting overloaded right now. Very slow browsing the store with pages frequently not displaying correct. I've tried several times now to purchase FO3 and every time I get some sort of error in the transaction process that kicks me back to the beginning.

Steam why won't you let me give you money??? Do you not like money??

The bad news is, I didn't get it, so don't expect that real soon.

The good news is, I'm planning to get it at $35-30, so watch for $25-20 soon after.

Kinda like how I waited for Deus ex to hit $30, and right after it's $10, or I bought HoMM VI at $26 and right after the deluxe edition was $20, or Tropico for $16 was $5 right after etc.

Agreed. Today is actually a pretty good day. I'm tempted to pick up Bulletstorm for that price.

Also, Sonic Generations for 10 bucks, that's pretty sweet.

Bah! Paid $15 for Sonic at Amazon a couple of days ago.

Same here. I had a feeling that it would be on sale on Steam, but since it's recent, I had no idea if it would be 50% or less (which would make it just as good of a deal or worse).
