    Yeah there are some crazy prices on things. The only thing I'm hoping for is a rock bottom price on Fallout New Vegas.

    The christmas sale is usually full of decent/good games for super cheap.

    Don't laugh but off the top of my head I'm hoping for some deals on Counter Strike:Source, Team Fortress 2, Doom 3 and RoE, Test Drive Unlimited 2, BFBC 2: Vietnam...

    I don't know why, it's just what I am in the mood to play or try.

    I dunno, iirc, it was like $30 over Thanksgiving. If it's that price again, I'll probably buy it, preferably $25 or less.

    I'm just surprised at the number of people that still don't own TF2. I mean who doesn't own the orange box? heck, I think TF2 has been on sale for less than $5 on numerous occasions too. And same thing with L4D2. Granted it hasn't been as cheap, but it's been reduced quite a bit a few times, and since its so popular I figured most people would already own it.

    having played magic the gathering for years, I have to say that this online version of game is pretty bad because u cannot change the cards in ur decks, however if u want to learn how to play it then it might be an idea.

    I like it better than Magic Online or the real card game for the simple fact that I get a bunch of cards for cheap and don't really have to buy more (aside from the expansion) to be competitive online. My biggest problem with Magic has always been that it favors the wallet over the mind.

    I'm checking my progress on Steam for the Treasure Hunt and the objectives are not that bad. I have 5 so far. Good thing Steam counts them retroactively. I gave a gift to a buddy a while ago and it counted.

    Hopefully the next 3 days allow me to complete 5 more objectives for free, because I'm not buying anything solely for an objective. Now, if they give a nice deal on one of the games I want, that's a different story.

    How is everyone else doing with the contest?

    Cool. If I make it to 9 I'll be OK, since there is always this objective I've been avoiding that requires you to play some demo.

    Just a heads up, steam has Metro 2033 on sale for $9.99 and Just Cause 2 on sale for $7.49. Keep a watchful eye, they will be having tons of deals all the way through Christmas. Last year I got a bunch of games for 75% off around Dec 22nd.
