Although discussion of modern platforms/software will most likely dominate, discussion of classic videogame/computer hardware and software is always enjoyable, and certainly welcome - ESPECIALLY since there are public domain/shareware emulators of nearly every older computer/console available these days.

Steam Holiday Deals
Some excellent sales going on during this:
http://store.steampowered.com/holidaysale
Portal and BioShock for $5 are some of the highlights, but I grabbed Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Half-Life: Opposing Force, and Half-Life: Blue Shift for a grand total of $3.96, 99 cents each. Played Opposing Force for a couple hours and it's just awesome, I always wanted to try it and for 99 cents you can't go wrong.
Also, TF2 for $10 and Audiosurf for $5.

Re: Steam Holiday Deals
Excellent find. Amazing.
You know, this thread and others like this are inspiring me to start a thread in the game vault about excellent deals on games.

Re: Steam Holiday Deals
Okay, I just grabbed Reaxxion for 99 cents too. Game is awesome as hell. Anyone who mentioned Super DX Ball in my "Games You Can Play With One Hand" thread owed it to themselves to try this game out. They've got a demo that you can install in seconds, so give it a shot.

I wrote this about it the other day:
My most played game of the year. Plug in any song you have, and ride the waves to it's beat, collecting colored "cars" and making matches with your favorite character, all while cruising along a psychedelic rollercoaster. Every song is a new experience, and each character has very different strengths and weaknesses. If you dig music and want to see what it would feel like to speed along the crescendo of your favorite song, this is the game for you.
If that sounds like a good time to you, buy it. If it doesn't, don't.

Good man.
I recommend the "Pusher" character, but give them all a shot. "Mono" characters are also fun if you're just starting out.
Hope you enjoy it.

Really can't resist it for only $5. Normally I'd be wiping my asshole with $5 but might as well buy a game with it.

Re: Steam Holiday Deals
Just brought Audiosurf through Steam too. It was only 3 quid! What's your favorite genre of music to play through? Mine would have to be drum and bass - not just because I'm well into it already - but because when you hit the drop it's INSANE!
- for those interested in trying dnb, drop Chase and Status' Smash TV. If you can't find it online, let me know and I'll host it.
Any dance music is good though - Prodigy ftw! Still, I tried Little Green Bag from the Reservoir Doggs soundtrack and it was ridiculously slow.

Re: Steam Holiday Deals
I've cleaned up in this sale.
Left 4 Dead, Beyond Good & Evil, Bioshock, Trials 2 and Outrun 2006. Grabbed Jade Empire too as it was the only Bioware game I hadn't got around to playing.
The godly bargains were Bioshock for under £4 and Trials 2 for £1.49. Mental.
Good times.

Well shit, that's cooler than Foreigner if it was still before 1983.

Yeah, well I paid $65 for BioShock 6 months ago (for one of my consoles, granted).
