Oh Steam, why do you do this to me? I was just about to start working through some of my console backlog, but no, you had to come with another amazing sale including The Walking Dead.
Head on over to Steam – the sales are insane. Here are some that if you haven’t played you absolutely have to:
- Sleeping Dogs = $4.99
- Skyrim = $7.49
- Terraria = $2.49
- The Walking Dead = $6.24
I finished playing Sleeping Dogs this weekend. Such an awesome game. If you haven’t played it, you really need to. It’s fantastic.
There are also flash sales every eight hours, including Gone Home for $4.99. Personally, I’m going to be picking up The Walking Dead because I really need to play it already and at six bucks I can’t say no. I also might finally make my wish list happy and get Prison Architect for $14.99.
You see, kids, this is how a Steam backlog happens. I need all these games, even if I don’t have time to play the awesome Steam games that I already have. Oh well, one day I’ll have time at least I’ll have tons of games to play. Right?

Hi. My name is Sargon.
It’s been thirteen hours since my last game of DotA.
I’ve struggled to get here, really. Every single time Steam opens, I hear the call of heroes rallying to end the life of Roshan. I stand firm, but every so often, I join them. Even in my sleep, I join them. I don’t know how I’ll make another hour with Roshan waiting. Patiently. For the Dire! For the Radiant!

November 29, 2013 at 08:50

Oh no you mistake my comment, I’ve had a line on order for 2 years now (not kidding, November 1 2011) and while they’ve upgraded lines, made VDSL available in the area, they haven’t touched their exchange boxes, because there’s no space on it for them to install a line. Apparently. Yes, I phone once a month to confirm.
Matthew Holliday
November 28, 2013 at 13:19
yeah the exchanges are a problem here aswell, I cant sync higher than 4mb and my ping goes through… phases…
2 years sounds unreasonable though, you would assume that after 2 years of having a full exchange, they would extend it.

sleeping dogs was free on playstation plus and was on special last summer on steam.
walking dead also a repeat.
skyrim aswell, but cheaper this season.

well they cant unretire CoD 4 again…
wasnt a fan of the blops series, I was always a Modern Warfare baby, 3 would have been great if it wasnt so hackable, the game handled so well, the maps were just boring as hell.
if Modern warfare 2 had proper servers, that game would have been amazing, coming from competitive CoD 4, to playing casual MW2, was so much fun.
Im finding battlefield 4 a much more satisfying game lately though, getting the Ace squad ribbon in a round is so much more satisfying than having a 35-1 run in CoD.
