TBH I forgot it was originally free until I was halfway through checking out. And then I was like, lol whatever it's only $2.50.
Human Revolution is an option for the next vote. I know it's been a flash sale before, but the other two were both on sale before too, so that doesn't really matter. I hope it wins, both because it would be the most discounted and because it's the best game of the three.
^I voted for the same reasons you did.
Though Valve is trolling with this one.
It'd be hilarious is MW3 won.
goddammit why can't I buy Steam games
Skyrim won
I mean, Skyrim's good and all, but HR is better and would have been cheaper.
Dude, the Skyrim hype-train isn't stopping for quite a while.
The best part is it was a daily deal a few days ago anyways.

Not that great of a line up for the daily deals IMO.
Ooh, SpecOps: The Line.
I really want to get it, but...not sure I want to spend that much money right now
FYI, it's all of GTA that's 75% off, not just IV, so that's good at least. And Spec Ops looks tempting, even only 33% off.
I'd pick up the Double Fine bundle, but I already played through Stacking, and I get the feeling I wouldn't be able to run Psychonauts.
^Psychonauts runs just fine on my cruddy laptop, so...
Psychonauts is like seven years old, though.
Yeah, and it wasn't exactly state-of-the-art then either, graphics-wise.
That doesn't make it necessarily optimized, though.
^^^,^^ Then again, my computer can't run Max Payne, which is 11 years old.
I'm wondering whether my computer will be able to run Ys Origin. Haven't tried it yet.
^ I don't see why it would not. It runs on average at 30 fps, with a minimum of 15 and a peak of 60 at 1280x800 on my cruddy laptop on average with vsync on and details turned up.
Yeah, my laptop is also about 6 years old, and not built for gaming in the first place.
For a sense of scale, it'll hitch regularly on Rainslick Precipice, which was very graphically simple and optimized quite well. I can barely get overkills for Gabe in the second game because the frames to line up more than about half the arrows don't exist.
Is the Unreal engine less optimized than the Source engine?
My laptop (like Bee's, not built for gaming) is about 2-and-a-half years old, and it can barely run Team Fortress 2 at a decent framerate. Can't run Psychonauts, can't run Portal 2, can't run Civ 5, nada.
I have no clue which is better optimized, mainly because there is no real base line to test.
I have a cheapo laptop about a year and a half old; it can run TF2 (with some choppiness), but can't run Hydrophobia or Sanctum or Moonbase Alpha. Explodemon runs with some lag.
SteamGifts.com's commenting just stopped working for me. I click a "Reply" link but the page just reloads.
The drop-down menus at the top are also broken for some reason; I click them and all that happens is that the page just reloads.
I restarted my browser and it's still broken.
It's a browser issue apparently; it works fine in Opera.
Currently, Railworks 3: Train Simulator 2012 is 90% off, I think. And so is a bunch of its DLC.
As a consequence, there are also a METRIC FUCKTON of Railworks and Railworks DLC giveaways on SteamGifts.com.
Keep in mind this game is quite DLC-heavy. By that I mean the cost of the game and all DLC, base list price, is over US$1000.
A guy I knew in highschool is probably jumping for joy about that right now.
