You know what to do.
Great. Right in the time I can't scam my parents for money.
Aw man, Arma II is $24 bucks now... tempting.. I really want to try out the DayZ mod.

Was thinking the same thing. I'm just worried that I'll be like "wow, this really isnt what I was expecting" when I try it.

Not sure how accurate it is, but a leaked list of the sales can be found HERE (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-07-09-steams-summer-sale-list-leaked)
I bought the Worms Complete Pack. Here are my thoughts on these games.
Worms Pinball: Pretty nice pinball game. The table has a decent amount of content. However, it feels like the ball is made of styrofoam, and the 'shoot again' doesn't last long enough. 5 seconds, really?
Worms Blast: A good puzzle game, reminds me of Snood. The tutorial was longer than it should of been.
Worms Crazy Golf: I haven't tried it yet, but it has good reviews.
Worms Reloaded: From what I've seen, a bit too similar to the other Worms titles. It's practically Worms 2: Armageddon. It's good, though.
Worms Ultimate Mayhem: I haven't tried this yet, either, but I do know that it's basically Worms 3D and Worms 4 Mayhem in one package, with some additional features. Worms 4 Mayhem is by far my favorite Worms game (despite it being 3D), so I'm expecting to like this one.
Worms: Finally, I get the chance to play the game that started it all. The game plays well, like the later Worms games, and the AI is quite impressive, maybe a bit too impressive. I don't know how to do backflips and set the timer for grenades. Can someone tell me?

Double tap backspace to backflip.

I've just tried that and absolutely nothing happened. Even after several attempts my worm just sat there and did nothing.
I've discovered how to set the fuse for grenades, though (the number keys).
EDIT: Apparently you can worm select by pressing Tab, with Worm Select activated. I made sure that Worm Select is enabled in the options, but this button doesn't appear to do anything either. It's like half of the controls don't work or something.

I want to try dayz as well
day z is pretty cool just watch out because like you think people would act in a real zombie apocalypse doesn't really happen alot. When a average person sees you they dont think "is it possible we could be friends and work together" they think "dayum hes got a revolver and i dont, what do i have to lose? ill try to kill him and if i die i could always just start over". All of my experiences where i try to be the nice guy i get shot up, so its best to not play alone and instead with a friend.
Bought l4d2 and Borderlands.
No regrets.
I did get L.A. Noire and it's DLC. I have been meaning to play it for a while, but at less then $10 for the lot I couldn't pass up the offer.
I've come to the conclusion that you can't backflip in the classic Worms.
How do you rotate a girder? Geez, this game needs a controls manual or something...
Decided to buy Arma II: Combined Operations for the Day Z mod, and I don't regret it one bit. This game is amazing, especially considering it's still in beta. It is hands down one of the more difficult games I have ever played, let alone the best zombie apocalypse simulator I've tried to date. The game starts you out with no weapons, and no tutorial, with only your common sense to lead you. Needless to say the difficulty curve is quite steep, your initial lives are more learning experiences than serious attempts at survival.
So far my interaction with other players has been minimal and mostly negative; my fault entirely. After several deaths I finally found my first gun and was super excited, so when I saw a player for the first time I had the wonderful idea of taking potshots at him. He cursed at me through the ingame voice chat, then filled me with holes. In my next life I was pretty set on equipment and suddenly noticed a player running along the road in front of me, so I decided to chase after him with some kind of idea of possible friendship in mind. He turned around, saw me running towards him, and blasted my legs with SMG rounds. I spent the next three hours of gameplay crawling around with a broken leg stubbornly refusing to commity suicide by zombie, until I finally died of starvation.
Just yesterday I had recently started a new life when I saw a player running towards me, axe in hand, with a tail of zombies behind him. The crazy douchebag chased me into a barn, leading the zombies inside too. As I retreated up the stairs he charged up at me, and I attempted to jump down onto the floor... for this action I was awarded with a broken leg, then unconsciousness as my head smacked the floor. I woke up to zombies feeding on me, and my last glimpse of life was his axe falling down on me.
So, yeah, moral to my experiences with other players, avoid them if possible. On that note however, playing this game with a friend is ideal, as the best way to gain health back (blood) is to receive a blood transfusion from another player. A solo players only hope to regain blood is to gather up all of the materials to gather and cook meat from wild animals, which is not so easy a task.

I had UStream going for several hours last night while Jake played a very poor back-seat gamer, and while he was planning to buy it eventually, him watching me was enough to pressure him into getting the game. I highly
highly recommend it. Luci, you and me, tonight, let's do this!
Is L.A. Noire worth buying it? Is it worth the support? If not, I'll just use some magical wispy dust I have left from last Christmas to obtain it :)

it's funny. Your lifespan went from about 2 minutes, to 2 hours once I started watching and giving tips. No need to thank me.

Yeah, I just did the exact opposite of whatever you told me, so I guess I should thank you.
