What if your game uses F12 (i.e. flight sims)?  Granted you can change the screenshot default key or maybe change F12 within the game itself,  but seems like this could be a minor pain in the ass.

from any game that uses the Steam overlay.

What is this defined as?

The RDR DLC is half off this week on Xbox Live.  OMGWTFBBQ ZOMBIES are 5 bucks!

Total Undead Pack (with all 3 DLCs) is 1000 points aka $12.50

Already sloppy seconds after Ceekay. 

Undead Nightmare for 5 bucks????!!!!!

SOLD!

Got in some BlOps and started a replay of Mass Effect. Vanguard this time on Veteran. Was a soldier on easy my first time on a different account.

Do ME saves transfer to other hard drives? I have a 250gb I want to get around to using.

Copy the save to a USB thumb stick.

I started RDR over and got in about 9 hours.

Just finished Shadow Broker.  IMHO....it was just OK.  I don't understand the rave reviews.

(And yes, I'm taking into account the fact I banged Liara again.)

Sorry, but Impulse is a Steam-wannabe joke.

I've had the BG&E HD on my PC for years now.

Yep....that trailer looks like the PC version.

Damn....the Overlord DLC is pretty darn spooky!

At least the DL speeds are back up now.

funny pic about the sale and download speeds (NSFW captions)

LOL....I actually tried the Ukraine server last night and got a whopping 67kbs.

just a friendly reminder that the deadline for the free upgrade to the Signature Edition is coming up on January 11th.

Just pre-ordered at Amazon.

[Spoiler]

Regarding that spoiler:

Spoiler for Hiden:

You can wait to go on the suicide mission. If you do, Kelly and your crew all die, except Chakwas I think. She gets all pissed about you being late, though. I saved Tali's loyalty mission to the end so I could bring Legion. Kinda funny bringing a live geth to the flotilla .

I did this my first playthrough and my crew all died.  I was trying to avoid that again. 

Dammit... I thought this was going to be about Freelancer.    To this day I confuse Freelancer and Freespace.

[Spoiler]

I just picked up the Lair of the Shadowguy DLC... and I'm going to get my second run through up... I think I'm going to play as evul(tm).  Anyone done that - how is the dialog?

It'll be interesting to see.

Just finished up my second playthrough as evil last night.  Shepard can be such a prick sometimes.  

Concerning Legion and the IFF....

Spoiler for Hiden:

This part of ME2 pissed me off a bit.  After acquiring Legion (the friendly Geth), you are only allowed to do one or two more missions of your choice before the Omega relay opens.  So....you really CAN'T (or shouldn't) wait to do Legion's loyalty mission.  After signing up Legion, I wanted to go do Overlord and Shadow Broker but then the Normandy was attacked and I was forced to finish up the main story line.

I'm still very lukewarm overall about this year's sale.  There were far too many daily deal games in the $20-30 range, where if they were $10-15 I would have been all over them.

I don't say any of the choices.  I say "Two Thousand Eleven" with no "and" in there.

This.  I can't stand when someone says Twenty Eleven.  Just doesn't sound right.

My vote is Mass Effect 2.  Totally sucked me in.  I can't think of any other game that I've kept paused so long agonizing over two choices in a dialogue box because I feared the repercussions.

Which choices were those?

Tonight my bass drum pedal for my ion kit finally broke on me.  Does anyone out there that uses the ion kit know of a good replacement that you use and recommend?

You want this.

I've had mine for two years now and it is phenomenal.

Anyone think $5 for Bioshock 2 is worthwhile?

Hell yes.

I just went and bought them, and it turns out that if you don't have enough points, it seems to let you purchase the exact amount that you need. 

I do not see this option at all.  I have 80 Bioware points.  Shadow Broker is 800.  Bioware's webpage is not giving me the option to purchase 720 points.  They want me to purchase 800 points.

$10 seemed a little high for Oblivion GOTY. I thought I paid around $5 for the Deluxe version during the last sale.

Same here.

[ME2]

Game of the year vote:  ME2

When ME2 debuted, I still had not played ME1.  So I finally sat my butt down and finished both games back to back.  50+ hours in ME1 and then 60+ hours in ME2.  What a fantastic ride.

I don't get the complaints about this sale. Almost every major game has gone on a daily sale at some point and, even if they haven't been, it seems like nearly every game on the service is discounted 10-25%.

Maybe it is just my perception, but it seems the past sales had better games at better prices overall.

Trying to decide if I should sell it or keep it. What would you guys do? Its a pretty neat controller

If you can make some decent cash off of it.....sell it.  Cause a year from now it is just not going to be relevant.

Dunno if its because I bought so many games last year but this STEAM sale has been really disappointing IMO. Allot of frankly second tier games and allot of stuff I've seen on sale multiple times before. I spent over $100 last year but am sitting at only $7.50 spent so far. 

I agree.  Hell....even the summer sale was 10x better than most of this shit.

[Disappointed in the hot factor of Oliva Wilde, she was just plain looking.]

saw this last night.

I like it, story was quite weak, but the special effects were cool, as well as the 3D.  Disappointed in the hot factor of Oliva Wilde, she was just plain looking.

might be time to get your glasses checked (or get some if you don't)

This.  She was WAY bangin'.  I have overheard three separate chicks at work say they are getting her haircut from the movie.

100% sitting today out.

What type of game is King's Bounty?  Any good?

second chance sale BOO  !  give us new stuff!

No shit.  That's pretty weak of them at this stage.

[The Writer]

The Writer and The Signal DLC are both 200 points each for today(Christmas Eve) only

Damn....I wish I would have seen this yesterday.

Steam has the Season on sale for $22.49 (10% off).

Is Railworks 2 worth 6 bucks?

Im using a Linksys WRT54GL for my 360 and wife's iPod and my PSP.

This.  Put on either Tomato or DDWRT firmware.

 I'm curious if it's so pricey because of the new one in theaters?

That would be my guess.  I picked up the 20th Anniversary edition back in the spring for $4.25.

Picked up Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light for only $3.60.  Steam gave me a further discount from the $5.10 sale price because I already owned another Tomb Raider game.

I got the witcher on steam just to not have to mess with the whole patch process.

I did the same.
