My library has swelled by almost 100 games. There are some insanely good deals atm - the Eidos anthology contains 34 games including solid games like DE:HR, and classics like legacy of kain.
I haven't looked at Valkyria Chronicles. Maybe I should do that. EDIT: Welp, it's -ú3. Mine.
@Ghost - if you like Homeworld, check out Sins of a Solar Empire. I prefer it over Homeworld, personally.
Sins had great reviews, I got it but never got into it. RTS is not my thing really. I'm much more a turn-based fellow. Endless Space I really liked, and anything Civ related I always have a soft spot for. Civ 5 is excellent. Civ : Beyond Earth....not different enough to justify the cost really...it has some new elements but when I play it, it makes me *want* to play Civ 5. Pretty damning I think.
I did actually just today complete a 2nd full play through of Beyond Earth and the Polynesians smashed my face in inside around eight turns after I spent too long defending against another Civ and not expanding.
Wife and I have also been playing The Elder Scrolls Online quite a bit - that's quite nicely polished now, since a bug-riddled beta. They also removed the subscription payment model so we both went for it when they invited beta testers back a few months ago.
Finally: if you like the 4x space genre, I would suggest the best one is probably Distant Worlds Universe. Not had it that long, but there defintely is not a better one for that style of game...can't say right now how much better it may be than others of its ilk but the depth is incredible.

What I've never understood is the "Summer Sale" maybe I am weak and oldGǪ or maybe because I live in a ridiculously hot region for summer time, the last thing I want to do is sit near my computer that is raising the temperature by 10-¦ c or moreGǪ I mean there is rum and shenanigans to be had out there in the world.
TL;DR Less gaming in the summer for me. More drunken mischiefGǪ or arguments at least.

Yeah I screwed around with the server settings but nothing seemed to work. We're talking around 9pm - 11pm EVE time yesterday (Friday)...that is surely peak hours for both EU and US. Switching to US server didn't make any difference.
I suppose it's possible that time is a lull...UK where I am it may be peak (10 - midnight) but now I think about it, most of the rest of the EU is at least one hour ahead. And US...well that's 5pm - 7pm Eastern so maybe they're not quite ready to play at this time, and even if they are, that's *just* the east coast. Everyone else is still at work or commuting I imagine. Hmmm that sux.
YO CCP GET YOUR ASSES PLAYING THIS GAME DURING 9PM - 11PM UTC ON A FRIDAY NIGHT! THERE's ENOUGH OF YOU TO FILL A BATTLE! |

Don't know about the hype - like you I only noticed it was on...but I do log into Steam daily.
The discounts can be huge, and there are lots of titles. Just look out for those ****** companies that jack their prices just before the discount. I heard that was happening with some games for this sale. I thought they were legally bound to state what last week's price was or something...I think supermarkets here have to do that now. Anyway doesn't matter to me - if the price is right, come on download (sorry).
Other places I've noticed it's the same games and similar discounts. |

Oh meant to say - isn't it the case that if your server is set to automatic, it will find you a battle on any server where there's a match? Or do I have that wrong. That might explain last time I squadded and I was squad lead, and I said I'd been having long queuing times so we might be in for a way. Gave squad lead to a guy in the US, and BAMM, instant battle. |

 That sucks.
I just had a very fun, close match that definitely looked like the teams were made up of solo randoms.
Were you playing Ambush, per chance? Ambush is a mode that will never be balanced, in my opinion. You should stick to other modes - especially Skirmish - if you want balanced matches.

I'm under the impression that "automatic" pairs players by latency and/or geographic region automatically (rather than by match availability). Could be wrong though :-)

Red Dead Redemption is in my top 5 games and was my first online multiplayer experience. A surprise ending to the story that I won't spoil and enjoyable sand box play, beautiful scenery.
It's a great game that you don't hear about much for reasons I never understood. Enjoy!

Fun Fact:
Ares 514 used to absolutely terrify me when I was a wee nooblet. I joined his corp a little over 2 months after I was created. I remember how a cold sweat spread over me when I saw he had invited me to his squad. He then proceeded to go 40/2 or something like that in a Dom. I was like 'Dayummm...'

I can confirm yesterday was Solo Day.
Everytime I tried to squad with DAAA BEAST, I would DC. It is weird, because I squadded with deadcatz and Jarin earlier and no DC. My PS3 don't want me to squad with my corp. My PS3 is a bastard, he should've been transcribed on our wall with me.

Lmao.
Changing gear, any of you guys play the original Ghost Recon? Maps were open. Approaches varied. Enemies were tough to spot and all crack shots. Dying over and over again was expected. This Ghost Recon isn't like that. It's really pretty, but it's also pretty damn linear. Irritatingly so. And way too easy. Still worth $10 though.

Thanks for the fun fact. I find these days I die a lot more. Back in my dual SMG assault days I had some fun. These days I really wonder why I punish myself in the scout suit. Personally I think assaults are a tad too much better but I still have fun.

I'm fairly sure I'll skill min commando next. Came in at the end of a PC to replace someone lagging and they were yelling for AV on an outside point to fight two ADS. First spawn I was murdered by one of them before I could even get a lock with my swarms. Second and third spawns I went down to infantry hunting the swarm user. Managed to take out one ADS but didn't get the kill.
It was sad though, my scout swarm fit had a bolt pistol since usually I try to stay at range but the infantry had us at disadvantage and they got on me really quick plus hilly so hard to shot them in advance. So I was jumping around dodging like a maniac and it took the guy forever to kill me. If I'd had an SMG or a bit more hp he would have been an easy kill.
Hence a min commando for outside points would be really handy on this scenerio I believe. Thoughts? Fitting recommendations? I know commandos are probably getting another slot but I heard someone say min commando bonus may be changing? Haven't seen that anywhere personally.

They are worthless. They stand out in the open when being shot, when I tell them to go somewhere to get out of my way, they decide I am telling them to make sure that there isn't anyone there, and then come pester me while I snipe people by firing their pistol in my ear. Because, you know, that is effective.
Occasionally one of their errant shots hits something.
At least they provide good banter.

Haven't heard anything about the Minmando getting a different bonus (?). Have heard that +1 slot is on the table; also, wouldn't be surprised if Commandos also got a small boost in speed. As for Minmando fittings / tactics, I had a blast (albeit, in pubs) getting an uplink into an elevated position with a throw-away scout, then respawning on it with a Minmando + CR + Swarms. For this kind of a AV overwatch, I ran damage amps in highs, reactives in lows and a hive.

I played ME 2 and 3, but haven't had the chance to play 1. Companion AI must get better later in the series; I don't remember being annoyed by them. Found companions and Fallout and Skyrim to be annoying at times; always quick to get between me and my target just as I pull the trigger or release an arrow (or fireball). Lol.
