Weird. Just Cause 2 requires a graphics card with DirectX 10, but I can run the demo on my video card, which doesn't support DirectX 10. Does anybody know why this is?
EDIT: After doing some poking around, it appears that I have a Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card, which can run DirectX 11! Goodness, I thought I was WAY underpowered when it came to hardware! I guess it's time to indulge myself!

I setup an account on GOG now, Tyrian 2000 looks pretty good. And it seems I also got 3 other games for free, Beneath an Steel Sky, Teen Agent and Lure Of The Temptress. Not Interested in those last two but Beneath A Steel Sky's had my interest for awhile now
I highly recommend grabbing Planescape: Torment if you haven't already. It's like Burdar's Gate but with a far better story, IMO. And Tyrian 2000 has been officially free for a long time, and I already have a copy of it. Though it is nice that it's in a more convenient place, now.
I need 3, and when I do some of my Windows gaming tonight, I might also download the Undergarden.

I've been thinking about Baldur's Gate 2 or Planescape, but haven't decided which.

I would prefer it if they just released a large expansion like Beyond The Sword... Thinking of getting this game though, supposed to be $30 on Sunday at EB Games (in Canada). Good news is that I already own Bob Came in Pieces.

So Mass Effect 2 is hitting the PS3 and Steam has Mass Effect and I really want to play through it. Any ideas if it will hit this sale as Ive actually got the time to play it now instead of waiting around for it. I don't know, Ill be mad if I buy it tonight only to find it on sale in a week.

It's one of those things that you never know. It could be on sale during the Christmas sale. I can't remember if it was last year... Last year, there would be a new set of deals put on every day, on top of deals that will be on the entire time. So the game could be on sale during a daily deal, or it could only be on sale at a (usually) more minor discount during the week or not at all.

Yeah, I think I'm going to hold off on it and see. Heck it will probably be 50-75% off if I does indeed hit a sale and Ill focus on Half Life 2 instead. Heres hoping I get lucky

Also, is the Smack Talker objective not unlocking for anyone? I posted on a friend's Steam community profile ages ago and I just did it again and the objective is still locked. O_o
I don't know; I went to the store page and the treasure hunt page came up with the new objectives (of which I had forgotten was today) and I had it. You could try checking general discussion for people with the same problems (Steam forums).

Man, I kinda wish there were more objectives I could actually do. I doubt I could run The Undergarden, and I would do the gifting one, but I don't have any money. Meh, I doubt I would win the 100 games anyway I've only done 5
I should probably mention that Killing Floor is $6 or $7. I enjoy it and have for a while. Worms Reloaded is $10 and they have apparently released TF2 hats and forts for Worms. I am still a bit too cheap to pay $10 with Christmas so soon however.
