Sigh. You'd think by now that Valve would have sorted this out. Steam has been around now for over 10 years.

Well, yet to be officially confirmed, but it seems several ddos attacks are currently hitting hard Uplay (Ubisoft) and Steam platforms...

So far, Origin is safe (sheer luck or better defenses against hackers?): just bought Titanfall2 (-50%) without any issues.

As for Steam, there you go : http://www.techworm.net/2016/12/steam-down-phantom-squad-ddos-steam-servers-bring-christmas.html

Guess this is the world we live in, now...

I will bet....no.

They are not offering any proof of this DDOS attack. And asking for retweets to restore servers? Riiiight.


Oh look! The a-holes account got suspended....wonder why?

I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Mass Effect game. It will be interesting to see what it is like with no more Shepard.

I went for the strategy of buying the five cheapest things on my wishlist.

I have to say, Blood and Bacon is the most brilliant thing I've played in ages. It's like the Evil Dead of computer games in that it knows it's taking the p*ss out the whole genre, but by design or accident, is surprisingly good.

I agree with Jayhawk, keep an eye on Shadow Tactics. Its getting really good reviews and they have put a demo out which I'm enjoying.

Unfortunately for me, I had a lot and most sounded really good.
Dammit. They got me again.

Spintires
Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak
Metro Redux Bundle
Fable Anniversary
Homefront: The Revolution
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen


If Shadow Tactics plays like Hard West, the Western TBS game, I'll end up with it. Hard West is a lot of fun.

Has anybody seen any prices lower than the Fall/Thanksgiving sale? Seems mostly the same from the items I've looked at.

I miss the flash sales.

Far Cry 4. I'll get bored quickly since I'm spoiled by flight sims, but at $20 it's a fine guilty pleasure.

I want DCS Mirage 2000, but that is not on Steam. Maybe it will be cheaper in the summer to.
