I went for the THQ pack myself. The only item in that list that I already had was Saints Row the Third. Too bad it wouldn't give me an extra copy that I could gift because I went ahead and purchased another copy for my brother. But that will give me all of the DOW 2 stuff, Space Marine which was on sale earlier in the week, and a crap load of FPS's that I had thought about trying but never got around to actually buying.

If this deal lasts for a week I may pick up the Rockstar pack as well because that L.A. Noire looks fascinating. Oh and its got Max Payne 3.

Pretty common I think, after being a big gamer for years, games just seem mostly meh to me.

Guess one realizes that games are just mindless entertainment for the most part, and after I have played them I am left with nothing. Nothing wrong entertainment, in moderation, but all the time? It is actually boring, and leaves me intellectually starved. And actually helps push the world in the wrong way because you are so caught up in that little gamer bubble of yours that you hardly notice anything else.

In a way, it is TV for the new generation.

For the most part, same.

I play a few select games now, but many I buy on cheap on steam get used a little...
However, I recently replayed all of Portal 2, it is to this day the only game I have had the want to replay as a single player campaign. This realisation brought me back into Eve, though I seem to spend a lot of time on Rosetta Stone now Pirate

Also Spacemarine is pretty awesome as a game, loved it as a stress reliever, though I do recommend playing it on a gamepad.

I'd have to agree. I looked at their list as of now, looked at preview videos of a couple, and saw nothing of interest that I did not have already. Civ 4 maybe, but I'd have to see the last couple months' releases in Steam as well.

As for intellectually starved, I'm now pretty set on throwing my lot behind Icinga and Nagios plugin programming (in particular, the need for better process monitoring). The nice upside is that I'm enjoying what I do at work again, which appears to be rare nowadays.

wow, most single games are 60$. but you can buy every single game ever made for just 300$.

like 50 bucks per company. my god. That's like buying 6 new games. I've done that, you mean I could of had 300 AAA games if i sold 6 of the games sitting on my desk for xbox/ps3/pc? Yeah I'm selling, I need the money to buy more games than I'll ever have time to play. for the price I would of paid for games in the next 6/9 months or so.
