    Yeah, here lately they've been on sale practically every day. That's what has been tempting before I finally caved. I'm hoping that maybe that signifies a permanent drop to where they'll be more comparable to HDDs in the near future.

    I have it but got really bored with it. I played it with my clan and they had played much more than me so it just became me standing around shooting whatever small demons made it through or re-sealing a door or some other small task. I then played it solo and it was OK but not something I would want to spend much time with.

    Anyone interested by either Natural Selection 2 or Primal Carnage? They both recently released and I'm majorly intrigued by both of them, especially Primal Carnage. I'm having a little trouble pulling the trigger though since there's virtually zero reviews so far. I'd imagine it would be quite hard to balance out dinosaurs vs humans, which is the main reason I'm hesitant.

    I would be if my interest in competitive shooters wasn't non-existent at the moment. I'm just so sick of playing games with people right now, I'd be hard pressed to find much interest in either.

    I saw it on steam and was interested for about 20 min but couldnt get myself to pull the trigger at this moment especially with my holiday gaming list getting so much depth to it.

    I'm going to post this in several different places so that anyone that could possibly want one will have a chance at it.

    Arenanet (creator of Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2) is offering a Refer A Friend free trial for three people. The trial starts November 15th and lasts until midnight on the 18th. They'll be available to me to send out to people on the 12th (giving you plenty of time to download the client and everything).

    I know most people here aren't too into MMOs, but this one is fuckin' fantastic (been pretty much all I've been playing for 2 months now) and, if you join, I'll create a new character and run around with ya and show ya the ropes.

    If you want one, just let me know and I'll get you it when it becomes available to me on the 12th. There are only 3, so first come first serve (doubt I'll have to worry about that though).

    Prototype 1 + 2 + DLC $7.50 via Amazon

    They both activate on Steam.

    Also, does anyone want a coupon for 50% off Alan Wake Collector's Edition or 50% off the Goblin Menace DLC for Trine 2? Both are for Steam.

    Not sure how many other Flight Simmers are out there like me here at TGT, but if you are one of the many nice add-ons I've found is AirHauler. http://www.airhauler.net/

    It's a cool company manager type add-on that not only allows you to fly your planes, but you manage the fuel, cargo runs, pilots in your company, planes in your fleet, etc...there are virtual airlines out there that are similar to leagues in NCAA or Madden but the nice thing about AH vs virtual airlines is you earn virtual money and can actually do something with it (i.e. purchase a new airport for expanding your base of operations, purchase/lease new aircraft to increase you range and fleet size, higher new AI pilots, etc...) it's a pretty cool add-on that gives you something extra to do.

    JustFlight has it 50% off right now. http://www.justflight.com/product/air-hauler-boxed

    As far as other great add-ons, I'm a GA (general aircraft) guy first. The big iron planes like the Boeing 737, 747, Airbus, etc are fun to fly but they are more about flight planning, flight management system programming and then once you take off you let the autopilot take over it pretty does everything for you and then you take over to land. This is how they do it in real life for the most part, but it can be "less interesting". This is why I like the smaller planes, i.e. Cessna 172, Piper Archer, etc...smaller planes that may not even have an autopilot system. Some do have them but a lot don't and you have to hand fly the plane either visually or through your instruments and tuning your radios (IFR).

    I picked up these controls last year and it's been pretty damn fun! That's not my desk just an image I found online of the product. It includes the yoke, rudder pedals w/ toe brakes, throttle quad w/ extra programmable buttons (i.e lights, gear, flaps, etc) and trim wheel.

    I also picked up this little gem http://www.rogerdodger.net/diyflight..._keyboard.html it looks pretty damn professional once it's all said and done, my wife saw the keyboard (picked up a cheap one at walmart for around $10) and said, wow that looks store bought! I smiled, it was easy to make once you had the template and materials list.

    This is my lastest toy that is on order should be here soon it's called TrackIR.

    Since Amazon has Dishonored for $25, I'm hoping Steam matches that price. If Amazon had it as a downloadable title, I'd get it now but they're only offering the physical copy.

    I came across the game PORT ROYALE 3. I was about to download it onto my laptop when I noticed it was also on PS3. It's an awesome game and it's from the makers of the Tropico series. Basically the game is 99.9% the same from PC to console which is really cool to see. I love economic/trading/casual military games such as this Tropico, Civilization, etc. I'm glad to see Kalypso media made a cross platform game. I hope other game companies will follow suit. I forgot how much fun it is to play a cpu sim style game ON CONSOLE. Anyone else played this game?

    Not bad at all, but, sadly, you could have built that from parts for half that price.

    Actually, worse than that, you got kinda screwed because that computer basically has onboard video, which is atrocious for video games.

    From what I heard the processor itself goes for $300 on Newegg. So probably a little more than half.
