You all need to buy Psychonauts. Even at $50 that game was worth every penny.

It is... up until the last stages where you want to hunt down and throttle the level designer.

"Call of Duty: 4" and "Edios Super Pack" are also 10% off.
And Company of Heroes is 25% off too.

Didn't see that on the list.

"Psychonauts - $9.95 (50% off)"

NO EXCUSE NOW. I DON'T CARE IF YOU MISSED THE GAMETAP FREE TIME, NOW. NOW NOW.

And now, for my comment:

I plan to purchase:
Psychonauts (Personally, I played it on my friend's Xbox over a long weekend, hope to buy it for realz now) - 9.95
STALKER 22.45
Sam and Max Season 1 26.95
All that for just $59.35

Then it's off to...I think Circuit City who has COD4 for $37 on the 26th.

What a haul...

You can get a physical copy of Psychonauts for like $4, new. Buy good games, but don't screw yourselves over.

You just need to follow the instructions like ridiculously carefully. I had to tried to to wing and it and simply failed. CoD4 runs beautifully now.

I had that once. I installed Vista (oh so crap) and realised it cut performance in games. Couldn't format it so I ended up having to format my whole drive which meant a Leopard reinstall too.

You might have to do that :(

But anything is worth it for Orange Box.

Holy shit balls!

Orange Box for $37.45!?!?!? The best deal ever in gaming just got insanely, ridiculously, amazingly better!

Happy fucking holidays!

I love you, Steam!

I bought the Orange Box again, even though I own it on 360 and Half Life 2 and Episode One on my computer just so I can download portal maps and play TF2 without all the freakin' lag! I thought paying 50$ a month for Xbox Live was to bring me a good service. Stalker for 20$ is also tempting.

You pay $50 a month for Xbox Live?

Duhhhhh

I meant 50$ a year, and I usually get the cards on sale. Regardless, I can play a 24 player game on my computer with no lag, and Xbox Live can't handle 8?

Everyone raves about Psychonauts I'm thinking about trying it but I have one question. Does it control very well with a mouse and keyboard or would I need a gamepad?

A gamepad would be a fine idea. Psychonauts has functional mouse and keyboard controls, but many times you will find yourself frustrated when you wanted to do one thing, but messed up because you didn't have quite as much precision. The game was really designed with a gamepad in mind. I suggest one that has two shoulder buttons, like the ps2. If you have an xbox 360, you might want to invest in a wired controller, as it can be used with both the 360 and the pc via usb.

Chris

Or if you have a wireless 360 controller, just buy the wireless adapter for the PC.

The Valve Store also has just put up a soundtrack to the Orange Box, and yes it includes "Still Alive" from Portal.

The included soundtracks to HL2 and the episodes are actually pretty cool, too. I like it.

After playing through the Psychonauts demo a few minutes ago, I've decided that I'll be getting it before the week is over.

This is crap. I already have HL2, HL2:EP1 and I bought Portal alone. Even now the prices don't justify to buy only Episode 2 because it'll be much pricier than the Box combined, which I already bought for Xbox 360 (and loving it). No deal, Valve.

And Merry Christmas to everyone else! :D

then just buy TF2 alone - you're not missing out by not purchasing EP2 on PC, its pretty much exactly the same, and TF2 is cheaper than $30 and well worth it to get rid of the lag problems on Live and get custom maps.
