Valve's Steam service is having a last-minute holiday sale from today until January 1, with everything on the online store reportedly 10% to 50% off. While all they have to do is make one game 50% and the rest 10% to make that statement valid, there are some good deals going on. Highlights include:

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

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 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 can't format the drive, it gives me some kind of error...

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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
