Well I still have to decide on the final list but I got $50 that can only be spent on Steam. So hurray?

At least the gift card dollar value is under $100 this year.

Steam huh? Aw, I'm Sorry. :(

;D

As a dialup user, I've got NOTHING nice to say about Steam. :-X I'd heard about the Enhanced versions of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, and thought of getting them, but after hearing they were "Steam only" . . . :P

I recently got my all-metal Millennium Falcon bottle opener from Think Geek! O0 Sort of a "Merry Christmas to me, from me" thing I guess. ;D I'm a little bummed that the upper quad turret is barely recognizable as such, but aside from that, it's got some nice detail to it. It's only the upper half of the Falcon, and there's 2 small magnets on the bottom. They're not strong enough to hold it to my PC case though, so I Hope they'll hold it to my fridge. Then again, I've got a bobblehead Boba Fett "Monitor Topper" sitting on top of my PC (my monitor is too thin for him to stay up there), so maybe Han and Chewie were too nervous to hang around with Boba looking down on them? :D

I can understand your frustration. For a good long while even the supposed "broadband" connection we have here wasn't good enough to let me get along with Steam very well either. The connection has since improved and I've largely forgiven Steam simply because it means I don't have to find the damn CDs, don't have to fight with my barely functional DVD drive, and it is not the most obnoxious form of DRM I've come across.

So my net loot has come to the total of Dawn of War Dark Crusade, Dawn of War Soulstorm, Dawn of War II Retribution, Europa Universalis III, and FTL.

What can I say there are things about both Dawn of War entries that I like that are not present in the other and I got fed up with not being able to find my Dark Crusade CD and never got to try Soulstorm either so why not since I had $50 I could only spend on Steam anyway and I already have most of the games I care about anyway. Sales tax did mean I had to chip in an extra $2.22 but considering everything I nabbed that ain't bad.

Yes still the never ending imminent domain. They offered me $21500 and my lawyer is saying $122000 so we have something to fight about.
