Just like in the film The Day After Tomorrow. Picture taken by NASA.

Steam Christmas sale bonanza

A boon for bargain hunters such as myself. Games I purchased during the festive season.

The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition
Mirror’s Edge
Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (includes Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay)
Mass Effect
Braid
Lucasarts Adventure Bundle (includes Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, LOOM, The Dig)
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
Star Wars: KOTOR
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl
Time Gentlemen, Please! (includes Ben There, Dan That)
Ghostbusters: The Videogame
Beyond Good and Evil
Painkiller: Black Edition (includes Painkiller and Painkiller: Battle out of Hell)
Defense Grid: The Awakening

Admittedly, the first three were during the Thanksgiving sale, but I’ll still include it here. For these 20 games in total (using all the packaged games as separate ones, I paid only £46.81, therefore meaning an average of £2.34 per game.

I’m looking forward to playing the old classics, and the new generation of games too, with a huge thanks to Steam for having such a generous sale.

Those of you who occasionally check out my site may have noticed few new updates, but lost of old ones. I’ve been slowly importing them from my old DeadJournal, minus relevant links (as my site was wiped), and moving them to this site with their old dates intact.

It takes time and isn’t automatic sadly, but since Windows Live Writer makes thing so painless in doing so, I might as well keep an archive of it here. Bear with me whilst I move over everything slowly.

In other news, for Christmas I got a 40 euro giftcard for Village Cinemas, which I love, and hope to watch 4 movies with it (given the rising cost of films in Greece). I also got God of War and God of War II from Maria, as I’ve been fairly stressed lately, and need a good old third person game to lower my blood pressure.
