I'm just so glad that the Year selected on the age check as been being saved as of a month or so ago. So all I have to do now is hit Submit. I was born in 1909 didnt ya know?

19min to Holiday Sale!?

Sadly, this isn't an age check sufficent to german law. Yes, i know that Valve is a US company and yes, i know that my government is a bunch of derranged hypocrits ... but its annoying that i am treated like a child because Valve goes the easy way. Gabe, i have MONEY that i can and WILL spend on Steam if you let me?

Dead Island at 50% on Steam is worth getting for anyone who hasn't.
Ahh, thank you, mein Herr! That is probably the reason why there's no "Deal of the Day" entry. Dead Island is indexed for german minors and therefore Valve blocks all german IPs because they CANNOT BE BOTHERED TO IMPLEMENT AN AGE CHECK!

*sigh*

Oh no, they HAVE an age check. Its incredibly annoying to have to put in my birthday just to visit a store page an check trailers. Its not just once and you are done either. You'd think that it would remember the value from a logged in steam account so one could enter it just once (perhaps in a profile). But nooo. It doesn't even remember it in a single session. Everytime I want to check trailers or info on a rated M game (which is many of them) it annoys me with one. Sometimes it annoys me with the age check AGAIN if I go back and visit the same store page later! At least now it remembers the year I put in so I don't have to continually re-enter that.

Anyway, my guess is that that game just isn't allowed to be sold in germany unless its behind the counter in stores, and that probably means something weird for online companies. Either that, or perhaps the age check thing they have for USA, isn't sufficient legally for germany. I dunno

Hmmm... very tempted, just wasn't sure after all the problems I read about after launch.

It's not bad at all. For $20, you could do a lot worse.

 
RollinThundr Apr 17, 2013, 12:25: Eh really tossing stuff like that in there only to get your panties all bunched up. If you really want to call that trolling sure.

Mr. Tact Apr 17, 2013, 12:33: Pretty sure that's the definition of trolling...

Knowing that I have a ton of games on the go and that Skyrim will have enough DLC packs to double its price tag (like both Fallouts, Oblivion, Morrowind), I'm just waiting for it to go Game of the Year around fall next year (seems to be the average waiting time). That way
a) the game will be fully patched as they will bother
b) cheaper for me
c) many great mods will be made for it
d) Manage to get through some of these others games

Same.

I'm personally hoping we get a deal on Skyrim & I'll pick it up. I have no issue paying retail for it, I know its worth it. I just have so much going on right now that I'm playing.

BF3 (Tons of it! I'm in a league & it takes a lot of my time)
L.A. Noire (About half way through it & enjoying it)
Dead Island (Just started it, seems "ok")
DCS:A-10 (LOVE it, but I'll need months to devote to this one)
