    So, I forgot to participate in this year's Secret Santa. Here's a couple of giveaways to start with. Giveaways close Saturday 6pm AEDT. 2x The Witcher 1x Dishonored I think I might make this a weekly thing, until I run out of games.

    XCOM is on sale on GetGamesGo for $24.99 - 50% off. It's a better deal than the current flash sale.

    Like every other damn Steam sale, don't buy anything unless it's a daily deal (or maybe part of a flash sale). Wait until the last day of the sale - in this case, the 28th of November. Seriously. I thought you guys would know this by now.

    None of them are downloads though, so these deals aren't much use to people outside the US.

    If you're running Windows Vista or 7, you can use an application like SteamTool to create a junction between your drives, so you can switch games from one to another, while still being able to play them. There's also Steam Mover, which seems to do exactly the same thing. Or you could do it by hand, if you wanted to. Whatever you do, don't use Steam's backup tool. It's far simpler to simply copy the game folder in its entirety, and save all the bugs and potential hassle of Steam's inbuilt tool.

    Maybe you should look into the other Paypal-alikes that Steam supports, like MoneyBookers and ClickandBuy. That might be another option. Also, in New Zealand, it's possible to buy a pre-paid debit card. See if that's an option, too. Also, here's a general tip for the people who have to pay currency conversion fees every time they buy something on Steam: Use Steam Wallet. Cuts down on costs hugely during sales, especially if you're buying multiple copies of a game.

    Or you could simply buy Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition for $7.49. It appears that the version being sold on Amazon registers on Origin - if you don't like the sound of that, I'd recommend holding off.

    I think I'm going to have to slow down with my gift buying for the next giveaway. Twenty-five games and it's not even halfway to Christmas. :|

    It isn't just limited to Ubisoft - I just received a 75% EVE Online coupon. Maybe there's a sale coming up?

    There was some talk of a Summer Santa, but I'm not sure how serious Mid was. Also, did anyone else get coupons today? I just received 3 for no apparent reason.

    Bought a copy for the next secret santa. Definitely worth playing, and it's a great price, too.

    Just as a heads-up: Warhammer 40K: Space Marine is going to be on sale for US$12.50 at GreenManGaming.com for 24 hours, starting a couple of minutes ago. Some of you might not have heard of them, but I've found them to be reliable. I bought DX:HR from them a while back, and I haven't had any problems. A word of advice though: stick to the games which need a Steam account to play, unless you want to download their software so you can play games. I'm personally not that interested in Space...

    Honestly? Although the main quest was crap in Oblivion, I actually prefer Oblivion to Skyrim. Unless you're stumbling across things as you wander the world, Skyrim is pretty dull. If you're only buying Oblivion to familiarise yourself with the Elder Scrolls, in preparation for Skyrim, I wouldn't buy it. For all that Skyrim and Oblivion are in the same series, they're very different games. The majority of Oblivion's content is based around its quests. It's in an open world, for sure, but...

    It's better to buy from GoG.com. No DRM, and it's cheaper than Steam in AU/NZ. US$30 until October 6th.

    Frozen Synapse is 50% off this weekend, so if you're into simultaneous turn-based strategy, I'd recommend buying it. You get 2 copies of the game for US$12.50.

    This. New Zealand is getting the censored version as well, because CD Projekt couldn't be bothered submitting the uncensored version to the OFLC. Here's hoping there's a day 1 patch for the censored retail version.

    This probably isn't the best place for it, but if anyone wants a copy of Defense Grid: The Awakening, I have five spares on my Steam account. PM me if you want one. EDIT: And they're gone.
