Steam Summer Sale
Son of a bitch. I would really like to expand my group of game buddies on Borderlands to include the TFF Gamers Steam group, but I'm not budgeted for another game until next week. 
And yeah, it's a steal at $7.50, especially since the DLC packs come with it. Recettear at $5 is also a very good deal. I'd strongly suggest to get both while you can.

And oh look all the DLC comes with it.

I'm actually kind of excited about this sale. Shogun 2 and Braid are both probably worth getting, and I can't recommend Just Cause 2 highly enough. Actually I can. It got Yahtzee's game of the year award. For a guy who's typically had problems with sandbox games, he enjoyed it enough to give it GotY. It is really fun, and definitely worth 5 dollars.
Looking at heros of might and magic right now. How do you all feel about those?

Steam Summer Sale
Snagged JC2 and Star Wars Battlefront II.
SW:BF2 was a game I played on my PS2 long ago. I liked it, but I hated how the PS2's lack of network functionality hobbled it compared to the Xbox version. Looking forward to earning the badass weapon upgrades again.
edit: I'm a dumb shit. SW:BF2's PC version is insanely bug-riddled to the point of literal unplayability, making the Xbox version the only viable network-capable edition of the game.
To make matters worse, JC2 is a Windows Live game, meaning that no version of Windows previous to Vista can run it, and I'm running WinXP. Playing it will have to wait until I'm eventually forced to update to Win7.
Both of these issues could have been apparent to me had I not impulse-bought. :sweat2:

Steam Summer Sale
Mmmm... first time I've actually been on Steam during one of these sales (and had any money to speak of).
I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations or condemnations for any of these games?
Titan's Quest
Torchlight
Grotesque Tactics: Evil Heroes
Overlord 1
Overlord 2
Fatal Labrinyth
Aztaka
Sacred 2
Dreamfall
I could probably buy up all of these, but I kinda don't wanna waste room on my hard drive on shit games.
I could go by the demos, but flashy cutscene graphics do not a good game make.
BTW, I'm already planning on getting the Oblivion pack. Anyone know where I could find any interesting/fun/perverted mods (and know if can I mod Oblivion if I get it off Steam)?

Steam Summer Sale
You can mod Steam's version of oblivion. (Make sure your game folder is not in Program Files in Vista/7, you'll get lots of errors if you do have it there.)
99.9% of mods are available on tesnexus.com. The few aren't, are usually from 2ch or Naver.
There some lists of favorite mods, faqs, and troubleshooting on the <a href='http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/forum/25-oblivion-mods/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Official forums</a>.
(There's also an Oblivion mods topic floating around in the sub-forum somewhere.)

Another source of mods for oblivion is planetelderscrolls. I think you'll have to make a fileplanet account to dl, but it saves you time later when for some inexplicable reason the nexus version of the mod is in 9 parts and three patches, and planetelderscrolls has an updated version in a single file. And I think there are a few mods on planetelderscrolls that aren't on nexus.
