is VPN MEXICO to Origin still a thing for cheap Battlefield 1 bundle?
I've had luck with older titles getting a bigger discount but not newer titles... DLCs seem to fall in line with the base game. I've used it with SIms 4 stuff over the years but when I just checked the latest stuff its actually more expensive in Mexico. Sims 4 Cats and Dogs is 28 vs 20. The other stuff might still be more discounted but I'm not sure if its worth the effort to look.

Battlefield 1 I think was the first game VPN didn't work for.

So since I know everyone is super interested, I've decided to regale you all with my Hearts of Iron adventures.

The first hundred or so hours I played almost exclusively as Axis nations, and I thought to myself, why not play as an Allied nation?  So I picked most iconic Allied country of all, Czechoslovakia.

I decided the only way I could survive was to play defensive, so I built up a bunch of forts on the border with Germany (like a Maginot line, except it was a Sudeten-line) along with a massive army of infantry and artillery. So when Hitler came a-knockin' for the Sudetenland, I gave him the middle finger and told him to suck it. Luckily I had an alliance with France and luckier still they joined the war when Hitler declared war on me.

So both France and I are holding off Germany at the Maginot line and the Sudeten-line respectively, while Hitler kept throwing his men into our well-fortified meat grinders. He hadn't gained an inch of territory but had at least a million casualties by the time Italy joined, and swept France from the south. Hitler gets cocky and decides to declare on Poland, but this time the UK got involved and helped stave off the invasion. Poland gave up some land to the Soviets in exchange for them not invading, and seeing our opportunity, we start pushing back into Germany, resulting in this;

So we knock out Germany, then sweep into the southeast to put down the Junior Axis (Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria), then take back France and finally with our forces combined, mop up Italy.

In the peace conference, I annexed all of Germany because fuck you Hitler. We reinstated all the conquered nations as democracies, even Germany, who is now exiled in Prussia. Belgium took Italy's African possessions, and also Albania, for some reason. I believe the only fascist nation left is Spain, who was not involved in the war. Not too long after the war was finally over, Japan declares on the Dutch East Indies after having conquered China, and the Soviets declare on Poland, who I've vowed to protect in honor of their noble sacrifice. So we'll see how that goes.

Stay tuned for more adventures in " fuck you Hitler, you're not my supervisor!"

I thought the big deal was Hitler basically annexed Czech (well the parts not annexed by Poland) which is one of the starting reasons FOR the war. That's not a very good simulator if it doesn't even get the basics like "which country existed at the time" right.

Edit: From History.com " On September 30, 1938, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, French Premier Edouard Daladier, and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich Pact, which sealed the fate of Czechoslovakia, virtually handing it over to Germany in the name of peace."

also from history.com "December 21, 2012: a prophetic date delivered in stone by the ancient Maya. Revered by scientists for their extremely accurate calendars, the Maya are also known for their mysterious ability to predict unsettling events so many are taking the December date seriously. On this date a rare galactic alignment will take place and coincidentally, as the alignment happens, our sun will be entering its most violent solar storm cycle. And, all of this comes at a time when scientists believe Earth's magnetic defense shield, which protects us from dangerous solar radiation, may be compromised. Our planet may become paralyzed. People are heeding the warning and getting prepared, including a group of everyday Americans learning how to fend for themselves and live off the grid.".   Seems like #fakenews to me

 
Doubt there's anyone here that cares, but for the few that do.. White Day has a bunch of christmas outfits that are only free during this sale. They're halfway decent looking. Currently $12.45 after voucher on GMG. My guess is each costume will be $1.99 after the sale, like most of the other paid DLC. None of the paid DLC has been on sale AFAIK

Yeah those QTE boss fights are ALLLLSUM!!!!

I give it a 'meh' out of 'meh.' Guns are worthless. Melee is okay-ish. I got bored of doing side quests in such halfway through the game.
Don't you give almost every game that score?
Going through a second time turned the game into a big ol' pile of 'meh' for me, too.

Hope you enjoy it, CFC. My first playthrough exploring everything was a blast. My first few night excursions genuinely got my heart racing. Those goddamn Volatiles are terrifying.

And for the second time this holiday season, I get to reference "Stripes" here on CAG.

How's is it as a horror game? First time I've heard of this game and Steam reviews are "mixed"

I haven't played much of it so I'm not going to go all MysterD up in here to convince you to buy it. I do know it's a remake or remaster of a cult korean classic. I think it's gonna be one of those games that you'll need to try it to know if you'll like it, but it's probably worth a buy if you like older horror games.

 
Would that be 10 out of 10 for Code Red Mountains Dews? Or Regular Mountain Dews?
The kind you have with Doritos. I will say this about Dying Light. It had some interesting elements (like the racing for supply drops) but never put effort into them. Overall it's another lazy and shallow open-world exploration game with nothing really worth looking for in the first place.

 
I was just browsing through my steam profile backgrounds and noticed I had one that actually sells for $5-7.

I don't have games like CSGO or PUBG, so that's the highest value marketable item I've ever seen in my inventory.

EDIT:

A word

One from Shadowgate remake... Talimar
Nice, sometimes it pays to craft anime game badges or sell boosters/cards near the game's launch. I made around $13 off of a Fate/Extella background and a decent amount from making boosters and selling them/the cards on the market. The rare background sold for $80ish IIRC, but I didn't get that one. You have to actually own the game to make boosters and get past the market hold period though.

 
Yeah, I've sold a number of anime backgrounds for quite a bit of money before.  At least two for around $20 each, a handful for around $10-15 and a bunch at $5 or more.

I used to make more back when you could buy cards from the market, craft the badges and immediately sell the backgrounds and emoticons though.

 
Can't decide if I want to buy cheap games or wait for inevitable bundling.
The following are my pics for upcoming humble bundles:

Lisa

Hiveswap: Act 1

Crypt of the NecroDancer

Depth

Rogue Legacy

Amnesia: Memories

Transistor

Axiom Verge

Tacoma

Diluvion

*pretty much any that was in the Yogscast

For headlining humble monthly

Metal Gear Solid V: The phantom pain

Ori and the Blind Forest

Darkest Dungeon

Just Cause 3

Subnautica

Torment: Tides of Numenera (already mentioned by Spoder)

State of Decay Year one

Dying Light

Please tell me what games you think are destined for bundling soon. I was surprised to see Quantum Break headlining. I can say that based on Divinity Original Sin, I would not expect bundling or sub $30 in 2018 of Divinity Original Sin 2. If you are into quality VNs, my wish bundle would be a Spike Chunsoft bundle, but I cannot see that happening.

I am interested in what Ubisoft and Square will do humble bundle wise in 2018. Both have several games that they can promote with bundles.

Regarding crafting, yes the last round of changes affect the listing of crafting items i.e. emotes and backgrounds if any of the cards came from the market. I am unsure if this was an unintentional consequence for people wanting to sell more quickly.

IsThereAnyDeal lists them as a retailer when comparing prices so maybe they are? I don't know, I hadn't heard of them until just like yesterday I think. LOL
Yeah I don't trust ITAD or Reddit anymore when it comes to what's legit or not. They accept paypal though, so I guess I wouldn't mind buying from them. Now to decide if I want to keep my steam wallet purchase or pay a bit less with real money

EDIT: lmao they've got this at the bottom of the site:

TOTALLY LEGIT!

They should be legit according to Ubi and Sega. Also "Voidu3" coupon code should work, I guess.

Spoder, now you are free to buy the game there, kjeje.

Also site seems to be from Middle East, that could explain why they have certain chep games as well as some of their games catalog is locked to Marica.

Supposedly they're out of stock now, according to reddit

I like Dying Light, but never finished it. I have the expansion, but ain't got to it. Open-world fatigue got to me first.

wat. u can have either of those with doritos. y u so confusing mooby.
THIS!

 
Checked out Amazon's digital day to see if they had anything decent as far as PC games. As expected, it is bad. It does have Homefront: The Revolution Freedom Fighter Bundle for $8 though. I know at least a couple people around here think that game is pretty decent.

Just to stay on topic. What kind of mountain dew goes best with cool ranch doritos?

Good deal for that game.

And the answer is diet mtn dew. Always diet mtn dew.

 
Okay, I have a hardware question. Say I have a Raidmax Ninja II case that is supposed to have 3 5.25" slots, 3 2.5" slots, and 3 3.5" slots. Say I  also have a 3 Tb Seagate HDD. The only way I can seem to fit the Seagate into the case is by turning the HDD sideways and sliding it into one of the 3.5" slots. Even then, I'm only able to put one screw in the side of it, so the drive is not super stable. What am I missing? (Sorry if this is a dumb question but it's literally been over two decades since I've put my own PC together and things appear to have changed a lot in that time.) 

 
Does the front not come off to put a screw in the other side? Also fuck cases without drive cradles that slide in.
No, there are pieces that come out in front of the 5.25" slots, but not anywhere else. Actually there's a case fan directly in front of the 3.5" slots.

How come Doritos hasn't been able to make any good flavors since nacho cheese and cool ranch?

Couldn't you remove the front and the case fan to directly reach the other side of the 3.5" slots?
