Steam sales!

Man, I love the sales that Steam has on.

The one currently is the "Summer Camp Sale" it's final day is Sunday (10th July).
So far I've been quite tame, I've only bought a few games, the latest one being Amnesia. Great game, the atmosphere and suspense is amazing. I was genuinely scared while playing it. Which is quite rare for games these days.

Also in the sale there is a thing where certain achievements you earn each day give you tickets in the Steam store, kind of like a carnival. You can spend the tickets on items such as DLC, exclusive offers on games etc (Each items costs 3 tickets). It's really quite good and gives something back for playing titles and also acts as an incentive to play new ones.

In other news and slightly off topic, I'm really hyped for Battlefield 3!

Now we are the world and we are the people. We are the world and we are the people and we will be heard.

Each nation used to provide its country with security
With factories providing arms for their country
Now multinational companies compete in the arms trade
to serve any customer, maximising the money to be made

So just as farms compete to provide fruit for other countries
So people can live to enjoy the taste of nature
National warehouses compete to provide arms around the world
To aid death
And all hell unfolds.

Our gracious queen
Should grasp her crown
And take a good fucking swing at Blair and Brown
For leading her countries to illegal warfare
And trying to pass it off that we're doing 'cause we care.

Now prudence of wars are a redemptive cause
I've never heard such nonsense under international laws
We think we have the right to enforce democracy
When we're weakening ours everyday
What hypocrisy.
