    I've finally passed all the exams and my parents gave me a 50 Euro Paysafecard for that.
    I'm thinking of buying something from STEAM but I don't know what's in now. What have you bought recently? I've seen a very positive Game of Thrones game review but the gamers' comments were not soooo friendly. So I don't know.
    Maybe I'd better leave this idea for the rainy days and enjoy summer with my real-life friends, lol.

    Don't buy Game of Thrones. It's supposed to be absolute ****.

    If you can wait a little while, there's supposed to be a Steam Sale coming up soon. That €50 would get you loads of games.

    Yeah wait for the sale. Should start in the next week or two. Planning on picking up a few things myself.

    That 50 will go a long way in a steam sale.

    Thrones story is quite good but as a game it has issue. Worth a play but not just yet at the full price when there are many far better games out there.

    Definitely wait for a sale. You'll likely blow the whole voucher on one game otherwise.

    Got the Game of Thrones game, not good. I'd advise DOTA 2 - fun so far :D I bought a premium pack for 29.99 off Steam.

    The vapor into which water is converted when heated, forming a white mist of minute water droplets in the air. STEAM.

    I believe the steam sale is imminant. Activision seem to have put discounts on most of their stuff, if you check the specials list.

    If you go here: http://www.dota2.com/store/

    And buy the Dota 2 Invite (29.99)
    You get like a premium pack
    Immediate access to the game, a bundle of items, and an invite for a friend
    methinks.

    Oh, thank you guys, I didn't know there was a sale planned. Well, let's wait then.
    Watched a bunch of Game of Thrones gameplay videos and gave up the idea - not my beer. It's a shame, I think they could make such a great game out of it.

    What time would it usually start on the first day? And do they give any notice or does it just suddenly start?

    Yeah, just sow it. Is that premium pack worth it? It's just a bundle of stuff I have no idea about... Does the hero system works same way as lol? Buy one for money or in game currency?
