On video games.

Anyone want 50% off Assassin's Creed: Revelations? I just got 3 coupons for it dumped on me on Steam, and I already own the game.

Edit: by 3, I mean 9.

Apparently Steam's been hiccuping.

Huh, me too.

But I can't be arsed to buy it, as I've still not played the first (though I own it)

Don't. Assassin's Creed blows.

Assassin's Creed 2, AssBro, and AssRev are all excellent. But the original? Wretched. Watch the Let's Play (http://lparchive.org/Assassins-Creed/), then start playing with AC2.

Got far too many of those myself, but thanks for the offer all the same. A pity I can't use two and get it free.

Or 9, and get credited a bundle.

But it doesn't work that way. I've stacked deals before, you get a Zeno's Paradox rather than free games.

Yep. Retailers these days pretty universally consider 50% off to be a math-phobic-friendly way of saying "divide cost by 2", not "subtract half the sticker cost from your total" (for the last one you want 25$ off or whatever).

Doesn't stop coupon clippers from spending half an hour arguing with the cashier though.

What's your Steam username, if you don't mind me asking? Same as LJ? (Unless I already have you and I'm going all fucking Alzheimer's again.)

"theweaselking" should find me. Display name perpetually sits on "John", with this icon.

Actually, that would be great, if they are still available - I've heard good things, but have never tried them.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

No problem!

Friend me (http://steamcommunity.com/id/theweaselking/), tell me who you are (I'll be on tonight), and I'll send you one.

[arielstarshadow.livejournal.com]

Will do, once I get shome from work (sometimes, I wish I worked somewhere where I'd get some, but that's definitely not happening). :) (I don't use Steam all that much, so I can't remember my Steam name. I think it might be the same as my LJ name. If it's not that, then it's probably Starshadw.

[arielstarshadow.livejournal.com]

Well... I friended you (name is arielstarshadow), but I am too much of a Steam dummy to figure out how to tell you it's me over there. *facepalm*

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

I see you, but you're showing offline. And "Hey, I friended you, I'm starshadw", is good enough.

I'll be online for most of the evening, although I may be away from my keyboard for a while. When we're both online, we need to "trade", and I'll "trade" a coupon and you'll trade nothing and poof, one coupon for you.

[chrisrw109.livejournal.com]

Hey TWK, I'd love a coupon if you still have them available. My steam identity is: chindirw109

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

Sure. Friend me (http://steamcommunity.com/id/theweaselking/), I'll get you one tonight.

[arielstarshadow.livejournal.com]

Will continue to try and connect with you - we don't seem to be on at the same times. :)

Whew, they sure don't make it easy, do they?

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

COUPONS are hard to trade. Gift purchase are easy.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

PS: Last night, I missed you because I was in a fullscreen game and AFK when you popped up, so the "hey are you there" disappeared and I didn't see it until I closed the game. Tonight, no fullscreen games.

[skreidle.livejournal.com]

What's the cost? (Thought I'm not sure why I'd bother, since I haven't even touched Borderlands+4DLCs that I bought months ago.)

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

$25, with the coupon.

[skreidle.livejournal.com]

Mmmm tempting, but not quite enough given that I haven't touched games I purchased or received as gifts in December. :)
