GMG has Red Orchestra 2 and Darksiders for $5 each, using the PCGMR-ALLIN-GREEN code that’s $3.75 each. Edit: Actually, is that promo code re-usable or once per account? If it’s once per account, use it on whatever the biggest purchase is - if you’re going to preorder a game like borderlands 2 or guild wars 2 you can save a decent bit. Or BF3 Premium, you can get that there. ---

Green Man Gaming is offering a 25% off reusable voucher code, **ORDER-NTCOM-PLETE** as a mea cupla for those who missed previous sales due to their banking issues. Which seem rather giving of them seeing as how the probems were with the banks, not them. Voucher good through 11:00am Friday (UK time) GMG also put the Skyrim DLC up today. It’s $20 so you can get it for $15 with the voucher if the mixed reactions to it haven’t scared you off. ---

[Flatout pack](http://store.steampowered.com/sub/12467/) on steam is a daily deal for $7.50. Specifically, Flatout: Ultimate Carnage is $5. Not sure if the rest of the pack is worth it - flatout UC has the content flatout 1/2 have, and the third game was made by a shovelware team that bought out the license. But flatout: UC is good and the SDMB group still plays it from time to time, so I could definitely recommend it at that price. It does have good racing but it’s an arcadey demolition racer with a bi destruction derby component so even non-racin people may like it. Some recent videos from our games. [Demolition derby highlights](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwTR93NFYOU) [Head on race](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPH5ZYS_JzM) (Head on races are where you’ll complete a lap, and then turn around at the end to do the track backwards… with all the other racers who haven’t completed the lap yet still coming the other way. Genius) Make sure you turn the resolution up. Youtube has been defaulting to crap lately. ---

The $10 AC: Revelation deal is giving the Gold package with all the DLC. I don’t know if it’s intentional or not but it just did it for me. ---

Be aware that the Assassins creed games use Ubisoft’s horrible Uplay platform that recently had been shown to have a huge security flaw. A plugin the program installs on your browser apparently created a backdoor that allows someone to run malicious code on your PC. This issue has since been fixed, but still. > **[Uplay security risk spotted, Ubisoft "looking into" the issue now](https://www.pcgamer.com/uplay-security-risk-spotted-ubisoft-looking-into-the-issue-now/)** > > There's troubling news on RPS regarding a potential security risk associated with Ubisoft's Uplay plugin software that could allow hackers to remotely install programs onto your PC.

Free weekend for Nexuiz on steam, which is a surprisingly fun arena shooter. I’ll probably try to get a game together later, so download it now if you want to play. All kalypso games are 50%+ off this weekend too. ---
