My awesomeness factor and public service to all of the gaming community entitles me to like a 4 hour time stamp shift anyway. Sorry. This is one of my 7500 games I’ll actually play, I’ve been waiting for this one for a sale. ---

Whelp, I was going to come in here and beg for that free copy of Xcom… which was available when I opened the thread two hours ago… But so that I have something to contribute: [GMG is selling Borderlands 2 for $16](http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/us/en/pc/games/rpgs/borderlands-2-na/) after a coupon code (GMG20-NT7TS-SY2RT). Though their site hasn’t been working very well, I managed to buy a couple copies to play with my wife. Time to upgrade her graphics card! Also, [Kerbal Space Program](http://store.steampowered.com/app/220200/) just came to Steam! Did you wish that you could fly your Lego rocket ships with realistic orbital mechanics? This is the game for you! Right now it’s in an early alpha state, but there’s a lot of great sandbox gameplay if you like the idea of building rockets, exploding most of them, and eventually figuring out how to land on the Mun and beyond. If I get around to it, I’ll start a thread for the game. Anyone else playing? I bought it around .17, and I’m waiting for a few of my favorite mods to update to .19 so that I can de-orbit my old space stations to their fiery doom. ---

I tried it a while back but found the interface a bit clunky. I believe they’ve improved it a lot though, so I’ll probably pick it up at some point. ---

I pre-purchased Don’t Starve, which comes with a free copy to give to a friend! I’ll give it to any Doper who doesn’t have a March 2013 join date, but please look at the game on Steam first to make sure it’s something you think you’ll enjoy. ---

If anyone happens to see a Company of Heroes 2 preorder deal, please mention it. Discount, extra games bundled, whatever. I’m probably going to grab it and I might as well get one of those good preorder deals we’ve been seeing lately. Also GMG has Dirt 3 for $8.50, which is the cheapest I’ve seen it, and Dirt 2 for $3.75. Both are great games, Dirt 2 is a little better. ---
