Be gentle.

I was out of state for 6 months at during the fall of 2010 through the early winter of 2011. While I was away from home, I got the urger to play some TF2 ( I don't think it had went f2p at this point), which was one of the few games on my Steam account at the time. I was bored of Counter Strike when Steam initially…

I wish I worked for Steam. If you can make it happen, let me know!

I probably will pick it up during the Winter sale, but I'm pretty ambivalent to the series. I understand the appeal, but its not a game I would invest any time in.

I can't believe I wrote all that.

Dominions III is a great game and has earned its status as a cult classic. I hope it gets more attention, because it deserves to find a larger audience. And $7.50 is absolute steal, considering the history of its price. As far as I know it has only been dropped from $30 to $7.50 twice, and each time the sale was for a…

The 500+ (there's actually a Steam badge for that, but it shows me having completed it in 2004, on the date I created my account, which was the date I activated HL2) is just for Steam. I have 2-300 more between other accounts, mostly on Amazon and GoG, with a few on Origins, Ubisoft and other services.

Dominion III was just an example for the sake of the discussion. I just left a comment to Shane and hopefully it addresses your points in your comment. I don't bear him any animus; far from it. But I do stand by the points I raised, and they were not raised as criticism of what Shane does here.

I love the concept of Moneysaver, and I hope you can grow it to something more than it is now. Hopefully Nick Denton or Stephen Toltillo will see the wisdom in assigning you a team of specialists to really expand on what you are trying to do, because it has great potential and will be a great boon to Kotaku, the…

Why would I waste my time defending against personal attacks based on your self-professed powers of observation, when said observation comes from a few comments on a very narrow topic of discussion, none of which would seem to give any support to your accusations?

I have pretty strong opinions. Sorry if that offends you. I won't justify the rest of your baseless assumptions with a response, because they say more about you then they could ever say about me.

Shane, you seem like a good guy, and I do appreciate how you take time to interact with the commenters, because from what I have seen in your columns, that's a constant theme. So I'm going to take everything you say at face value on the affiliate deal issue, because I've already made my point in that regard, which is…

Well that's subjective on both counts, because if I have a deeper knowledge of PC games than you, than I have a better understanding of the significance of certain deals in that area. Don't be defensive, I wasn't attacking you. My speciality is PC games, yours obviously isn't. I'm sure you have a better overall…

If I'm mistaken about the Gamersgate listings, my apologies. I'm basing that mostly on your failure to cover Dominions III last time it was on sale. And honestly, I stopped looking at your column after that, because I go to the same sites on a daily basis that make up the core of your PC deals. Did you start covering…

I have over 500 games in my Steam library and I've had my account since April of 2004. I've purchased many of my games during the Winter or Summer sales.

He's not with Fred Phelps. I used to live a mile away from Fred Phelps and his clan and I went to high school with some of their family and church members.

Well, if that's the way it is, I want them to roll it back to Halo 1's multiplayer, so I can go back to setting up a Gamespy tunnel to get 2v2 online multiplayer.

I bought it when the day it hit early access status a few months ago.

I remember that. That was such an awesome concept!

Sleeping Dogs is not a great deal. The base game is 6, but the DLC — not including the base game — is 27.99 right now. It will be a good deal when it's bundled as a GOTY edition. Right now it's a pass.
