If we'd told you ahead of time Valve would have our toenails up there too, also on discount ;)

hehe, true. Also, it seems you can redeem tickets for The Zenith Remnant, which is pretty slick.

Great, there goes the next week's worth of coding on AVWW. Chris is going to be too busy buying games.  ;)

Also, any chance AI War will be one of the super special daily deals this time around? (Although if it is I bet you probably can't tell me)

Either confirming or denying (regardless of whether it was or was not going to happen) wouldn't be really dealing in good faith with Valve, sorry :)

If the indie game dev gig doesn't work out, you could always have a future in politics with lines like that. :P

But I understand. I'll just tell everyone to buy AI War every day regardless.

No game buying for me anytime soon, for that very reason -- got to keep my eye on the prize!

To paraphrase Chris's response to the other question: no politics for me, for that very reason (dealing in good faith) ;)

300 enemy games have entered your system... Respond quickly by pumping out 150 zombie games.

Wait I'm getting different kinds of eyes mixed up.

Is there a special map that gets unlocked with this, or is it the expansion itself that gets unlocked for the prize?  It says map underneath it, but the way it reads is that you get the expansion for the prize.

It's just TZR; I think Valve wanted to stick to a really small set of category names ("Map", "Gear", etc) for that.  I think it's not particularly clear myself but it's their call on how they want to present it.  Overall the site looks pretty nice.

Yeah, I was a little confused as to why they said "Map" and not something else, but it is the best category there. It's an expansion, and adds to the base game much like a map would, only with about 200 more ships, so it seems like a better deal :D

Not asking for a confirmation on anything either way, but there seems to be a new (to me at least) achievement that sounds quite summery... "Heat Wave Brown Out" - net balance of 300,000 energy.  The suspicious folks like me sense an incoming golden prize ticket in the near future :p
