Well, then they would have switched by noon CST then, since we're in CDT, and noon CST is an hour later?

well my comment was a statement about the servers getting hammered / delays, not a statement about timezones...
It's indie games, what were you expecting AAA titles? There are some really good ones on there though, but I already have them. World of Goo is a great game.
D2D's website said:Bridge Construction Set is about building a bridge that doesn't break, although watching your bridge creation break and plunge a train into the watery depths below can be half the fun. In Bridge Construction Set you design and build bridges and then stress test them to see how your creations hold up under pressure. When test vehicles pass over your bridge and make it safely across you know you've succeeded. If they plummet into the river you know you need to go back to the drawing board.

Mount and Blade is worth it, and if anyone hasn't played World of Goo yet.... wtf
But they were up by noon CST even for you, whch is what he had, albeit mistakenly, said...
yeah but they weren't up by the time the timer said zero, which he had also said.
No, you said that they weren't up "at that time" of noon CST...
My point was that it's kind of sad that we're watching this so closely that we're aware of possible 30-min delays in the list being available...
It's not like they're about to go OOS? (Assuming the site is indeed getting hammered at high noon...)
Judging by the last two weeks' lists, I suspect we're going to be disappointed come next week's War Games list anyway... Missile Command, anyone?
And maybe even... Warlords?

Running around outside playing cowboys with sticks for guns sounds more exciting...
Bridge Construction Set.... sounds..... tempting....
I'd recommend defense grid and world of goo.

My war games prediction:
Far Cry 2 (hey why not?)
Looks kind of fun to create and destroy bridges and for $5 even if its only fun for a short time its not a huge loss.
They might have had limited-time arrangements with certain publishers or for certain games.Anyone want to venture a guess as to why some of the previous weeks' games are still $5 and some returned to normal price? I wanted to get Tombraider: Legend, but it's no longer $5.
so, i want to get a few of the games that are still available for $5, and i need some opinions.
So far in my cart i have:
Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena
Bioshock
Saints Row 2
STALKER Shadow of Chernobyle
Frontlines Fuel of War
I've read reviews on all of them, and they all look good, but i can only really get 2 or 3 games at most... which ones would you guys pick? I haven't played any of them (that i listed).

Shortest? My first playthrough must have taken me at least 20-30 hours and probably more. I don't know what game you were playing.I didn't understand the hype... Shortest FPS I've ever played...

Well, that depends. Did you explore or a lot of just do straight up mission to mission and go straight there? The game takes a lot more time if you just explore and find things rather then simply going from mission to mission.
Every open-world game has its boundaries. The area you can explore in STALKER is quite large though. And as for the loading, that can't really be helped; it's just how the game engine works.Well, that reminds me of a glowing problem I found with vanilla STALKER...
It's supposed to be a wide-open world... I thought it would be like Far Cry, where you could run around anywhere...
Nope, kept running into these stupid fences... All over the damn place...
Not to mention the fact that STALKER seemed to need to stop and load another level just about every-other minute...
Hard to get immersed in a game when you're spending that much time loading (and since you backtrack so much, re-re-re-re-re-loading) levels...
I bought it and CS, so at least the devs got my support...
