Steam Daily Deal for November 14 is spooky-looking platformer NightSky for $2.49 (75% off). Oh, and look, Gamefly has Darksiders II on sale for $16.99. What a weird coincidence.

Green Man Gaming has The Lord of the Rings: War in the North for €4.99 for the next 24 hours. It looks like they've started doing daily deals as well. The game activates on Steam. http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/ie/en/pc/games/action/the-lord-of-the-rings-war-in-the-north/
From what I've read it's more "action" then "RPG" and it wasn't that well received. For those curious about the game a fiver isn't that much of a risk though :)
I'm tempted but I think I'll save the 5-spot for Kingdom of Amalur to fill my "generic RPG game" fix. I figure that's coming up for sale again sometime soon.
https://www.humblebundle.com/ They just added to the Android Humble Bundle 4 (all of which have PC downloads as well): Avadon: The Black Fortress Canbalat Cogs Swords and Soldiers HD Zen Bound 2 as long as you go over a certain average - (currently at $6.28) I finally bit. I wanted the soundtrack for Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP. Which I am listening to now!
It was fine for a couple of hours, then I lost interest. Neat if you like seeing another take on familiar (and not so familiar) places (esp if you've played the MMO), but after you played it for a couple of hours you've seen all there is to see. Some setpieces spice things up, but also show off the dumbness of your AI companions which ends up annoying quickly. Solid, workmanlike action-RPG combat.
GMG has Crusader Kings 2 for 75% off this weekend making it €9.99: http://www.greenmangaming.com/crusader-kings-deals/ Also, Warlock: master of the Arcane is up for €4.99: http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/ie/en/pc/games/strategy/warlock-master-of-the-arcane/ The last one activates on Steam.

Apparently the GMG Crusader Kings 2 downloads are Steam-based. The Gamersgate CK2 downloads are NOT Steam.
Daily Deals for November 18: Steam: SiN Episodes: Emergence is $2.49 (75% off). This was the first SiN Episode. It was also the last, giving new meaning to the phrase 'sin no more'. Gamersgate: Silverfall: Earth Awakening is $3.74 (75% off). An example of how I am old: When I read that I can 'master over 156 skills and magic spells, including 8 new exclusive 'Ultimate' skills and 12 unique "High Level" skills' it just sounds like work and makes me want to lay down for awhile.
Amazon has a Tantalizing THQ Medley for Ten Dollars. Feast your senses on six games for $9.99 for the lot of them. Three or four of them are even good, depending on your point of view! They also have a lot of other crap on sale, but it's all crap as far as I can tell.
Don't think this has been posted - here's a sneak peek at the Amazon Thanksgiving PC download sale: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=328579 Some highlights: 1.

I wish I didn't already own 2 copies of Dark Souls. I would kill die to play it again for the first time.

Oddly named developer of comical Let's Play-bait spoils Steam sale dates! So expect some big deals from tomorrow through next Tuesday.
GMG has Sleeping Dogs Limited Edition for 69% off, which makes it €15.29: http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/ie/en/pc/games/action/sleeping-dogs-limited-edition/ This game requires Steam to play :)
People! The Distant World games are on sale again until mid-January for 35% off, bringing the game and its two expansion to a little less than $60. Distant Worlds is $25.99 Distant Worlds – Return of the Shakturi is $15.99 Distant Worlds - Legends is also $15.99 If you can, snag these folks, they're worth every penny! Oh, and other Matrix games are on sale too, but whatever. ;)
Big Steam sale starting today as foretold by the Prophet of the Magic Crystals. The sale prices aren't loading for me yet, but looks like XCOM and Walking Dead are daily deals, among others.
I'm tempted to pick up XCOM. Last time it was in the running I had to make a choice between it and Dishonored. I chose poorly.
Even though this sale lasts less than a week, there's still a bunch of back catalog discounts. The recently released Anno 2070 expansion is $10 off and Critter Crunch can be had for under two bucks.
Hopefully Anno 2070 will be on a daily sale, though. It was fairly cheap not too long ago, but I passed to spend more time with Settlers 7.
