Discount alert: FLOCK! is half price on Steam this weekend photo

If you’ve been thinking about buying FLOCK!, today would be the perfect day to put down the coin. For the remainder of the weekend Capcom’s quirky sheep herding simulation is 50 percent off Steam. If that's not enough of a deal for you, check this: Steam Achievements and a juicy patch have recently been added. Groovy.

Our review of FLOCK! is still coming, but since I’m sitting right next to Conrad I believe I’ll go ahead and ask him what he thinks of the game. “I think it’s a lot of fun," he tells me. "I think it’s undersupported [on XBLA] by the online community and at 50 percent I don’t think there’s a logical reason for anyone not to pick it up."

I also just asked him who would win in a fight: Robocop or a T-Rex on the streets of Old Detroit. His answer may surprise even the most jaded dinosaur fan.

“Robocop,” Conrad says. "And the reason for that is that Robocop has mobility there. The T-Rex has to move around s--t. If we were talking about the Savannah, Robocop’s f---ked.”

I have never sat next to Conrad, but I did once stand next to him.

I unfortunatly used the last of my money buying TF2 last weekend so I will not be able to pick this up. Also, is Flock! any better on PC? I tried it on PS3 and didn't like it too much.

On a side note, am I the only one who thinks that Conrad looks like he has killed a few people?

There seems to be a disturbing lack of breasts in this Discount Alert.

Conrad is awesome and totally put up with my drunken babbling. Brad is also awesome.

Going to pick up Flock right now. :D
