Between now and Monday, October 14, Steam is having a pretty substantial blow-out on Capcom titles, in celebration of the publisher's thirtieth anniversary. Everything is discounted by at least 40 percent, with daily deals cutting prices on some games by as much as 75 percent. Today's daily deal is Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition, which can be snagged on its own for $7.49, or in a bundle with Street Fighter X Tekken for $21.99. Meanwhile, Lost Planet 3, DmC: Devil May Cry, Remember Me and Resident Evil 6 have all been marked down to less than $30. You can also snag a handful of Capcom-published indies like Fairy Bloom Freesia and Satazius for less than a fiver. Click all up right here for the full list of discounted games, and remember that some discounts will change on a daily basis, not entirely unlike ourselves. Think about it.

Race changes on sale now
It's no secret that I like the race change service. Since it debuted, my main has gone from human to night elf to draenei to worgen to tauren (OK, that's a faction change -- still counts) to night elf to draenei again. And I'm considering going worgen again. So the news that race change is going on a weekend sale has me giddy. Do you have an unsightly human face or orc posture you're longing to shed? Then by all means, head on over and change that puppy up. If you're playing a puppy, that is. If not, change whatever you happen to be. Remember it's a weekend sale, so if you're planning on taking advantage of it, don't wait too long. And if like me you actually find yourself changing races because the tier 13 hat looks dumb on your current race, I won't judge. Can't, really -- I just admitted to it myself. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm has destroyed Azeroth as we know it; nothing is the same! In WoW Insider's Guide to Cataclysm, you can find out everything you need to know about WoW's third expansion, from leveling up a new goblin or worgen to breaking news and strategies on endgame play.
