It's Summer Sale season again.

"Wait for Dailies"
"X has a pricing error, get it for 99% off."
"Why is this listed as a daily? There is nothing off on it."
"I can't load the store!"
"Trading X games for Summer cards."
"When will I have time to play video games?"

Good times.

My first Summer Sale, bring it on!

 

[Atraveller]

This is going to be my 2nd Summer Sale. Last year was magical, so by logic. I'm going to be disappointed this year.

Your first time was so disappointing.

 

[Grief.exe]

I think there's still time to make a nice cup of coffee before checking the new deals.

Spoiler

There's always time to make coffee!

Good idea Monk. Good cup of coffee keeps you alert, but the fragrance and taste keep you relax. Perfect conditions for making informed purchases.

 

[milena87]

25mins not enough for a full episode of iZombie.
Banking on 20mins of broken Steam

I suggest watching the last episode of iZombie and return when Steam is stable

It doesn't hurt that it was a pretty great episode.

 

[Vazra]

Wait a looong time. Worked for me, lol.

Wow it worked. Those loadings tho...

 

[Nyteshade517]

InB4 the new people ask "Should I buy it now or wait?"

I didn't start PC gaming fully until October last year so this is my first real Summer Sale

 

[X05]

This is like the shortest X05 post I've ever seen.

These topics are always huge, and I have been working overtime a lot for the last few months

Spoiler

(never do projects for huge companies, they suck)

, so I can't multiquote properly ;_;

.

lol, pretty much

Before the sale starts (and the Enhanced Steam servers hopefully don't melt) I'm working on a few updates for Idle Master. In particular, JaseC will probably like this one:



I probably won't be adding any real exciting features to the next release, mostly just bugfix stuff and usability updates.

Oh, neat!
Also I downloaded the source code recently as I had an idea for a feature, when I have some more time I'll dive right in

 

[crazyrabbits]

Sale thread up yet?

Soon. Jase said he's doing it just after the sale starts, as per the other thread.

 

[freshVeggie]

"Is X worth it?"
"X is a daily, will it go any lower?"

But how am I gonna know if it's worth though?
Papa frost gladly answers all your prayers.

[Shadownet]

"Is X worth it?"
"X is a daily, will it go any lower?"

"Will frost exile me for asking a stupid question?"

Yes, yes he would.

That's correct my good man. It will be fun to see once again our different time zones acting. I'm sure I'll be waking up just when you are about to going to sleep!

Gonna make some coffe

This is a good idea.

 

[fantomena]

Gonna make some coffe and enjoy the gabepocalypse aka "Where's the sale", "Shit sale", "The store is down fuck you volvo", "Just 50% off, worst sale ever"

 

[the_firewithin]

who will be the first to not wait for prices to update and complain?

 

[freshVeggie]

Coffee? You mean that toxic, black juice?

Nope. Give me tea anytime.

Well we can't all get free games from PR peoples.

 

[Leafhopper]

"Is X worth it?"
"X is a daily, will it go any lower?"

"X is a daily, will it go any lower?" is the question that always actually bugs me.
No you crazy it probably won't go lower. Its rare that the community votes will higher % off and even then you have to hope that game gets put up for vote and wins.

My first Summer Sale, bring it on!

It's a magical experience. I'll be your guide!

Your first time was so disappointing.

Legit, last year's was annoying more than anything else.

 

[fantomena]

Well we can't all get free games from PR peoples.

I wish I could.

 

[crazyrabbits]

Could go for a venti Oprah Chai brewed tea from Starbucks right about now. Need fuel to survive.

 

[jshackles]

15 minutes til the sale starts, and Enhanced Steam's servers are already under a heavier load than they've ever experienced (even at the peak of the last sale). At this point it looks like things will probably tank as soon as the sale starts, so hang tight and I'll try to get more servers online as soon as possible.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Terrible sleep; I'm groggy, my eyes are dry and I'm sore from my first mile run in ages.

I think I'll drink a monster. Caffeine is a good drug.

 

[Sch1sm]

I'll complain inside. I always do.

Coffee? You mean that toxic, black juice?

Nope. Give me tea anytime.

It really is an acquired taste. I used to hate it, now I drink it black. Not very often, though, I prefer tea as well. Still not that bad.

Did the owners of "isthereanydeal.com" forget to pay this months server rent or something?

It keeps redirecting to a hosting page when I click it.

How are you going to do that btw? cause in my head I picture you running around the house, plugging in more servers.

"OMG OMG, it's going to melt! I need to hurry!"

 

[xenoflux2113]

That special time leading up to the sale is my favorite.

What a crappy time to forget the bills.

Look, it's a chance to double the price of Garry's Incident again!

 

[Nabs]

I do have one (Xbox 360 wireless controller; bought for GTA IV).
But since it's wireless I have to change batteries quite often. (Mistake on my part; should have gone with wired.)

But the most important reason is really that I like KB&M a lot more than a controller, for any game really.
(When I did a replay of GTA IV last year, I also went for KB&M instead of controller.)

The only game I played in recent years with a controller was Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.

Oh, screw that. Charge those batteries and play Dark Souls with a controller. Then give Dark Souls 2 a chance with a kb/m down the line when it's cheap enough.

 

[Majukun]

i wonder if we will finally have a decent sale for shadow of mordor..the game is still pricey for a game that old

 

[baterism]

Coffee? You mean that toxic, black juice?

Nope. Give me tea anytime.

Drink both. Black in the morning and evening, then a big cup of green tea after dinner.
It's almost 12PM and I am as wake as I could be.

Bring it on Gabe!

Doesn't sound like you are taking a break and relaxing for your health.

How are you going to do that btw? cause in my head I picture you running around the house, plugging in more servers.

"OMG OMG, it's going to melt! I need to hurry!"

Nope, just fire off an email to my server hosting company, requesting they bring another mirror online. I pay a consolidated monthly bill, so adding servers really just means spending $$$. Most of the servers will be decommissioned within 30 days so there won't be any recurring costs. It usually takes them about an hour to bring a server online, then it takes another 5 minutes or so for my rsync process to completely replicate the content. Then I simply add that host to the reverse proxy load balancer and it adds additional server capacity.

Doesn't sound like you are taking a break and relaxing for your health.

This is true. That will be this weekend when I'm sequestered for a few days in the hospital without internet access.

Jesus Christ you fucking people.

Is it not enough to have to wade through your anime gifs, push past your stagnant pools of Sony discussion, or face the bottomless, murky pit of daily morning pleasantries?

Now you're talking about coffee? In the sTEAm thread?

Lock this shit and throw away the key it is unsalvageable.

I drink one thing of coffee throughout the day, but I take caf pills every six or so hours.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Well, I'm going to walk the dog.

'Batman: Arkham Knight' Review Copies Won't Go Out Until Launch

I guess servers won;t be ready before launch so it is ok. Oh wait...

 

[Chariot]

I would laugh if the rumors were wrong and there is no sale this week.

 

[crazyrabbits]

You heard right.

Buy Grand Theft Auto V & Great White Shark Cash Card

And yeah, game got more expensive, no way to buy it without that 'card'.

 

[Leafhopper]

You will regret this.
