Different publisher for the latter two.
Best way to go about it when it feels overwhelming is to limit yourself somehow.
Only top five games you want.
Only games you will play sometime this year.
Only older titles you missed out on that are cheaper, and thus you can get more of them vs newer titles.
One big game you really want to play right away, then just what might be nice to round it out to your budget.
One game for yourself, one game for a friend as a gift.
Plenty of other ways, but those are the most common suggestion. The best piece of advice I've always found is to always remember one key aspect of Steam Sales; There will be another Steam Sale in six months and almost every deal will be repeated or bettered.

I haven't been playing the Monster game (and do not plan to do so) but I have 7 cards from what I have purchased so far. Apparently I can turn each of these cards into 20 gems. Is that the best route to go? I'm a complete n00b in regards to Steam, I'm getting a gaming PC soon so this is my first time using Steam.

Go to your badges, Monster Summer Sale should be at the very top. Just click it and like with all other games with Trading Cards it'll show you what you have, what you need, and which of your friends have what you need.
I'd recommend crafting the badge. All you can do with the Gems now is craft booster packs, and those depending on the game, range from 600-1,200 gems.

Yup, chrome. I just get redirect loops, and thats only if it even joins the game at all.
Edit: Works in Firefox when I disable all my privacy extensions. Horay!
Edit Edit: And I crashed Firefox. LMAO. Maybe I should add a delay to the macro.

Make it happen, Gabe. 50% off PoE and 66-75% off Dark Souls 2. We'll call it even on that no Half-Life 3 thing.
Oh right, didn't notice that.

If SotFS goes down that low I'd get it. Right now I still don't think it's worth it, even with the discount for having the base game and DLC.
It's easy to become overwhelmed which so many games. I've heard of a winter sale, so I can leave some for that sale. I'm going to try my initial plan, which was to complete the list(8 games) that I was going originally going to buy. Thanks!

Anyone getting horrible download speeds? For the past hour I thought it was just my net being jacked up, but it's just steam. Steam is downloading crazy slow. Everything else is fine.
It's not like most other shooters. For one it has a set spray pattern for all guns. Fire the guns full-auto. Move to the right. Fire again. See the pattern stay the same.
Whereas in Quake/UT of old you had to lead targets if they weren't hit-scan. Same for CoD in a way (though CoD is completely hitscan) and Battlefield (which has ballistic travel). This takes some adjusting.
If anything, what pisses me off is the amount of times I've been two or three rooms away from someone and they just somehow pin-point nail me in two milliseconds when I can't even see nor hear them.
Still a decent game if you stick with nothing but bots, like me. Only reason I'm playing online is to get the competitive restriction lifted again.

It's an amazing game, especially at that price. Will easily cost you 15-18 hours to complete on the first playthrough.

Is it actual horror, or is it just filled annoying cheap jump scares?
Freedom = $1.05

Check the steam forums. It has some issues, like the ingame resolution settings are locked to 720p regardless of what res you select.
It takes a bit of work, but I recommend you check it out to get the best experience.
It's neither really. Has a few jump scares but overall I wouldn't say it's very scary. Does have some great environments and atmosphere at times though. It's more in the RE4 mold of having some gross and sometimes creepy stuff but largely not being very scary.

Halp! I kinda added TS 2015 and all the DLC to my cart just to see the ridiculous amount of cards it would say I'd get(spoiler 215 cards). Now I can't remove them all. There's no empty cart and when I try to remove an item it says "Sorry, we couldn't remove your item". I don't wanna have to spend $2,600 to clear my cart D:.
No Dreamfall Chapters smh

My freaking wishlist is so small that I bet none of them are going to be dailies/flash sales until the middle of E3 week.

Decided to grab that Developer Alliance Bundle for 74 cents. Figured that all of the games in it sound interesting, and the price is surprisingly low; seems like the definition of a hidden deal.

Would be all over Cities with a 50% off. I can ride my backlog out till then
titch a page or two back
I grabbed it earlier and just got done starting my city. I forgot how fun it is to lay pipe
Two of us own it and don't really like it.
It's not your ordinary survival. It's a horror/survival sandbox nightmare. Playing online with others shit, playing without them is boring. Crafting is bad, animations are poor, even for an indie. They didn't even put time into the death animation - you literally just scream, and it's over and reset. I didn't enjoy it at all. I tried to. I put in a fair few hours in both modes.
...Must resist until bigger discount...

I'd be down but I'd need to either host the pack or find someone willing to take a game as payment for my slot instead of paypal.
Thanks for mentioning this. Every one of those games has cards. That's a good deal.

I'm really torn over Sunless Sea. It totally seems like my type of game, (story driven rogue like, with FTL elements), but the one negative buyer review has me second guessing it. Does the story really play out the same way every time? I don't know if that's really something I want out of something so text heavy. Bah...I've only bought This War of Mine so far, so I guess I can probably afford it.
It's a daily, so no. It's also super special mega awesome and could buy it at full price without regrets. So don't let anything hold you back and buy it now. Do it for Jesus.I really want Cities, but I also really want a bigger discount. I don't think I'll get that this round of Steam Sale.
No. The story is pretty free form so I don't know even how it could play out the same every time. It doesn't have enough of a concrete plot for that criticism to make sense.

I've been playing Polarity for a bit and I'm really digging it.
It's like a mix of puzzle game elements in a Portal-like environment.
The package is definitely worth it just for that game.
Tempting, but I can wait for a better deal on this, although I know it won't be during this sale.
