I feel like a Steam Trading Card junkie, just bought like 30 cards.

Still mad at Ubisoft for not putting Shades of Darkness into the Might & Magic franchise pack.

listen to the mad man
To get the alternate plot path in Gunpoint, I erased my main save and went through the whole game again. This time I've completed all of the stages up to the final stage without hurting anyone at all. I'm ultimately going to try to get all A+ all non-violent but I'm not quite there yet. Now, how the hell do I do the final stage without hurting anyone?

There's another one in six months already, once you've seen two steam sales you have nothing left to buy really, except maybe the odd newer game that might interest you.
Man, how come the pacific always gets stuff 3 hours before we do?
Well, this isnt really true. Ive been doing steam sales for years, and spent hundreds this time on interesting games. There are a lot of good games on steam.

False. This is my third sale and I have spent another $80. And only because I had a budget this time around.

If you've crafted a badge to level 5 can you get all the cards for the set again to get a summer card, profile background, and emoticon?
Edit: Looks like the answer is "No"

Agreed. I've been through a bunch of sales already, and I still bought tons of games this sale. Hell, more than half of the games I bought this sale weren't even out (on Steam) during the last sale, so the claim that there's nothing to buy after your first few sales just doesn't hold up.
Still, it's never quite as special as your first sale.

I'm on vacation, no laptop so I can't try the demo.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Well deserved.
Disney adding Lego PotC to Steam and putting it up at 75% off would be the perfect way to end the sale.
:dead
False. This is my 5th? steam sale and I spent more than ever before.

Disappointed the notepad video lost out.
Wow his name is Saul Shark?
The notepad one was pretty baller, but this definitely beats it on special effects alone. Cool of you to do this and congrats to salsa.

No SFxT daily, those bastards...
I had to go the more expensive route with the Might & Magic games when they were on sale earlier in the year as Ubi is hopelessly inconsistent when it comes to including DDEs within franchise packs.

I'm closer to this opinion. I've been on Steam pretty much from the start and only the first sale did I go absolutely crazy. Got almost everything I ever wanted through Steam and after that I've just been picking at the scraps waiting for new releases to hit around the $5 mark.

Rogue Legacy still not at a price I can afford. I want to cry =\
I think Fortune Summoners alone is worth the extra $5 if you're already considering Recettear. I thought it had a nice combat system that provided a lot of abilities for you to use for essentially any situation. It's party-based with three characters (melee, healer, mage) where you control one member while the AI handles the rest (if any). A lot of moves are very deliberate so you'll have to time your attacks based on the skill and enemy otherwise you'll die quite quickly. Once you have a full group wrecking everything in their path is when the game really shines.
There are some complaints that may make you hate the game greatly. Movement is extremely loose and slippery. Combine that with enemies (even flying ones) and platforming and you'll be quickly smashing monitors. Your characters have a tendency to get knocked down and be possibly inflicted with a daze effect after getting hit repeatedly. One last thing I didn't like was the forced solo segments with different characters. Since the style between them differ greatly, it's a huge adjustment.
If you can handle those issues, it's a pretty fun 25 hour game.
I never played Chantelise so I can't say much there. Also I think all 3 games have a demo so you could quickly try them out.
I just removed it from my wishlist unpurchased today and, let me tell you, it felt pretty good

Well deserved.
It may eventually pop up soon. There were some registry update for it recently.
All the Summer Sale foils are worth less than $2, so I'd hang on to it and see how the market is later down the track: once the sale is over, the Summer Sale cards will no longer drop, so there'll be a finite supply.
Not yet, at least. It may be coming to Steam alongside Bio2's Steamworks achievements.
I helped make this possible
Hold on to it for a few days after the sale.
That's because the card was brand new back then and a market had not been established. There is little chance of it ever going back up that high, short of Valve seriously reworking how drops work to limit supply.
Edit: Sorry, I thought you were talking about a foil from the Bioshock Infinite card set, not a summer sale card. Yeah, those will probably go up a bit eventually, but not to 10 bucks.

I actually have about $10 worth of MSP I will literally never use otherwise, if I buy it through GFWL or whatever terrible method they have set up will it cause issues in the future/does it make more sense to wait for the DLC to show up on Steam?

I brought Chivalry, hopefully I'll know exactly what all the fuss is about.

Okay, last time I promise. But you know, Sale ends soon and I'd like to get Rochard while it's discounted. If anything, I'll get Receiver instead
It's a Summer Sale BioInf foil, not a general BioInf foil.
Edit: Ah, you noticed.
