IF you don't care about the othe two games on the package, you could gift and/or trade the key.

No, I care about the other two games, but steam isn't designed to care about such things, so it is laughing at me telling me I already own the games.

I am giving away a Humble Box gift. Please, only folks that don't think they'll be able to buy games during the sale and have less than 50 games or so on Steam apply. The first person that PMs me their email address will get the key.

Okay, has there ever been a permanent solution to Steam randomly unsorting my games every few months? Logged in today to find that while everything I've owned for half a year or more was still in its categories all of the titles that I've bought recently had unsorted into the generic games list again. I'm on Mac for what its worth and this is really annoying. (I've never gotten externally added games to stick around either)

No, the only solution is to stop being OCD about sorting your games.

Well I can set it to just display Mac and just display PC games on their respective partitions, but I like being able to brows my collection as a whole, and seeing what I have on each.

SSHD/SSHD2 for $3.75 each then, and SSHD:G for $10. You'd be dumb to pass on these games at that price, they are fucking great.

What are the chances Fallout: Vegas is gonna be on sale?
Click to expand...

There's a chance, I guess. It was on sale on D2D a few weeks ago, so it's possible.

Though these "What are the chances of ____ going on sale" are kinda amusing, no one ever really knows. :p

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if some people deposited a certain amount of money in their Steam wallet and only spent out of there what they could. :lol

I'd say almost definite. But with what discount? Maybe 30% or so given it's still very new.

I just bought it off BB when it was on sale for $30 so I'm not worried (and selfishly hoping it's not priced less than that.:lol )

I'm hoping for a Dragon Age: Ultimate Edition sale. I'm guessing my chances are fairly good. But it'd be the 3rd time I'd buy the game. :S

UGH....ok I'm at my wits end at this and I can't find a solution....I'm trying to get TF2 to run on my gf's macbook pro but while Steam will connect, TF2 won't. When I launch TF2, my username isn't logged on (signs in as unknown) nor are any of my achievements there. I can't connect to steam servers and when I try to access the TF2 store, it says that I'm not connected to Steam (even though the overlay works and I am logged in at least on Steam)...Please help...

I've deposited 100. I better not spend more than that. That would be far and away my record for a sale.

You will be tempted to spend more, I'm sure, but if you're honestly good about your spending, that shouldn't be too hard. I've kept it around 50 USD for each big sale there's been.

Hoping for a Bethesda pack, since I need to get the Fallouts and Call of Cthulhu. Think they would throw that oldie in there?

Just realised that this is the perfect opportunity to have a fresh PC up and running by the time the sale starts. New motherboard, SSD, another GPU for Crossfire... I can't wait to not play all the games I buy with this new system.

at least you'll know that you could run them all in max settings if you wanted to...

Should be more than enough if you try to stick with just the daily deals, group packs, and small bundles. Going in for big publisher bundles will kill you.

Ive held myself to much less and made out like a bandit during these Steam sales, so you should be fine.

It's so fucked how I had no intention of buying Humble Bundle 2 ("I already have Braid and Osmos and Machinarium on different platforms, this isn't a deal") and yet I jumped on that shit with the quickness the second I found out they activate on Steam. :(

Last year I got Crysis/Crysis Warhead (w/crysis wars) and GTA4 for $20. You can do a lot for not much money if you wait for the games you really want.

Unfortunately I gave up on waiting for the game I really wanted and it finally went on sale on the last day. A great and legendary man remembered and made sure I didn't miss out on it though.

This thread is the GAF equivalent of lining outside of Best Buy to buy a $10 Blu-Ray player on Black Friday.

We are all sick, sick people.

No idea how much I'll spend if any. I spent 0$ during the Treasure hunt and only 18$ between Steam/Amazon for Thanksgiving.

How are the pc ports of the tomb raider games?

Between the hd collection and the reboot I bet they will go sale

Never played any of them - go for the pc version or wait for the collection?

PC Underworld is fantastic. If you can go with PC version, do it. Theyll still be better than the collection package

EDIT: This is all assuming that the collection doesnt have any gameplay extras.

I can only speak on TR:Anniversary which was fantastic. It was very much an old school style of Tomb Raider game. From what I read though Legend and Underworld were not.
