This one seemed to linger for quite a bit longer than a day and seemed to get taken down at just the right time. Maybe I'm just far too delusional from the complete lack of sleep this past night, but hey, can't blame me for bein' hopeful!

I'm guessing you haven't read The Secret. No, of course you haven't, otherwise you would have had a nice PC like everyone else a while ago.Coldsnap said:

As long as it remains in our
I don't use the Wishlist because it doesn't really do anything, but I currently want:
Alice Madness Returns - Was going to get it on console, but I think it'd benefit more than most from 60fps, and I played the original, so it seems PCish to me.
Bully - I played it on PS2 when it came out, but I just want it in case I ever go back.
Counter-Strike Source w/ Garry's Mod - I'll probably never really play it, but I want it in case.
Crysis Warhead - I've played it thru a couple of times on my mate's machine, but I don't own, so I should buy it, if I ever replay it or not.
Duke Nukem Forever - I need to complete it, and on PC. I know it's shit.
GTA San Andreas - I probably put a hundred hours into GTA3/VC/4, and like five into SA, and everyone tells me it's the best one, so I want to give it another go.
Mass Effect 1 & 2 - Finished ME1 on 360, not played much of ME2, but ME1 is reportedly massively better on PC, so I'm going to wait till all three are out with all their DLC and play them all on PC. It's unlikely I'll buy either during this sale, unless they're really cheap.
Mirror's Edge - Just to own it on Steam, I've played it a lot already, but I could see me playing it a lot more at some point.
Splinter Cell Conviction - Only played the demo, I liked what I saw, I didn't think the older SCs were particularly good.
The Last Remnant - Played a few hours on 360 and didn't like it, but a few GAFfers have told me it's awesome on PC.
If they're all cheap I'll buy them all, but I'm probably just going to get something if it's really cheap, I'm in no rush for any of these really. Maybe Alice, but the rest I don't care about.
I could have just made a wishlist in how long it took to make this post.

The Steam wishlist has morphed into my primary way to plot out what games I want to buy in the future/near future.
Stuff past number 10 or so are older games that I still want.... and just being on the wishlist lets me know when games go on sale.
It's like the staging area ready to be moved into my Library in detail view.
Highly valued feature for me.

These are 75% off at the GFW marketplace. If you have some unused MS points knocking around, it's probably a good way of getting them.

What's a good controller to get for PC? Certain things like RC chopper mission in vice city are stupid hard on m/kb. Wired 360 still?

Having read up on this yesterday, the game isn't fundamentally different, if you didn't like it on the 360, you probably won't like it on the PC.StuBurns said:
The PC version does have dozens of minor improvements though, so it is considered a superior version, but it doesn't "change" the game.

Do you have a 360 controller or a Dualshock lying around at home?zero margin said:
Edit: I currently have 25 games on my wishlist. Whenever I see a game that I want to play, but am unwilling to pay full price for, I add it to the list. For instance, I'll get Dragon Age II when it's $10 or less.

Wired 360 is the best for most stuff.. if you can still find one, a USB Saturn pad to use as an alternate gives you the best of both worlds (digital/analog).zero margin said:

Honestly, I only really want Wolfenstein, the one that came out a few years ago. It hasn't been on sale for over a year to my knowledge and it's still $40.
Apart from that I have so many games in my backlog that when I have time to play any summer sale games they will probably be even cheaper for the winter sale.
Stuff will have to be extra super cheap for me to pick it up at this point.

There's a demo on Steam, in any case.StuBurns said:

Here is something Valve should think about incorporating. A community based pricing program. There is a company that deals in digital theology books (LOGOS) that does it and it seems to be quite successful.
Basically Valve chooses a game that people have on their wish list. Give a period of one week to have people vote on the maximum they'd pay for it. The avg price is what they will put it on sale for. Now you can do a minimum as well. So for Brotherhood you can have 'minimum 10' or whatever.

Quick question, for these types of mega Summer/Christmas Steam Sales are they still per day? I ask because I don't think I can access everything to buy something while I'm at work (maybe on my iPhone?), so if there are like, hourly deals or something like that, I'd probably miss out on some stuff.

Expected time but I'm obviously not confirming it, sorry if you think that lol./
It's when the dailies change and midweek/weekend deals are announced so something will be coming then.

Yes they are per day, I don't think Steam does hourly sales. They also have sales that last the whole duration of the sale, but it's best to wait on those until the last day in case they get cheaper for a daily deal.Princess Skittles said:

Sale starting today is by no means a given but I think it's silly to think we won't get another Summer sale. We've been getting MORE sales not less. Weekend deals -> Christmas sale -> Midweek deal -> Daily deals -> Weeklong publisher deals etc.
I think the summer sale will start tomorrow since it started last year on the 24th also.
There is a bunch of stuff I'd want, but I don't feel that "Have to have it" right now. I think it will be dependent on price.
What I'm interested with potentially low enough prices to jump in on.
Dragon's Age Origins Complete, The Void, Universe Sandbox, Divinity II, and a few others.

I'm going to go with it starting today. I've been checking Steam daily for over a year and I have a feeling that it will.
Of course you can lol @ me when it doesn't.
