Yes. Often times the last day of sales has some "best of" repeats but with one as short and contained as this it might not.
It sounds good in theory, but since I mainly take screenshots of glitches, bugs and whatnot it's annoying to see the leg-less NPC that I took a screenshot of in the game page everytime I want to boot up Oblivion.

Heh, can't wait for my weird Skyrim glitch screenshots to show up.
I think after you upload the screenshot to Steam Community, you can delete the local copy to avoid this. Maybe I'm mistaken.

I was trying to install Fallout New Vegas and I constantly get a "Steam servers are busy. Try later." What is weird though. Sometimes it shows that the game is about 10GB, then 7GB and sometimes about 5GB. Whats up with that?
It holds up throughout. Invisible blocks sound worse than they turn out to be. The main issue with them is remembering where they are, rather than finding them.
Doesn't the sale end tomorrow?
With the Christmas sale right around the corner.

Exited Skyrim recently and had a moment of confusion and wonderment at how similar the character in the Steam page, posed thoughtfully in front of a sweeping mountainous vista, looked to my wood elf - needless to say, it was him... I'd never noticed this before. Nice touch.
It doesn't DOESNT MEAN RAGE WONT GO ON SALE LATER WOOOOOOOOOOO
Same with Deus Ex which I'm sad I missed out on
Tomorrow will be another set of items which I will buy :3

So for today it'll just be Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and Dark Sector

How does the PC version of Splinter Cell: Conviction work? The always on DRM was removed if I'm not mistaken?

I know Cave Story+ is already on sale for now, but is there any chance of it getting a lower price?

If you really want it, Amazon has been price matching these things in slow motion. So it's still available for 24.95 on Amazon Digital Download and it's Steamworks.
Not until the holiday sale.
Yes, it may be a daily deal tomorrow.

I was going to wait for cheaper but now you have my attention. Explain yourself.
Sure it does, Jase. Now enough with the crazy talk.

Ngggg...... Witcher 2 for $23. It's over my impulse buy threshold. But damn I want it. If, IF it is one sale for XMas sale, I save an extra $10 (ASSUMING it is 66% off and not 50%). But if we don't see it on sale for the Winter sale, then I'll really miss out! But I don't have time to even PLAY it till probably Jan/Feb 2012... so torn...

Well, I like the idea of the steam achievements, etc, and AFAIK (could definitely be wrong) it's not a steamworks game so only the steam version has those?

The puzzles start to become *really* difficult around half-way through.
Cave Story JUST came out, and the final days of sales like these are usually recaps anyway. At worst you miss out on a 50% sale while supporting indie developers, so I wouldn't be overly cautious about buying it.
Rage's sublime FPS experience can't be explained - it must be experienced.
But let me illustrate an example. Remember when you first played the shareware version of Doom and the episode gets progressively more awesome only to end when you wish for it to continue? Every first-person combat encounter in Rage is like that. But better. There's one boss fight that has you battling some huge prick while strafing and shooting the shit out of lesser enemies with your trusty shotgun. It's classic id and by far the single-most awesome FPS battle in years.
Where Rage falls short to Episode Two's lofty heights, it more than makes up for in pure, unadulterated FPS mechanics. So. Good.
Those who believed the Earth to be spherical were also labelled crazy, and yet were later proven right. I stand by this comparison.
And so you should.
No, sorry, I was just giving a minor rant on how 40% is such a measly discount for a daily.

Well looking at just a regular autumn sale item it says ends in 38 hours. So I think it might go through tomorrow past 1PM or we would be under the 24 hour mark.
It's a forgiving kind of difficulty though. Due to the nature of the game, you can always just try things out. If you get stuck, avoid whatever led to that, repeat. Solve the immediate problem, then the next and so on. The falling blocks are a good example of this, where manoeuvring to the right spots in the correct sequence is key, or else you cut off another important route.
I found Rush to be a lot more difficult, since you have to plan out everything before you set things in motion.
So good and something everyone should own at that price.
its good if you like spending 99% of your time delivering items and walking.

If you want to give me Rage JaseC I won't stop you. Then I can decide how good it is.
Boo this man! There's a lot of that sure but the fighting system, while somewhat annoying can be quite interesting when you get the hang of it. Though if you skip it and go straight to Witcher 2 you aren't missing out too much. I enjoyed playing Witcher 1 but Witcher 2 is godly.

How is Rush? Worth buying if I enjoy Puzzle Dimension?
