You should get extra "points" toward winning the 10 Wishlist games if you actually buy the game that is on sale.

I'm guessing that might fall afoul of some sort of "no purchase necessary" rules or laws which are why so many sweepstakes seem to include that line.You should get extra "points" toward winning the 10 Wishlist games if you actually buy the game that is on sale.
*edit* Actually it wouldn't. I don't know why they don't do that except that people might get annoyed at the tactic. If they gave credit to people who already owned the game it could work. Or, if they required you to own the game in order to say, get some sort of achievements, that could work.
They should make you get some sort of points for achievements which you could redeem for items to eventually earn some sort of squid hat, thus making people both buy games AND play them. That'd be novel!

It is a sad day when I can't afford a 2.50 cent game I've been dying to try because of my moving expenses
Are you talking about Terraria? If so, I can hook you up.

Question about the daily deal today: Can I gift a Terraria 4 pack to 4 different people if I already own the game? Or do I have to buy the single edition instead if I want to gift all of them?
I am, but I'm sure this won't be the last time Terraria will be on sale. Unless you've got an extra code hanging out.
I have an extra in my inventory. Add me on Steam and I'll send it your way: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Snuggler
Yeah this could be huge. When I got into PC gaming I wanted Steam to have something like a mod center. Yeah I've learned that getting mods into Bethesda games is pretty easy, but not all games are that easy. It'd be cool to just hit a button and have Steam place the mod in the right place and the right order (while being able to manually edit them yourself too of course)
Thanks!
The bolded is a key part. One problem with Steam and modding that was highlighted recently with Skyrim is that you CANNOT both play a Steamworks game from Steam and avoid updates. Forced game updates can break mods. In Skyrim's case, it added DRM that wasn't even there originally and apparently caused several people problems until they reverted the files.
I seem to recall that one of the popular GTA4 mod authors got ticked off at game updates breaking the mod as well, with mandatory Steam updates.

I added some games I already had on console. I figure the worst that can happen is I can sell off my physical copies later down the road.
The only higher priced game I moved into my Top 10 that wasn't already there was Saints Row 3. Traded From Dust's spot for it.

The problem with your list is that the games are pretty cheap. I've seen many of those on sale for $10 less. I'm gonna fill my top 10 with expensive games so if I'm chosen, I can win big.

We could compile a survey from all these list memes.
Hence you can't put expensive games in the top 10 so in case you win them, you'd have games you could afford even less than those 10$ games? I don't follow.

did anyone ever get a Terraria 4-pack going?
Didn't consider that. Carry on, citizen.

I would love to play Brink if it was not for the fact that it uses 100% of my CPU and continuously goes unresponsive.

Remember: what's expensive to you is not the same as expensive to someone else, and vice versa.
It's doing you a favour.
I know, I know. I just assumed you'd wanted something more recent as well, but if that's not the case then that's fine, too.

The lulzy part is that I did have a job up until Thanksgiving. I was stupid and bought both Skyrim and AC:R because I thought I'd have work until New Years.
I remember when seasonal used to mean seasonal, and not just "specific holidays".

I'm sad about Brink.. Such a great concept. Played great too. But it's execution lacked so much. So much potential was wasted.

I'm sorry, but I just don't understand the appeal of DOTA, and especially DOTA 2. Can't you just play the mod already?

The trouble with the mod is that it's dominated by people who have been playing it for a decade, so it can be extremely difficult for newcomers to learn let alone master. I've always been really interested in playing it but got too discouraged by sucking and not feeling like I'm improving at all. Also, DOTA 2 is quite beautiful to look at.
On that note <3 <3 <3 to shintoki, can't wait until I'm back home and I can start DOTA-ing
