Apparently not. I was asking right when the daily deal went up. I am in though if someone from the US can host.

Oh it has been on my list for ages now... Just if it makes it easier on Gaben to bestow his magnanimous generosity upon me..
I'd like to know if any of last year's winners had then-unreleased games on their wishlist.
Edit: Ah, it's right there in the T&Cs:
Steam said:
I think at least one guy who actually posted about winning mentioned not getting one of games because it was unreleased. I don't think anyone followed it up, though
Here's the section of the contest rules about it, anyways:

Yeah, I noticed that soon after posting; I just hadn't refreshed the thread.
Thanks, though.jim-jam bongs

I approve of your list, for it contains the second-best FPS this generation as well as the most underrated and under-appreciated game of the year.

It would be hilarious if valve could promise you entitlement to a game they can no longer sell, but I doubt it would happen
They'll probably be like "Sorry, invalid game selection, discard this entry and draw the next person."

Wow that's a long time for a sale. This will be my first Holiday sale in December. Getting my wallet ready!
Well it's two weeks, I think that's how long the last one was, or close to it.

Holy shit.
So... more games to add to my already huuuuuuge backlog :/
When I was younger I had a lot more time to play games but a lot less money to buy them, now I can buy games but I have a lot less time to play them, just great!

2 weeks with every day feeling like christmas! (well one day is actually christmas)
My coworkers got annoyed by me during that first week since I was always like "HOLD ON, GOTTA CHECK THE STEAM DEALS."
Or pick wishlist #11

listen to the mad man
Just finished Bastion (6.4 h gameplay). As of right now, it'd be #1 on my GOTY list. I can't fully articulate why because I do actually have some issues with the gameplay, but I hope to get some time to put down some thoughts. It's a very special game and a breath of fresh air and if you're on the fence, well, definitely consider buying it.
RAGE fanboy!
Just spreading the true word!
Oh, you two!
It will also cleanse your soul, for I hear all those who purchase Alice receive a free pass to Heaven.

Idk, I didn't think Alice was really worth the 15$ I paid. 10$ would have felt more appropriate.
I won't buy it. Largely because Spwn gifted it to me out of the blue. (Thanks!)
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
Its the reason why I was waiting to get in also. Tried to go back on WCIII and never got into a game. Saw download map in a noob game, kicked and cussed at. HoN was a bit difficulty for me to look at. DOTA2 on the other hand has a very easy look to it. For someone like me who can't play certain games due to visual problems(Either they cause physical strain to my eyes or I can't make it out). Its very easy and clear for me to understand what is going on.
Playerbase has been pretty good so far too, though I seem to be a bit more skilled than other noobs I'm getting paired up with. Heh. You'll do fine.
General Christmas sale talk.
Don't think I'll be buying much. Own most of what I wanted a lot, and only a few hold outs remain.
Wonderful game. The story/soundtrack/narration combo managed to affect me somehow. Looked beautiful and I never felt like it dragged, seemed just the right length. Probably was my GOTY for like a month after I played it.

Can you guys recommend me some headsets?
I was just doing a full malwarebytes scan and for some reason splinter cell chaos theory was infected with something called rogue.securityshield. I got rid of it with MB and deleted the game off of my computer with steam but I don't know why that was infected, I've had it on here for months and through countless scans and nothing ever showed up.
Anyone know anything about that?
Anyone know anything about that?
I just hope someone recommends Gabe to let us choose voice-out when we use a headset. My headset just collects dust because of that.

My eyesight really isn't fantastic these days either, so I know what you mean about the visual design and clarity. The latter is one of the things I love about Source, really crisp texture filtering and anti-aliasing just makes it all pop wonderfully. This is probably going to be surprising but I found Starcraft 2 quite busy compared with videos of DOTA 2, though it's generally very clear and easy to interact with compared with most RTS.
Can't wait!
Mine's slightly different(Not just poor eye sight). I've mentioned a few times were certain games I can't physical play due to it, recent was Sonic generations where the colours and blur are too much for them to handle. It induces pain and causes headaches for me. Heh. Its odd to describe, I have zero problems with it in Vanquish, but Sonic Generations I couldn't play for more than a few minutes.
Which is why I always prefer very clean games. DOTA2 is perfect.

So will this render some of The Elder Scrolls Nexus redundant?
Holy butt fuck my testicles are shrinking.

The game is a blast with a group of friends.
Thanks to today's update, I've fallen back into the throes of Terraria addiction. They added a ton of new stuff to the game. I wiped my 50 hour save and restarted with a fresh character, and there is so much to do...tunnels to dig, minerals to pick, monsters to slay...so much for finishing any more games by the end of '11. I'm off the wagon.
It's a lot of game for $2.50. Buy it if you haven't already, jerks.
