During summer sales there are a set of games, sometimes with a theme that are on sale for 24 hours at a time. They are for all intents and purposes Daily Deals, except they're usually AAA games for 75% off.

What's better for Binding of Isaac, controller or mouse/kb? Or am I not gonna have a choice?

Just be aware for the illusive discount error, when shit that's supposed to be 50% off is 90% off or games that are supposed to be 34.99 are 3.49 and shit like that.
If a deal looks too good, take it.

To make things more difficult, there is usually at least one game each sale that is ultra cheap right when the new daily sales start, but they adjust the price soon after.

Yes! Tomorrow, believe!
Well I have the phone app...hopefully I can check it periodically if I have signal
He's talking generally a matter of minutes. Someone fucks up and lists a game for 75% off and 5 minutes later (while the site is being hammered mind you) it's up to only 50-66% off.
I was awful at that game with mouse/kb. I did a lot better using just the keyboard with no mouse.

Definitely getting Avernum.
I need 50 more meg on Tribes, but can't get past the suspended message, resetting and changing servers did nothing.

Did before I posted, still nothing.
I decided to redownload Portal 2, since when is the game 6gb? It was 11-12 when it came out.

OMG #Tomorrow!
Not really too excited about sales, I have mostly everything I want, so a few games would be nice still.
I'm more interested in what their event will be for this one. Summer Camp last year was their best one yet, while Christmas was disappointing.
Lol, at Max Payne 3 going to be 50% off on Amazon. I don't even think its two weeks old and it already dropped down 30$.
And Spec Ops too over on Amazon, lol. It just came out on the 25th its saying.

I'm raising my hands to the sky to lend Valve the power to throw down the Summer Sale Spirit Bomb tomorrow.
