Why would it be the 12th when the last three years of summer sales have been today?

last 2.

 

[Wok]

If the Summer sales start today, then there would be good evidence the 2013 Summer sales would start on Thursday 27th June 2013.

Remember.

Steam sale will be starting tomorrow.

The Summer sale has always started exactly four days before the week containing July 4th.

2010 - Jun 24 - Jul 04 - Perils Of Summer Sale
2011 - Jun 30 - Jul 11 - Summer Camp Sale
2012 - Jun 28 - Jul 09 - Summer Sale

Maybe the steam summer sale will have an olympics theme this year and start near the end of july.

"The 2012 Summer Olympic Games [...] are scheduled [...] from 27 July to 12 August 2012."

It makes sense: the summer sales would start on July 12th and would end when the Summer Olympic Games start.

After all, this is the first year which features both Steam summer sales and Summer Olympic Games. So, why not?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

the good news is either way we find out in 32 mins right? RIGHT?

The last two, but yeah, I'll bet on today, too.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Valve are master trolls, I won't be surprised if the sale actually starts in 3 hours.

 

[Blizzard]

Didn't some delevoper say July 12th?

But there is some hope for the sale to start today at least.

Yeah, but then the developer said they had been guessing.

I didn't think they would do it at the same time as a TF2 update since it'd cause exploding servers and stuff, and there were no updated dev packs. But then yesterday they updated dev packs, and released the TF2 update, so presumably today is clear.

The devs were just all told to fuck with us. They lied to us so that the users dont know when its starting.

 

[Kerub]

Ohh, I see.

 

[KarmaCow]

The site will get flooded for the first few hours anyway.

 

[MRORANGE]

or from google images...

That was the old one I did, I also did a gif version:

although I still prefer the Christmas one.

 

[RetroGreg]

LOL, start the hype for next year already.

 

[Wok]

Today is the best day marketing-wise. People were brought back to Steam with the TF2 video yesterday.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Sale? Sale? Sale?

 

[fluffydelusions]

 

[GhostRidah]

Come on Arma 2 sale

 

[SteveWinwood]

Less than half an hour!

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I emailed The Gabe and politely asked him to delay the sale for 2 weeks.

 

[HBroward]

One ticket please, I'd like to board the hype train as well.

 

[xenoflux2113]

although I still prefer the Christmas one.

Christmas one is my favorite as well, and it needs to be in the first post of any new page.

 

[fluffydelusions]

hrm just clicked to see most played games on steam and it doesn't show the usual suspects. E.g. team fortress 2, skyrim etc are no where in the list. hmm

 

[Marsipolami]

what is the name of this skin ?

Aquatic Night by brokenfish.
It can be found and downloaded here: http://www.jasonchen.org/log/2011/05/customizable-steam-skin-aquatic-night/#download

 

[santi_yo]

Today is the day.

 

[TGMIII]

Didn't some delevoper say July 12th?

But there is some hope for the sale to start today at least.

Then he said after that, that he got that from another dev who was guessing.

I mean it might not be today but today is the most probable day.

 

[kharma45]

I was sceptical but now I'm on the hype train.

BASED GABE, LET IT BE TODAY!

 

[The Grim Heaper]

I've gotta get outta here before I'm glued to the computer with hype.

 

[Kerub]

Sounds like a pretty solid source to me!

 

[Wok]

If it is not today, then Gabe is a pattern-breaker trolling master.

 

[Moobabe]

Did you copy over your entire steamapps folder or just the residing folders (i.e. [your account name] and common)?

Edit: Clarity.

I think I copied the entire Steam folder over.

 

[blame space]

is it the sale yet

 

[Tess3ract]

Do I run down to the store and quickly buy food (10 minute walk there, 10 minute walk back) or twiddle my thumbs and wait for the sales to come up, spend money that I really shouldn't, then go shopping?

 

[Mr. Luchador]

If it is not today, then Gabe is both a combo-breaker trolling master.

Whenever I see you post, I always think that people assume we're some sort of Pokemon evolution chain.

Wok evolved into Chriswok

 

[fluffydelusions]

I just realized something, Valve can't count to 3 so if it was this day for the past 2 years well...

 

[Crayons]

Do I run down to the store and quickly buy food (10 minute walk there, 10 minute walk back) or twiddle my thumbs and wait for the sales to come up, spend money that I really shouldn't, then go shopping?

Buy food, that way if the sale doesn't happen at least you have a full stomach and you don't go rioting in the streets.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Every custom steam skin is called ShitSteam. Just google it.

 

[Koroviev]

Frozen Synapse? SpaceChem? Galactic Civilizations 2? Legend of Grimrock? Chime? Dungeons of Dredmor? Lone Survivor? The city builder games?

Just a few games smaller I highly recommend to look at if they werent on your radar.

I have most of those, lol

 

[Nelo Ice]

Wait for the Daily Deals should be in the thread title and plastered all over the OP. With that said it will be absolutely hilarious still seeing it ignored.

 

[Wok]

Buy food. Steam servers are usually really slow during the first two or three hours of sales.

Spending money that you shouldn't is always more fun!

 

[Last Baron]

Today is the best day marketing-wise. People were brought back to Steam with the TF2 video yesterday.

And the leaked Episode 3 artwork. I know I was tempted to play through HL2 again.

 

[TGMIII]

How long have the TF2 item servers been down?

 

[j0hnny_385]

Hahha, this thread is fucking awesome! Seriously! So many pages since I last visited (couple of hours ago)
I love you folks! So much excitement over a SALE.
It's like we're counting down to First Contact. Hahahhaa, brilliant! <3 GAF

Only ~25min until we find out. *fingers crossed*

 

[Wok]

Wok evolved into Chriswok

I actually noticed too.

 

[Petrie]

I'm excited, though keeping my anticipation in check knowing we likely won't get sales! Money ready though!

 

[scorpscarx]

Every custom steam skin is called ShitSteam. Just google it.

Never say never, but I completely agree.

 

[Calavera520]

YES and then look at what we bought until the next sale

nice because I'm looking forward to adding to my 100+ backlog on steam to play through in the few weeks between ending my job and starting grad school at the end of August. but who am i kidding, I'll just play iPhone/iPad games and occasionally log on to Steam to see whatever post summer sale daily deals are going on and to salivate at a huge list of games that i'll never play.

 

[maabus1999]

I was sceptical but now I'm on the hype train.

BASED GABE, LET IT BE TODAY!

LoL for real on that one.

 

[sazzy]

I emailed The Gabe and politely asked him to delay the sale for 2 weeks.

dude if the sale doesnt happen today gaffers are going to rip you apart

 

[fluffydelusions]

Steam is a loot game

 

[Toma]

I have most of those, lol

Just making sure

 

[MRORANGE]

So who will go down first Neogaf or Steam...
