This sucks so hard. Shitty daily. Weekend deal that everyone has. At this point I'll just expect the summer sale to be all indie games anyway. Twist the knife a little more Steam!

Meanwhile Amazon has been doing some pretty aggressive deals like the current DA combo for $10.

The fact that a game called Analogue: A Hate Story is the Steam daily deal convinces me someone at Valve reads NeoGAF....

I'm glad I downloaded the demo. $6 saved.

Steam Summer Sale is like Black Friday for gamers.

Imagine a frothing crowd outside Nordstroms the day after Thanksgiving arriving several hours early, only for the store to open at the scheduled time without the slightest difference in prices/inventory.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

The problem is that, for the past two years, the Steam Summer Sale has started on the last Thursday in June.

That would've meant that this is the third year in a row in which that would've remained constant.

Third in a row.

Third.

3.

Valve.


The battle was lost before it was fought.

Finally, a reasonable assumption based off multiple data points.

After being a PC gamer for a few weeks, I just googled and entered the Origin website for the first time. That'll teach you Gabe. Keep it up and I might even go as far as clicking around on the website.

The reason I'm upset it isn't today is I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I WILL SPEND THE REST OF MY WORKDAY NOW.

Steam summer sale tomorrow!

If I were to buy a DoW game which would you recommend? I or II?

I am not really big on too much micromanagement...do these games have it? I haven't played a RTS in a while.

And when it's not tomorrow...

Steam summer sale Saturday!

Four S's there, so it defeats the cursed number three. That must be the date!

Except it's a sale that has only existed for two years. People are extrapolating supposed start times of said sale using two data points, and then get disappointed when their prediction is wrong.

It is a curious thing, the steam sales. We all know that our wallets in this world are limited, and that eventually all of us will end up penniless. And yet it is always a surprise when you refresh the page to see - nothing. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.

Just start with Dawn of War II. I'm not the biggest strategy fan, but loved DoW II for it's small squad focus and RPG elements. Plays like a mix of Diablo and Company of Heroes.

But they don't activate on Steam...so I can't buy the DA games! I pass on a lot of sales if there is no Steam Key. I am so weak.

I've always thought someone should make a Steam RPG with RPG Maker where you have to collect all the games in the Kingdom of Gaben.
Click to expand...

The wizard Nigiro has spirited away all the games from the Steam Kingdom in a misguided effort to protect their IPs—but now, hidden away from everyone, they've begun to fade into obscurity and will eventually disappear. Beseeched by King Gaben, you are tasked to find and return them so the Sacred Summer Sale can commence. Join forces with the ogre Gog, the priestess Desura and G.G. the rog—

—okay, I'll stop. :(

Yeah, I wish Analogue's art was less shitty. I've read that it's reasonably well done, but I mean...it's a visual novel. The visual part is so essential that it's nearly impossible for me to excuse it when it looks this halfassed. It makes me wish the developer had just written a book or done some kinda text adventure instead.
