In the summer, the long ass summer
The steam sale starts tonight!
In the summer, the long ass summer
The steam sale starts tonight!

(Chorus)
Gabeno! Gabeno!


I should sleep :/
or stop watching the Lion King :/
 
I just want to say the steam sales are terrible this year, and there is NOTHING for me.

That's what they always say, not realising for discounts for individual games there's no point in making new listings for them when they could change the current listings.

Six hours and a little over 45 minutes to go, ladies and gentlemen.

Finally sorted out my wishlist.

Man, this has been an anxious couple of weeks. Between this and waiting for my Nexus 7 I'm about to have a nervous breakdown from lack of sleep.

Haha I know exactly what you mean. I've been waiting for the Steam sale for what feels like months! Then expecting the Nexus 7 to ship for a few days now. With the Steam sale hopefully coming tonight, that should take my mind off the N7 delivery.

Yeah can't wait to see what the steam store looks like on my n7 when it arrives ;) (full version.. Can't handle the terribad mobile version of the store).

Hmmm, really want Total War 2: Shogun but it isn't available in my area, what's the easiest way to get it? Have someone gift it to me?
 

Stumpokapow

listen to the mad man
For some reason I have a feeling this sale will be underwhelming to many.

The Steam sale is always underwhelming if:
- Your only interest is AAA retail major publisher games released in the last few months
- You are looking for SPECIFIC games instead of just basking in the stuff that is put on sale and giving it a chance
- You already own everything

We see this every sale. Last Christmas it was "LOL Skyrim and Batman AC not selling for $7.50? Sale sucks."

Jesus.....people are whipped up into a frenzy in here aren't they? Me personally, I've evolved. A great Steam sales day to me if one where I peruse the days sales items and then pump my first as I realize I don't plan to buy anything. Now that I think of it, Valve should probably run a hotline. You know, like the ones for gambling addiction.

"This week, the Steam summer sale of 2012 commences. Every year, thousands of people lose their shit and plan to sell their kids to the local travelling circus to pay for games they won't be able to play until 2036. If this sounds familiar, please call the Valve Sales Action Hotline at 1-800-HI-GABEN. Together we can stamp out backlogs. Or at least prevent you from being arrested for gross neglect of your family".

Happy Steam sale everyone!

We're all fucked
 
If I could make gifs I'd do one out of this Braveheart video, sticking some expensive game price tags on the riders and Lord Gabens face on one of them. Mel Gibson would shout "Hold, hold, hold...NOW, DAILY DEALS!!" and on the spears we'd see wallets.

Wait for the Daily Deals

R* Hit Collection sounds pretty good but Max Payne 3 would probably keep the price up. And I can't really justify it when I already own it on 360. Probably just stick to ToLC.

We'll see if I buy anything at all in the end. I just want good games of my liking I don't have and void of any other DRM aside from Steam itself. That's why I didn't buy Batman or others the last time.

I'm really excited about the sale starting. But not trying to swoop myself up into the hype and end up buying everything like last time. +-$360 during the winter sale. NEVER AGAIN!

I just want to say that I love the Hype in this thread and all the GAFfers in it.

May my Library does not level up to 3 digits, so I can know I did not fall into the trap.
