OTs can't be posted until the event is known to be occurring. So not for another two and a quarter hours yet. I believe SalsaShark has a thread with a killer banner all ready to roll though.

all joking aside, it kinda seems confirmed... the daily deal is ending 10 minutes before 10am :\
I imagine him pacing in front of his PC every day 12:59pm waiting to unleash that thread.

OT has already been posted, it's hiding in the mod section :|
Until the official sale banner goes up in Steam / on steampowered.com it doesn't count.

Hmm... Sword of the Stars is Steam right? I noticed that it's cheap in GamersGate.
Afraid of a OT2 before the sale even start eh?

The impending doom of this thread if the sale doesn't happen, is ominous.

listen to the mad man
btw, the procedure today is that i'm going to lock this thread as soon as the sale goes up, but i'm not moving/unlocking the other one until someone pms me the daily deals section, so there'll be a brief period with no active steam thread.
Hoping for a deal on Just Cause 2
goes on sale every single sale. it's one of the most commonly discounted games, honestly.
Im actually staring at my phone while on a break of preparing lights for a concert.
Thread has already been posted (but hidden) since im not on my computer nor will I be by the time of the sales. Stumpokapow will move it and unlock it when the sales go up
I usually sleep past 10amPDT but of course today of all days I had to wake up unable to go back to sleep 5 hours too early! At least got some errands done.
Aaannyways,
bring it Gaben!!

Bumping this question
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Mine makes for a better mental image, but yours sounds like more fun
At the last sale I followed rule nº1 until the last day, a Sunday. And in any of those days the Unreal pack got a better deal so I decided to purchase the pack but my bank decided to block my cc for that day, and that day only so I could not get any of those games and I really REALLY wanted to play ut1. I'm not making that mistake again, fuck rule nº1. I'm buying it in the first day of the sale. FYI guys.

I hope you're cool with having the blood of many GAFers on your hands.
Also as I said dont get your hopes up with flashiness, its basically a carbon copy of last year's thread with a new banner and some diferent stuff. Its simple with mostly text and not gifs or anything like that for those browsing on their phones or with slow connections. Focus is on keeping it updated!

I'm confused... so the game itself isn't Steam, but that one being sold unlocks in Steam yes?
EDIT:
According to the comments, it's not Steam?

I hadn't even noticed that, very good point. I've just topped up 25 as a result so hopefully I can make that last for a few days (not very likely). It definitely would be funny though if it was an incredible joke and another midweek sale begins immediately afterward though

It's not Steamworks and the copy sold on Gamersgate doesn't activate on Steam. On Gamersgate only Steamworks games [such as Sword in the Stars 2] will activate on Steam.

SOTS 1 doesn't activate on Steam.
SOTS 2 does.

Ahh I see. Oh well. But I heard Sword of the Stars II suck. I wonder if these games will get more than 75% off in Steam summer sale.
I wonder what DRM that "Other DRM" is being mentioned there.

Already own Bad Rats, I'm good.
Thread gets fuckin nuts.
I asked both mrorange and biohazard to pm stump with a screenshot of the dailies as soon as they go up, so if it takes a while you can totally blame them
Because people will alternate between threads with different questions, better to leave it all in one thread to have everything contained there.

Just wondering do you have any idea if they are sold in Gamestop stores in Ireland? I've searched gamestop.ie but I can find no mention of them being available and I'd rather not spend an hour going to and back from Gamestop if they don't have them available. If not it's absolutely no problem since I'll just continue using the credit card but as with NaM I'm hoping it doesn't get blocked during the sale.
EDIT: Just to clarify I know that they were only available in the US when they were launched but I haven't heard if they were made available worldwide and I haven't been able to find anything about them launching elsewhere so I'm hoping you'd know.
Amazon had them pretty cheap a while back (still? I don't know) in the paradox pack for 12$.
Challenge accepted
I remember hearing they are currently US only. I hope that they will be made internationally avaiable also.

This is why:
Same reason why we lock pre-conference E3 threads before we unlock the E3 conference threads. People need a valve to vent some steam and we'd prefer that not be by spewing diarrhea everywhere over GAF
