It's cringeworthy every time I see it unfold during a publisher weekend. And you know it's the same people who will run off to SPUF to qq and demand a refund once they see the game they bought a few days ago drop down to -75%.

I love those minutes leading up to noon where the store keeps crashing and everyone is refreshing and screaming and no one can buy anything and you have to wait for a sceencap from some lucky dude that happened to get through just to see what's on sale.
I like it when people claim to have no knowledge of rule Number 1 despite being active in the thread.
And during that time Neogaf is down so you are searching on twitter to see that screencap

You're going to hate me but hats and HL3 shouldn't be in the denominator while the price should be.
Someone was asking what that Steam cleaner does
Doesn't look like anything you can't delete yourself but it saves digging through Steamy subfolders.

someone need's to photoshop HL3 into one of those daily deals.
I think I have created something special

Oh right, does Steam mobile use the same servers on regular Steam?

XBOX - RECORD ME LOVING DOWN MY WOMAN GOOD
Well, people like myself who came from the console world never saw sales like 75% off. So I can see why people could go sale crazy if they see the 33% or so.
However, I would never call or email to complain if I bought a game on sale and then the next week it was a much cheaper price. It had to have been worth the original sale price if they bought it, so they shouldn't be entitled to refunds.

Careful, the major media outlets will see your image and start reporting on it like the good journalists they are.

WAIT FOR THE DAILY DEALS!
Daily deals, wait for them
Don't buy anything that is not a daily deal. There are exceptions. Small indie games that are 75-80% off from the start are typically safe. However, it's still best to wait until the last day to buy non-daily deals.

If you've already deleted local content (Removed the game) Steam takes care of this automatically right? When I scanned it only showed a couple of games, both of which were currently installed.
Wait for the Daily Deals. Games will be discounted throughout the sale duration, but if they're featured in daily deals they'll have bigger discount. If the game you want doesn't feature in any daily deal, you can buy it on the last day of the sale for the regular discount.
I can relate, we were all excited by a steam sale once.
Looking around my Steam folder it seems that Steam removes everything except whatever saves/profiles are in the game's subfolder.
Revelations 2012 is 50% off as the daily deal: http://store.steampowered.com/app/201070/
Thanks for this. I picked up the Last Remnant, been wanting to try it out. I'm happy that it can be activated on Steam.

Oh, Steam.
You so funny.
And I thought the sale could have been today...
ROFLMAO. Ok they're literally trolling now. That's too funny.

Was kinda hoping Revelations would be $2.49 when it goes on sale :/

Revelations looks like a slightly prettier SS3.
I know how much you post about how you hate Serious Sam (3?) in this thread, but you really need to try something like Bad Rats or Revelations 2012 (or Fray?). Or maybe Simplz Zoo, but Remy liked that so maybe it's awesome.

Maybe there's this huge box and Gabe puts his hand in to draw a game.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I'll defer to my previous comments regarding Revelations 2012 and Serious Sam:
"It's the game Serious Sam actually is, but it isn't called Serious Sam so it gets the derision that style of game deserves."
