I'm waiting on Revelations 2012 to go on sale because I love awful games.
I do want to try it out for real, but just not at the current price.

ARMA 2: Combined Operations!

I purchased the vanilla ARMA 2 on day one, 3 years ago now? Because of that $50 out lay, I'm reluctant to drop another $30 just to experience Day Z.

Aw man!

We're at the point now for me where its just not worth it for me to sweat the small sales with the summer sale so close.

Consider yourself warned then. Going to yell at people in the Summer sale if this comes up as a deal and if they dont buy it :p

I'm toying with the idea of completly skipping on the whole summer sale this year... I have too many games already and there is always the winter sale...

I'm thinking of doing the same, but dammit, some of those sales are just too good to pass up. But I'm looking forward to the achievement and contest stuff, that's always good fun

We all know the yelling and mocking is reserved for those that do not follow the 1st rule.

Taking advantage of a 75% sale is 100% acceptable. Rarely a game goes over 75% and I doubt that it'll drop price before the summer sale.

I understand the feeling, at least in terms of completely new games. I'm just looking to pick up old id software games.

For completely new purchases this year I'm looking at Starbound and maybe Binary Domain if it gets a good sale. I just have too many games to justify getting new releases.

Amazing. Unfortunately I own them on Steam, Superbrothers on iOS. I'd like Bastion on Steam but not paying $15 just for that.

If you haven't got any of the games, it's an incredible bundle.

I have Psychonauts and Bastion but I'm not really interested in the others. Seems like a bundle for people with slightly offbeat tastes.

That's a good bundle, might bite for Bastion and Superbrothers. And Amnesia which looks great and I will never ever play myself.

How do the Steam keys work, is it one key per game or for the entire bundle?

Bought two copies, total of 8 bucks (7 for the entire bundle + bastion for my cousin, 1 for Limbo and Amnesia for me, since I already had all the other games, including bastion).

Best Bundle in a while.

It's usually 2 keys: 1 for the main bundle and 1 if you beat the average.

If you enjoy playing games along side other humans (like if you have good people skills and cool friends), I highly recommend Saint's Row 3 in co-op.

Pickers? From the Steam store:

Get ready for the ultimate treasure hunt! Your shop, Rusted Gold, has shelves to fill, auctions to run, and money to make—and you can only do that with the best finds.

Check out the dozens of locations from run-down farms to back road antique shops to abandoned storage units to see if you can stumble upon your next great treasure. What do you do once you’ve found something? Shine it up or sell it as is to see if you can turn a profit, or if you hit bust. Haggle with crazy characters as you try to build your reputation for having the best picks around and learn more about what makes each person tick. Consult with an expert to avoid being hoodwinked! Combine items to increase their values and learn how to increase your odds along the way.

Price your picks to sell them in your shop, or take your chances on the auction block to see if you can make an even bigger profit!

Is this like that other shopkeeping game (I forget its name, was anime style)? It sounds like point and click adventure meets store manager sim or something. :p
