I guess I might need to start selling cards again soon since these sales are still good.
Chronological order is Origin, 1, 2, Oath.
Order of release is 1, 2, Oath, Origin.
I'd go with the latter.

German? Interested in the The Raven? Grab it here for 14,90€! http://www.gameliebe.com/the-raven-vermaechtnis-eines-meisterdiebs-online-kaufen.html Even less with rpggameliebe10%.
No idea if it works from other countries.

I'll probably buy it sometime in August, I'll report back once I have given it a proper spin.
I liked what I saw in the GiantBomb Quick Look.
All these giveaways and I probably don't have more than a few posts in the previous thread and zero in this one (excessive lurking is a serious problem)...
Anyhow, because I loved both Trines and want to support a local developer a bit more, first one to quote me with an image of the thief gets a Trine 2 Complete Gift.

Just relapsed and bought Ys Origins and Oath. Fuck!
In my few hours of Blood Dragon:
The "quests" all are really uninteresting
the guns aren't very satisfying until you get things like four barrels and explosive rounds
The sound is good and script is funny
Compared to games like Tomb Raider and Last Light which are more graphically impressive games, the game runs like shit on my HD4890 having to run it on medium-low for 30+ fps (except in fights which drops to 20s)
The exploration is very unexciting and boring, even the main character seems to think so.
So far it's merely ranking a "meh" or "it's alright"

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
And its Uplay.
I'm glad I held off, Call of Juarez looks like it might satisfy that itch. Or Hard Reset if you haven't played it. Both do not have any DRM other than Steam and have Achievements as well.
Hard Reset + Enhanced Steam video I put together http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7fCxJ5hMFQ
To be fair, that's because the game lost its Community's Choice vote: if it had won, it would have been 50% off then, too.
Now that said, there should be some client-side stuff that doesn't do things that would be detectable as anomalous activity / traffic being sent to Valve. Like having Chrome change the font color of prices that are below a certain threshold after you've received that data.
But yeah, if Valve sees that there's only a few milliseconds of time elapsing between them sending the data containing the buy page and them receiving your request, imho, that would set off red flags that the "accept SSA" confirmation is being bypassed too quickly for human input.

I hope we get Expeditions: Conquistador and Incredipede tomorrow.
Hah, not exactly the thief I had in mind, but pm your email or add machinaea on Steam.

Awesome thread. 
Never heard of KR0 before today, so I'll have to look into it. Luckily (or not), I can't get anything in the sale anyways.

Don't worry, you did good!
Would be awesome if tomorrow's daily is Incredipede.
But but but it was the last day of the summer sale! GAF LIED!!!
I brought this on myself, it was obvious we would see a similar offer for KR0 since it was a proposed community deal
The first act will last you anywhere from ~an hour to 2~3 depending on how thorough you want to be. (I haven't played the second act myself just yet.)

Nah, one hour if you read the text.
This is to make up for the Dragon's Lair thing. Good. Good.

A general rule for sales for me is "If this was even cheaper tomorrow would I be pissed that I bought it now". Helps to make a good decision most of the time.
Reposting CheesecakeRecipe's brilliant write-up on Kentucky Route Zero for anyone who is still on the fence.

Ouch, that's some bad luck. Out of the near 200 cards I've sold since the Summer Sale began I've never sold one for less than .10 profit to myself. I've only had two foils -- one was useless (.78) the other was fantastic (7.50).

Add Ys to that.

I believe only 2 of the 5 episodes have been released so far.
