It's just not the same, man.
I'm going to wait about a week before I go back to idling in hope that the drop rates will have returned to normal. I'll probably return to Just Cause 2 tomorrow, even though Van Helsing and Under the Ocean have been beckoning.
Hahahaha!
Actually I'm going to do this fellow GAFfer. Going to try and grab some free time by the end of the day and here I go, again, Backlog!

Are you telling me that I can actually play all the random stuff that I bought on sale?
Well, I'm a Bad Rats Free Person ® , I guess that I'm fine.

I actually have been playing Sleeping Dogs and Chivalry a lot these past days. It's a strange feeling, but not an unpleasant one I have to say.
I know. I'm just saying that the fundamental rights are obviously still in place and so there being a pack doesn't mean anything other than serving as a confirmation of the existence of said pack.

fixed.
There is a good chance he didn't
Night Dive Studios has shown in the past that they don't compensate community members for their work.

You know two things about me, I like circumstantial evidence and I am always very optimistic.

Specifically?
holy hell, Mercenary Kings is a much deeper game than I though.
I'll admit, I didn't do much research on it after I noticed the kickstarter ended. All I knew it was drawn by the same dude that made Scott Pilgrim. I thought it was a simple, yet beautiful Metal Gear clone.
I didn't know there was this entire crafting system and store buy/sell system. Jesus.
I'm glad I managed to buy this.

I won't make it through a fraction of these games by the fall sale.

Lame. Bought CS:GO and I can't connect to any server.
I keep getting "Check your internet connection".

Yep, bought and ready to go (trying to get Testament of Sherlock Holmes finished up first).
I agree, that was really excellent.
Yup, it's way better than it looks at first glance and considering that it's a "Pre-release" I hope they can continue to improve the game beyond just "more missions!".

It's going to sell for $20 at launch.
Haha, that's true.
PlayFirst's catalogue of casual games is one other example that comes to mind. Also, I couldn't help but notice that it was exceedingly rare for Prima guides by themselves to go on sale (they're self-published).
Hmm alright, anyone doing a 4-pack then?
What? A game drawn by Bryan O'Malley? The Scott Pilgrim fan in me wants to get this game, even though I had never heard of it until this post.
That's the spirit!
New metagame: count how many games bought on this sale you haven't even launched once by the time the Halloween sale begins. The winner gets a copy of Bad Rats.
I'll let you decide if the winner is the person with the highest or lowest number.
The seal spirit is strong in this one.
It's a sort of sequel to the best Commodore 64 game (which at first looked like a Super Mario Bros copycat, but in fact it ended up being better).

More incentive not to play them so I can win!
How long were you sleeping for?
Admittedly, that game wasn't a featured discount so, unless you were looking for it, you wouldn't have seen the deal.
Haha, nice try. This is what I'm talking about. That soundtrack was the tits.
No. Paul Robertson, who was the art director of the Scott Pilgrim game.
EDIT: Thinking about it, I didn't click that link since I know his URL by heart but what's on it today is prooooobably NSFW.
I'm sure it'll be in another indie bundle in the near future.
This describes my feelings perfectly. +1
End of the first challenge!
On my right, PorkWing, whose entry redefined beauty:
On my left, maneil99, who submitted this incredible piece of art:
PorkWing's painting is a bit more aesthetically pleasing; the balance between both sides of the picture strengthen the contrast between us mere gaffers and the omnipotent Valve employee. On the other hand, maneil99's drawing does represent more accurately, and with a welcome touch of humour, the events that unfolded in the Steam Sale threads... this is a fierce battle.
The winner is... PorkWing
I'm PMing you!

I thought it looked familiar, happen to be any 4-packs going on?

I am an usher for a movie theater so I get home like 12:30 at night and im dog tired. I woke up at 8am next day.

this is why it's so hard to buy indie games early. You wait long enough and everything ends up in a cheap bundle.
Playing games can sometimes prove to be an enjoyable alternative to idling for cards.

Much to my wife's chagrin, I am a GAFer. I just like to buy them. Who has time to play them?
I mean, the dude(s) who made the Scott Pilgrim game graphics on Consoles.
I don't know who they are, per say...
True, that's pretty scummy of them.
