What is everyone doing at this very moment. Go:

This is how cards work = Xelios wins, don't even start trying.

That's quite accurate

 

[Tragicomedy]

What's the obsession with being ready to nab a game the moment the sale goes live? I shant remind people how stock works on Steam

This is how Steam sales always work. The minute the deals get posted, everyone will start complaining that they're underwhelming or they already have every game listed.

Prepare for five pages of "Nothing for me today!" posts.

Studying for a Number Theory exam that I have tomorrow. Yeah...

A fellow GAFfer and a fellow student! What's your major, where do you attend?

I'm a psychology major and go to Suny Purchase near White Plains, NY

On that note, anyone here live in update NY?

When does the Steam store update usually? 1 pm eastern right?

Was able to sell some more crates, got all 10 supposed types of Mystery Cards, lets hope it was worth it.

 

[NinjaCatfish]

Most people who have been here the longest had Half-Life 2 as their first Steam game.

That was the first game to require the client.

Pretty sure I made my Steam account when I wanted to try out this Counter Strike thing that was included in my Half Life GOTY Edition box. WON was dead so I had to make a Steam account but it all fell apart because I wasn't gonna be downloading those updates over 28.8k!

Signed back into the account years later after forgetting that I even put that HL key into the client, and found I already owned HL and a bunch of other mods like Ricochet and it was the coolest.

Im prepared for
"Steam wont load the store page!"

"Cant see the sales, steam keeps giving me a server error!"

Just woke up. Today is the day.

Do we have a rough ETA?

Not rough, it should start in two hours and nine minutes.

Creative writing from 10-11:50 should keep me occupied long enough for the sale.

Also "Valve is a bunch of bait and switch scammers" when a price takes a few minutes to update.

I'd say "in before itshappening.gif" but that image has been posted about 200 times in this thread already.

 

[aramanKain]

Well keys can run out but there is also the possibility of pricing errors, like recently with the Sonic Franchise pack going on sale by mistake.

When's the last time keys ran out during a sale? I honestly can't remember.

Price mistakes, ok, that I can understand...

 

[M.D]

I bought/have Far Cry 3 on Steam, but when I actually play it it opens Uplay first. Can I still buy the DLC through Steam, or do I have to buy it on Uplay?

It uses Uplay even if you bought it on Steam

It looks like you can only upgrade to the Deluxe version using Steam

Far Cry® 3 Deluxe Bundle DLC

I don't know if that includes all the DLC that's been released

HOW LONG UNTIL THE STEAM SALE?

I'll never forget when Prey "sold out".

Now that's dedication. That's a lot of badge crafting there

 

[Snakethesniper]

A friend just got an email from PayPal promoting the sale. It's real.

Also Retro City Rampage and Gateways are on sale for 11 days starting today. 11 + 11 = 22 July which is approximately the last day of the steam summer sale.
oh yes, they have an agreement to price-match offers made by steam, so this is an other clue!

Btw the only proof needed is that the midweek ends earlier.

I think they ran out Burnout Paradise keys a while back, but yea I don't think there will be a Prey like situation and everyone should get their keys eventually.

Same here, but with 'working' in the past tense and without a conclusion .

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I completely forgot about that TimeShift game. I'm moderately interested in it, despite looking like a fairly mediocre shooter.

Advent Rising seems kinda interesting, but I don't know if I care enough to get it.

Oh. You should be well-suited with Number Theory then. Screw going college pace, you're supposed to impress your professors and outshine everyone else in class by being well-established with the material already. Then you're able to get professor recommendations for internships. Has doubt ever crossed you as to whether mathematics interests you? I was doing pre-med but I couldn't keep my hands off the keyboard and as a result I didn't do too good in pre-med because I loved programming more.

I would say about 2 hours and 5 minutes left fellow GAFfer.

Not sure If I go for a Quick run/jogging on the park or not. Hmm.

 

[More_Badass]

This is still my favorite post from this thread. I just keep imagining the guy with a room of little seals on bookshelves.

I should learn to plan for these seals, I always go wild when seals appear and try to snatch up as many of them as I think are interesting. I've got seals that have been sitting sealed in my library of seals and I don't know if I'll have the time to treat them like a procured seal should be treated. I admire all of you guys, with official seal plans, for your organization.

I'll never forget when Prey "sold out".

That is why I think I'm going to pick up Advent Rising.

Majesco is going to fold or Valve will run out of keys eventually. Either way, we are out an underrated title.

 

[JordanKZ]

I made my steam account December 2004, when HL2 was supposed to be released and was promptly delayed. AMD (then ATi) ran a promo where you got HL2 when purchasing a Radeon 9600 Pro/XT or XTPE card.

Due to the delay, Valve gave everyone free copies of all their current games. Steam was utter shit back then. The client was atrocious.

9 years on and I'm 5 games short of 800. This sale isn't going to help that number.

Is one of the objects in your apartment a vacuum?

Same exact story for me except for number of games. I bought the 9600 for hl2, put it in, and been a member since. Loading between levels took foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrr with the 9600 on my shitty drsktop

Not really like that. Here Number Theory is only avaiable in the Mathmatics Course Plan. It's not aviable to other majors.

I've had my doubts since the first day of classes, but I think it's kind of normal.

Thanks for the heads up, will probably buy Advent Rising as well then.

Not quite - I used to study the places that rocket can't yet take us.

Now I work in IT and code Enhanced Steam on the side.
