Is there a rule or some kind of way to determine who's posting the thread, or can anyone just say they're doing it and then everyone is like 'okay thanks'? Or are you the official steam thread cretaor around here, since you also made the trade thread among others?
No one has any dibs anywhere on GAF for any thread at any point in time. If multiple people want to work on a thread, we ask that they work together and that no one feel as though it is "theirs". There is a thread in the Community Forum that allows people to claim OT threads just as an expression of interest. In 99% of all cases if two people are interested, one person will defer simply because it's going to be wasted effort otherwise. But if both people feel strongly about it, they need to work together.
Most of the Steam crew seem to have a pretty good relationship with one another so I'm confident MRORANGE and Grief.exe and anyone else interested in making the thread have discussed it. I was under the impression that the person who made the thread was typically whichever Steam-GAFfer who isn't banned
P.S. MRORANGE, I can't remember if I PMed you ModBot thread switchover instructions during your absence. I know Grief and a few others have the instructions should I get hit by a train or whatever. I'll PM them to you though so when you make the thread you can do the cutover process. Edit: PMed
I play warframe from time to time would be intrested.
Is there a new reloaded action or something?
I play Marvel Heroes.

Long story short: back in 2011 CLovingWestBrook (rip) didn't want to make Steam threads anymore, Smuggler stepped in and I recall people hating on his OT for lack of effort, during that time SalsaShark was supposed to make the Steam Holiday sale but got banned for 6 months, I stepped in and created the Holiday OT considering as no one else volunteered for the next thread for the start of the year I just made the next thread and Salsa did the sale threads, it just went sorta went like that I guess
It's more or less a case of who gets banned or not that factors who makes the thread.
Edit: You already sent it

They added it to the AMD never settle gold bundle, friend of mine works at a comptuer shop and sells keys for 20$, split it with my seller , he got 2 I got 1, Can't wait for BF4
Alright, thanks! Makes sense.

sent you 2, not sure if they stack
Thanks, both codes correctly redeemed.
I love these nvidia f2p bundles. They're such a good value if you like f2p games. I myself got the $150 Hawken, Planetside 2, and World of Tanks bundle with my 660ti.

I got and finished Gaiman's latest, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, yesterday afternoon and I couldn't help but imagine the character of Ursula Monkton being played by Saoirse. I feel this thread is to blame.

Cool, is it any good? I'm kind of up and down with Gaiman. I'll get to it eventually, but I have a list of books as long as my arm I want to get to. Reading King's Firestarter right now, but maybe after that.
Incidentally, Joe Wright will be helming the film adaptation and he prefers to work with familiar faces.
Great to always see great effort in these Steam-GAF-Threads, I made a banner, once!
Need to start thinking a title for Halloween too.
Great idea Monk! I don't think the Halloween sale would justify the creation of a separate thread.
Thread VII could fall just before the start of that sale. Could make a Halloween themed Steam thread we could keep using for the following years.

I have to admit I am really unfamiliar with any of his other works besides Good Omens but I thought it was fantastic. The brevity of it all worked very well to help make it feel more dream-like as there was so much information jammed into less than 200 pages. I also felt like he explained exactly as much as he needed to, while still leaving a vast sea (or is it an ocean?) of things left without any explanation at all.
I usually buy into the whole magical realism thing though, so. To make it more in-line with the thread, I'd love to see his writing talent in the game medium. Perhaps something with smaller production value but obvious passion like Kentucky Route Zero.
My brain is psychic. That's all there is to it.

Definitely good for the price. Actually it's a pretty good shooter all around.

It's gunplay is great and the movement system makes you feel like you're playing Mirror's Edge, but with guns, in WWII.
The Halloween Sale is rather small compared to the likes of the Summer/Autumn/Winter Sales as only games that fit the theme are discounted, but that said, it'll surely be noticeably larger this year due to all the related titles that have been greenlit over the past 12 months.

Every time I get a new Humble Bundle, I play all of my Steam games for a weekend. Then I forget about them all. It's a terrible habit.
EDIT: Good Omens is funny as hell. Agreed on the brevity.

Don't forget the Hanukkah sale.
Yep. October, November and December, respectively.
I'll be blaming you for getting my hopes up should it not happen.
At least you play them. I just add them to my account and forget them. Lol
I really liked it on consoles, at the time it released quite a few people trashed it but after Medal of Honor 2010 and Warfighter came out it undoubtedly has the superior campaign.
What is nice is that I have fond memories regarding the themes of these upcoming sales fellow GAFfer.
Halloween is good for those Horror Point & Click games. Many GAFfers getting Amnesia but then they are to afraid of playing it (Cough Cough).
Autumn is that time of the year that days are getting shorter, the sun is weaker and the winds are getting stronger. It's good for those days that you are tired but manage to grab some time before calling the night.
Winter Sale last year was crazy for me because I made that Thread-giveaway-thing and the different time zones among GAFfers were crazy. Never I have drank so much Coffee to keep up with everyone and answering 150 PM's each day was... something hard. But many people were happy which means I was happy too!
In the end I love those threads and the GAFfers who post in it. It's amazing to see the pre-hype about those Daily Deals, then the meltdown. New members joining asking for the same questions that are asked every single time: "Should I get this?" "Wait for the daily deal! OMG". All of this is fun, it can be a game itself if you ask me, voting for the Community Choice, getting that Daily Deals error page every day, getting cards and having a great fun among ourselves. It's a great Community full of great people. None of this would be fun by doing it alone. It's these fine members who made all the Steam threads the very first place to be, to talk and discuss what we like the most in our hobby.
Monk, I totally agree, I got a new laptop just before the summer sale and so was getting back into PC gaming properly for the first time in years, following the steam thread and taking part in all the discussion, waiting for the big sales and laughing at the gifs was a great experience.

Seems like it might be worth considering. Even though it's in Early Access, it sounds like there's already a lot to do in it (Build Space Stations, go to the Moon, go to Mars, etc.).
thank you so much!

Anyone knows if we can prepurchase the Naruto Game sometime?

There's TONS to do, but it also requires going a bit out of your way to learn some basic orbital mechanics, how to do orbital transfers, and a fair amount of tinkering with stock parts to get off the ground. It's a deeply rewarding game though, even in its unfinished state, and there's a major content patch every 2 months or so.

Hurrah, finally finished Rogue Legacy!

I was hoping Routine would be released as an Early Access title in time for the Halloween Sale. The game looks great but I don't think I have the courage necessary to actually play it.
Very true.

Routine is looking good from the little gameplay I've seen. I agree with you, however.
I might even grab a Machine for Pigs one day and just Marathon that with Amnesia all together. Outlast seems to be part of the PS+ program for the PS4 so I'll hold on that one.
I couldn't have said it better myself. Continue being awesome, Monk.

I have a PS4 pre-ordered on Amazon and intend to give PS+ a try, but I'm still not entirely sure if I'll have enough money to cover it without taking a significant chunk out of what I've been squirrelling away for the Autumn Sale, which isn't something I want to do. Even if I opt to cancel the pre-order, it's no great loss as there are few enticing launch window exclusives; my main desire for purchasing a PS4 as soon as possible (within reason) is that the earliest hardware models are invariably the easiest to hack -- my CFW PS3 served well as a multi-region BD player before it kicked the bucket at the beginning of the year.
