They need to stop burying these weeklong deals. There needs to be a permanent fixture in the client/webstore under the mid-week/weekend and daily deals section.
I may bite on master Reboot. Almost bought it during the winter sale but I spent too much money on Forstivus and the winter sale.
Ah, I'm a dumbo and misread the price, haha. The coupons were handed out to owners of Hotline Miami.
February 1st.

Valve hasn't been very good at using announcements lately. And by "lately" I mean "for at least a year."
Ah cheers. Decisions, decisions 60% off now or wait for 75% off at a later date?
Sometimes, it's on the front page. Sometimes, it's not.
No, I have no idea why either. These are all things that are piss easy to automate.
What am I, chopped liver? =p
This was a great read.
Installing a cpu for the first time ever is quite nerve-racking, that's for sure.
Can't wait for you to get back in to Dark Souls, and post those adventures as well.
It's displayed weird. Instead of seeing the -50%, I was seeing just -20% and thought maybe the price hadn't updated or something.
It's inconsistent because JShackles hasn't fixed it for them.
Every single time I want to play Dark Souls it just hangs on the 'preparing to launch' window. Verifying the game files always results in 'one file failed to acquire' after which 'Performing first time setup: Microsoft Games for Windows - Live Redist Package'
Every single time. Ugh. Takes me 10 minutes to even launch the damn game.

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.
jshackles is trying! I'm starting to think that Valve just... doesn't like me.

sure about that? tried using both i hade here, and steam only lets me select one coupon D:
If you're not going to play the game in the near future there's no harm in waiting since it'll likely be 66% off the next time it's discounted.
I bought the DDE and the price was knocked down from $6.99 to $5.59.

A few snippets from my Master Reboot review, since this is one of the few times I've ever seen it go on sale:

Maybe. Not sure yet, current tests inconclusive.
But we like you, Jsheezy!
Why buy the cow, etc etc. Maybe you should add a feature to ES that adds hats to people's avatars based on their level.
As in the coupon stacks with the sale, not that you can use multiple coupons on a single item.
I'm sure they would if they could pay full attention, but everyone over there is too busy working on Half-Life 3, Steam OS, and fruit smoothies/espressos.
Expected, but still a disappointment. Thanks for the thoughts.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Lords of Football still has one of the best pieces of art on Steam:

From what I've been able to gather, the "Steam Web Team" at Valve number about 4-6 employees total. Obviously there are others that handle certain aspects of Steam (like, the client, support, business development, etc) but the number of people who are adding features and functionality to the Steam website is pretty small.
Given how big Steam is, as a distribution platform, I'm surprised they're not actively looking for people like me to help implement so many of the features that the site obviously needs.
Play? What is this play thing you mention?
Well I've got it for my Vita as part of PS+ and despite being free I still haven't started it up. But sales are like shiny things to a magpie with me. Which I'm sure you can relate to
Don't do that. Demon's Souls alone deserves foregoing that option and it's not certain whether the SEGA petition has any effect. And then there are other games, so PC cannot fully substitute a PS3 no matter how you flip it.
Have you SEEN
Great story Copons! I particularly love the fact that your cat is called Brodo
Her full name is BRODO SWAGGA 41 (all caps lock)!
The most awesomest thing of it is the fact that is a SHE, and everyone is super bothered by the fact that she has a somewhat male name.

It actually seems to have a much more efficient air routing.
Remember, Valve seems to only want multidisciplined people, because of their precious culture nonsense.
Yup. Wondering if it's a server thing.
down for me too
How much do you like Demon's Souls compared to Dark Souls? Just played through (and 100%ed the achievements

Steam Client has been shit since turn of the year, I wonder what's going on over there. Servers up and down, Community dropping all the time. Chat doing the 'netsplit' thing you'd see on iRC back in the day.

If only they had single-discipline employees HL2 wouldn't have been a disappointment.

Try installing it. It should recognize the files and not download anything it doesn't need. Probably should back up any saves you have before doing so.

That's an awesome and inspired name!
I could never be imaginative with names... my first cat was Furia (and she was awesome), then came Scemola (he was cute, but really dumb), Gatta (we named her like this just as a joke and it sticked), Buddha, Nana and Elefant il Guercio (Elefant because he was pretty fat, but "il Guercio" came later, when he came back one day missing an eye and limping visibly).

I'm looking for work as a UXD. I have a degree in astrophysics and currently work as a network admin who holds numerous industry certifications.
I think I qualify as Valve's special type of "weird".
That doesn't really surprise me. When I visited them a few years back for a photo tour/website interview, I was amazed to discover just how few people they had in areas every other studio has two to three times the number and they produce less work.
Even with the amount of artists they have, who usually pull double duty in other areas like programming or design, I was amazed to see just how little they have for just straight commercial art and web design. At one point I think the janitorial staff outnumbered them when it came to specific work.
All my love to Alden Kroll and the rest, but they could afford and benefit from more even with their unique set-up of "healing a team.

For me personally, I found Demon's Souls to be the better game.
With worlds (stages) they were able to more craft better designed areas in terms of atmosphere, enemy placement, sound affects I believe. Tower of Latria for example is by far my favourite "level" by From Software because it so fully immersed me into a world as I played the game in the dark with a good sound system to really make all the rattling of chains, prisoners moaning, and enemies shuffling around get to me.
Dark Souls is a better designed game with bosses that are better designed, but there were quite a few sections that I felt lacked something because it had to fit the connected open world. It's quite keen how everything does fit together and you can see everything at once
Of course in my mind this is like comparing Castlevania 1 to Legend Of Zelda 1. So a matter of tastes and tolerance for certain things does come into play. Also I realise that for many, it's a "which did you play first" that will make one better than the other.

I'd say they are equally fantastic. Demon's Souls is better in some departments (like the atmosphere, perhaps level design as there are some outright bad segments in Dark Souls and it's very steady in Demon's). The gameplay is essentially the same, but I thought that Dark Souls had, on the average, more enjoyable bosses (although a lot of them were basically copied from Demon's).

Oh come on, at least change the wording when you port your mobile game to PC.
Sounds suspiciously like flOw. >.>

Those fucking morons. I give them 6 months tops to still be in business.
Invest in uPlay now.
I'd argue that most of Half-Life 2's successes are a result of single-discipline employees, like Viktor Antonov, Kelly Bailey (the soundtrack does not get enough credit) and the person responsible for the facial animation tech. Not surprisingly, these are three really important aspects of the way people respond to video games.

Then I have no idea what's up with Valve. Do we need to do a petition for you or something?
You seem a little extreme.
