Yea, was really hoping for a better discount, but I got it anyways. Its not like the game isn't worth $5, I guess.

That's fine.
The tunnel man asks for several goodies to open up a shortcut, but said shortcuts only serve as handicaps in disguise since items naturally don't carry over. Unless you specifically want to accustom yourself to the dangers of a given world.
But you gave it a fair shake and if it isn't for you, then that's the way it's gonna be.
I think you'll like Super House of Dead Ninja's based on your purchase list, if you haven't bought it previously.
Add me on Steam if you ever desire any leaderboard competition for Super Meat Boy, all my scores but three are legit (glitched times, fucking Tommy). Anyway, I can walk you through discussing strats for getting all the no-death achievements too, I've got them all and have helped others a lot before.
+1 for La-Mulana too!
holy shit, what is this dark magic?

Yerse! That's awesome, thanks Papytendo!
Not presently, but there is an "on sale" filter, which meets halfway in that regard.
Well, that's something. Thanks!

Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2 is 60% off at GamersGate ($6): http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-SENZA2/sniper-elite-nazi-zombie-army-2
And the four-pack version ($18): http://www.gamersgate.com/DDB-SENZA24P/sniper-elite-nazi-zombie-army-2-four-pack-bundle
I played the first one and actually was surprised how much I liked it. Not perfect and in some ways a cheap cash-in, ending was disappointing, but it was a lot of fun with friends. Had a good variety of weapons, and some fun enemies thrown into the mix. Strategizing with friends, just having a good time finding that perfect sniping spot to pick off zombies, aiming for high-point shots (judged by distance, where you shot them, with what weapon, etc.), and then it all crumbling down sometimes as you all get swarmed and have to struggle to survive... It's not super-lengthy, but I had a good time with it.
Not sure how the sequel compares, but this is the cheapest it's been.

While I cannot remember if that was the actual price, I do remember it being very cheap before; I should have jumped on it. At €5 Knights of the Old Republic 2 is just outside the "sell lots of cards to afford it" range for me, and the lack of sales on the others (more specifically, the original Knights of the Old Republic) is just bizarre. Hopefully this isn't a trend that will continue with the Star Wars games on Steam.
EDIT: On that note, I hope the Christmas sale brings back Coal even though I doubt it will happen. The meta game got me to bought some games I wouldn't have otherwise considered and spend some time playing them. For some (The Binding of Isaac) this was a very positive thing for me.

That Christmas sale was the best sale Valve did in my opinion. I doubt they'll ever do anything like it again, but the meta-game was addicting, and promoted one to not only purchase games, but also play them for rewards.

Great game I believe I got for around that price.
It's an absolutely terrible game. Traveling all around most of Europe in a big rig delivering items to and fro is boring. Managing a trucking business and skills of all your employees is incredibly shallow. Not to mention the lack of variety of trucks available for purchase is depressingly tiny. It is an horrible game and shame on you for purchasing it.
P.S. If you bought the Going East DLC too, which adds more cities to the east of Europe, then you have absolutely wasted your money. Good day to you sir.

I seriously should play Contagion and give my in-depth thoughts on it. People keep asking about it and it seems not many people here have thoughts on it. I bought it back during the Halloween sale and haven't gotten around to playing it yet. A couple friends picked it up yesterday as well.
Also, Contagion is an in-development game inspired by Zombie Panic Source. The person who suggested it was War Z is thinking of Infection: Survivor Stories.

Sounds good to me, go for it. It's a simple but emotional adventure game.

Yep, I definitely agree with everything you've said here, including the bolded unfortunately. It seems like Cards have taken the place of Coal (although collecting coal was far more enjoyable, particularly in the madness of the final few hours where everybody started trading coal for games) and the Voting must be much more popular for them since the last few sales have had it in place of a meta game. We can hope at least!

It was pretty boring to me.
If you're in no rush to play it, just wait for the upcoming holiday sale. Amazon will probably bundle it with a bunch of games.
Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes has been swapped with Fallen Enchantress in the flash deals. I'm wondering if I should grab the map pack DLC since it's 75% off as well now. I've never played the game but hey, maybe when I'll play it it could be useful, right?
I know, I'm part of the problem with these stupid DLCs... =(
Edit: The 75% off the DLC is gone, it's just 50% now. Maybe I should have grabbed it when I saw it at 75% afterall.

It doesn't seem like a huge lapse in judgement since they could, admittedly, easily be confused, but for the future, the easiest way to remember what this: http://store.steampowered.com/app/226700/?snr=1_7_15__13 (War Z) is, is by noticing the money-grabbing coin packs, the 20/100 on Metacritic (which is surprisingly high considering what it actually is), the 16/100 user score, and the consistently negative user ratings (I don't know if User Score and User Reviews only show up on Enhanced Steam). The 20/100 and the coin packs are memorable enough so that you can determine if it's War Z even if you don't remember the name.
There is 0,1% chance there won't be a Christmas sale. I calculated this risk using my Steam Orb of Scrying.
You should. It's really fun.
Yes. That's what Im planning to do with the games that doesn't hit a daily or flash this autumn sale.
You're thinking of Infestation.

It is a very reasonable decision, it's extremely unlikely that there won't be a Christmas sale this year yet, if this supposedly leaked email is real (and it seems to be):
then the same deals are going to be used for both sales. Now, whether or not this is real, and applies to the Daily Deals, we cannot really tell, but the worst thing that happens is that you wait a month, the game you wish isn't a daily, and you buy it for the same price you can buy it now. If you aren't absolutely convinced that you want to start it immediately, and you have other games to play, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with waiting a month and seeing if the price drops.

Impulse buy for me and even though there are few maps at the moment I feel like I got my money's worth.
It's really not that much similar to L4D. It's slower paced, more realistic, scarce ammo, etc...
The potential is evident and I hope they keep steadily adding maps and features. Still, the standout feature, at the moment, is The Hunted game mode. It's incredibly tense

I've bought nothing so far, daily and flash deals have been weak sauce except for Spelunky, which I already have on 360.
