I just spent nearly $200 dollars on Steam. I can now stop buying games for the next 2 years and I'll be all set.

Mwa hahahaha.

You are addicted. It doesn't stop. No matter how much you try, it never stops!

Just purchased STALKER before the deal ended. Five minutes to new deals! Can't wait to hand over more money.

Next year, all i'm asking for christmas are games off steam.

Painkiller is some seriously good shit, just picked it up for the first time. For £3/$5 its a no brainer imo.

Hell yes!

It captures that feeling that Serious Sam mastered of crossing a checkpoint and seeing like 50 enemies just rushing you, ready to get slaughtered. :lol

It checkpoints often too, so it's perfect for pick up and play.

Oh, and humongous bosses and a Metal soundtrack.

It would be nice if Valve offered gift cards for steam. That would be a nice addition added to the service heading into 2010.

I was going to buy Stalker: Clear Sky for £4 but then I saw this

Oops, this is embarrassing. Due to high demand we have temporarily run out of unique keys for this title. You may, by all means, purchase at the awesome sale price but may not be able to play until we receive more unique product keys. It shouldn't take too long, we have sent armed guards to the publisher's house to get them out of bed, drive them to their secret lair and produce more keys.

:lol they've run out of stock! digital distribution has failed, abandon ship, ABANDON SHIP!!

I remember Steam running out of Mount & Blade keys when it was on sale for $7.50. It took them about a day to restock.

So many awesome deals, I want to buy so much D:

Restricted myself to £20 though, I'm sure there's still more to come.

Markup on Sniper Elite is outrageous!
Or maybe that's an 8

How is Serious Sam HD anyway? Worth it?
It's exactly the same as before. Which is to say: The best manic FPS since Doom. With better textures. I love it.

serious sam is a big maybe.


I guess I should have got mirrors edge or gta 4, but I've already played through them both on 360 so meh.

I already own l4d2 and the id super pack.
 
wow so they've established games on the overall sale can be included in the dailies.

I'm not buying anything except the dailies until Jan 3

And I'm glad i held off on the id super pack. Its now even cheaper!
