Why did I just waste an hour of my life. Goodbye everyone.
Not all. I had 3 TF2 items this morning. Now I have 4.

So where's my ticket for 33% off Valve titles, or even a Lump of Coal? Can't find it anywhere.
Yes, you would.

This might have been asked earlier in the thread, but using the Steam Sale Wikia link. Could I work through my games and earn the achievements and unlock before they appear on the task page?
You can do them before they appear as daily achievements, yes.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Bethseda has always fully supported Lord Newell in terms of sales. I fully expect us to get a Fallout Sale and an Elder Scrolls franchise sale at some point. Skyrim might not end up that cheap though. I expect better deals on Oblivion/Fallout/Morrowind.

SSF4AE is $19.99, should I buy it or not?

so who's got better Photoshop skills than me...
Yep, I "won" the same thing.
It's brilliant, though. What we're essentially winning are incentives to buy even MORE games.
The achievements for the Valve games (TF2, L4D, etc) have been there since Thursday or so. Don't know about other publishers' games.
Yes. 4 of todays were unlocked for me as soon as the sale started.
It's probably just that the Steam side of things is still obliterated by all the connections and just isn't working properly right now

be patient my friend, it may go on daily deal! it's on sale until jan 1 so unless you have to have it now then just wait to see if it shows up on a daily deal.
i almost pulled the trigger on it as well but i'll wait!

You know. I really wish Valve would plan ahead. Every sale this shit happens.
No daily deal, no buy.

It's pretty much impossible to get around the store right now but has anyone else noticed that there seems to be zero EA in there? I can't bring up all the publisher catalogs right now but it does have a bunch of names on the banner and none of them are EA.
EA, please don't wrap this origin noose all the way around your neck

can you stack coupons?
Just wait till it goes on sale or get into a 4 pack because it will probably be that until january 2nd unless it's part of a daily deal.

I like the cut of your jib fellow mod who edited the title lol
Question:
What am I missing? We get 25%-50% Valve coupons. Right now every Valve game will be off at 50% or higher, why should we use these coupons at all if we can ONLY use them on the Valve games currently available and those will be cheaper now anyway?

I don't like it being luck based either. I much preferred the summer lot of free DLC that did not cost much in the first place. I suppose the advantage of this is the payoff could be greater (coupons) but random chance always brings out the worst in people and its not nice to see people get upset over these small things.
I goes something like this:

Neo-Steam and the GAF logo becomes grey.
If only it were. Its random something that isn't coal. Could be a coupon, could be a game.
Nothing. thats the free one everyone gets. Its a marketing ploy. You'll still see some making about 50 accounts, trading them to their master account and trying to tradebait them
Also there is a small hope a Valve game goes on sale between January and March.

What a jerk! :/
Edit:
On the second day of Steam Sales, GAben gace to me... A 504 Error for all to see
Amnesia is a must buy for anyone who thinks that they are too old to cry. This game will show you otherwise...

God Bit.Trip Runner is aweful... I hate it... why do I have to start from the start again? But it is somehow addictive.

This is Capcom. That deal is probably a mistake.

Server overloads just part of an elaborate anti-sopa ARG
Because they're actually for the secret Episode 3 launch next month.
Yes.
Thank you, sir.
I doubt it, They have had there games on specials before, it's not that unusual.
