I had something in my steam inventory (I'm assuming it was the getting started gift), but now I can't see anything. It's not gone forever is it?

Do you any chance get a gift for gifting someone something? Just curious as I gifted my friend Day of Defeat: Source.

yup.
But it's not as if I could buy anything, so I'll wait for the summer or next year. :\

Jesus. I don't recall anything nearly this bad last year or during the summer sale.
These error messages and empty inventories, etc. are fucking terrible.
What a shitty way to start their sale when you can't access anything.

I have a bet ongoing with JaseC. I bet him a $5 game that Skyrim would be 30% off or more by the end of the Steam holiday sale.
I'm still confident in my prediction.

It has been $25 in an Origin sale already.
It has great atmosphere and a feeling of isolation. Definitely worth the purchase.

You have 24 hours. It's been 3. Calm down.

May not sound like much to single people or comfortable people, but we were really hurting at the time. It was a month after our wedding and we had, at the time, a 2 year old and quite a few bills. I ended up getting 75 bucks for Xmas that she said was fine to blow on whatever, despite my pleas to put it towards bills. So I randomly bought things on Steam. I knew I went over 75 at one point, but the little purchases that I thought I would be "safe" with ($1 here, 2.50 there) added up.
It...was not fun.
To this day, seeing "Steam" appear on our bank statement is a bad thing.
Nobody here thinks the oldschool id games like DOOM and Quake are gonna get daily deals do they? I'm finally making the decision to buy DOOM and Quake for the first time.
Between the DOOM and Quake franchises which ones are worth getting? Any mods I need to know about? What about Unreal?

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
I seriously doubt Arkham City goes below $25, bro. No need for sarcasm.
Ditto that!

Amnesia was what I was waiting for during the Thanksgiving sale. Glad to see it here now.
Kind of wish I had more of the games for Achievements... I only have a handful of them- not even enough to get 7 lumps of coal.
Valve should really include a free HDD in the Grand Prize.
Was waiting for this during Thanksgiving too. This and $10 Skyrim.

503 and other server overload errors
Will probably snag Portal 2 to gift to a friend whenever it's up though. Certainly in my top 3, if not GOTY this year.

Ultimate DooM, DooM 2, DooM 3 and expansion, Quake 1, Quake 1 expansions and Quake 2, in my opinion.
Also Heretic, HeXen and HeXen 2. :0
I think Quake was on sale in the Summer Sale.
Arkham City was that price on Origin a month ago I believe. There's a decent chance we see it for 50% off in this sale.
The Witcher 2 is now $40 regular price, so $12.50 doesn't make sense. That would be 69% off. Steam likes their 66% and 75% off price-points. Also, I think that with GoG selling the game at 40% off on their own site, the best we can hope for on Steam is 50% off
This is why couples need personal accounts in addition to their joint accounts. Get your paycheck deposited into your joint, and have a mutually agreed upon percent or dollar amount that you are allowed to move over into your personal account for your own use. When times are good, this could be upwards of 15-20% of your net. When times are tough, you could drop it to 5%, or even have a set dollar amount ($10/20/etc) per week. That way you can choose to spend your money how you like without putting your joint finances at risk.
Me and my wife have a joint account, personal accounts, and a few savings accounts, with money being distributed into each according to our current life situation.
Quake and Unreal for me, man. And screw it, just get all of them... there will prolly be a daily sale where you can get the franchise's pack for the cheap. XD

Has the New Vegas DLC ever been lower than $5?

Nothing I want tbh. I bought mostly everything I wanted in last years sales and I have the ones I want from 2011.
Maybe Sonic Generations and The Last Remnant. I hear the PC version of both games' meant to be great.

I would also like to know this, since what it's going for right now just means that I can't buy lunch tomorrow and it's not a big deal.

i got it all for $2.50 around halloween i think
They were 75% off during the Autumn sale so expect the same for a daily for this sale.

I'd hold off, as they may be featured in a "Franchise Sale" of ~75% off.
Myself, I wish Hexen was considered a big enough "franchise" for a sale, as they're the only id games left that I want :S.

Yes please. Never got the chance to beat it.

Sure, but still... given the growth in concurrent users Steam has seen over the last few months, shouldn't they have expected pretty heavy traffic during the year's largest sale, and upgraded their servers accordingly?
Three hours into the sale, and I get 503 errors 9/10 times I click on something. And even when I do get through the page usually isn't completely loaded, or the information displayed is glitched (0% sale, etc). Plus, my inventory is still completely broken.

I'm kind of ready. Need to consult the powers that be before adding funds to my wallet.
What's Final DOOM?
