I only made mine a raffle because I suspected my giveaways would be popular, and it's only good for another hour-ish. If I start giving $20+ keys away I'd make the raffle 24 hours.
Erm, I had the 75% discount due to having everything prior to DC... and now I'm only getting -33% from the sale.
Pretty stupid that I have to wait for no sale to get the best price =/

listen to the mad man
The average discount for non-featured titles feels like it has declined over the last 3 years or so. I feel as though it used to be 66-75% and now it's more like 33-50%. In particular I remember most of the $10 catalogue going for $2.49 during sales.

Did my raffle end an hour early or is it just my imagination?

Damn, I just bit on the $16 MGR even though I have a 360 copy still sealed from the MS Store $10 black friday sale.
I am weak :\

I will only try to spend money on my wishlist, that's all!
... I'll fail, won't I?

Yeah without looking at the history I think you are right. It used to be the time to pick up every game you had passed on throughout the year. In particular the last sale day was the time to clean up on all the discounts.
Now, not so much. Even my wishlist is mostly indie and very few games are > 50%. Only 1 is 75%.
Thank you! Entered for Arkham City and Asylum.

Serious?
Talking about Sonic transformed? It is $4 at GMG right now if you use the coupon on the front page.
I think this is the first time SteamGuard gave me my location?
i'll just assume it has to do with region locking since Steam is evil now
Been doing that for a while now. Seeing as my phone freaks out I get a lot of Steam Guard new location messages/codes to faff around with and it's been giving the IP address and location of the access point.
Big Gaben is watching!
As far as I know and looking at the list, yes.
Edit: Actually, christmas eve. Then the 2nd of january again.
this was the little push i needed. nice. no code yet, btw, says it will release on the 9th. so possibly no pre-load for us gameflyers, worth it for 4 bucks savings though.
I already own the console version....I'm probably going to purchase another copy also.
No regrets
Do it, it's the Steam Sale way

I have been saving these for a while.
That's pretty much every sale the past two years except for a price errors.

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.
Figures. After waiting this long for a sale on the DLC, I've lost interest. Devs, please take note and realize this is a very shitty thing to do.

Tempting? You should have already bought it. Get on it, pronto!
sell the 360 copy on eBay and you'll have it for free

Hey, here's a maybe stupid question: If a game is already 75% off, it basically has zero chance of going lower on a daily deal, right?
played about an hour or so of lords of shadow. back when I had 360 years ago I only made it a little past the shadow of the colossus boss in the snow. even though it was such a long time ago I can absolutely remember how awful it ran on 360. pc gaming is such a smooth experience.

Nah, it totally happens sometimes. It's less likely than some other stuff, but you really should be waiting until the end, just to make sure.

MGR seems to be selling well for something 3 weeks away. It's been in the top 3 on steam all day and i've seen lots of people saying they got it from amazon.
Hopefully Platinum is impressed and gives us more.

That's more or less right (rare occasions it will go lower), though everyone here will say wait for the Dailies
