Nice to see that prices are continuing to fall (not exactly a good thing for you, though, haha). I plan to level up my regular badge, using card money, to 5 so it's consistent with my other badges. I may also craft the foil badge if those cards have also bombed in price in a week.

You may have noticed that I have been doing a lot of giveaways today. This is because I have spent the day getting a lot of amazon gift cards while also getting fairly inebriated. Go ahead and take advantage of my susceptible state, you monsters.

its 2 bucks, how could you go wrong
Famous last words, almost on par with the druggies that try krokodil. "Hey, this rots your privates, but how could it go wrong?" Yes, it's that fucking bad.

Amazing giveaway. Sadly (well not really since it's good stuff), I already own everything so I can't quite take advantage of you!

Thanks. Entered a few.
Hey Steam-family,
Just throwing this out there as I'm in a bit of a jam. I picked keys for Dark Souls (via Amazon) and coughborderlands2cough from GetGames hoping that they'd let me circumvent the region restrictions (i.e. neither game is available in my region.)
Unfortunately, this was not the case and I couldn't activate either key. I asked fellow GAFfer and Feynman-lover, Tesseract, to lend a hand and he wisely asked if keys could activated as steam-tradeable gifts but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Any advice on what I can do from here? Help a gaffer get more death and loot this holiday season!

That's very generous of you, thanks!
Super House of Dead Ninjas. I say as much here. http://steamcommunity.com//id/kenofthedead/recommended/224820/

Four games under $5, with Toki Tori 1 and 2 primarily the reason to get them. Toki Tori 2+ in paticular is one of the better puzzle platformers out there with a lot of variety and reward for criticl thinking and exploration to see all that you can do.
Fortix 2. If you ever played Qix it's that type, if not, well it's easy to understand. You start off with a rectange and as a character that can only move in straight lines you "paint off" areas to capture enemies, destroy objects, activate effects, and get as much of the map completed as possible for high score.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/45450/?snr=1_7_7_204_150_2
Commandos 2 and Commandos 3. Stealth, action, war. Built around taking stock about where everyone and everything is and figuring out the best path, best plan, best moments to get from area to area. A variety of locations and level design gives it a lot more variety than most other stealth games as the only "tactical action' game I ever felt where that term was fully accurate.

Dark Void Zero. If the NES ever had a version of Zillon (Master System) "rip-off" back in the day, this would have been it. NES style, 8-bit graphics, respawning enemies, key cards, finding items and power ups, and other fun level design of the 8-bit era.
Originally made to be a promotional item of a 3D shooter game on last gen home systems and PC, but turned out to actually be a far better game than the AAA title ever could be.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/45730/?snr=1_7_7_204_150_4
Deus Ex: Game Of The Year. An old title to be sure, but it still very much remains playable and fun for the amount of things you are allowed to do, different tactics you can take, and sense of satisfaction you feel when you accomplish something that wasn't the "standard way" the average game of the time or today would have done. Plenty of mods to make it an even better experience, easily found online for suggestions.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/6910/?snr=1_7_7_204_150_8
Critter Crunch. One of the best match puzzle games out there due to it's frantic play style, visuals, and fun you have by making creatures eat each other before exploding. Where else can you honestly enjoy making a character regurgitate rainbows into it's child's mouth and be happy? Seriously though, it's a great game derived from the Magical Drop formula.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened. Sherlock Holmes verses Cthulhu.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/11140/?snr=1_7_7_204_150_12
Stealth Bastard Deluxe. 2D side scroller stealth game that takes inspiration from what Super Meat Boy did for platformers, hard, but very rewarding as your skill at the game increases. By the end you'll return to the starting areas and wonder how it ever gave you such trouble. Note the skill involved is about stealth play, not twitch reactions... most of the time.

The Binding Of Isac, rogue-like shooter in a top down setting that reminds most people of Legend Of Zelda titles.

Zen Pinball FX2. The base game and one table is free, so go ahead and download it and try it out. All the tables save for the newest is on sale, so you got a good selection. I recommend the Marvel Pinball tables personally.
I recommend this as someone who is not good at pinball in real life and can't enjoy them for more than a couple of minutes at a time, yet with Pinball FX2 I have spent far more hours than I care to admit on the various versions of the game across numerous platforms. Added challenges, missions, and just ease of play combined with competing with friends for score is one of the purest examples I've ever experienced when it comes to the joy of video games for fun.

Thanks a lot man! Very surprised I won this, it definitely was a surprise when I got back.

Amazing giveaway. Sadly (well not really since it's good stuff), I already own everything so I can't quite take advantage of you!
True, but atleast I didn't spend 50$ like others. I'm comfortable spending 2$ to see how bad the game truly is.
It's like playing an open world game with cheat codes on...fun for half an hour but then it's time to get back to playing it seriously. Except you can't ever do that in SR4. Throw in really bad mission design and random collectibles thrown on to the map in a way that even Ubisoft would be impressed by and you have one bad game. It can be pretty funny at times though.

Awesome!
Thank you, Intheflorsh!
Thanks. Sent a pm for 99S.
If last Christmas sale is anything to go by, prices will rise close to the end.

That's my theory. I'm playing the waiting game on it.
I don't know whether to grab Papers, Please or a bunch of Rocksmith DLC (all for 50% off). Good thing is I have a little over 4 card bucks on my wallet. The bad thing is that either option will cost me more than that, with the DLC being $35.37.
Man, I didn't think Rocksmith would end up being so expensive. I should get Papers, Please instead, right?

Oh my god, your tag...
I got it for free and I still want all the time I wasted playing it through to the end back
Well, Christmas redeemed!
I tell it like it is =p
Considering that the 33% off lasts for the entirety of the sale I would imagine so.

great giveaway, man! Much appreciated
New to using Modbot, so let's go with something good that no one I know has wanted to claim (usually owing to already owning if they cared):

I'm wondering if they left the older flash sales active becuase of the issues earlier today. KOF XIII was still active an hour ago.
While your tag gives the general impression most people on here have of you, I really enjoy reading your opinions on games, as you're not afraid to shoot down every aspect of a game

Thanks for Two Worlds II, SephirothRK.
Haha, you antagonized EatChildren in the LTTP thread didn't you?
Just get another temporary ban. That should remove the tag.
