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.
Work in progress...

From the email:

"You're one of our three winners to get $100 GMG Credit when you purchased from GMG on the 31st December 2013!"

1/3.... I wonder what the actual odds of this were?

<3 GMG so much right now

What the fuck! The holiday sale is still ongoing but the two non-major-deal items I was looking at jumped back in price to their original non-sale price! The fuck kind of sale is that?!?

Unfortunately only the encores are active this time around, but it wasn't completely unseen as game pages had timers ticking down to today.

Shame that everything that had a holiday deal associated with it went back up to normal prices a day before they say the sale will be over.

Ok. But is it difficulty tofind out where you actually have to go or does every path lead to the same thing?

you'll find some areas have easier enemies than others- do those first. If you stumble upon, say, a graveyard of skeletons who are kicking your ass, go another way.

I remember buying the hard cover guide for Dark Souls the week I was laid off.

I ended up renting a copy that weekend.. so glad someone graciously gifted me a copy during the sale so I can finally play it and put the guide to good use!

Yeah, this annoyed me as I usually pick up a few random games on the last day depending on the daily deals.

This wasn't done the last few sales, was it?

Man, I crafted the sales badge five times and all I got was junk for games I do not and will not ever play. I really don't like that you get a random item from a random free to play game. You should at least be able to choose the game. I don't want War Thunder, Warframe or Spiral Knights shit, I'm never playing those games, ever.

I like how the dude with the highest Steam level has not gotten any of the most "precious" item drops from the Steam Snow Globes. His best dota 2 items are one "scythe of ice" and several "Steamcapes", out of 1500 item drops.

In a nutshell, do not craft badges for dota 2 items.

Don't think so, but I was suspecting that if something you wanted didn't appearl on sale beforehand yesterday was probably the safest day to buy. Problem being that you also don't know if there'll be a relapse of deals or not.

So the dude with the highest steam level is a japanese gamer who loves west RPG's and his most played game is Rocksmith?

He must came from an alternate universe.

Has anyone got spares of #4 and #8 of the snow globes? I really want to craft the badge before time runs out.

Spent quite a bit this sale, got a lot more in my backlog now.

All right guys my first giveaway so I hope this all ends well.

Also bought Don't Starve, what a marvelous little game. Made it 10 days on my first try. Now I'm stuck with basically $7.50 and my last purchase for the sale, do I get Skyrim or Civ V? So much confusion and torture :(

Do these games have a chance of showing up in the summer sale (when exactly is that btw?)

I am desperate to unload this Brazilian Football Manager '14 key I was saddled with. I'll take pretty much anything for it (price wise) or in trade. Jase mentioned you need a VPN to activate it but the game is now region free so there will not be any issues going forward. If anyone is interested, shoot me a message! I finally gave in and re-bought it.. was trying to wait until I'd sold this other one first but sick of waiting.

We don't have "get out of jail free" cards, but if we did, she'd have one.

They are pretty much guaranteed to show up in the summer sale, but that will most likely be in July. Quite a long time from now!

Holy shit. It goes up to 1000? And he got nothing? The RNG gods did not smile upon that poor bastard.

Imma flip some tables! I'll show restraint and not buy both. Here's hoping Skyrim Legendary edition is even cheaper than $20 come the summer sale.

Since I got some leftover cash, I'm picking up SRIV.
It has a shit-ton of DLC, which ones are worth getting?
