So Sleeping Dogs was a "community pick" right? I missed that 8 hour block. But community picks can still end up as daily deals, right? I just want to snatch up some of the campaign DLC at some point as I already own the game.

Yeah it can still be a daily deal. Some games that were daily deals can also end up as flash sales or community picks after they're a daily deal as well

Mars War Logs is a decent pick up for $9. It seems like a cross between Rage and the Witcher 2. Played it for a bit last night and was really impressed as this is supposed to be from a very small team.

This is the most feedback I've heard about the game since asking 3-4 times yesterday.
Have you put any more time into it?

I've worked out that I'm going to have some money left in my Steam Wallet by the end of the Sale. So rather than leave it in there until the Autumn Sale I think I'll snap up some bargains to give back to this here lovely community.

What's the best way to do this?

Buy it for myself and leave it in my inventory?
What if I've already got that game in my library?
Gift it to my own e-mail address?

hlp pls

Last of the 3 guys! I may give something else away later today though. I also might be giving away something kinda big towards the end of the sale.

Still conflicted on SS2. It's a classic, I loved the Bioshock games, I love sci fi/futuristic RPGs and sci fi horror.

But I also don't like most older games, mainly because of visuals and controls. I never grew up playing those games so there's no nostalgic factor for me. And I'm also want to save $$ for other games. And I know something important about the story (you guys know what), not sure if that knowledge would ruin the story for me

I'm really enjoying Chivalry, but how do I make it look good like in the High Res Screenshots thread? Not even at 4k it looks that good, any .ini configs?

Morning guys! Only 6 hours of sleep after my 7-hour long Civ V session yesterday. I'm almost disappointed we haven't gotten new flash deals yet

I spent around €300 the 8 years I've had Steam, not that bad.

Rogue Legacy needs to be the next daily/flash. Then I'm done with this sale

Wonder how much money Valve has made on cards
Click to expand...
I wonder how much the devs are getting themselves and if it was "worth it" making cards for their games. Players get incentive for buying their game just because of included cards and then the 10% or so they get from each transaction. Hopefully this isn't just a fad for this year. Would like to see cards expanded more(they said something about a book or something to organize your cards?). Cool optional stuff for users and more money for devs.

Also got SS2 for myself and my bro. Should be fun. Is co-op just the single player with another person?

I would just pass if I were you. Sounds like you have plenty of great games to play anyways.

Buy as gift and send to your email address should work.

Binders!

I assume it isn't too much of a hassle to make the card designs, emoticons and backgrounds. Basically free money as far as I know.

Is You Need a Budget a good budgeting program? I've been looking for one and just started using Mint, but wouldn't mind a better one.
