I dunno, but I'd like in on that if someone did.

The only games I really wanted to get during the summer sale were Sonic racing transformed and Dishonored. Got sonic racing during the -75% off weekend and I have bought so many games by now that I probably won't even get to Dishonored before the next sale, so I'm better off just waiting with buying that one. Steam sales are fun.
Is there any downside to only getting DoW2 Retribution? Like missing factions from skirmishes or whatever? Good deal for Deus ex, i'll bite, though the community sucks so that's Ass 3 as the deal then.
Also that Natural selection game look pretty wierd, an FPS/RTS blend, anyone recommend it?

Ok bought Castle Crashers and Dust. Unfortunately this is the end of the sale for me as I am broke and don't get paid till next month 
In total,
Sonic
HL2
Bastion
Dust
Castle Crashers
Also all of this was bought with the money I got from card sales except for Dust. I had to pay $3 from my bank account.

Agreed x1000. I love the atmosphere of the game, but damn, the AI made me give up about half way through it was so bad.

Stop it guys. There's no sound in the English language that comes close to the Dutch -eu

Not actually that important
Bought Castle Crashers.
I really want LEFT4DEAD2 but damn it's 7 here and I heard it's only $5 on Steam US?

also, the Deathmatch in Heaven Max Payne 3 DLC is actually a co-op campaign. Or rather; you and a friend against waves kinda thing.

No worries unless you work in English (like myself) you probably don't go around saying it all the time. I mess up on my little french/latin phrases every now and then too (e.g. can never decide how to say "niche")

Thank you sir. Officially bought! Why people hating on Legendary and Jericho? They're awesome horrendous games. Those titles are mad fun...To me
Just gonna ask again. Got lost in the posts last night.
You jumped in, played 1 game, had a bad Commander?
They never really discount the DLC which screws people who have been supporting and playing their game since 2009.
Its often cheaper to buy the complete pack than to even get a few DLC items.

Yeah, I tried to think of one too but couldn't think of anything. Never realized that before.

Dude Transformed is such a good kart racer. Very happy seeing more and more people get into that game.

Is there another shop that sells the Walking Dead DLC for 2,49$? I tried to buy it with a VPN right now, but it still somehow knows I am trying to buy it from Germany.
Tried it with openvpn, Tunnelbear and Hotspotshield so far...

What aspects are you looking for? War? City building? Diplomacy? Civ has a lot of different types of systems.
Warlock - Master Of The Arcane?
The people complaining about the card prices constantly being undercut and bottoming out have probably not played many MMOs.
Trying to get everyone to behave and keep the price high is called a Syndicate. This only works if you can go around and break people's kneecaps when they misbehave. Since this is online, this isn't possible (thankfully).
Trying to buy out the cards in an attempt to corner the market is also a bad idea. Perhaps it is possible with foils. The main issue is that new ones are generated every second. The price will always drop.
When I played WoW, the best sellers were the ones willing to undercut the price to 50% or even 40% of the average value. You get your item sold and your competitor gets nothing. There is a reason my bank alt was kept a secret from everyone, even my own guild.

You caught me. I am actually Stalin in disguise.
Now go eat potatoes and vodka while I price fix this market to maximize my profits.
Oh no, that's a shame. I hope you can finish it someday, it's totally worth it.
I put almost 40 hours in it and it still didn't feel long to me. Lots of replayability value too. It was the best $2.5 I've ever spent, no kidding.
The soundtrack is... nah, I can't describe it, you gotta listen for yourself.

Oh, I know, I'm in love with that game. Wanted to get it for a long time but was waiting till the next time it was on sale to get a 4-pack. My brother loves it too, but my friends who got the other copies not so much, unfortunately

You're not using a VPN to buy things on Steam, right?
This looks fun! Now I'm torn whether I want to buy this or not.
Please elaborate. "[It's] a terrible piece of shit" doesn't communicate anything.

Both incorrect. It's not far off, but still easy to identify as wrong. Strange, maybe it's like the L/R thing for the Japanese.
You're welcome Toma.
Just bought Castle Crashers. The goal is to get home from work and earn and sell enough cards from it, Terraria, and Organ Trail to get to $3 before the inevitable Deus Ex flash sale ends.
Thanks so much.
Thanks so much.

Now we're talking. Let's go do some honest to goodness price fixing, get some old dried out fish and a bottle of vodka and let's make this a party!!! Who's got the solo cups? What color? RED OF COURSE.

It's usually the thing English speakers stumble on when trying to speak Dutch. Same with the -g or -ij, although -ij is pretty similar to -igh. Needs a lot of practice to get it right.

No. Im not.
I wanna buy it from Gamestop USA. But somehow it detects that I am using a VPN I think, even though the IP is an american IP.
Is it good, and can it be played singleplayer? As a metric to decide if it's good, do you think it's worthy of having to download that beast of a game again? I loved Max Payne 3 and am in dire need of some more of that Euphoria goodness.
