I bought Tomb Raider, Dark Souls and SS2. Great sale for me.

I also got Bioshock Infinite from this thread and basically poop socked it. I couldn't put it down.

Oh yeah: Tomb Raider is really good. I was really worried about it, but I'm glad I bit at $12.50.

Total: $26.19 USD

So I've only sort of cared about the various steam profile/community things up to this point(in so far as it was needed for testing GES), so uh, what exactly am I suppose to do with these cards? I've tried selling a few, but no takers it seems.

Playing through Bioshock Infinite at launch was an unforgettable experience.

When I bought Half-Life 2 in the midweek before the sale started, it came with Deathmatch. It bottoms out at 75% from what I've observed and been told. Also, I'm pretty sure most would tell you that Half-Life 2 is amazing (though I haven't started it myself).

Oh, Half-Life 2 comes with Deathmatch? Cool. I don't have $5 atm, though.

I want to see JaseC's amount spent.

He bought over $1000 worth of cards.

Also it's nice to know nobody loves my amount spent. :(

Oh shit did they release that revolutionary new recording software with it that doesn't bog down the system like FRAPS? That was supposed to be some hot shit.

The only thing I've ever used it for was when I accidentally set a game's settings so high that it would crash and I wasn't able to set them back to default, but I could with THE EXPERIENCE.

Here is the Killing Floor giveaway for anyone interested. It is a really good game and best played with a group (from my experience with it and it was a lot of fun.)

Oh man. :lol

Since you all asked on what to do, how about a silly paint drawing that is hilarious to show that you want it? Others in here can vote on the funniest one and then I'll give the winner Castle Crashers.

Nothing dirty in the drawings. Just something funny about this. I was going to just throw the ModBot post here, but it is more fun like this I think unless you guys disagree.

Edit: I meant Windows Paint (or very similar) and not doing anything means you forfeit for the others who didn't and made an entry!

You have spent approximately $16.96 USD in the store since the sale began.

0.80 of that was a purchase for me (Tomb Raider Anniversary), the rest was helping with regional pricing. Got you all beat!

Was wondering if anyone has ever bought Steam Wallet Cards from 7/11? Are they as common there as they are in Best Buy or Gamestop?

Okay, Gaf I need your help, i'm on a strict budget of only 18 dollars, not sure what to purchase.

Here is what I have been eyeballing:
Deus Ex: HR 2.99 - Looks interesting, sorta wanna get 2.99 is good price
Reus 4.99 - Looks interesting, never planned on buying, 4.99 bit steep
From Dust 9.74 - Been wanting to play this for the longest time, but pricey
Sanctum 2 Season Pass 11.99 - Long run good decision, hopes goes on sale
Sanctum 2 Road to Elysion 3.99 - Alternative if season pass doesn't go on sale
Moster Loves You - 6.69 - Would buy if lower, looks fun
PoP 2008 6.49 - Been wanting to replay this, price is issue, seen it low as 2.99 once

I will start it off, DE: Human Revolution. Amazing game. And at $3, its an easy choice. Great replay value too.

It did for me, even though it wasn't listed on the page; I don't know whether that was a glitch, part of the deal, or just an unlisted bonus. But you should be able to snatch up Half-Life 2 at $2.49 at some point if you're patient.

Deus Ex: HR is great if you like stealth games and sci-fi settings. I heard the PC port of From Dust isn't that great at all (no video settings, capped at 30 FPS), and I also loved PoP 2008, but keep in my the epilogue DLC does not exist on PC (although I have heard it's not that great anyway).

Not too much so far, although it doesn't include sales from other places having summer sales. Only $5 spent on myself. I feel somewhat proud of my restraint.

I've spent 17.50, 15.20 of which was a four pack I only paid 3.80 out of(I was the host). Just a poor, currently jobless college student :D

Did giveaway CoH Complete, Intersteller Marines, and the Void though which I'm not counting.

Thanks for the giveaways everyone <3

I've heard that in Germany, Max is addicted to orange juice instead of liquor.

And he doesn't take painkillers, he practices alternative medicine.
Click to expand...

Any kind of drug or alcohol abuse or even explicit sexual material is fine in Germany, to a certain degree.

But shooting an innocent bystander while you kill thousands of bad guys? That's a no.
Or shooting a dead body so it reacts in a totally unrealistic video-gamey way? That's a no, too.

I think, I'm gonna try my luck with getting a refund. Gonna throw some law §§ to them about not informing me about the censorship despite doing it all the time and hope for the best.
