FTL has been on sale greater than 5 times this sale, give Recettear some time in the sun.
Your chances are decent, but Hotline Miami has also been on sale about 5 times.

It's been on sale so many times. In the last month alone I must have seen it on sale on at least 4 different occasions.
I wouldn't sweat it though, it'll probably win the vote anyways.

Has anyone played The Next Big Thing? It looks like a hilarious horrorish PnC adventure game. See it for $10.99 and wondering if I should pick it up. I haven't played an adventure game in a while.
Brotherhood is my favourite Assassin's Creed game (which isn't saying much}, so I'd say it's worth the money.
I have yet to play Revelations, but it is considered to be the weakest of the Ezio trilogy.
They are not going cheaper anytime soon.

So no 4-pack for Sonic, then? Am sad panda. 
Also, finally crafted my Summer 2013 Badge. I think I can say I'm pretty much done with the sale. I'll just get The Last Remnant on the last day and I'm good to go, at least until Winter Sale.
Unless they put The Amazing Spider-Man on 75% in which case, dammit.

I purchased War for Cybertron (I had a blast with it on the 360, and I will wait for Fall of Cybertron to come down more since I already own that for the 360 too) because I figured it will not get much cheaper than that.
Trying to buy stuff that is PC specific otherwise, so today I went for Jamestown with the DLC and Hard Reset after getting System Shock 2 and The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing earlier this week. I also picked up Psychonauts so I can keep my retail PC copy packed away.
I am only missing the Tomb Raider card now from the base set, after hitting a streak of nothing but Reus and Chivalry cards - but since I did not have Steam Guard turned on, I have to wait until August 3rd to do anything with the market. Stupid thing I know but I had no idea that would be an issue else I would have bought the Tomb Raider card from there already. Maybe someone on here will take pity on a poor sap like me.
Total amount spent so far - $47.08. My limit was set at $60 (the price of a new console title) for this sale, so I still have a little left over for anything else that catches my eye. There are a few titles between the $2-4 range that might get some love from me, especially if Recettear wins (and I voted for it too). Retro/Grade is $2.50, so I will keep it in mind after reading the comments prior.

Haha, don't beat yourself up. I was half trying to put things in perspective and half ripping on you.
I actually find your giveaways and the ensuing anger from some of GAF very amusing.
I'm actually wondering the same thing, but I think it has been offered for less in a previous bundle.
not at that price
Pendulo games are good, but tend to get featured in sales as well, for cheaper than those prices

Revelations isn't bad, it just doesn't do enough that is different. It seems like it could have been an Expansion. What's new in it just isn't very enticing. It's better than III though.
Brotherhood, absolutely. Revelations, meh. I guess if you want some more of Altair's & Ezio's story it's worth $5.

Hmmm. I know it was on sale for $7.50 at one point. Don't know if was during this sale or not though. That's why I was wondering if I should just pick it up at the 50% off it is now. I don't even know if there is enough interest in it by the powers that be to put it on a 75% off at any point.

There were several earlier, but if you can host, then you might be able to attract a few more people who are on the fence. I hosted two with the help of my sister, so I'm out for this one
Only if Steam pays you to add it to your library.
Something, something unbridled enthusiasm.

A light sale for me this year......
Just Cause
Natural Selection II
Gunpoint - Gifted to me by a good friend
Monaco - Bought and gifted one copy out plus sold another friend on it
McPixel
Scribblenauts Unlimited
All that was around 20.25~ in damages. Only a few more games would entice me but I'm not holding my breath. Lost Planet 2, Dead Rising 2/OTR, and maybe a good F1 sale for 2012 (I'm talking 5 dollars).

I thought that was what trading cards were for.

They were worth around 40 cents this morning, but then the market plummeted. I would have been able to sell my cards if the Market hadn't been lagging. D:

Worth it.
Given how it took a nosedive from beta to now..
I think you'd have a better shot of Half Life 3 coming out
It's possible though.

Just Cause 1 is 27 cents?
That's basically free. Should I buy it? I remember playing it on 360, but never finished it.

I think I tried a demo on Xbox Live.. I figure it's something my daughter and I can play together.
Nope. It's on the wishlist, but I probably will wait for the Fall/Winter sale to get it on the cheap.

DON'T BUY IT
it's a shitty Xbox 1 port with hardly any PC setting. I'm talking no Mouse Sensitivity, Windowed Mode, Aspect Ratio options.
