Just bought DA:OU from work through that damned android app to put me over $100. I have serious issues considering the fact that it will be 2015 before I complete all of these games.

This sale has bucked a number of trends. While I'm not saying there won't be a repeat sale for the last day I would suggest you don't count on it.

I'd bet there will be a repeat on Monday. The daily deals last 36 hours, so Sunday will be the last day of new sales.

oh my god how did the darkness 2 not win

what is wrong with people

everybody voting who isn't me is hitler
Sieg Moleneux!

I'm bummed too.

Friendship... hmmm.... OMG! Everyone who gifts a game to someone else during the sale gets a free copy of Ricochet 2!
or maybe not

My god. Time to start gifting.

Seriously, though... Anyone expecting a predictable surprise from Valve will end up traditionally disappointed.

I have enough games to play through the impending iOS gaming apocalypse. See, I'm not just hoarding games!

That is crazy. That song fits in so well with the theme of the game.

Yeah, but it shouldn't be taken to mean anything as far as the in-game fiction is concerned -- it's just someone having a bit of fun. Wolpaw actually said he probably would have changed the lyrics had he known about them during development.

Edit: If you have an hour to kill, watch this post mortem from GDC earlier in the year. I can't remember if he mentions not knowing about the lyrics in this video, but regardless it's very interesting and informative. You even see a little bit of the game in its earliest stages.

And I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we got another Orange Box type set...though I'm not sure what the third game would be (other than Fstop and HL3)

Doug Church's Game™.

Nah, it's been like that every day, there's always this big gap during the night (after the 12:01am pdt flash sale and new vote) so people can get some good sleep without completely missing a deal.

haha, different point of views, this is full day time in Europpe :)

To be fair, Darkness II has already gone on sale. Maybe the voting masses already purchased it. That's why I didn't vote for it. (Though I sure as balls didn't vote for Fable 3.)

If people missed it during a previous vote/flash sale, that's largely their fault. Hard to sympathize when it's just so easy to check games on sale (smartphone, computer, anything), and it's very unlikely you'll legitimately miss a game due to sleep, unless your sleep schedule lines up absolutely perfectly wrong.

Now that I think about it I'm surprised there isn't a task/badge for gifting a game.

Free copy of Nuclear Dawn to whoever quotes this post first... just in case

Are the other games in the Carpe Fulgur pack any good or is Recettear the one to get?

I doubt those that voted for fable 3 will actually play it. They are just playing Steam, not the games.
Playing games? what sorcery is this?

Another question.

I downloaded F.E.A.R and its expansion, but it seems to have combined them all (I guess?) into the Perseus Mandate expansion.

Is this what I should be playing? I downloaded everything, and it took forever. I'd hate it if I had to do it again.

I have no idea what the fuck he's buying

We need some sort of survey from valve to fill out asking everyone who voted why they voted why they did. The feedback would be invaluable.

You just want to go call at the house, of people who voted for Fable III and kick the shit out them. Kind of like that scene from Jay and Silent Bob.

FEAR and the expansions automatically download together. Neither of the expansions are very good, just play FEAR.
