So long steam sales and everyone here, you will be missed.

Spoiler

See you back in the normal boring sale free forums

 

[CorrisD]

*sniff* I feel so empty, more so without my fully complete badge.

 

[X05]

Aaaand it's over :O

alianza pocitos, proficiency

I'd go to British but A) dont have the money B) not really interested in learning the UK's english

I'd rather have the Queen's English, but Alianza's level is really good. Prof level is pretty high... so that means cry

 

[drizzle]

Jade Empire GET!

 

[Sysgen]

2000+ games on special?

IT LIVES!

 

[Chairmanchuck]

It was fun.
Thanks to everyone here on GAF!!!


It was a fun ride, but it had to end

 

[gabbo]

So did it turn out that Aus price was a mistake or did they just get lucky as fuck?

 

[metalshade]

You are all gentlemen(and women) and scholars!
Farewell my friends!
I shall bury myself in my loot until the day comes for us to meet again on the field of battle.

 

[Boss Doggie]

What sucks is that nothing special happened, no free games or "a chance to win top 10 of your wishlist".

 

[SteveWinwood]

Whats the daily deal?

 

[Sianos]

Guess what I had as a side dish for lunch.

Chili.

Chili is not a main dish!

 

[Deques]

Gotta find somewhere else to use my money now

 

[Strickland]

Okay, what did I miss?

 

[HBroward]

Now we just need an Olympic achievement hunt tie-in to get us to play all these games we have bought. Make it happen Gabe.

 

[Enco]

Whats the daily deal?

Sadness -100%
Wallet in Joy -66%
The Witcher 2 -60%

 

[Apdiddy]

Whats the daily deal?

Jade Empire: Special Edition.

Way to kick the wallet while it's down, Valve.

 

[DeadFalling]

I PM'd you a TLR Steam key, enjoy.

My hero... You're getting a shitload of games from me come winter sale!!

 

[Prophane33]

Well, now I can ignore my Steam app until the winter sale.

 

[Sianos]

Sanctum 20% off is the daily deal.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Guess what I had as a side dish for lunch.

Chili.

Chili is not a main dish!

IT CAN IF YOU CAN PUT YOUR MIND AND PENGUIN TO IT

 

[bonesmccoy]

I can't believe I'm not hating Jagged Alliance: Back in Action.

 

[diffusionx]

I'm glad it's over, I was tired of constantly looking at the Steam app.

I was disappointed a few games didn't go on daily/flash/community (Bully, Trackmania United, a few others), but I have tons of games to play and it will be lots of fun getting to them. I have Guild Wars 2 coming next month and I honestly see no need for any new purchases in 2012.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Thanks again caliblue15 for the Dear Esther gift! Really appreciate it

 

[Pandaman]

Jade Empire: Special Edition.

Way to kick the wallet while it's down, Valve.

[Sora_N]

It was a fun 11 days, it was my first steam sale. Thanks to everyone for the tips/advice/etc. See you at the Winter Sale!

My damage: $45

 

[JeTmAn81]

Feeling good that I resisted the urge to buy some stuff at the last minute. Fallout 3: GOTY and Broken Sword caught my fancy, but I wouldn't end up actually playing that stuff. Chuffed to know that The Witcher, one title I did buy, is playable on Mac as well as PC. The most powerful computer I have available to me at home is a Mac, so maybe I will end up installing it on that. Too bad the download is 16 gigs (helloooo, voice acting for every language under the sun!).

 

[HBroward]

Haha, Jade Empire for $3.74, you are good Gabe, very good at what you do. Held off at 50% during the sale, but that got me.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

SO GUYS, DID THE SA-

Had a nice laugh with that.

Spent about twice as much as I intended to, the flash sales really did me in there, but other than that I'm reasonably happy with what I got.

 

[Sye d'Burns]

Officially the cheapest that I've ever escaped a Steam sale. 1200 dollars in auto repairs made me uncharacteristically frugal.

Thanks again to Eschaton for E.Y.E.

 

[ThingontheFloor]

Didn’t buy anything the entire Steam sale until the last 13 minutes when I bought the Saints Row 3 Franchise Pack for $13. Played it to death on 360 but it’s one of those games I think I could pick up and play whenever just for a half hour of fun or something so why not.

 

[drizzle]

And I figured I'd only spend €20 at most. Guess this is what happens when you're a Steam Sale first timer.

Everybody underestimates how much they're going to spend on Steam Sales.

Except me: I always estimate around 100 bucks, but I always end up spending only 60-70 bucks. Been like that for the last 3 sales (since I started keeping tabs).

MOTHER FUCKER

Just as Jade empire drop down to 3.75$ the minute the sale end, crazy.

From now on, I won't just check steam when there's those huge sale going on. It's definitively worth it to check it once a week or even daily. :]
