They're not obligated to start the sale at any point, it's not like they announced a date and missed it. They don't "owe" you any apology or tact or whatever at all, really. They will take feedback and move on, I imagine.
I highly recommend The Whispered World, as far as Steam Adventure games go. Be warned though, it has a low res 1024 I believe and gets quite hard later on.
only cause they spoiled you by being so good, hah
it's not like they ever broke any promises

The Netherlands but same timezone eh.
8 days left and I'm already dangerously close to my 50 budget.
grabbed Blades of Time 'Limited Edition' ...

75% off and $11.24.
seemed like a decent enough hack n slash game.

What about Payday?

Possibly because so many people already own it.
Max Payne 3 gets a thumbs down from me. Got so tired of the shooting I stopped. F3AR is fun in co-op only. Its single player is a bore.

I hope when I hit 500 games I get a Sucker badge.
it's launch-price good and it has the best soundtrack of 2012.

I loved MP3, worth every penny and I bought it day 1.
Those wont get further discounts. ALmost all are easily worth their price, especially Sega, Bethesda and Paradox.

That's the issue. When you fudge with any of your sales, expect people to call you on it, no matter how good sales still are. (See also: Apple going from free iPod touch to $100 App store card with their back to school sale.)

I added you on Steam! I needed more of the footygaf people on there anyway!
barely anyone's complaining in a "they owe me!" manner
On the topic of The Whispered World:
Trailer
http://store.steampowered.com/app/18490/
75% off so it wont be cheaper (5 bucks now). Impressions I wrote up last year:
I really liked the Tales of Monkey Island and the Sam and Max games as well, but there werent many other "classical" adventure games on par in my opinion. it really pushes the feeling Sierra was going for.
Oh and its beautiful:
Fair warning, though: The cinematics are not as beautiful as the rest of the game and the voice of the main character might get annoying. Plus its locked to a low res due to the hand drawn graphics.
And again: Here is the trailer.

Thinking about this game makes me feel happy. Its also actually the only game me, my girlfriend and my sister played through. My sister hasnt touched any videogame since Diablo 2 and just for the record: Its about 20 hours long.

Checked Avadon and Dreadmore. Can't invest in the games right now since i have some IE that i need to grind through yet. However Vessel looks like a very competent game so check it out if not familiar with it.

Just get ACII. AC is only worth playing if you're beyond curious and a completionist.
I'm not a completionist, I just don't want to be lost as far as the story goes. But I guess that's what wikipedia is for
MP3 is just such a frustrating game. When it gets going it's just incredibly fun. But holy shit do they make actually playing the game a chore. So many constant intrusive elements and the game choosing your starting position for heavy gun battles is just annoying as hell (since you can easy be shot from behind cover, often you might lose almost all your life before you get a chance to do anything). Cutscenes can go on forever and you can't skip them... ever.

Toy Soldiers any good? Looks pretty interesting for $2.50

So far:
Deus Ex Human Revolution Augmented Edition
Ridge Racer Unbounded with DLC
The Sims 3
The Sims 3 Showtime: Katy Perry Collectors Edition
The Binding of Issac: Wrath of the Lamb
Super Monday Night Combat DLC pack
PixelJunk Eden with OST
I was going to wait on the two Sims 3 games, but I convinced myself that EA titles wouldn't be part of the daily or lightning deals, so I rolled the dice and will see if I did the right thing.
Spent $85 so far, and the only other game I want is Binary Domain. I'll wait on that one and see if the price goes down further.

That's some solid dedication to Katy Perry right there.
You're better off just watching the cut scenes for 1 on youtube, playing 2, and then deciding if you want to also play Brotherhood and maybe Revelations.

The games themselves will catch you up at the beginning of each. Companies like money, they tend to avoid alienating potential customers by making their games only accessible to people who have played other games.
That being said, AC: Brotherhood is best played after ACII. AC: Revelations is solid, but a safe skip if on a time or money crunch. AC isn't that good and I suggest people skip it unless they're on a time and money surplus.

So I bought the Tribes pack, and I see my 800G in-game, but not my XP boost, and I dunno where I'd check to see about my class unlocks. What's the dealio?

Well maybe not literally, but putting it up on there for a limited time when the service is overloaded making it hard to get the thing, or when people might not be around for the offer, is just short of a troll.

Because the world is round.
let me go fish out a 2nd controller and I will tell you.

Unless the flash deals just end up as daily deals anyway, which they almost certainly will given the length of the sale...so they are just giving people more chance to buy now. People can still miss a day's deals too.
It will be, the whole collection I'm sure.

XP boost is a thing you can actually buy in the game, additional boost that is. Just look and see if VIP Account shows up to the left of your account name on the main menu, you have a permanent XP boost on that. Look at the class list and see if Technician and Infiltrator aren't locked out either.
I was hoping for something single-player. Even at $5 I'm not sure I'd play it enough to justify the purchase.
Yeah, that's what I figured. I guess it's a pass. I'll bite when it's $10 at Christmas
Aww dammit guys. Now I'm on the fence again.

Ah, yeah, VIP is up in the corner. Thanks!
