Yep, some of the flash sales like Space chem are due to appear in later indie bundles, so the the reverse could probably be true as well.

Is it worth getting Borderlands if I have never played it before and I don't have anyone to play it with?
Already answered, but only thing 3 > 2 in is stereoscopic 3D. If you don't game in 3D, Dirt 2 is superior in every way, shape, and form.

I played it all on single player my first time. It was good fun.
Works great for me (windows 7 64 home) and I went ahead and got the patch.
I only had one time in 40+ hours playing it where it froze and that was before I got the patch.
Thinking about Skyrim as I loved fallout 3/new Vegas, but then again I have never really been able to get into an Elder Scrolls game before. I am leaning towards waiting for winter sale as I have a bit of backlog and am still holding out hope for a daily deal on civ 5 goty.
Just picked up Super Meat Boy for $3.74. I'm wondering if Borderlands GOTY is worth it at $5.61 (2 of the DLC's have SecuROM, so unless someone guarantees me it won't mess up my machine I won't be activating those), if I should pick up the base version at $3.74, or entirely pass on it, as I don't have anyone to play online with.
I wonder why indie sale prices are almost uniformly higher this time around. lots of 25-50% off stuff on the non-daily catalogue. The list of non-daily 75%+ sales is way smaller than in previous Steam sales. Also, we aren't getting 75% very often on titles that weren't steeply discounted in previous sales. Legend of Grimrock is a good example. I bought it for 60% off during the daily, but that is the sort of game we would have seen for 75% off in previous sales (see Super Meat Boy, Limbo, Orcs Must Die, Torchlight, etc, etc).
It didn't win the vote, so no.

Brother gave me $ to buy myself Ys Origin as a gift :lol

I only use my wishlist to either a. get the sale achievement or b. Just a hey remember and keep track of this stuff that you saw once.
I'm worried people will look at my like 60 game long wishlist and judge me

So far:
SpaceChem
Legend of Grimrock
Ys Origins
I'm considering getting the Frozen Synapse DLC, but I own a non-Steam version of Frozen Synapse. How could I get it to work?
I say no, just wait for Borderlands 2. I loved Borderlands, but I think 2 will be much better.

Woke up, added a bunch of stuff to the cart and then on the last stage of checkout:
Have been retrying for the last 5 minutes. Is this some problem on my end?Code:An unexpected error has occurred. Your purchase has not been completed. Please contact Steam Support.
Had this last night. Lasted for hours. Woke up today and it was better. Luckly had 45 minutes left on American Nightmare, so I was happy.
Tried to buy Ys Origin. I tried to use PayPal but the payment was refused by PayPal saying the product cannot be shipped to my country. Tried to return to the Steam Page via the button on the PayPal page. My order stayed on waiting status or something and it was eventually cancelled because the payment failed.
Now I can't buy it again. Every time I click on the button on the payment information on Steam, I keep getting an error saying that the initialization failed, and it told me to wait a minute before retry or contact steam support.
Well, I guess I won't buy this game for now :/

Get the rest except Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot. Moxxi is cool, but the DLC is basically just loooong waves of enemies.
Probably their new economist experimenting to see just how much we're willing to pay. If this results in more revenue, welcome to the future. If it results in less, they'll be changes.

It's incredible. KB/M feels great, the game looks wonderful, and it runs well. (Mirrors Edge)
I didn't care for Ass Creed 1.

He was being a troll on the amazon thread, so Im not surprised hes one of the "No Fun Allowed" type guys.
Only buy the Claptrap DLC tben, those are the two good ones.

But professional help would take same amount of the money, maybe more, and won't add to my Steam library. Although it has achievements.
I will finally get World of Goo.
Is Call of Juarez any good? I'm also considering PixelJunk Eden. Yes? No?

Borderlands DLC is the best DLC of the generation. Well, except maybe The Underdome, but the other 3 give you as much content as the original game and Knox and Claptrap Revolution are just awesome.

Not me, but I can tell you that it was the least voted. I wanted that game, damn! Hopefully it will be on a flash sale (please Gaben, do it!).

God so much zomg damage so far.
Could probably fund an entire year of gaming (done right) for the price of an hour session.

So far,
Max Payne 3 - £15
Alan Wake - £5
Street Fighter IV AE - £5
Want to buy Ys but I'm thinking about holding out for a Witcher 2 sale. Does anyone want to trade anything for a copy of Portal? I have two for some reason.

Wait, when the hell was Hot Pursuit 4.99?
Amazon, yo!
Oh god. It's 8:13 AM here and I've just gotten up and I feel like I'm treading into dangerous waters today.
Tropico 4, Orcs Must Die, Two Worlds II and Ys Origin right off the bat. Any advice?
Speaking of which, I'm assuming everyone wants L4D2 for the vote? I skimmed the last 5 pages but nothing really registered, too early.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
So far I've bought:
Deus Ex HR ($7.49) - A little LTTP on this, but there was a lot of positive word of mouth on GAF so I decided to check it out at that price.
Binding of Isaac WoL ($0.74) - Binding of Isaac is a pretty good game, played it quite a bit earlier in the year. Not sure if I'll ever dive back into it, but if I do I might as well have the expansion when it's less than a dollar.
Trine 2 ($3.74) - Never completely finished Trine 1, but I enjoyed it enough. I've played about 4-5 hours of Trine 2 so far, and my god it's nice looking. The gameplay is somewhat unchanged, but definitely a little more polished. They removed some of the annoying things that were in Trine 1 like mana. Definitely recommend co-op, as that's how I've been playing it. I think Trine 1's lack of online co-op is what kept me from finishing it, but the sequel fixes this.
Plants VS. Zombies ($2.50) - Apparently everybody already has this, but I didn't. I've actually played it before, several years ago I think, and I really liked it. Might as well have it on Steam.
The only other thing I'm really planning on buying is Arma 2 so I can check out the Day Z mod, but I'm holding out for a flash/daily sale before I buy it. Other than that I might buy a 2-4 dollar game here or there if it's worth checking out.
Also, if you haven't played Super Meat Boy - BUY IT. It's under $4 right now I think, and worth every penny. You kind of need a controller to play it properly though.
