Flash Deals are in the same category as Daily Deals. So far, they have been the lowest price.

Yeah, flash deals and community deals follow the same rule as dailies, they're all good.
In case you didn't catch my edit:
Haven't played it, but I've heard it's really good.
Gemini Rue is quite good I thought. The puzzles made sense, nothing too hard. The story was decent as well. Probably 5-6 hours of play.
I bought it at full price and didn't feel like I should have paid less, so getting it on sale is bonus!

It's amazing. Amazing in every aspect, except maybe one silly character portrait near the end of the game. But it's really, really good. Like a cross of Cowboy Bebop and Blade Runner.

If anyone has picked up payday and wants to play sometime my steam id is plbelanger. Haven't installed yet but for later 
Man, why did you have to point this out. The bundles have been terrible so far but this one's more targeted to me, the big three here are all ones I've wanted to try.
I have this controller:

But it only seems to work right with like 1/3 of the PC games I ever get. I wish some GAF person hadn't recommended it, I got it for like $11 thinking it would be a nice gateway into PC gaming for me but it mainly causes headaches and annoyances, I hope I can get it to work with these games but fiddling around fills me with dread. Is there an easy way for me to check to see if I'm in the clear? Google is kind of a mess with this stuff.

So people that have played Tropico 4.
Differences bettwen 3 (the one I have) and 4? Better or worse? Constrution options to make the island of your dreams?
Do I need the modern times DLC?, seems a little bit shitty without it.

I heard there were some issues running KOTOR on Windows 7. Did anyone experience any problems?

Better UI and the quest system makes the game more playable. Modern Times add many new buildings and features and a nice campaign. I'd say buy both.

If the issue is that it's not XInput / 360 controller compatible, check out x360ce. The lack of analog triggers might an issue in certain games, still.
Very solid adventure game. I found the voice acting to be passable with an interesting story and great atmosphere. Mechanics seemed to work quite well but it does get a little pixel hunty at certain points.

Choplifter HD my good man. It's fun and only 2.50 right now!
Wait for the daily deals.

No, it will probably be a daily or flash deal.

It could turn up as a daily or flash again. Just wait until the final day and see.
Ys Origin was a missed community choice, and it's now a flash sale. There's no reason you shouldn't wait until the final day to see if Witcher 2 goes further on sale.
Fixed.
Warnings in the OP need to be updated.
It will return. Losing a community vote only delays the sale.

You're the first person I've seen in this thread to include "my first Steam sale" that wasn't followed by a long list of games that haven't had a daily/flash/community sale. Well done!
And you might as well buy the Borderlands GOTY and scratch that off your wishlist!
I had fun with it but knew it would have been so much better with more people. Because of this I got bored about ~10 hours in.
Wait, are you sure? I don't recall Ys Origin being up for voting in any of the past community choice polls.
Are you waiting for it to go lower? It's currently at 7.99, a great price for the game if you ask me.

Might want to be careful advertising the sale of 4 pack deals. Didn't somoene on reddit get banned for soliciting the sale of games circumventing regional restrictions?
In other news, Rayman is delightful (shock horror, someone playing games)

People showed up, problem was the game they bought. Brink was a paid beta basically. What potential community they could have had, vanished in a couple of weeks.
Also, I don't know if they ever got the game properly working for AMD/ATi users.

Absolutely 0. The game was basically targeted at Europe only. Although it is available in the US, it doesn't have any artwork on Steam on your wish list for example. It's a totally neglected title. It will not be a daily deal.
I gifted it to Kabouter a few years ago and thought the same thing then, hahahah.
Haha I am so inept at fiddling was hoping to avoid using something like this. But I'll keep it in mind thanks.
I think the only big thing I was hoping to grab during this sale that I will miss out on is Heroes of Might and Magic VI. I skipped the game for $25 during the winter sale, so I am not paying that price 7 months later. Hopefully by the next winter sale it will either get a steeper discount or a MSRP price cut. $15 is the most I am willing to spend on it and $10 would be ideal.
Almost bought the ubisoft pack, but decided against it. I wish Ubi games dropped in price quicker and didn't often have horrible DRM...

I thought I might as well break the cycle lol.
I have actually put over 400 hours into Borderlands on the 360, but I am considering double-dipping as I will sell my 360 when my gaming rig is complete.

I believe this is due to the buyer using a Proxy or private VPN to bypass regional prices.
I know what you mean. I'm at work right now and watching that time tick down on Ys forced me to buy it along with Kotor.

No, Ys Origin hasn't been up for voting.
On the other hand, Brink was up for voting, and it was a platform of 66% off, not the 75% off that it has on the flash deal. So yeah, missed community choices can and has come back as flash sales and dailies, and possibly with a bigger discount.
