I didn't know that either... First purchase of the sale!
I'm waiting for New Vegas DLC. I'm just hoping it's not a flash deal that I miss.
Blew my chance to get SpaceChem + DLC for $3.00 during its Flash Sale, because I was busy playing the demo. Dammit.
But as it stands, I really like what I've played. SpaceChem's puzzles are open to a lot of solutions, and I can see myself wanting to improve my results. Very smart design on display here. I think I'll buy it anyway

It's ok Salsa, I'm beginning to realise we can't save them all.
We have to let the weak ones go.
Nope, sorry. The games showed up right away for me.

Gah, sorry about that. Not sure how I missed it earlier as saw the other one linked there before (been bouncing around different projects at work while keeping track of the sales so I guess that's part of why).
In Skyrim's case, the launcher downloads/updates subscribed mods.

Escaped today with only Portal 2. Wanted to jump on Rayman, but that may be a daily later on so I passed. I also wish Witcher 2 was the community pick, I would have jumped all over that.
Bring on tomorrow, my wallet is ready

Unless you give in to sleep!
It differs from game to game. Civ V has a mods section that lists the mods you've subscribed to and you download and select them from that menu. Skyrim's launcher handles the mods on that one. Those are the only 2 I have any experience with though.

Hey, guys, friend bought Saints and asked me if I could help him figure something out, but it's beyond me. Is he screwed because there's no answer? His last resort is just uninstalling stuff.
"Again, in summary, my computer's HDD is broken into three sections: C drive (440 GB), SDATA1 (232 GB) and SDATA2 (232 GB). C Drive is now full. I want to install and play Saints. How do I get it to install to the available space on the other drives? And will Steam know to look to each respective drive when pulling a given game? Ideally, I'll be able to toggle some switch, download Saints, and no matter what game I play, no matter where the game is located, it'll find it on the appropriate HDD and boot it up."
Is that even possible? Any help would be great.

But that's only for the weak, so you have nothing to worry about.

You can just set up the alarm to wake you up at the next flash deal. And the next. And the next.

You should know by now that nobody reads the OP once a thread gets this big.

Anyone know how to easily disable DLC from loading in New Vegas?

bad gameplay lol
Alright, managed to get my cart down to only 75% off stuff, save for Geometry Wars which is only 20% off, but I can't see it getting cheaper than $2.99 anyway.
Gonna hold out for further discounts on Ys: Oath in Felghana, Puzzle Quest, Morrowind GOTY, and Star Wars Battlefront II.

Wich is pretty damn stupid if you want an answer to something that's been asked a million times. OP is big and keeps updated for a reason. Im gonna keep posting that every time someone does that to educate them to pay fuckin attention when someone takes the work to do that, instead of spamming the thread.
not talking about you GreatMightySymp, all good

In the launcher there should be a data files option, if you click on that you can tick each box you that want on or off.

Click on data files in the game launcher and uncheck them.
Unless Valve decides that the next two flash deals should have smaller timers.

Literally the only reason I wanted/installed the Steam app was to keep track of their sales.

Probably the flash deal is as cheap as it's going to get, but no one knows for sure. The game has never been less than $15 as a DD.
CK2 has been constantly on sale it seems for the past couple months between here and amazon, which you can get a steam key from, so you may be alright waiting on it.

This could be one of the trickiest questions at this point in the sale. it's only the first day so we haven't really seen enough to somewhat assess that particular possibility. If its discount was higher, it would be a no-brainer, but at 50%... I dunno. Then again you have to consider it's a fairly new game, so maybe it's not likely to go further down in price.
I guess that didn't help at all.

Are any of the CoD games worth picking up on PC? Not interested in paying that much for MW3, but the prices on the older ones (especially if any of them go cheaper during this sale) are very tempting. I've only played 4 and WaW when they were in beta on the 360, never owned or played the series more than that.

How would people compare Back to the Future to Tales of Monkey Island?

Seems like each game in the flash deals have different timers.
I'm really on the fence about Geometry Wars. Having played a lot of Galaxies on the Wii, should I be spending 3 bucks on a single stage game? And similarly, I've beaten both Bit.Trip Beat and Runner on that console, but for $5 I find it pretty difficult to resist grabbing them on Steam...

So glad there is a mobile app, otherwise I would be screwed this weekend.
Yeah it's not fixed to any concrete schedule it seems. Keeps us guessing!
Think about it logically. The thing with the shortest timer will be the best deal.
Edit: 30% trade in bonus at Gamestop towards Steam credit during the sale! OH SHI-
Oh. I skimmed and my comprehension fails pretty hard. That and I'm used to seeing useful content underneath bigger images rather than on top so maybe that's why I missed that one link altogether.

COD,COD2,COD4,COD:WAW.
Waves is 3.00$, 70% off. It's also a single stage but it has a bunch of game different modes and interesting mechanics.
