Wondering this too. I heard it was bad at release but I wonder if they've patched it up since.

Got both trines and will get Darksiders later today hopefully.
It's okay pal. Just make a "Bin of Forever Shame" category in your Steam library. It will serve as the dark oblivion where unwanted games lie down to die, forgotten by all men.

Ok, is Star Wars: Force Unleashed 2 controller enabled?
thanks
thanks
Errr good luck with that... Trine 1 is still $2.49 today at 75% off.
Trine 2 only came out this year and has excellent ratings, it's a bargain at $3.74!

Whoops, Clash of Heroes is not a strategy game like I thought. More of a puzzle game. Oh well, perhaps its fun anyway.
My method is to use categories (which btw, you can backup, they're in the steam/userdata/lotsofnumbers/7 folder so just back that up in case of Steam shenanigans) to manage my Steam library. I do it like this:
*Cleared
*Re-buys (games I played already on another platform, but may want to play again on PC)
*Junk (I'll NEVER play these, some I've tried and some not)
*Want to play (this is the big one. I look at every one of those games and think "I really want to play this)
*Maybe want to play (this is for all those bundle tag-alongs, purchases you slightly regret, etc.).
Then whenever I want to play a game, I start in the "want to play" category. I probably won't touch "maybe want to play" until I have no "want to play" games. That way my backlog seems much smaller, and I actually want to play all the games in it! Mediocrity can wait (likely forever)

Earlier people were saying it's not as good nor well received as the earlier titles.
It's apparently leeway, word is they did this in the last sale although I didn't notice.
Would someone from the us gift me the keys for : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083W649I/?tag=neogaf0e-20
I will pay with paypal

So you're saying it's well worth the price.

No it's fairly strategic. There are pure puzzle challenges but main battles are basically making strategic decisions about the combinations to make. It's also quite fun.
They already did this last sale, the daily deals last more than 24 hours for late buyers. So we'll have two sets of dailies overlapping for 12 hours this sale.
Of course we'll get new daily deals in 6 hours, don't worry.

Probably leeway, they did I last sale, having 4 hours where two sets of daily deals overlap, and I'd guess they're going to do the same thing again.
Play a game, something cheerful.

It was a mess at release. Nothing about it was fun, everything was missing or buggy and it was a big let down.
I haven't tried it recently, but if you read the patch notes they at least trying to fix it up. I suppose that in itself might allow some sort of steam sale support.

That's actually quite clever, I should use something like this :O

You don't need gifting if you have a debit/credit card. Just input a US adress (a real one, from a company or something) as your billing address and you can buy them yourself.
Ah thanks, I think it was like 2 hours though, I mean the last sale's leeway. I needs them deals :/
it's awesome if its anything like the DS game. I'm thinking about getting it myself

So we have ONE steam summer sale achievement and a few badges... who else thinks there might be some free dlc or games again?
I enjoyed Trine quite a bit. I'm picking up Trine 2.

Tribe 1 is great but the last level is horrible. I've only played the first hour of 2 and its at least as good so far.
Yes they are fun and have interesting puzzles. It's worth it, the story is also interesting.
Also, thanks Lancehead255.
Anyone?
I did a quick search for you and it seems it support a controller. At least most of the people confirm this.
I had this question before, GAFfers told me you can't, sorry.

It's a bad action game. You'll end up button mashing before too long, but then you'll realise that you can't cancel any moves or interrupt any of your combos. If you've jammed on the X button 10 times but you need to block an attack right now then you're just outta luck; the designers apparently didn't account for that possibility.
Also it's a 30GB download.

After playing for a little bit I agree and it looks soooo nice. Perhaps a good buy after all.

never thought I'd see this...
Probably everybody died of sleep deprivation trying to catch all the flash deals.

If you like physics based puzzle platformers then yes!

Can anybody tell me what the flash sales were before the current ones to that I know what I missed? Were they anything particularly good?
EDIT: Ekim, No, Saints Row 3.

Deus Ex -75% and Rayman Origins -50% are some pretty good ones.
Alright, I've got three codes for the following games to give away:
Syberia I
Supreme Commander 2
Psychonauts
One per person. Post if you're interested, I will PM you the code. I don't like doing the e-mail tag thingy. Also, please only post if you actually intend to PLAY the game in question.

Yes, yes it is. Be careful
I've been good and not bought anything yet
Waiting for the Walking Dead to drop further and may get the DLC for BoI and Frozen Synapse.
