I din't mean that in a condescending way at all. Should have worded it differently.
What I meant is I learnt about pc deals, tips and news from him. He's very helpful.
Shucks, I have no way with words :/

Speaking of bugs, my friend bought the BattleBlock Theater co-op pack and sent me a copy. Somehow, I received two, so I thought that he forgot to redeem one for himself. However, the game was in his Steam library...
So I somehow got a mystery 3rd copy to gift to a friend.

No one? Or does this not exist?
starcraft 2? I really wouldn't be sure what that mixture would look like, perhaps some of the older games like rise of nations might fit the bill (I haven't played it).
Welp that answers that then. Thanks guys.
Happy end of Steam sale everyone, I'm going to bed.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
So, if I understand this correctly: This is the last Flash and Daily Sale, which means Double Dragon Neon won't get any cheaper?
Those Community voters didn't know what's good for them!

well, even so, what about species equality?
too many zombies can kill you too, even a zombie, you know
Valve didn't even bother to translate this "29 Votes" information for the German page...
So this happened...
Yeah, cancel is the only option -- the game isn't DD-friendly. Good ol' Strategy First.
Assuming there's to be one, yes.

Hope there will be need to get rising
Thanks! I never get timezones right, so it's easier to ask >_<'
Guess that means it's time to buy a few games, then...
Haha, I've played thousands of games of SC2
But its focus on economy is more like AoE2 (important, but very barebones) compared to the Anno series (indepth, meat of the game). I guess more precisely I crave something with the city-building/trading aspects of Anno but without its really shitty combat. Regardless thanks, I'll check out RoN as I see it just got a re-release.Some sales ago a Steam friend of mine got a The Force Unleashed 2 gift from an American dealer (ruskies weren't a thing back then) which somehow didn't vanish upon activation. He gave it to me and I was able to use it a second time. Sometimes you get lucky, probably a rare result of server hiccups.
Card City Nights from the same developer as Ittle Dew is great. It's a little unbalanced, but it's the type of game I've wanted another of since the Pokemon TCG for Gameboy (apparently that was the developer's inspiration for it too)--a game where you can design your own decks from card booster packs without having to pay to win for them with micro transactions. It's single player only and starts out simply, but gets more complex and is worth well over the $2 sale price; I've put nearly 20 hours in and still haven't beaten all the post game content.

If you're a fan of Kairo, I can easily suggest 3 titles.
The first is Ether One, which just about swept me off of my feet when I first played it. It's a puzzle oriented exploration game where you travel through the memories of a person trying to piece everything back together by putting things back the way they were when the memory was created. Puzzles are very well integrated into the world - stuff like finding out the exact time a shipment left a boat dock, taking an action to ensure a future event could occur or even retracing someone's routine. You never have to worry about being stuck though. The game progresses simply by finding red ribbons in the memory. The puzzles are 99% optional and only serve to flesh out the mystery and show the depth of the world. A modern Myst with vague hints of Dear Esther, just less maudlin.
The second is NaissanceE. This is probably the most similar to Kairo in that it features completely abstract minimalist constructions and does an excellent job making you feel like the last person alive in the world. It's like the art-house film loving, Alvin Lucier studying brother of Kairo. There are no audio diaries or logs to dig through. Just chilling remnants of a world that left you behind.
The third and last is FRACT OSC. Strap on your glowbands and pop in that Autechre minidisc. Simply genius designwork went into building a world around visually representing 3 different parts of dance music and basing puzzles around a set of unique mechanics for each. As you bring life slowly back to the giant machine everything gets a little more active and colorful. There's a rave bubbling under your feet at all times. On top of being an awesome and sleek puzzler it serves another purpose. As you solve puzzles you unlock instruments and features for your Studio which acts as a simple but fairly powerful Digital Audio Workstation. Mess with sequencers for the instruments, cue in reverb and tone shifts among half a dozen other tweaks per instrument and build entire songs from scratch. It's almost an educational tool leading up to the big game of "Now make me a song, motherfucker".
They're all a little bit higher up than Kairo's price but those are three of my gems for that category and really anybody who enjoys that type of play should invest in one or all of said games.

bad gameplay lol
Yeah, I've had Card City Nights on my wishlist since it came out. If I can get a bit more card money before the sale ends I'll pick it up (can't spend anything more at this point, heh). But yeah, I do really want it.
Thanks for the recommendations. I'll put them on my wishlist for the next sale.
EDIT: Actually no, now that I look at them. The minimum specs for all three are way too high for my PC to handle. :lol Still, I'll keep them in mind for the future.
Wait it is then. Thank you.
just realised the sale came and went with no Dreadout daily/flash, even tho the devs implied there would be one (they said on the forums something like "we submitted a higher discount to valve").
I really wonder what the process for these sales is

Sounds logical to me
If I understand it correctly, you can submit a price to be used in the event that Valve chooses you for a daily/flash/vote, but that doesn't necessarily mean that your game will be selected to appear as one.
anyone else notice ubisoft raising the price of far cry 3 during the sale so the discount percentage looks better
lol
This is illegal in Sweden funnily enough.

No Community Vote... and the last vote was shitty as fuck. Aliens vs Zombies. This is how you end Community Votes.
There goes my dream of HMH2 -50%
or Always Sometimes Monsters -30%
or Damned -75%
or Retro Game Crunch -50%

Grats Steam Community for voting out Divinity, GOLF & OOTP '15 mega discounts in favour for games that have had huge discounts before... and had huge discounts several times during this very sale. Well done.
chubigans said he put a 80% discount for a flash/community sale on CSD
volvo didn't care

VERY interesting. and slightly disgusting with the amount of repeats, and yet they obviously get more requests for featured bigger discounts than they actually use

idk man that extra 3 bucks is holding me back CONVINCE ME
also I don't like how stupidly stingy valve is being with this whole sales selection thing. I miss indie packs that highlighted subgenres of things that would otherwise be ignored individually discounted fairly steeply and slightly more discounted when bought all together. Doesn't help that most of my wishlist is indie stuff so it has zero chance of showing up when some games show up like 3 times in one sale

Just 2 games that would have had saved the entire Summer Sale.
Ilegal in UK too, can imagine it's illegal in most consumer friendly countries.
It wouldn't bother me as much if the repeats made sense, like I wouldn't raise an eyebrow at DayZ being a featured sale every single day since it's so ridiculously popular, but some of the repeats are just confusing. Democracy 3 was almost up for a repeat! I'm sure it's a good game and all, but really? That's what gets two chances?
The way it turned out makes it look like the sale coordinator was just being extraordinarily lazy.

We've know this for years but I imagine the gap between the possible deals and actual ones has increased to absurd levels which is why I hoped for a different format or at least more flash/daily deals.

Has anyone here played Kairo or other cheap puzzle games?
I don't get repeats on regular sale dales at all, there are thousands games on steam, and for popular games there is encore day. Why would we need repeats?
Could users from EU countries sue Ubisoft?

Since Wolfenstein got 50% so soon I was hoping the same would happen with KiD, I already bought the PS3 version so I'll wait for the Christmas sale to double-dip.

Yep. It's my birthday and I want to share some leftover games I had with you guys. It may not be much, but I hope some people still want to get some FEAR or Batman.
Also I didn't include the Lurker restriction, because these threads move so fast during sale. Thank you for this great community. I also hid a steamgifts giveaway link in Email tags in this post. It's for 5 copies of Lara Croft & the Guardian of Light with required contribution of 30.01 on steamgifts (that's bundle games and at least one non bundle game given away).
