...shit
You're thinking of Black Ops.
Edit: I misread "Mic" as "Mac". But my underlying point still stands -- Steam-friendly Modern Warfare keys are SteamPlay.

I'm praying SimCity 4 goes back to $4.99...

Yup. You've got the greatest RPG of all time in there, along with loads of other RPG goodness. So it's all good.
Don't listen to people who suggest you should get rid of BG1. It's much easier to learn the AD&D 2nd Edition systems in BG1, given that you start at 1st level, and you'll miss out on quite a bit of story. The low-level wilderness exploration in BG1 is also pretty cool.
Just picked up Baldurs Gate 2 Enchanced Edition! Haven't played a game in this series before, but It seems like a great classic western RPG and I ended up winning another M&M 6$ yesterday which was perfect to get BG2. I was told the first game isn't truly connected story wise so I should be fine starting at BG2 hopefully. So many new games added to my library during this Steam Sale.
Valiant Hearts has surprised me also. I ended up getting the game for a key during the Russian mispricing, and I didn't know what to expect for this game or how it was even gonna play since all i'd seen of it was the E3 trailer. Such a fun experience so far, just got to Chapter 3. Pretty much been playing one whole chapter a sitting. I like the puzzle solving as well, that dog is too cute.
Also gotta thank Phoenix296, woke up this morning to find out I got gifted The Swapper! Thanks again Pheonix! <3

Encore of democracy doesnt work.
I think people were suggesting to ditch it on a matter of praticality. People have jobs and less time. Realistically who is going to actually play two old games of that scope and size in 2014? My guess is almost nobody. Maybe if you were a student that literally had nothing to do all summer.

Bummed that UT2004 and Rainbow Six 3 never went on sale.
UT had a chance but the community blew it. Damn you!

Ah thank you!
Just to clarify, one more flash sale and one more community sale then I can buy without worrying?

I still have the boxes when i purchased them on release. Havent played them in over a decade ( though got them with a gamersgate sale along with icewind dale and planescape:torment about a year ago)
The nostalgia with visual improvements is what is driving my desire to purchase them ( for both).
I think i will just close my eyes and take the leap of faith with based gaben on my side.
Doesn't "encore" implies that it has been on sale before?
But hey, maybe they'll display a huge banner saying "we asked our community if they wanted to put Ikaruga in encore, and they voted no".
Maybe they'll have a "The deals that didn't make it!" category and we'll get Ikaruga AND Double Dragon!
dreams, sweet dreams

You can get it cheap on gog summer sale at the moment http://www.gog.com/promo/summer_unreal_bundle_140614
I played a few matches on Kingdoms Rise.
I was expecting a bad War of the Roses clone, but the game was pretty enjoyable even though it's still in early access and pretty light on content. To my surprise, I had no difficulty finding matches (guess the Flash sale for the game boosted the player count) and the whole experience was relatively lag free.
At the main screen, you create your character using a pretty deep customization system . At the start of each match, you choose your sword type, a secondary weapon and two spells. What's really good about the game is that everything is unlocked from the start except cosmetic stuff for your character, which is gained through leveling. Also I didn't notice players abusing a specific weapon/spell combo so kudos to the developers for balancing the game so early. It's also a pretty easy game to get into. There are no in-game tutorials (they are available as videos in the game's site I think) so I jumped into multiplayer immediately and did very well, despite not being very good in this type of games. The combat and animations are pretty clunky but I grew used to it after War of the roses and war of the vikings
There is still some time left for the Flash deal, so if you can get it cheap via a four pack, go for it

What be quite the big Valve troll action ;D
I'm pretty sure UT2004 popped up a few times on GOG. Might want to check there.

Still debating these:
Killer is Dead,
Double Dragon: Neon,
Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae,
Always Sometimes Monsters,
Astebreed,
Crimzon Clover: World Ignition
Any of these I should avoid? I don't have much time left to decide on KiD.
Haha I'm still debating Crimzon Clover as well. Just won another M&M money but now the site is down. Gonna either use it for Crimzon Clover cause I can never have enough bullet hell shmup, or Baldurs Gate 1 EE.

Been reading through this thread. Mostly negative stuff about Deadlight. Any defenders?

Double Dragon Neon is WAY BETTER than it has any right to be. Especially if you are playing it coop with a friend (find a friend!)

All of them are good, I think?
I don't have much experience with Always Sometimes and Astebreed, but I'm considering grabbing Astebreed before the sale ends.
As far as KiD, buy it now. Immediately.
I was going to give one away but didn't honestly expect it to go on sale at this point and now my funding is hurting (I've given away way more than I planned to...)

Not sure what happened. Crafted the sale badge, then it gave me a notice how with specific guest cards me and my friends can play specific games for free for a period of time. I clicked on it, and it just took me to the badges page.
I decided to wait. Cool aesthetics but the reviews were baaaaad.
Same thing happened to me yesterday.
Looking around, it seems that there was an "exploit" that was found out about last night and people were able to win multiple times in a single day. Hopefully, they'll get that sorted out without shutting down the entire promotion.I think the M&M site is down at the moment. We might have broke it.
yeah i get that every time i craft a summer badge too
Eh, for that price and with the lack of character action games on Steam, I'd say it's worth it:
