STOP SHITTING ON MY MOTHER'S HEADSTONE

Only purchase today for me was the Valve Complete Pack (new PC owner and I only owned Portal). After day one, I'm already down $50, lol.

Cannot wait to get started on the Half Life series.
Best value in gaming, that pack right there.

Mehrunes Razor adds about an hour and a half of dungeon, and easily the largest, best dungeon in the game.

Other than that, it's a few decent looking new homes, an easier way to get spells (can find them in books), and horse armor.

Holy crap, Bloodlines is on sale! $13.39!
Oh man, I might have to get it at this price, but what if it's a daily deal?! Augh!
It probably won't show up in a daily sale . . . but who knows?

Sooo... is there a chance that Dawn of War: Retribution will go any cheaper, or is THIS the "daily deal" that we're supposed to wait for when buying stuff? I've been waiting for that one to go on sale for a while.
 
Damn it, I almost had perfect for the first level of Bit.Trip Beat. This is really difficult.

Edit: I said almost, but almost was very wrong. This is impossible.

They should put Team Fortress 2 in one of the sales boxes with "FREE!" next to it. Just expose that a little more to people coming in for the sale.
 
Oh YEAH glad I waited!!!

Borderlands GOTY 4 pack for $22.49 So what, $5.65 each :)

I have never gifted before and I'm worried I would stuff it, anyone else willing to host?

1.
2. Sutton Dagger
3. RoaringHawk
4. Kaizen

It's now 5:42AM here in Aus, I need some sleep. If anyone is willing to host let us know via PM or you can add me on Steam under Sutton_Dagger. Cheers

lol @ everyone that waited on that SSFIV: AE deal, did you think it was going to go lower? If it looks too good to be true, you gotta ninja that shit. Lock it down.

Yeah, that Valve pack is amazing. That could be thousands of hours of gameplay when you consider the mods, the user created levels, the free DLC Valve gives out, etc.

HL1 is the only game I really want from the Valve pack, but for $6.69? Not sure, and I don't know when I would get around to playing it.

I'm on vacation and nowhere near my PC, but I'm buying games right now through my iPad browser with no wait. If there is a log jam, try the steam web based store. Of course, you won't be able to straight download and play, but it'll add the game into your library and you can download it later when the store isn't getting jackhammered by the credit cards of a thousand nerds all at once.

People will see it's in their library when they go to install/play games though, won't they? Or do you need to add free-to-play games to your library?

Bought RUNNER and Recettear. Gonna crack upon RUNNER whilst Recettear download

It's listed on the home page under "daily deals"

So it is a daily deal.

Lame, the Swords and Soldiers achievement is bugged.
Yeah it's unlocking the wrong achievement, Lost Vikings, which has to do with the Chinese campaign(dont even have it yet).

Picked up Bit.Trip Runner for today, been wanting to get that for awhile.

Need to figure out what to add to my wish list...

I'm going to laugh if Bloodlines is one of those games that gets taken off sale earlier then expected.
That's why I'm biting my nails at not buying it right now. Why must I listen to the rationale of GAF members?!

I don't have very many steam friends either, but the more the better.

What few friends I do have are gaffers who have went in and bought 4 packs with me in the past.
