Got Frozen Synapse, Bully and Fallout NV DLC from yesterday's deals; wasn't entirely sure on Bully, but for 3.74 it was like "eh, why not".
Kinda weird that I claimed 2 prizes and they don't show on my profile though...

This sometimes happens to me when I try to download EVERYTHING at once (like 6 games or so) check if maybe your just trying to dl too many things at once and if you really want to do them all at once then pause each download before you start a new one. Hopefully that works for ya.Nemesis556 said:

I forgot about that. And I just did it with Crysis 2 last night. Well, I'd much rather wait for DS2 to be $15 or less anyhow.Dipswitch said:

You better change your priorities to what I just fixed for you or else you are a terrible person. That's what the test results said.

Toma, thanks for your post about Frozen Synapse. I kept getting the vague impression this game was like the planning phase of earlier PC Rainbow Six games, and one minute into the video that's been confirmed. Suddenly very interested in this.
Watching the rest of the video now, knowing I've got less than 20 minutes to pull the trigger.
EDIT: Yea that's it. Soundtrack version bought.

The issue could be that the content server Steam trying to connect to is being hammered and as such it can't quite get over the final hurdle of the install process; that is, initialising the download.

There aren't too many more games I'm looking to get this sale. (unless something surprises me)
Bulletstorm (likely will get a daily)
Wolfenstein (probably WONT get a daily, but I'll still buy it since it hasn't been on sale in over a year if not longer)
Aquaria (will get, but I'm waiting for a daily)
Capsized (might get, will get if daily)
Civ 5 (will get if daily)
Bulletstorm (likely will get a daily)
Wolfenstein (probably WONT get a daily, but I'll still buy it since it hasn't been on sale in over a year if not longer)

I get so nervous during steam sales. I'm scared I'll get too big of a backlog and most of the games I've bought will go on sale for even cheaper before I have a chance to even play them. The last time I can remember it happening was with The Witcher. I think it went on sale for either $5 or $7 right around the time I actually started to play it. I think I payed around $20 for it during a sale.

It's 75% off now. Even if it did became a daily deal you wouldn't save more than a dollar.

15 gb haha...Smokey said:
So I went to install Alpha Protocol today and it says that is is only 1110MB. I thought that seemed pretty low and and than when I actually started downloading I noticed is was actually about 11,000MB. Even when I check the properties and disk usage on steam it says it is only 1110MB. Werd glitch. Anybody else notice that?
And I'm a whore. Picked up the Doom pack with 10 minutes to go. Sigh. I did take on an extra 12 hours of work though over last weekend for this sale, so I guess everything is good...as long as I keep rationalizing it to myself.
Even though it shows 200 games now, I own 80games. Really wish I could get rid of the free ones, and mods, and 30 ones I don't want, and left overs from Indie packs. And make that Sega pack count as one and not 47 >_>

No Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition pre-loading has me bummed. Means I can't play it when it's released in an hour. At least it's only 4.5 gigs though.
