Think The Witcher 2 will be on sale again during this summer sale? My friend missed it but wants the game.

I'm sure it will be probably on the last day where they will redo the bigger sales like previous sales.

Does anyone want to go do today's L4D2 ticket achievement with me? I haven't played L4D is quite some time and was never great, so I'm hoping to play on an easier difficulty with people who won't get annoyed by my noobness...

It says any difficulty, you can do it on very easy by yourself in 15 minutes. I'll do it with you if you want, when can you? I'm eating dinner in a minute.

I could maybe see it reappearing last day, but I doubt it pulled the giant numbers some of the other, cheaper games did. I would imagine it won't make the list, but I hope, for your friend's sake, it does.

The last day is usualy just a recap of the best daily deals throughout the sale. So if you haven't missed anything then there's nothing new.

I just figured it'd be more enjoyable to play with some Gaffers who might also be new to the game today given the cheap price.

If not already said quick way to find out how to do achievements. Look at the forums for that specific game on Steam. Its probably a bit late for the OP mind but it might be handy for the 2 of you that see this thinking "how can I get the ticket for x".

That reminds me before I leave for Holiday on Friday, I can get 2122 tickets and thus all the content for games I own (though I'm not sure some of it will get used like the AaAaAA!!! multiplayer and the Serious Sam characters) but it requires an easy one tomorrow and outside of that the following:
-Spam friend (I've added a few people but they don't show up on my list I guess they have to confirm or something...)
-Recommend games (can I do this before having any friends?)
-Post screenhot (Except I posted a screenshot and got nothing for it)
-AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity
-Joly rover
-Beat Hazard (I've found the song now if only the bosses didn't keep dying)
-Atom Zombie Smasher
-Watch and download trailer
-Audiosurf

22 tickets got.

I'm guessing I'm going to have a hard time finding any US GAFfer's willing to host a L4D2 4 pack? I'm in Aus so I can't host it myself (we have the censored version), and most Steam users probably already own it :(

This is a god among men. Just saying. Thanks so much! (now to enjoy the agony of snail-like Steam d/l speeds!)

I got the TF2 shades, Portal 2 gear, and Killing Floor characters. Dunno what else to get with the tickets I have.

Edit: seems like the video upload achievement was removed.

Get dlc for games you might buy later? I'm thinking of doing that for x3, DoW Retribution & fate of the world.

That's cool. I don't recognize the campaign name. They must've added some since launch.

I've been buying games on Steam since Summer last year. Stop being so butthurt, answer my question.
Click to expand...
You are the one who filled that thread with ridiculous opinions and hyperbole about Steam, which you yourself eventually said came down ENTIRELY to Steam's supposedly high prices, and now here you are a short three weeks later trying to buy cheap games on Steam...

Welcome to the party, pal. If you can get in, that is.

Atom Zombie Smasher is surprisingly awesome. Mix of a puzzle game and tower defense while you have to airlift people out of the cities you're defending. Units level up and you can do additional research as you rescue scientists.

Add to that a RISK like map, nice humour and catchy music and this might be the best find in this sale for me.

In short:

ATOM ZOMBIE SMASHER BUY BUY BUY

So what's wrong with Batman's DRM?
And how fun is L4D2 for a FPS noob? Is it only fun in co-op? I just got into TF2 and I'm loving it.

Oh woops, I read your question wrong. You can't buy Vietnam on Steam unless you own it on Steam.

Oh, alright. That sucks lol.

BTW what do you guys think of the Frozenbyte collection:
Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds Survivor, Trine for 7.50

It looks like a pretty good deal to me. Are there any other collections under $10 that are this good or better?

Yes! This man speaks truth! Buy this game. Glad to see someone else posting positive impressions for this little gem. :)

edit: Awesome, Sanctum is a no-brainer for me tomorrow.
