I can help you in a couple hours if you still need it by then. Most people on the public servers are farming it, you just gotta hope that some random jackass doesn't come in and ruin it.

Thanks, myself and a few other gaffers just got it, took us a while to wade through the random players trying to ruin it for us though.

Do today's achievements have to be done today or can you do them on another day of the sale?

Can I still complete Achievements for previous days and earn Tickets?

Yes. A list of previous day’s Achievements can be found here. They can be completed through the last day of the Steam Summer Camp Sale.

Is Last Remnant supposed to be good? I thought it was supposed to be shit like Infinite Undiscovery.

It's awesome. The 360 version ran like crap, but the PC version is buttah.

It's totally different than IU, but if you're not a fan of jrpgs, then you probably won't like it.

Don't get brink or cod, they're awful

This man speaks the truth. After not so patiently waiting, and eagerly anticipating Brink, I finally had to admit to myself after blowing $60 on it.... it sucks, really really bad

Alright, final tally for today:

Recettear
Back to the Future
Bit.Trip Runner (I wanted the achievement from beat, but runner looks more interesting to me and i'm not going to waste money for some meta-game ;)

Total - $19.99

I heard they made changes to make the PC version better. Can't vouch for how good it is, but I am also waiting for a good sale to check it out.

My attempt at winning Recettear was posted at the end of the last page. If I don't win, I'm going to attribute it to this fact, rather than its quality being poor.

As you were.

Friend just brought to my attention that Puzzle Agent 2 is out. Fuck yeah!

edit: That means I've got a copy of Puzzle Agent 1 to gift or trade.

Hmm, I already beat Borderlands 4 times, bought the dlc, and platinum'd it a year ago (ps3), but $7.50 for the pc version is mighty tempting...

Wait, it's just me or the games are downloading sooooo slow?
Click to expand...

Has to be you, I began downloading Bit.Trip.Runner and before I finished closing the steam window to let it download in the background it was already finished. I've had great speed all day unlike previous sales. Must be the extra bandwidth they got when they made TF2 F2P lol

I have 8 games in my wishlist and even a few of those were put there just to get numbers up.

What the shit does everyone have in their wishlist?
Click to expand...

You can add games that aren't out yet and win those if that helps. RAGE, Deus Ex, Stronghold 3, Dead Island, Metro Last Light. I'm not sure if they need to be available for preorder though so I added a few pad games just in case. Hard to believe you can't find more than 10 games you want. Are you sure you should be on a gaming board?

Okay, better example. Around 2pm eastern, I check steam to see the sale, store isn't coming up at all. I read on GAF there are tickets and Lead & Gold are one of the games, I begin downloading that 1.3gb file, it took only 5-10 minutes. Change your download location, see if that works.

Steam sales arent about playing games but collecting them and savouring the "omggg i got this game for cheap" moments
