A lot of us stay a year or so behind on PC releases and save a whole lot of money, so when it comes to know what's coming up or the latest and greatest, we aren't as up-to-date.

Hey, you guys complaining about slow download speeds? I pull about 150KB from steam all the time. Be happy with what you have :p.

Too true.

Even though I have a PC that runs 0 of these games I will be watching this sale so when the time finally arrives I will drown in the awesome.

BIT.TRIP has some fucking awesome music. The $2.50 was worth it just for the menu music.

Game is fucking frustrating so now instead of playing it I'm just sitting on the main menu.

God damnit.

I decided against buying The Witcher 2 today at EB Games, and I come home to find this sale. I have the client open, and I'm deciding.

To South America? It was already there.
But yeah... I guess New York has way more bandwidth. Now it's going at full speed.
Thanks =).

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?

Well Dead Island doesn't appear to be on the Australian Steam Store, but thanks to others suggestions I've now got 14 on my wishlist.

Ended up grabbing Bit.Trip.Runner after watching some gameplay, what an addictive little game. So simple, yet so excellent. Unlike it's older brother, fuck that game TO HELL!

Should I buy the Killing Floor complete pack now or wait for a daily, not sure if it's going to show up there for some reason what with the killing floor event.

Guess I'll just wait, it won't go higher, lol.

Killing Floor has been featured on pretty much every Steam sale ever. Plus i'm sure they throw it on the daily sale to promote the new DLC.

As if we all didn't have the games already but the Valve pack is an incredible deal. $50 for every game in their library, including Portal 2. Entire Half Life series, TF2, L4D1/2, Portal 1/2. It's like you're stealing from them.

Where are you?

Also I'm surprised anyone is having trouble with the BEAT challenge. Like the only time the game throws more then one pellet at you in the first phase is in three easily predictable shots.

Almost tempted to pick up Terraria (-25%), but guess this goes on a daily deal sooner or later. Also anyone done the magicka summer achievements yet? I think one of these is gonna be worth a ticket sooner or later.

anyone has any record of a game not having a sale-long discount being featured as a daily deal?

Kinda lost hope on Mirror's Edge and Psychonauts by now :/ neither are currently discounted at all.

Animator. Respect knuckles.
Is the Prize Booth going to change every day, or will it stay with those items all through the sale? I have 3 tickets so far and kind of want the Defense Grid maps but if I can hold off deciding until I get more tix that would be swell.

Just guessing what tomorrows ticket games are going to be, judging from their recent updates;

Magicka
Mount&Blade Warband
Worms Reloaded

Worms is just a wild guess since they released DLC today for it.

Strange, I was sure Psychonauts was discounted earlier. There's no EA games discounted are there? Seems EA are done with that, which is disappointing for me, there's a few of theirs I want to grab.
