Haha that's what I'm doing too. I haven't made a purchase yet this sale and when something I'm kind of interested in hits <$5 and I'm still waffling. Another sypmtom of the Steam Sale Syndrome.

Not if they all get gifted to him lol.You'll be back for dealz eventually
Hitman will be $20 on Amazon from the 30th - 5th and it's Steam redeemable.

$30 is too much

Just be aware when you're playing it that it is a clunky port. The menu interfaces don't use keyboard and mouse conventions and it uses GameSpy for MP. The sequel is a much better port. The menus are still a little weird though.

11 hours 8 minutes and counting. T_T
Would you reccomend Arma 2 as a standalone experience? Seems quite janky from DayZ footage like I say, but I don't know if that's Arma 2 or if it's the effects of a (total conversion?) mod being applied on top.

Wow didn't all these deals show up day one as dailys? I think Dishonored was second or third day. And I just bought Half Life Collection thanks to another Gaffer pointing out it was 75% off. And I missed another give away. Maybe I should let my parents starve. I could get a free game.

Any chance FTL goes lower then $7.49 or Don't Starve goes lower then $11.99?

Alan Wake looks amazing on PC. You will be pleased!
People need to mind their own business regarding who gifts what to who.
How is your opinion even worth anything if it is strictly a gifter/gifted thing? Yoshi is getting gifts because people want to give him stuff, its not like he's stealing or begging or anything. He posts the gifts here to thank and let people know these users are kind. Dat jealousy that some here are showing is pretty disgusting, specially around christmas.

Half Minute Hero looks absolutely hilarious ... but I'm low on funds and if Awesomenauts doesnt get a flash/daily then I wouldn't be able to afford it if I picked it up for the current price. Here's crossing my fingers~

FTL was cheaper not long ago.
There's a chance, yes. It's still early days yet.

Wha? Why do you have to wait? I must have missed something.
You could always split Don't Starve with someone else at $6 each.

I think you have ulterior motives. I saw the Hitman Forum post about you.
I found the game all around amazing. The story was AMAZING. I need to play through it again. Although I wanted the limited edition for 360 because nice it looked. It looked like a book with a smaller book inside and a DVD and the game. All in side one book.

Don't Starve won't be going any lower, according to the developer's twitter. I'll try to find the link.
Edit: Anddddd, I can't find the twitter post. >_< But I swear I saw it somewhere.
I'm not a fan of JRPGs, really. Though I like the Pokemon games, and Paper Mario is one of my favorite franchises (not sure if they qualify).
If the short timer makes the game kinda similar to WarioWare, color me interested!
The EU release date isn't until February, so those within Europe who have purchased an Amazon key and wish to play the game now have to either use a US VPN or run the exe from the installation folder.
Hitman is the only game there I don't have, but fuck it I'm voting for Blands 2. After hearing the Hitman impressions $20 seems way too much.
I assume you wanted RE5.
I liked the game on the Xbox back when I played it, but having the complete version is a must-buy.
Might get American Nightmare while I'm at it. Is it good?
I'd not say jealousy at all, I just feel sharing and gifted should be shared at Christmas and not directed at one person. There's hallways posts in here from people who say they can't afford some games but they get left while Yoshi builds up a huge collection without needing to open his/her wallet.
I just feel gifting would be nicer and more in the Christmas spirit if the sharing was divided.
And no, I'm not asking for any gifts as I'm happy buying my own stuff and already have a huge backlog that I need to clear.

Bro, you don't need the DLC. Buy Train Simulator. It's the bomb, and it IS serene. A perfect "relax and enjoy the experience" game. Also can be tough if you need to figure out how to couple and uncouple in a trainyard!
Buy the damn thing!

I originally wanted Alan Wake's American Nightmare, but I don't know now, I don't remember it setting anyone's pants on fire and I thought the first game was a massive chore to get through. Not even sure it's worth the dirt cheap price right now, but only because I'm afraid that there's going to be other stuff that I'd rather have. I'd probably get it otherwise, but I think I'll remain very conservative with my Steam credit.
The individual Half-Life deals are great too, but I've already beaten them so that's probably a no-go for me as well. And the upcoming 50% off still aren't going to be anywhere near as cheap as I would like. $30 for those games doesn't really scream "great deal" to me. If they were 75% I'd absolutely buy Borderlands 2.

I do. Can't win them all unless you start rigging the polls.I assume you wanted RE5.

I'm on the fence for Half Minute Hero as well.
Hell, I'll buy it if y'all do.

American Nightmare is very tight, lots of fun, and has none of the aimless shambling Alan Wake had (even though I really enjoyed it) - American Nightmare is a great game, short but sweet, and a ton of fun to play. Get it Brandonh83!!
I bought it. Peer pressure!

I didn't buy them via Steam sales, but the HID7 puzzle games are really neat. I played Closure, Snapshot and Binding of Isaac for the first time last night and I was pretty impressed by each in its own way. The mouse/screenshot gameplay stuff in Snapshot is a really neat idea and something that could be put to use on the Wii U.

No. This is not the kind of support I'm looking for here on the NeoGAF.
Damn it. Okay... but if I don't like it, I will gift Bad Rats to you. I swear I will. I won't even think twice about it.
Not enough for me, given my ever increasing backlog. 99% off and a massage from Gaben, or no deal.
Haha well regardless of what you think of my opinion on the game it's still going to be $5 cheaper on Amazon if you can just wait another week. Even cheaper if you already bought anything from Amazon's sale since you'll be able to use at least 1 $5 credit on it.
I'm going to be getting it from there too. I was about to buy it the other day but when I went to go do it the price had gone back up to 45 or so.

I'm not buying it. Now what do we do?
I have three more to play. . . I won't get to it for sometime. . . I'm nearly at 100 games. . . . 10 more then I don't know what to do anymore. I just for ArmA II Combined. So I hope its like L4D all over again. I put 245 hours into it. I still enjoy it today.
Trust only GAF is the motto! You're probably right! Train dilemmas have a new added layer of complexity, with praise from you!
It'll be an impulsive decision made in the final minute of the sale!
