Welp, bit the bullet and grabbed sleeping dogs. Was weird though, price kept changing from 16.99 to 37.49, so I figured I'd grab it at 16.99 just in case. Bought the dragon master pack with it as well and the squeenix char pack ( huge fan of Deus Ex). How the nightmare in north point dlc?

On one hand I only spent $7.50 on Mark of the Ninja during the winter sale. On the other hand I spent $15 on Frostivus Treasure Chest Keys for DOTA 2. Damn you Valve....

Also, only wound up buying 2 things from Steam, I Am Alive and Sleeping Dogs. Got Dark Souls from Amazon, but that was cause it was 6 bucks. I'm proud, first Steam sale I haven't spent tons on.

Didn't buy anything this sale.

Here is my "haul of games I almost bought" but just went meh and loaded up FTL for another round.

Torchlight 2 : $9.99 Not sure why I didn't get this. Maybe I played the first one too much and was sick of it.
Defcon: $1.99 Want to get it but feel like it will eventually be part of a HumbleBundle again. I don't mind the price, I just want something to look forward to since I usually have most of the games.
Borderlands 2: $29.99 Too much for me. I would be playing by myself so I don't want to get it till it goes to $5.
Mark of the Ninja: I don't know anything about this. Looks good but it didn't motivate me.

Mark of the Ninja is freaking awesome. Just finished it up last night... Very well may be my Game of the Year for 2012.

Alright- time to stop avoiding it and buy Amnesia!

Just was hoping for Dead Space- a pipe dream!

No list posting for me yet- must maintain optimism! We've got Flash deals left!

Voted: Giana! I remember when this went on sale! It feels like it was so long ago!

Every time Gabe reads a comment regarding Half-Life 3, he delays a deal on Primordia by a day.

But... but... that means IT'LL NEVER GO ON SALE!

Gabe has decided to punish us all. I keep having these delusional thoughts and nightmares that the same games will be on sale for the next 22 hours...

What Sleeping Dogs DLC should I pick up if I'm just starting the game?

None of it. All the fluff is unnecessary and the content-expanding DLC is rather dull.

I'm in the middle of building my Steam Library, so yeah, I've bought way too much. Only Ni no Kuni for me in January, ignoring everything else (Dead Space 3 for example) and BioShock Infinite & Uncharted with Boobs in March.

more money than God
Anyone know the specific time that the sale ends. I thought it ended tomorrow morning, but apparently the current daily deals go on for another 46 hours. Does that mean that just the daily deal goes on for another 46 hours, or the entire sale?

Several of my Steam contacts missed the sale for Mark of the Ninja. I guess they will be happy.

My purchases (including stuff from other stores):

Critter Crunch - $1.75
Sleeping Dogs - $12 (GreenManGaming) - Already beat this one, great game! Might be my one of my GotY contenders solely because I don't usually like GTA-like games, and this one had me playing for hours at a time.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown - $11 (GreenManGaming)
Torchlight 2 - $10 (GamersGate)
QUBE - Gifted to me
Dota 2 - Gifted to me
Castle Crashers - Gifted to me
Resonance - Steam trade

So, ±$25 in total. Not bad!

The Holiday Sale as a Steam-wide event ends in ~22h40m.

Time is kinda wrong anyway in the op, most of the games that are on sale will stop at that time, but the best selling game of each day will repeat again between Saturday and Monday now.

Why isn't there a Xzibit/Gabe mash-up by now?
