It's not as obvious, but if you go to your profile there's new "badges" for doing stuff both pertaining to your profile, and the sale itself. Hopefully there will be a reward for all this silliness aside from just a badge. Being able to redeem all that stuff last year was awesome. I'm also so tempted to buy Total War Shogun 2, it hurts. I'm trying to keep my spending to small bits since i'll probabl only have about 40 to spend, but it's still there. Tempting me.
I was waiting eagerly for BG&E2, but seems that it would take more time for to get released and hence I am planning to look out for Mass Effect. At least I can have anything interesting.
If you go to your profile there's a new badge system. There's a badge for the summer sale, you get achievements like goals to unlock it. Its buy one thing on sale, join the summer sale group, vote on 1, 5, 15, 20, and every day on the community choices. Edit: The Badges have levels as well, finish three items for the Summer Sale Badge to get level 1. Also, "hidden" sales http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/wgisp/hidden_sales_on_steam_only_70_to_80/
hm, anyone NOT have SFIV arcade that wants to get it? it's on sale for 19.99 but if 3 more people wanna split a 4 pack, we could get it for $15 a copy.
I like the "vote for the next sale" thing, but I sort of miss the achievement-based stuff they did with the last summer and winter sale.
Actually, it just hit Flash Sale, so $10 for one, $30 for the 4-pack. That said, I went and grabbed a 4-pack, so I have 3 extra copies, $7.50 a pop. *now where the hell'd I put the driver disk for my stick?
Bought the Daily Deal (Portal Bundle) for 6.24 and Poker Night at the Inventory. I have no idea how to play poker, so this should be fun.
damn I'd buy one off you but at $30 a pack I'm tempted to just get that for myself and a few friends. dirt cheap.
Purchased "From Dust" and "Tomb Raider: Anniversary". Still got a copy left? If so, hit me up on steam! I hope so, because then my joystick will get some uses again!
I ended up with GRAW 2, Toy Soldiers, and Payday the Heist today. I was debating on Assassin's Creed Revelations but I'd rather play it on 360.
So far I've paced myself (or perhaps restrained myself) better than in earlier sales. I've gotten Crusader Kings II plus most of the DLC (none of the songpacks though), Grand Ages: Rome, Imperium Romanum: Gold Edition, and Toy Soldiers. I almost got a few more, but I'm trying to be more frugal. At the moment the only other thing I really want is Skyrim, which I hope gets a Daily Deal for 66% or more. Though I may get Port Royale 3 if it gets a Daily Deal. Or one of those 8 hour deals for either.
Thinking about picking up Skyrim but I'm a cheap ass with video games, $39.99, not sure. Is it THAT good?
So far I've bought: Syberia 1 & 2 Alan Wake Witcher 2 Sonic Generations Trine 2 I'm watching for good deals on: Batman AC Harley Quinn DLC Bulletstorm The Longest Journey
Finally got L4D2, and that's probably all I'll be getting. EDIT: Guess I gotta buy Pally a dating sim if it goes down to $1, too.
