minor, didn't you spend all last sale getting your credit cards systematically shut down? :P
Yes. 8 times, I believe.
This time I loaded up a few hundred in my Steam Wallet and have been using that to gift and buy.
Ironically, I traded in some games at GameStop to get an extra Steam Wallet card, and I owed a couple bucks above the trade value, so when I paid for that with my credit card, I got a fraud prevention call 2 minutes later.
Don't these people know that I spend absurd amounts of money on video games?
I think VISA basically just said fuck all with fraud protection on me after the $5,000 lube fiasco.
You know you can't say something like this and not follow up.
Basically we had access to a massive hill that was next to a lake a buddy owns a house on, he runs some pretty great summer parties and people end up showing up as he's near a park. Basically we spent a ton of time clearing trees and brush and digging a chute all the way down and lined it with tarps to make a giant slip-n-slide. We figured out water didn't cut it if we pumped it up from the lake so we ordered a summers worth of lube.
575 gallons of lube to be exact, kept the chute slippery to the extent that people would hit the little ramp on the bottom and skip across the water.
Bunch of people kicked in on the order and I made it because I'm the only person who can take freight deliveries. We ended up not using one drum of it so everyone took home a bunch for....personal entertainment.
I made the order and visa flagged it and called me to verify the order not once but twice because they couldn't believe it apparently. First answer I gave them what it was for because they couldn't believe it was quite sarcastic and the second time because I was pissed that I had to jump through the hoops again I told them it was for gathering samples in artificial insemination on elephants. That lady the second time didn't have much of a sense of humor when I told her there would be a number of orders for umbrellas and hip waders occurring shortly as well.
Some people I tell ya.
Best. Story. Ever.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on that.
Sometime I'll tell you why its a bad idea to play connect four against a stripper in Thailand.
I've had Magicka on my wishlist for a while now. The Flash Deal on it is tempting me something fierce. What is the feeling on it around here?
If you've got people to play with, it's an absolute ball. The first time you accidentally kill everyone in the party by a wrongly timed shield that causes a fireball to bounce around the interior of a dome instead of reflecting it away is just magical.

Bah, that's nothing.
One of these days, I should tell you all the story of my late uncle and how he almost got himself arested for piracy... naval piracy.
What are the chances pop series does individual sales? I may pull the trigger on the bundle but it's half my wallet and I really only planned on grabbing the first three games this sale.
Oh my goodness, here I am rushing to get to work (BOOO WORK, SERVING NEWELL IS THE ONLY WORK I NEED), and I see that @Mackenzier has gifted me Avernum: Escape From The Pit
You and class go together like delicious fudge and.....even MORE delicious fudge! <333
I can see a portal / zombie game where there's one blue and one orange gun for survivors, and a green (= zombie horde) gun for some nefarious zombie King.

Be it known, as if there was any doubt, that Alecthar is the classiest of gents. And I really mean that, that's not just obligatory because he gifted me not one but two awesome games.
Also, I would like to belatedly announce the same for The Anonymous. The message he sent with it made me smile.
While we're on the subject, I meant to put this up for gift like forever ago, but kept forgetting.

Any story involving strippers is surely to be good.
It took me until just now to realize that the Batman flash sale was the whole franchise. DLC get!
Yeah, I just found out that it was on a flash sale. That's more than I was planning to spend, but it's so much stuff. Two minutes to decide...wait, no, crap, out of time

THERE is the sale I was waiting for! When SR:TT was the community choice, only the main game and main game + expansions went on sale.
This time around, ALL the DLC is 75% off. Now I can get some at sub-dollar prices and not feel like an idiot for doing so.
Just so everyone knows, when Gear made a few big gift posts before the sale even started, since I've known him for a quite a while, I messaged him and asked him if he robbed a bank. His response was "several". That might clarify some things.
Handgimp has some classy competition.
I concur. I think his contests broke my freaking points bank on steamgifts! I guess it would be robbery too, if you weren't giving games for those points.
Also reposting my own meager, pathetic sale. Some of us sadly do not turn to a life of crime for Steam.

Wait, what? I was just gonna post that 15 € is pretty expensive for 1 episode, but apparently you get access to all 5 with this when they are released?
Thanks @elderlycrawfish for some QUBE action right before I go to bed.
Today's deals and the flash debuts are mercifully full of repeats or things I don't want. Besides the Darkness 2 and the Walking Dead but I think I can wait on that. I'll sleep on it.
The Furious, Fulminating, Frustration Darksiders Giveaway
I've got an extra copy of Darksiders stashed away from yesterday, and I didn't want to just throw it on Steamgifts because that's boring, but I couldn't think of a good contest theme. I was toying with some lame-ass thing about what your plot to overthrow the infernal authorities and install yourself as lord of Hades would be if you were a demonic being. But fuck that tryhard shit. My experiences tonight have given me inspiration.
Darksiders is about this guy, War.
(Pictured with sidekick/chaperone.)
The contest itself, however, is in a way more about his lesser-known sister, Fury.
(Pictured with boobies.)
Tell me about the most frustrated you have ever been playing a vidjagame. It can be any type of game, and any kind of reason. All that matters is that it made you angry. Or better yet, reduced you to a gibbering, frothing, irrational fury. Win my empathy, my amusement, or better yet, both. The person who most elicits my compassion/schadenfreude gets the copy of Darksiders, which they can then play, and, in fighting Tiamat, forget about their previous most frustrating gaming experience altogether.
(If it seems like I'm probably driving the number of entries in the contest down between comments like that and my earlier public tantrum, just look at it as me improving the odds for those of you still brave enough to enter.)
That's it, people, light up my inbox. That is to say, ENTRIES SHOULD BE SENT VIA PM. I will pick a winner around midnight tonight EDT (that's about 11 hours from now). I will post the winning entry for all to enjoy, assuming the winner is comfortable sharing their shameful lack of perspective and self-control with the entire thread.

Change it to USING in that and it works for this as well
It's pretty darn entertaining imo.

Solo? Eh. I could live without.
Have any friendships you want to destroy?
There's a Magicka for that.
Bah, that's nothing.

In the three minutes where I thought I missed out on the Painkiller sale, @Hieric gifted it to me.
Three goddamn minutes.
Let's all reflect on that for a moment.
i didn't want that $30 anyway
you can have it

Region-locking is only a concern when I buy stuff myself, there's no restrictions when people from another region make the purchase.
