They recently added text strings about redeeming Steam Wallet vouchers to the translation server, so I believe it. I'm wondering it they'll be available outside of North America, though.
Always wondered why there were no Steam giftcards around.
I sent Gaben an email asking why there were no Steam cards like the PSN/Live/Etc had s long time ago, so I'm going to go ahead and take full and complete credit for this development.
Then I'm going to email Gaben and ask why Steam doesn't sell sandwiches yet, so cross your fingers that my streak keeps up.
For what it's worth, the latest patch for DIno Beatdown seems to have done...something. At least, it's not crashing to startup during initial load any more (for me at least). I didn't try and get it past the menu screen, because it was midnight, and I had to be in the office this morning. Still, if you had the same issue, looks like it's resolved.

I'd legitimately like to be able to order takeaway food through Steam. Get the local places to sign up, and just let me order a pizza or a curry through Steam.

Oh, and booze.
I think at one point, Everquest got a /pizza command.
Fun fact: The volume of a pizza with radius z and height a is Pi * z * z * a

Haha, I remember that. Do you know exactly how it worked?
Like, you just type /pizza, and then a pizza vendor in game would start sending you PMs? Or an online ordering interface would pop up?
Man, when do the Sales flip again in EST? I'm on a train running a errand in Philly (ok it isn't an errand I just felt like having breakfast at Reading Terminal Market), and forgot to pick up Alan Wake.
It's 3pm right? I should be back before 3pm.

It opened Pizza Hut's online ordering page. It wasn't really a serious, usable thing more than a cheeky promotional tie-in with Pizza Hut. Now, the pizza party shell script, that was the real shit.

It effectively alt-tabbed and opened up the pizza hut website in your browser. Nothing fancy.

Oh man, I just realized something. My fiancee and I are planning to go on our first cruise this year.
The cruise will be during the first week of December, and there's a good chance there will be a Steam sale. It will be the first time I won't have cheap access to internet during a sale! Not sure how I will cope.
While I enjoyed both parts one and two of that interview, I caught a hint of...annoyance right here:
RPS: Have you had much/any involvement with Valve over the course of the project? Have they contacted you at all? Valve’s been known to hire especially talented teams out of the blue. Were there ever any job offers?
Carlos Montero: There hasn’t been much contact with Valve at all. And if we had gotten job offers, I think we’d be doing that instead of this, haha.

I had to deal with it last holiday when I was in the tropics. The vacation was a good panacea though ;-)
But seriously, I first tried to log onto steam using an internet connection that you paid for by the megabyte. Bad idea, as I ate up all my bandwidth in about two minutes.
Second attempt was an unlimited internet terminal for 30 minutes, however Steam did not like the fact that I was using a foreign computer to purchase games for an American account with an American credit card. I understand why, but dang it, I wanted to serve the Newell.

Well that's a fine reason to take a trip to Philly (I need to take a trip to hit up the chocolate place near the right entrance for some chocolate covered graham crackers and peanut butter/chocolate covered pretzels. Man they're the best.) and it's saying 4pm pacific time on the site so 7 pm for us east coasters.

Find a trusted Steam friend. Give that friend your holiday wishlist (or just a general pointer on what your gaming tastes like) and send some amount of money to their Paypal account, so they can send games to your account as gifts during the sale. Problem solved.

The last sale was a few days before Christmas through Jan 2nd or 3rd. Pretty sure you'll be safe.

Is there ever PA game nights on STEAM? Like the thread chooses one game that everyone gets in on?
No, but that'd be an awesome idea. We should def. start doing this.

I could have sworn we had other sales that started earlier in the month, though. Maybe that was the year before. Eh, being away from the internet will probably be good for me, and chances are that I'll be too busy enjoying the vacation. I won't even be thinking about it!
...until I get home and immediately log onto Steam. Or, really, step off the boat and immediately check the smartphone app.

You are thinking of the sale associated with Thanksgiving.
I'm pretty sure there was a black friday + long weekend sale last year, which did/could extend into early december.
probably not this year though, t-day is the 22nd.

Guys, Rockstar Games is offering you Midnight Club 2 if you join their Official Community Group
Join the Official Rockstar Games Community on Steam at http://steamcommunity.com/games/rockstargames by 10 am Pacific Time on Tuesday, May 15, 2012, and receive one non-giftable copy of Midnight Club 2 in your Steam account.
Eligibility: User must have a Steam account with at least one successful purchase in the account. The offer is not available to users who already own Midnight Club 2.
Midnight Club doesn't seem to work well with 7 and Vista though. Not officially supported, but if you disable DEP it should run.

Destreuctoid does Friday night fights like that and they just send out steam events with the game and who is hosting the event. Works well for co op games people might have missed out on or any multiplayer games really.

I've seen them occasionally with "Error - Steam Offline - Not User", or wording similar to that.
They haven't shown up the Private Profile message that I've seen anyway.
