    This is a great (!) Steam sale utility site: http://steamdb.info/sales/

    Sorting on games only clears out the DLC clutter.

    I'm prepped for this sale.
    I've wiped my wishlist clean and now I wait for the right time to strike.

    Everyone is different. Everyone is special.

    @Incindium wasted no time, sending a gift my way.

    Not poisoned chocolates, you say?
    Should I be suspicious that you specified that? Darn it, my Internal Affairs skill is not high enough. Shouldn't have put all of those points into Falcons.

    Thank you very much! This game looks adorable and I'm excited to give it a try!

    I did not even finish typing that before @OneAngryPossum also sent a gift.

    Apparently, OneAngryPossum has already put some time into using this DLC! I need to get some practice myself. I think I dropped a "Gosh Darnit!" during the stream last night. I rarely swear except at bad drivers, so typing is a good place to start!

    Thank you so much! With this and the new cards, I now have no excuse not to go and finish the game!

    The fact that the winter badge doesn't have a level limit and the winter cards will be deleted after the winter sale I can only assume prices will begin to spike. Everyone will keep on buying cards for a shot at the legendary items.
    Gonna just

    Buy everyone else stuff

    And forget to buy myself stuff

    Just like last year

    Already dropped a Dishonored GoTY on someone

    Now to stalk this thread

    And wait

    Your spoiler seems to imply that the points in falcons was a waste. Im afraid we all know thats completely impossible.

    Speaking of being impossible, @Isorn already started the sale off by gifting me a copy of Tales of Maj,Eyel. I love me some rogue games, thanks so much. <3


    (Berylline is still a terrible person for implying falcons are wrong)

    We nearly raised double what we did last year. Truly stellar work, people.

    I also want to thank Corrigan and iolo for their assistance in tracking donations, along with the small group I grabbed back in November to develop the initial incentives. And of course, a big thanks to everyone that donated, offered their own incentives, and generally helped make this thing a success. After last year's little impromptu torture of anoffday, I though it would be neat to turn that into an annual event to give the thread something to do while waiting on the winter sale.

    Badges will not be coming right away, but I will let you all know when I've started handing them out. In the event that you did NOT get a badge, please PM me (and me specifically) and just show me where I missed you. Our total is still preliminary because there might be donations I missed and the badge distribution will help sort that out.

    So again, thanks to everyone for making this happen, enjoy the deluge of games you're about to buy on the cheap, have a happy holiday, and we'll see you next year.

    @Rorus Raz I was lazy and only took a screenshot of this the other day, but I left the purchase date in. Does it count? :P

    Managed to nab the Bioshock season pass before they corrected the mistake, I am so glad for the Steam App ... I don't know how I'd survive through work without it.
    Speaking of being at work, anyone want to summarize what the meta game is this year? I saw upthread where the snow globes now reveal games (and I assume can be crafted), anything else going on?

    Yeah I know. I'm just praying it's after Christmas so I can afford it. Even on sale it'll still be $40+, I assume.

    Pretty sure I can finish my Steam holiday sale stuff today.

    Got the BI season pass when it was glitched. That makes up for missing the Dishonored GotY glitch last sale.

    Need Brigmore Witches. Probably end up grabbing that before the day is out.

    And that's all I'm really looking forward to that is likely to receive substantial discounts. Starbound obviously isn't going to drop since it's technically not even out yet. I might pick it up at full price anyway after my last exam today since it won't be a distraction from important stuff. I'd love to get Lego Marvel and Enemy Unknown, but I'm almost positive those aren't going to drop to where I'd like. Might get the missing Marvel pinball tables I don't have, but I'm going to play "wait and see" on those for now.

    I'll be watching my spending for this one; I just got Shadow Man (Turok 2 PC when, guys?) and Alien Rage for a trading card as a reward. Maybe when other things on my wishlist go on Flash Sale I'll pick them up.

    Runner 2 is super cheap, 83% off.

    In fact, all of the Bit.Trip games are super cheap right now:

    http://store.steampowered.com/sub/31547/

    Aside from Runner 2, you can get any of the other Bit.Trip games for 99 cents! I guess I'll finally buy the one missing from my collection!

    Revenge of the Titans is the only one I've played and it feels a LITTLE obtuse. Too much "make sure you've upgraded/bought the right things for future levels".

    The others I haven't played yet, but bought when I got 75% off coupons for. They look interesting, and better than Revenge, so go fig. Probably worth a look.

    Also, the price of the cards is going to crater, but Ultratron cards were among the most valuable I had, so if you're fast and people buy them, the sale might pay for itself.

    The economics of this is going to be fun to watch. Explains the prices. People are gunning to craft those uber items to flip.
