    75% off Gunpoint two days before the sale starts? Come on, Valve! That's playing dirty!

    Clever. So many sale fanatics are locked and steam-wallet-loaded ready to go. I'd have to imagine more than a few will jump the gun on a good game at a nominal price.

    I guess we'll see. He's been great about sharing sales data. :)

    So quick question. With the Steam sale looming ever closer, I find that I may be in Europe for the duration of the sale. Is there any way for me to pay for stuff in USD, given that my bank is in the U.S.?

    Yes and no. I normally charge to my credit card, which has no problem with overseas purchases like GOG or GreenManGaming. But when I was abroad during a Winter Sale, Steam would not let me make purchases on my US account with my US credit card from a foreign IP address, and I know it wasn't the credit card's fault because I used it exclusively on the trip and pre-approved it for foreign travel.

    Your best bet would be to use Paypal as a third party (set it up to draw from your credit card), or just put money into your steam wallet now.

    Hey all, quick PSA about the Steam Sale. When the sales rollover occurs at 10:00 AM PST, look at the prices. If it looks too good to be true, buy it, because it has been the case in previous sales where an erroneously super low price gets put up only to be corrected in about 15 minutes.

    Also look at percentages, if they are weird things like 93% instead of 66% or some multiple of 5, there is a good chance it is a goof that is combining the previous day's discount with the current day's discount.

    Right, and please take a breath before posting about it. We've had major sales with literal pages of thread filled with nothing but, "Arkham Asylum for only 10% off? What are they thinking?!?" "Call of Duty 4 at full price?* Suck it, Activision!" "Oh god oh god the darkness is closing in..."

    Obvious exception: If a broken price favors the customer, light the beacon so we can all pile on. (Grab your copy first. ;) )

    * Actual COD4 sale price? 10% off.

    Steam sale tomorrow? But I'm at work. And cell phones are forbidden inside prison grounds.

    I will have to experience it vicariously through all of you and also be thankful that flash deals are eight hours long (they are right?) so I can snag them when I get home.

    Don't forget the voting! You can vote from the mobile app and in the past, for every 3 votes (a new one every 8 hours on the next flash sale) you get a sale card.

    That baby on the bottom right is up to something.

    Pooping, most likely.

    And thus the primary flaw in the baby body armor plan.

    No, that's #2. (Heh.)
    #1, that I immediately thought of when I saw that image, was "headshot."

    Can't, if he falls over, a baby gets crushed.

    In the comic the heroes actually string a noose around his neck from above, hang him off the ceiling until they get the babies off of him.

    Biggest flaw with the headshot plan is I'd say that guy weighs over 200 lbs. That's 200 lbs. of immediate dead weight falling on the babies as soon as the headshot is made.

    I want to add a clarification. I think I have mentioned in the past that I have a son. It is from a previous marriage. I love him, so I have some understanding of finances and kids. Now, this is the first child of my current wife. I'm obstaining from steam not because I don't have extra money, I do have a little, I really don't want student loans. That and what I know will happen, I'm hedging on best case.

    Say you took up smoking. Leave the grounds for your break every couple of hours and use your phone to participate in the sale off-site every couple hours.

    Well, By "may be in Europe", I mean "I'm already in Europe and will be for the next 2 weeks or so", so the wallet thing is out. How does the Paypal work to get me the U.S. prices? Because I'm seeing prices here in Euros.

    Smoking is also forbidden on prison grounds. I can leave the fence but still be on grounds and I wouldn't leave said grounds until I pass the final guard shack on the perimeter road. No one gets smoke breaks here and if they've got a smoking habit it gets dropped very quickly or they learn to control it.

    It'll be all right. Flash sales every eight hours, which means I can vote/buy in the morning when I wake up at 6AM PST, when I get home at 4PM, and when I'm eating dinner at 6PM. Perfect. I'll also need to get that app for this weekend when I'm visiting home and won't have my computer.

    Also as an aside to anyone using the child's play website to link to their local hospital's Amazon wishlist, you can go find the wishlist on amazon smile as well and purchase from there. If you do, Amazon donates a portion to the charity of your choice (child's play is an option!) and your charity can go a bit further.

    Someone really should make it so the child's play website automatically links you there.

    @corsini friended me. They than used classtorture to find Ms. Alure's steam acount. I know she wouldn't see the class coming, but I should have seen the trap. I hear she might have more games now. She is at work, so I can't confirm or deny that:
    A: Ms. Alure has a steam account.
    B: She changed her last name to match mine.
    C: CapitalW is classy.

    Wait, I can confirm C.
