    I want Dark Souls 2 but I am praying for a daily

    I'm an incredibly biased man, because Dark Souls 2 is the game that finally got me to buy in on this whole Souls thing...but I love DaS2. I dropped 250 hours in to it, easy, over PS3 and PC (yeah, I liked it so much I double dipped). That's not a lot by Souls game standards, but it's a ton by Me standards, as I rarely spend that type of time with a game anymore.

    So the Borderlands 2 Season Pass is $10 right now. Will it stay that price even when the sale "ends" for Borderlands 2, even though it usually gets extended for another day?

    No, it's part of the daily deal. Visit the item's store page, it'll show you the timer.

    Phew, according to the page it says it has 25 hours remaining.

    @HeirTransparent‌ apparently took offense to the idea that there might be a thing on my wishlist.

    It was only on there briefly! It didn't even have time to get settled! You monster!

    @urahonky‌
    The dailies last 48 hours, so it should be good until 10am PST tomorrow. That said, if you're going to pick up the season pass, I would recommend spending another $.10 to get the GOTY instead. You get a few extra DLC pieces that you would not get from the season pass. You get 2 new classes, creature slaughter dome, and a bunch of skins, + more. The only things you would be missing would be vault hunter upgrade #2, and the headhunter packs.

    Thwarted in his attempts to buy a game with card money, due to minor incident's timely gift, @Corriganx decided to attack my wishlist instead.

    I haven't been able to Steam Sale as much as I would like this go around, but @GnomeTank‌ and @jclast‌ both surprised me with gifts while I've been away from things!

    Thanks to Gnome for Retro City Rampage and jclast for Symphony! You're both classy folk, especially since I've been out of the loop for so long. It's really amazing how much of a cheer it is to see that steam gift notification when you're just going about your day, and it always means a lot.

    I had no idea what the Blackwell thing was until I saw this. Just bought the whole bundle because I love adventure games so much. Huzzah for the Steam sale helping me find games that I didn't know existed!

    Ok some thoughts on recently bought/gifted games.

    Strider is awesome, although my computer cannot handle it at max. :P
    La Mulana is really fun and reminds me of the old game Montezuma's Revenge if anyone remembers it, but man alive it's difficult.
    Symphony is awesome, I mean I just love playing a shmup with my own music. My only gripe is that playing any of my AAC files requires a dlc upgrade, which sucks since most of my music is through iTunes. :(

    Those are the ones I've put the most time into over the last few days.

    And then @OneAngryPossum hit back with Gone Home. I've heard good things, and I can't wait to experience it for myself. Thank you very much!

    Sorry, Durandal. Classy though you are and as much as the gift wars in this here thread amuse me, given my backlog of games, I can't accept your generosity in good conscience.

    I am loving that DLC/expansion so far. The MECs are pretty sweet and the genetics stuff is fun. I turned on the rule for not mixing genetic mods with psychic powers though. Really kinds of forces you to build up more soldiers vs a few extra for wounded folks down time.

    Annnnnd since I can't seem to stay out of gifting sight from incredibly kind people no matter how distracted with boring reality I am, and considering how distracted I'm likely to be for a good while, all around thread thanks and kudos are in order:

    You're all fantastic, and, no joke, basically revitalized my love of gaming a few years back when I first jumped into the Steam frenzy. A billion gift wars wouldn't amount to the joy I've gotten from this community and you folks, but hopefully this helps express even a tiniest amount of the happiness I've gotten from the lot of ya.

    Wish I had time for something more creative, but enjoy! Open to Penny Arcade group members, but meant for at least moderately active posters. So if you lurk and ya enter get to postin'.

    The pattern continues, as shortly after I left home yesterday I noticed an email on my phone. @bloodatonement sent me an upgrade to the activity matrix on the grid for my Tron, it goes by the name of Spy Chameleon - RGB Agent. Helps the software run smoother than ever, really appreciate it!

    I'm new to this badge stuff. Is there any reason to craft a Summer Sale badge a second time?

    You can get more of the rewards that you get from crafting one, some of them sell for a decent price on the market, most are down to $0.03 (which is the cheapest they can get) at this point. It will give you more points towards your steam level if that's something you care about. Other than that not really.

    Yeah I bought a 4 pack of Banner Saga a bit ago and owned it already. It put the four pack as a single item into my inventory. I had to send that to the first person to accept and then send me back the other 3 to dispense around to others.

    Odd. If I put a 4 pack of Banner Saga in my cart, I can gift it. If I put a 4 pack of L4D in my cart I can't gift it. (I own both games)

    e:Borderlands 2 is a no go as well.
