Topic: The Unofficial Steam Sales Thread

So Half-Life 2: Episode 2 is on sale. It really doesn't make sense to me that only Episode 2 is on sale. Why aren't the whole Half-Life series on sale?

Wow, Episode 2 for $2? I might pick it up. And what a heck, a cricket game?

Because maybe, just maybe, Valve will announce a game that millions have been waiting for. ^{I'm talking about Ep. 3 if you didn't get the hint.}

I really hope they do :D:D:D:D:D

A man can dream. If the Episode 3 is coming soon I'll be buying the whole Half-Life series. I have never played them before. ^{Please don't hate me because I haven't played any Half-Life games.}

Already have all the HL2 episodes from the Orange Box, so I'm just waiting for Ep. 3.
_{/me sheds a tear}

Orange Box is a great deal.

Finally got around to playing Global Agenda some more. The more I play, the more I like it

And I'll hopefully be preordering Portal 2 sometime next month, once I get my scholarship money :3

And has anyone else been using the screenshot tool on Steam now? I like it!

What's the deal with the screenshot tool. I never understood that.

When you're playing a game, you can hit F12, and it will take a screenshot of the game. It then stores it on the Steam Cloud so you can post it wherever you want.

So it stores them on Cloud now. Ahhhh.

Thats cool in a sense. I guess.

The Command And Conquer series is 75% off

Should I get it or should I not should I get it or should I not...Fine...I'll get It. But I'm not sure I should. Argh!

Was there even a question?

Screenshot tool yay.

I now have a 360 controller with a cord, yay me.

@y2josh Nice, but Wiimote w/ GlovePIE trumps that D-Pad wise. I suppose a control stick would be nice.

Why use a D-pad when you already have a keyboard?

Too many buttons arrrghhh~

It does depend on the game. For example, Lara Croft GoL plays better with a gamepad while Mass Effect works better with the mouse + keyboard combo in my experience.

I'm not saying the keyboard is best in all cases, but I find that the only thing really useful with a gamepad is the analogue stick.
