Topic: The Unofficial Steam Sales Thread

Good thing I just got a new Pre-paid card. Turns out the bus I take to go to Community College goes right past my bank...

I have an unused Super Meat Boy activation code up for grabs. I don't need it as I already own it, first come first serve.
EDIT: And it's gone.

Thats a great topic, i will download Dues Ex games and Trine tonight.

Anyone doing the steam sale game?

Can a Macbook pro handle super meat boy and FEZ? I know this is noobie as heck but I know nothing of PC gaming lol.

Pretty sure a toaster can handle Super Meat Boy and FEZ.

I highly recommend holding off on those for now, though. Those are two of the most popular PC indie games ever, and as such, they tend to go in daily sales/flash sales quite often. You'll be able to get them for about half of what they are now. If they don't get put in an extra sale, just buy it on the last day possible.

PROTIP EDIT: Want to get some pretty good games for less than what you found on the street the other day? Try these:
BEEP
Defy Gravity
Cthulhu Saves the World + Breath of Death VII: The Beginning (bundled)

Four good relatively-unknown indie games for less than $1. TOTAL.

What does this mean? Do you mean the waiting game? If so, then yes. I've only tonight bought one game for full price on Steam, and now I'm waiting for the DLC to go on sale. (The game is Skyrim.)

@nano_chicken Wow, awesome. That ks for all the tips!

Don't think they will ever make it worth your while to get that as DLC. (The Legendary Edition will always be priced less than just the DLC's on their own).

Easily. Problem is whether it can handle it in Mac OS X or not. (And whether they have been updated to support controllers and how that works).

If you are going to get Super Meatboy get it from the Humble Bundle anyway. (That has loads of the best indie games and most ? (All ?) support Mac OS X).

There's a free cookie-clicker-esque game on Steam's front page. That's this sale's gimmick and it's how you get cards/badges for this sale.

P.S. @Retro_on_theGo ,
The games I listed don't run on Mac OSX. However, I can vouch that, at the very least, Cthulhu and Breath of Death work great even on old Windows PCs. Even if you can't run them at the moment, I'd still recommend getting them, though. It's not even $1, and if you have a spare computer running Windows, or plan on getting one in the future (definitely so if you want to get into PC gaming), you've got even more games to play...

Eventually.
Yeah; if you hate having a backlog of games you haven't even touched, getting into PC gaming might be a challenge. It was for me, at least until I had enough to feel like I had a digital collection (currently at around 90 games). Big Picture mode is great when you have letters pop up because it's been scrolling for too long.
However, I spent less on those 90 games than I spent on the 10 3DS/DS games I have on my shelf. It feels awesome when you're buying a game as acclaimed as Portal for $3.

PC gaming is super cheap because of not only Steam sales, but the fact that the internet itself its a market there are dozens of sites to buy games each oke with their own sales or even prices, its not like consoles where its pretty much a monopoly.

This War of Mine, get it, play it, cry, feel like a terrible terrible person and never play it again.

100% worth it. One of the best games of 2014.

I mean the clicker game

so metal gear solid ground zeroes is on sale for 5€. not sure if i should get it. there still doesnt seem to be a release date for phantom pain for PC. if it will come howver there will sure be discounts again on ground zeroes...wait or get it now? my backlog is huge but i love mgs and that game could be a real benchmark for my pc.

It's on the daily sale. If you ever plan on getting it, get it now. I've never seen it go for less than $5.

Also, if you start gaming on PC, you will never complete your backlog. This is simply because you can actually buy all the games you want at bargain-bin price. The quicker you'll learn to accept that, the easier it'll be on yourself.

Just buy it, embrace PC gaming, buy games you will never install nor play, but we love it and we keep doing it because games are dirty cheap

(I doubt MGS would go lower)

Steam Purchases:

Elite: Dangerous
Homeworld: Remastered Collection
