First, to enter you must have or buy certain games.

From what I read, if you complete one objective (like the "profile pic" one), then you are automatically entered to possibly win the top 5 games on ur wishlist, and the objectives change often (so I'd assume they'll add an easy objective for each update of the sale). If you want to win the 100 games, then you have to complete 10 objectives.

I like the idea, but I don't at the same time. I am guessing that there will be a fairly easy one each time. It is an interesting way of implementing some reward with achievements and getting people to try a certain thing in a game or whatever. Kind of sucks to reward the person with the most games, but makes sense from a promotional stand point.

A: Two, one to hold the light bulb, the other to rotate the universe.

What if I already have that achievement, do I automatically enter?

I'll tell you one thing - Steam sure knows how to drum up sales.

I won't even try to do this (HolyMackerel makes a good enough point for me), but I'll keep my eye on the list for any deals that may catch my eye.

Evil Genius looks interesting, but will probably be another one of those games that I never get around to playing.

It's awesome. I got it from GOG ages ago. It's like Dungeon Keeper but with a supervillain theme. Very funny.

Same here
I do hope for a Transformers War for Cybertron sale!

I need time to play all of this, I need time....
And if you really want to have a nice time, play Evil Genius, really worth it.

#1. Have 10 friends on your friends list.

#2. Get the "Ol' Buddy Ol' Pal" achievement in Fallout: New Vegas.

#3. Set a leader-board score of at least 22,600 on the level Mash Face Against Mountain in AaAaAA!!! A Reckless Disregard For Gravity.

#4. Play the demo or game The UnderGarden.

#1 and #4 are free (you can play the free demo of The UnderGarden).

Dang, I want Aaaaa! so I might get it. Too bad New Vegas isn't on sale.

14% off on my end. It's not a big enough discount for me to buy it though (nor my kind of game).

Oh. Well it's going to have to be a bigger discount than 14% to matter to me too. I'm in no rush for it anyway.

Well, in my original post, I was referring to numbers 1 and 3. I hadn't actually played The Undergarden demo until now since I was busy with other games and demos. Oh, and I highly recommend Aaaaa! A Reckless Disregard for Gravity. I've played it for quite a long time and I still enjoy it.

It appears that Amnesia: The Dark Descent is this weekend's deal, going for a good $10. For those that enjoy horror games, I would highly recommend it, although the full effect of immersion can only be achieved by those who have insanely high-spec computers. Trust me, it's still good without all the graphics horsepower backing it up, but it definitely helps.

Yes, if the game didn't scare my pants into taking a giant S**t, I would definitely buy this game. Plus, there looks to be some pretty good upcoming mods for it.
