Topic: The Unofficial Steam Sales Thread

Ok now I've got another question. Steam was able to update just fine after I restarted my computer but now it's taking forever for creating my account (been over an hour). I'm getting ready to go to bed soon. Will it hurt anything if I just turn my computer off and try again tomorrow even though it's still trying to create it? (I don't like leaving my computer out so I lock it up. Don't want it to get stolen.)

Yeah, that should be dandy. Steam doesn't seem to like your computer. Give us a heads-up tomorrow on how it's going.

@Blink: Alright. Hopefully I won't have any more problems.

Well I tried to get it to connect today, and now the stupid thing quits responding. This is really getting on my nerves. I just want to get on the freakin' store. :/ I was able to join GOG last night without any problems, but why with this?

How many other programs are open when your using steam? Closing a few might give it more oomph.

The only thing I have open is the Internet but I'll try that.

Well I tried that and now it says it can't connect because of either a crappy internet connection or something on their end. Can I reinstall it so I can pick a slower connection? I see nothing for uninstalling it.

Edit: I figured out how to uninstall it.

New free to play game Crimecraft: BLEEDOUT is available.

If you're a puzzle lover remember today's TIDALIS sale It's at 1,20 € (85% off )

You can now pre-order Serious Sam 3: BFE. DO IT!!! NOW!!!

I heartily recommend it.

Also, Deus Ex came today. Nothing like buying a game in a box. C:

According to Steam's "Coming Soon" tab, we all own the Gundemonium Collection. Interesting...

Unfortunately it is not my kind of game

What do you mean "we all own" it soon? I don't see anything mentioning that it's free to play, they just don't have a price yet.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a very very nice game. I have always hated stealth portions of video games, and avoided entire stealth games such as Splinter Cell on principle. I just hate the apprehension, the pressure, and the freaking timing.
But I am a ninja now.
A non-lethal ninja.
Most of the time.
I like it very much, and that's all I've really got to say. C:

If you click on the "Coming Soon" tab on Steam's homepage and click the "Next 10" button, you'll see the Gundemonium Collection as a game that's going to be released in September of 2011. If you put your mouse cursor over it, a little window will pop up and give you a description of what the game is. Under the description you'll see that how many of your friends own the game, which appears to be every friend I have.

@V8_Ninja I think that's a mistake. I'm pretty sure this game is NOT free. Anyway, it's awesome news! I didn't expect that kind of games would ever arrive on Steam. I've been following them but their price put me off :/ I think I'll get them eventually

This is a pretty sweet looking laptop http://www.razerzone.com/blade#

No price yet though, which is worrisome D:

@irken004 The price for the machine is $2799.99. No, your eyes are not tricking you. The machine will cost over $2500 alone. Unless Razer throws in 100+ games for the thing, almost nobody is going to buy it.

I want that Blade, but it's waaaay too expensive. I'll stick with building a $800 desktop with about the same specs, thanks.
