Topic: The Unofficial Steam Sales Thread

The Holiday Sale is on.
Day 1 and I've already bought Batman Arkham Asylum and The Secret of Monkey Island Collection.
I just can't help myself.

I really hope some of these deals come back. I want to get Torchlight 2 and Orcs Must Die 2, but I won't have money until after Christmas.

If you wish hard enough it just may come true.

Although as creator of this thread and thus complete endorser of Steam, I would recommend all of us to check out the excellent Amazon Digital Holiday Sale thread on Reddit. There are some great deals which are partially superior to what Steam is doing.

I decided to go for Ys Origins and some DLC for Deus Ex Human Revolution so far. I skipped on the I Am Alive deal, I'm just not feeling up to playing a post apocalyptic survivor right now (seeing as how the world didn't end).

@V8_Ninja Nothing wrong with shopping around.

I also grabbed Ys Origins — for $5 you can't go wrong! I'll probably end up picking up a few other games before the sale's done.

Are these games any good?:

Gemini Wars
Magical Drop V
Dear Esther
Endless Space
Legend of Grimrock
FTL: Faster Than Light

I want to get them all, since they all look interesting, but I won't have much money left afterwords...

I haven't played any of them, but Legend of Grimrock is in the latest Humble Bundle: http://www.humblebundle.com/
So you may want to consider buying it there.

I think Blockland deserves to be on Steam.It would sell better then.

There's never been a better time to play Binary Domain than now. It's a fun game if you're into cover shooters and Blade Runner.

Does anyone want my extra copy of Dawn of War GOTY from my THQ bundle? I also have a couple copies of Dota 2 if anyone wants them,

I'd like the extra copy ID: TheInstantGamer
I've also got like 4 free copies of Dota 2 so if anyone wants them just ask

I would LOVE a copy of DOTA 2 if you still have one. My STEAM id is ucf_knight.

I'm building a decent PC next week, so I've already spent way too much this sale.. lol

Is there a thread for Steam IDs or is this kind of the 'everything steam-related' thread?

@AlexSays Yeah, this has turned into the "Everything Steam-Related" thread. You could also add your Steam community profile URL to you signature, as you still have plenty of characters left.

Hah, I should hope I have plenty of characters. I don't believe I've ever updated my signature.

Thanks though, I'll likely do that then in case anyone would like to add me.

@AlexSays You can also put your Steam ID in the "Games" section of your "Edit Profile" page...although I noticed the spacing issue is still present >:[

UCF is a great school. Don't know much about FIU, but Miami sure sounds like a fun place to live.

Thanks, I didn't even know that option was there.. lol

It's weird though, my Steam ID has the underscore, but the link only works without the underscore. Guessing that's the error you're referring to?

I picked up the new Worms game, amongst other things, and my copy is broken. I feel cheated.
Other games I bought: Half Life 2, Garry's Mod, and The Binding of Isaac.

@AlexSays My Steam ID has a space. But whenever I try to add the space, the forms for the ID removes the space:

ABC DEF -----> ABCDEF

So I use an underscore, even though it doesn't link to my profile page.

Don't worry about the DOTA 2 key, one of my friends just gifted me one!

Ah I see, that is a little annoying technical glitch.
