Steam Sale Spotlight

[GaryCXJk]

Yeah, to be honest, I myself don't have a lot of games that I can use from the drawing. I already have both Oddworld games involving Abe, and i don't really give a bunch about that other game I got. The rest is either coal (8 of them) or coupons. However, I'm not complaining, first of all they're free anyway, and second, I already got the games, so no complaining here.

Thanks to der_ketzer for the trade.

If anybody wants to trade stuff just to get their achievment, im willing to do it. Im Gego at Steam (if there are many Gegos, im the one with the avatar of the Jester from Simon II)

Hey, I havent been paying attention recently, but is this sale still doing that "grace period" where the new daily deal and the old one interlap? Im planning on buying killing floor, but wanna know if I should do that now, or wait when the new deal is up and check out for other games(I get I can simply buy one now and the other when the new sale occurs, but want to do it all at once).

[Rather Dashing]

The old sales are still valid for a bit after the new ones go up, I think three hours. The timer shows up under the current deals at 1 PM(EST).

The sales end at 2pm PST/5pm EST.

Lovely, Ill wait until then to get a better idea what to buy.

I believe it's four hours after they first go up, but yes, there is a 'grace period', so to speak.

For instance, let's go with Christmas day. That days (slightly disappointing, if I'm honest) sales started at 18:00 GMT. But the deals from Christmas Eve ended at 22:00 the same day. So there was a four hour period where you could grab games from both days.

oh yeah, yesterdays sales were pathetic, the only game I wanted from it was Killing Floor which I have good things about and havent played yet, but a I wanted to see if I could buy it along with anything good from todays sale.
EDIT:Actually, now Im second guesing killing floor. Curse my second guessing.

[Darth Marsden]

From the new day, I can only reccomend Bastion at the moment. Great game for story-lovers.

Today bought the Worms Golf Pack. Because I love Worms and I love pinball.

Also, I already have reserved Alien Breed 3 for another person who wants it, so that one's already taken.

Thanks for the guest pass, helped me make a final decision before it was too late(bought).

Now I just need dungeon defenders and binding of isaac to go on daily deal and Ill be set.

I bought that one (was on my wishlist since it was released) and Rock Of Ages.

Does anyone know anything about the release date for LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 on Steam?

The WB Games graphic on the Publisher Catalog page shows said game, but it is otherwise unable to be found.



EDIT: Wiki says "The game was released in North America on November 11, 2011; however, the PC version of the game was immediately recalled as a fault was found in relation to its Digital Rights Management. No official word has been released but some game websites changed the PC version's release date to the 18th of November, coinciding with the European and Australasian release. However, this date has come and passed and no news has been heard as of late."

[Darth Marsden]

I know the PC version is available on Play.com for around £15 (about $22, I think). I don't think that's the Steam version though.

[Gman5852]

I used to think I was invincible in killing floor, then I took an EVERYTHING to my EVERYWHERE!!!
I did get the reward for it though, more coal :/

[Ribs]

Just traded my TF2 Essential Accesories for Rock of Ages. Worth it.

Yeah, but I'd say 2 refined'd be around $2.50-ish. If it's any consolation, I threw in a coal to seal the deal.

And I got 50% off Brink for that, which I appreciate as something I might use maybe sometime.

[Darth Marsden]

NOOOO! I missed out of the 1,000th post! Curse you Ribs, I deserved that milestone! After all I've done for this thread!


...wait, this would be the 1,000th reply, wouldn't it? Ok, I'll take that. As long as I get some sort of milestone.

So... how's everyone doing with the Winter Objectives? I've got 10 done and can probably do another 5 or so. I don't own a lot of the games needed, so I'm a little limited in what I can do.
