Stay up until 5AM when the deals roll over, think of the potential price errors.
You can't really go wrong with the current price.
It's janky, but entertaining in a low-budget MassEffect/Witcher attempt way.

Bad? It's by Spiders. I think it's supposed to be pretty good.
After I played Bound by Flame, I went and found copies of Of Orcs and Men and Mars Wars Logs for cheap.

So, is there a reliable way to add $6 to my account from one of those gift cards without getting locked out of the market?
You still have one of those cheap Orcs & Men? =p
Do it from your main steam pc?

Cheap was about $8 from GameStop a month or two ago?
Sorry, only grabbed the one for myself.

I'm really hoping for some Unreal and Quake love.
it was almost perfect on the first try i think. had they had the gameplay improvments of ME2 in there, and kept all the RPG elements and exploration intact, it would have been tops.

Now that's some fresh new thread. I hope there are even more memorable moments than the last one.

Freddi Fish, and a little something extra, though you'll have to ask Vulcano's assistant about that last part.
EDIT: Also thankyou Salsa for updating the OP, your the bestest!
It won't matter, new payment type causes the lock.
Oh, thought you meant during the sale.
Ah, well, no problem. I'll pick one up at the end of the sale if I still have cash left.

So I am guessing that is a no?

This is probably going to be the last sale thread isn't it?
No way. I expect 5 OTs. No less.
Probably not.This is probably going to be the last sale thread isn't it?
I just grabbed my Q3A jewel case off the shelf and tried inputting my cd key in Steam but it wasn't recognized :/
Anyhow, it's all Quake Live now isn't it?
Why would a game developer name themselves Spiders? That's horrifying.
It needs to come back, definitely.

Reposting Shovel Knight gameplay from the end of the last thread:
I'll be adding a second section here shortly with the first real stage and boss.

Okay, I have selected a winner. It ripped out my heart because I couldn't afford to do 3 or 4 winners to this contest. You were all good.
Ultimately though, I looked through the responses for a few key components.
I wanted to see whether you thought through not only each step of the project, but also what your students would be doing.
So many teachers think about the design of their lessons at the expense of student interaction.
On this front, several of you shined.
maneil99's red scare simulation was perhaps the most creative thing, along with Ventara's bridge builder. I loved both of these because they're relevant to student interests, they're engaging, and they're very sound from a design standpoint.
Several of you talked about history including BinaryPork, Gravelord Nito, legacybyzero, Abundantchoice, and others. Games like Civilization do have a place in the classroom, and I thank you for your responses.
nbtthedude and Junko were thinking along the lines of critiquing literature, as were several others, and I was very impressed by your responses. Indeed, games can be broken into genres and judged like other types of media.
Kevman had a marketing project that was similar in purpose to something I did in one of my lab classes.
I apologize PROFUSELY if I forget your name, but I did read everyone's response.
Ultimately, it all came down to two choices. It broke my heart to choose between them. Those were MrTeachwell and DrEvil's response.
While I'm sure MrTeachwell's media project would be very effective in incorporating games into the classroom, I chose
DrEvil
I thought his response in particular correctly recognized the building process of projects, the social interaction, and the ways in which games can be more than just things we play. I don't know if he's a teacher, but I think he understands teaching.
DrEvil, if you're not already on my friends list, add me.
You'll get $25 worth of games of your choice.

Man, hoping for Battleblock Theater to go on sale again. Noticed that a friend of mine doesn't have it while looking to him for co-op, bugged him about being a TERRIBLE PERSON. Now we have to see if it ever comes up as community or flash or something because he dropped the ball hardcore.
Transfer cards to google wallet if you have that attached to your steam. Or make new steam acct. add card as primary payment. buy three Mann co keys. Trade them to your main and sell for cash.
does he win 100 trillion dollars

People called Romanes they go the house?

Team Red on track for victory. Castle Wolfenstein will be mine, one way or another.

I was just bitching about this to Rhaknar-senpai.
Especially since the tile says Check out the DLCs and the S looks like a $.

Me and Turfster agree: SiN Episodes: Emergence needs to get a 75% off discount sometime! It's a good deal for the base price already (comes with a free, somewhat-patched copy of the original SiN), but a new sale would really get people back into this game and the rest of Ritual's back catalog.

Noooo so close. But congratulations to DrEvil... what devilish plan does he have for the our children. Thanks to Speevy for the fun contest, got my brain juices flowing and thanks also for the critique of my teaching plan.

Wow these threads move fast, well to ask my question again at the very end of the last ot, I have Rayman legends in my inventory and am thinking about trading it for broforce, should I do it or keep the Rayman?
its not? its the good kind of euro-jank
Oh... duh. Now I know why it's probably not getting a discount.
They probably don't want to cut down on potential future SiN Gold sales if and when it makes the jump from GOG to Steam.
But yes, it needs to happen.

Yeah, I'd probably have to roll with some bots if I wanted to jump into 3.
