No, you lose. Now Gaben will demand a sit down dinner to discuss why you didn't spend money to feed the machine.
Dinner will cost a lot more.

No idea, bought it this morning. I'll play with you if you get it, just add me on Steam, where my ID is my GAF username.

I put hundreds of hours into Diablo III and I thought Torchlight II was the more fun game. However, it's best played with friends as the online community can be a mixed bag of legit players and hackers.
Although the gameplay is pretty weak, it's definitely worth playing if you're interested in the story. The production values and voice acting improved over the first game, but if you didn't like the writing in the TLJ, you won't like Dreamfall.

Hey, but on the bright side we've got new flash deals for the rest of today that might not entirely be repeats
Its my first steam sale, I didn't know there were rules.
So they have the game on sale anyway....and then throw it in a daily deal too. What the hell is the point of the original sale? So that people can feel shafted later?
Its funny because there were times when me or friends have bought a game at gamestation in a sale, they've discounted the game even further a week later and had no problem refunding the £10 difference.

The game must have been at a price you were comfortable with if you were willing to pay it. The golden rule is always keep an eye on the daily deals and flash deals, if the game doesnt get any cheaper just buy on the last day of the sale
Remember when people complained about that too?

No worries. If you didn't read the OT, you didn't know. Your not the first to be burned by this, and you won't be the last.
Just expect to be reminded to always wait for the dailies.

I don't think it's possible to patch boredom.
On the plus side, you'll never make the same mistake again! And you still got the games for cheap.
Digital distribution pricing is great. You'll never want to go back.
I really liked the game but I'm in the minority. It's really bad on PC though even after the patch. So buggy. Keep A LOT of save files. One time I got stuck in a cutscene...hard to explain but as I only has the one save file I had to start the whole game again. Another time I was walking along, saw an icon to pick something up, figured I just couldn't see it. Pressed the button to pick it up and Lara starts sidestepping....and sidestepping....and she ends up walking through the wall of like a jail cell with these metal bars and then picked up an item in there. At that point I was completely stuck and hard to load an old save.
The PS2 version was much better for me. Only fell through the floor once!
Yeah it was a good price and if it was a week or two I'd probably take it on the chin. Less than 24 hours though? can't hurt to try for my money back.
Its a shame, because while I understand the sales importance decreases the longer you've been on Steam. This new set up is terrible, where in most cases its just the same sales repeating. Having the flash sales would have been excellent way to keep titles like Killing Floor or Mass Effect present, but make way for newer titles for dailies. Basically more on sale, but instead we are left with the same sales repeating. Add on community repeats and even the end of sale recap, Something like Skyrim was on sale 4 times last summer if I recall.
OT is pretty subtle
It's like people don't even try.
It's the definition of Amateur Hour.
This video was posted on another thread, and turned me away from ever attempting to even try it:

I know this is really a cliche thing to ask, but do yall think Miasmata is worth the asking price?
GMG is, but only if you have a time machine. Otherwise, Amazon.

its like they mailed it in.
6 dailes @ 48 hours vs. 12 dailes @ 36 hours
one would've thought that with less 'dailes' there would be more variety. oops
(ignoring the Flash and Community deals for now)
It's mind boggling that it was in a community vote (lost) and hasn't been recycled yet considering how much recycling has been going on.
HOLDING OUT HOPE TILL THE VERY LAST FLASH DEAL GOES UP
and then buying it if that doesn't happen

By the time you get your money back the games wont be on sale for the cheaper price anymore. It's just $10 for a game that you will always have, discs will never get scratched, and the games will always be backwards compatible.

Deja Vu on a lot of these deals. So it doesn't look like Fallout or Dead Space will be a daily or flash deal this sale.

Bought Doom 3 BFG for $14 off the sale. Now I can't get it to run full screen. Windows 8 64 bit, 8 gig memory, I5 processor, Nvidia 660ti. I can get it playing in a windowed screen but that's it. Anyone out there that can help? I googled and checked the steam forums and apparently many people are having problems. :/
Must. Not. LOSE. H-O-P-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

75% off or BUST!
Yeah, strange that it hasn't been up yet.
I got it for $4 off a fellow gaffer who got the Bethesda bundle.

I said it before and I'll say it again: There will be an influx of Fallout: New Vegas (And fallout 3 for that matter) GOTY keys for sale in mid-to-end of January, once the Bethesda Pack keys are given by GamersGate.
So unless you're really desperate to play it anytime soon, i'd wait until the end of the month
There's always the chance that they won't fulfill the sales, but I doubt that.

I'd totally be interested in #3 if it came with Gods & Kings too.

Tomb Raider Anniversary. Back me up on this GAF.
dragon age went on sale the day before I decided to start PC gaming.
of course, as with the only other game I wanted repeated (Sleeping Dogs), it won't happen.
