Well, I did it for this week and...
Super Meat Boy (On Sale: $8.97; Regularly: $14.95): http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-SMB/super-meat-boy
Is the only game currently on sale that is registrable on Steam.
We might get to add Mount & Blade Warband/Fire & Sword as they appear in the Summer Sale list, but are not currently discounted. But I'd also be wary of Mount & Blade as they do have different CD key versions and only one kind is registrable on Steam. For example, I know copies bought on Amazon's DD service do not register on Steam.

All us real men use junctions. Got steam installed on a 60GB SSD, and then i have the steamapps folder on a 4TB RAID0 Array.
It's pretty boss.

Nothing against Junctions, but this is honestly easier:
1) Go into your Steam folder and copy out your Steamapps folder.
2) Uninstall Steam.
3) Re-install Steam into the directory/drive of your choice.
4) Copy back your Steamapps folder.
Done.
All new Steam games will install there from now on.

I wonder what's this week's midweek sale.

I believe if you just go into the Steam folder and delete everything except for Steam.exe and Steamapps, then copy the entire directory to wherever you want, then double click on Steam.exe it takes care of the rest. May not even have to delete anything, just moving it might be enough.
This doesn't address the issue of wanting games installed in different places from Steam of course, which is what junctions does.

Fair points. However, I think just moving the entire Steam directory is far easier and covers the majority of the average person's needs.

TouchMyBox, Sanjay, mojiimbo and Truespeed thanks for contributing with your inputs, was worried my question would get buried in this massive thread. Next game i download will be set up like this, probably Vampire Masquerade.

I've just copied and pasted my entire steam directory onto a new HDD before, without any issues.

So for anyone unfamiliar with symbolic links/junctions here's what I do when I want to move a Steam game to another location.
1. Move the Steam game to the new directory.
2. Open a command prompt to the the steamapps\common directory and execute the following command to create the link - modify accordingly, of course.
mklink /J "C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\NAMEOFGAME" "G:\steamgames\NAMEOFGAME"
e.g.
mklink /J "C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\vampire the masquerade - bloodlines" "G:\steamgames\vampire the masquerade - bloodlines"
Your Steam client will never know the difference.

I'd have to sit and remember but what I do remember was a frustrating game that in retrospect I shouldn't have paid any money for.
I don't remember enough at this point since it was a while ago I got it, but what I do remember is I hated it about as much as Space Siege, though for different reasons.

First time Civ player, nearing the 40 hour mark on my fifth game. I keep upping the A.I.'s difficulty, increasing the map size and number of opposing civilisations and city states. I've won through domination, having the largest/best civilisation by the year 2050, did a failed cultural victory run, completed a science victory and I'm not sure what the current game is going to end up being. I am aiming for cultural victory but am hedging my bets by making a sprawling empire by crushing a few other civs and city states (only when provoked!).
The amount of content there is in this game is ridiculous. Once I've played through my current game as the french I will have played all of the land mass types, I'm not certain about the number of opposing civs/city states and map sizes, I've played through the game with only half of the available civilisations, I haven't played all of the available difficulty levels, I haven't tried the online yet and I haven't even touched the DLC scenarios that came with the game or the one DLC scenario I purchased when I bought the game.
If you don't own Civ 5 and are remotely interested in it, you should snap this game up when it goes on sale next. Civ 5 is absurd. And awesome, but mainly absurd because of how much content there is in this game and how surprisingly addictive it is. I have to pace myself when playing this game, otherwise I'll blink and the day is gone or it's 3 in the morning. I did not expect to enjoy the game this much or to be this engrossed by it.

Thanks for the heads up. I regretted not getting them in the last sale.
I would like to let everyone know that Dirt3 eats savegames.
It ate mine last night. I was less than happy.
It crashes very often on my rig, especially when messing around with the GWFL interface, but I could deal with that. This last time it crashed during save though and apparently Codemasters is too cool to do a two-staged lock process here so ... bam.

Some highlights from that Gamersgate sale:
The Saboteur: $10
Pathologic: $2.50 (kind of a janky fps horror game, I like it)
AVP 2000: $2
King's Bounty: Armored Princess: $2.50 (HOLY SHIT WHY AREN'T YOU BUYING THIS NOW)
Cryostasis and Necrovision pack: $7.50
Culpa Innata: $6 (great adventure game, a gem)
Dead Space: $6.78
Penumbra Black Plague Gold: $10 (from the makers of Amnesia, this has the first and second Penumbra games, They're great)
Crossworlds and Armored Princess GOTY: $15 (has AP and the expansion for it, Crossworlds)
Space Ranger Complete Pack: $15 (great rts styled game)
Disciples 3: $12 (They say it's alright, but 2 is better. IDK)

As far as I know the patch issue is true, and around launch there were issues with the game running on AMD cards. I'm not sure if that was ever fixed officially or unofficially, or how the game performs in general now.
I will say, however, that it's worth ten dollars. I really enjoyed myself when I paid nearly full price for it around launch.

I picked it up during the last EA sale for $10, and it's alright. It's not the greatest pc port, but it runs better and looks better than my Xbox 360 version.
The game itself is wonderful, though. Very underrated.
