I hope you learned your lesson about shopping at Gamestop, young man! ;)

...seriously, I'd rather eat my own eyeballs than pay full price for any game. Unless it's maybe Planescape Torment 2.

Furthermore, I think Guantanamo must be destroyed.

Warning! Do not buy until the end! You will be pissed when something is given a daily deal!

As someone who owns Recettear, let me say that it is an awesome game. It combines standard JRPG adventuring with shopkeeper haggling amazingly well and is definitely worth the five bucks. The story is very light, but they make up for it with excellent characterization.

Does anyone know if the 'developer' packages ever go on daily deals, or is it just individual games that get that benefit? Trying real hard to decide whether to buy things individually or wait and hope for package deals. For example, I'd love Oblivion, but I also want friggin' Morrowind!

God, the prizes...I want the Summer Shades, Snorkels and the Audi RS5 Coupe so badly...

Also, should the title of the thread be changed to "Steam Sale 4: Summer Camp Sale"?

Holy crap, the servers must be getting pounded. It took me about ten tries to actually put Oblivion in my cart.

Yeah, userbase is going crazy.

Also, I just attempted the Sun level in A Reckless Disregard For Gravity. Final rating: 3 Stars. I do not operate well under stress, and that level had plenty of it.

[up][up][up][up] That'll work, but I like the Added Alliterative Appeal of the title.

Anyways... entered for one ticket (although it's obviously a cinch)

I wonder what tomorrow's achievements will be. I'm already entered for the Wishlist thing and I hope to get enough tickets to get prizes.

Speaking of which: Does getting prizes mean you're not eligible for the Wishlist Giveaway, or not?

Uggghhhh Nooooo

.....Although I'm at the seaside and dumping money in slot machines mindlessly so I'm not sure this is really going to kill me. But only because my Laptop can't run most games on steam.

Today, most likely Bit Trip......and MAYBE BTTF........UGGH it will kill me I'm going homeless.

No indie packs this time. Odd.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

I think the BIT.TRIP achievement is broken. Just a caution to anyone who might try to get it. [Edit: Just got an update for BIT.TRIP, gonna try it again.] [Edit 2: It works!]

Also, I got 34,955 on the Aa Aa AA! sun level, 45 points short of a 5-star. Argh! Finally got it a couple (dozen) tries later, though. Persistence pays off.

By the way, does anybody have Alien Breed 2, and is it any good? Shooters (other than shmups) aren't really my thing, but I'm wondering if I should get it with my tickets once I accumulate enough. (Come on, fix BIT.TRIP already!)

The Longest Journey and Dreamfall are only $6.24 together, if anyone loves a game with a great plot, characters, and setting then you have no excuse not to buy them.

Too bad I bought them for full price not too long ago. Oh well, they were well worth it.tongue

Did any of you give me Toki Tori? I got a gift, but it glitched and my friend keeps giving me a game that I really don't want, so I don't know what happened.
