Steam Sale 4: Summer of Staycation Savings

^Try using the Steam Support and looking for Billing articles.

Anyways, if you like racing games, do give Test Drive Unlimited 2 a whirl.

Got three achievements so far. I think they are going to be like the Treasure Hunt and have one freebie for each fresh set of achievements.

The A Reckless Disregard For Gravity achievement is very tough though, and I don't have much of a clue about the Toki Tori achievement yet.

Got the Aaa Aaa achievement, somehow. Pretty tricky.

Magicka + all DLC packs + $16 price point = Why do you hate my wallet, Steam?

Y'know what would just really kill all of our wallets forever?

If they did a three sale combo like they did last year for just because + Thanksgiving + Christmas

Name on Steem: "Vorkosigan" Comes from a series of books me and my sister like

Going down the list of tickets for today:

• Have Beat, and I should be able to get that ticket
• Not interested in Warhamer 40 K
• Lead And Gold looks alright, but Not going to get it myself. Though if someone buys the 4-pack and sends one my way, I would not mind playing it.
• Might as well get the Aaaaa A Aaaa AAA!!! + The Wonderful End of the World pack if I'm going to get Aaaaa A Aaaa AAA!!!(thank god for copy/paste)
• ...my mom has Toki Tori on her touch. And Now I am getting it for Steam. Not sure how I feel about this...
• I keep looking at Swords and Soldiers HD, and now have a reason to buy it. The 66% off helps a bit, too.

publisher packs:

• The publisher packs always look so good, but I probably would not play most of the games. Even though I currently have the money to buy them, I really should be saving for a new-ish car D:
• ...Though the Cyan Complete Pack got me. $10 for permanent copies of all the Myst games? YES PLEASE.
• The I Win Bundles look particularly tempting as well.
• Mumbo Jumbo has 20 games that would keep me occupied for DAYS for $25... ARG!

Daily games

• Already have Recettear
• Fine! I'll get Runner if you insist.
• ...I'm more into the JRPG style than Western RP Gs. So unless someone gives me a good reason to, I don't think I'll get Oblivion no matter how good the price.

End result for now: Runner + Cyan complete pack + Aaaaa A Aaaa AAA!!! + The Wonderful End of the World + Toki Tori + Swords and Soldiers HD = $22.23

Now here is hoping there are not too many "I MUST BY THIS NOW" sales through the rest of the sale...

Anyone see more "must haves"? I admit I only looked the the publishers that had 50%+ discounts.

Is Toki Tori the same game as the wiiware one? Which version is better?

I believe there is only one Toki Tori game, but I can't say for sure.

An amusing statistic: right now there are 1253 games available for $10> and 727 for $5>. Have to compare that to after the sale.

(well, there is gameboy game, but...) So is pc version identical to Wiiware version? Apparently pc version has two more levels from iphone version o-o So does it have two more levels than wiiware version?

For the Toki Tori "sunbeam" ticket, I've found two so far: first "world" levels 6 and 8. I'll let you figure out how to get to them. Note: finish the levels first, because, at least on lvl 6, it is impossible to get to the sunbeam and all the eggs in one play though. It seems to count just getting to the beam for the reward.

Well, there are 5 worlds. From what I remember, the touch version only has 3

Got Borderlands. Hoping STALKER goes on sale.

^^ [[Here http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/25572/sunbeams-in-toki-tori-for-the-get-a-tan-achievement]] is the answer.

Got now 5 tickets, I didn't bother buying the Warhammer one and the western third person shooter ones.(first one because I don't have money, second because while its genre of game I like I wasn't interested in it)

The only thing in yesterday's sale I'd go for is Recettear. I already own Borderlands and Lead & Gold, and nothing else grabs my interest.

Also, I love how the only game on my wishlist that's not on sale is my number one.

My wishlist, by the way.

Just as I'm completely out of money until mid-July and bought food. thx steam. fuck you.

Just to make sure: The Prize Camp Booth will be same for this whole event, and wont change with each day like the games/challenges right? There are 2 or 3 things there I would like to get, and it would suck if they simply wouldn't be available tomorrow.

I'd imagine so. Changing it would be kind of a dick move, considering it's impossible to get all the Prizes in one day.

I'm having a bit of a problem with steam atm, is it not letting other people log in atm either?

Only one activity today? Me is sad.

And yeah, first time I went to the store I got 503'd. Their servers are being hit hard by all the people trying to buy games.

I'm just trying to play shogun 2

Theres now more activities.

The Team Fortress 2 one doesn't seem to be working.

Tf2 just patched... Summer Glasses get!

More news ahead:

• The entire Just Causes series is on sale. 75% off GET IT.
• GTA classics is on sale. Everything from the original to san andreas: $7.49
• Braid is $2.50 if your big on puzzlers
• Heroes Of Might And Magic V Complete Pack $5.00

Hamilton's Great Adventure and Space Chem look fun.

Anyone think Alien Breed: Impact or Dwarfs!? is worth buying? And why you feel that way?

...Not sure how I feel about linking Steam to my Facebook account - it has my real name and I would like to keep my professional/people-who-I-personally-know accounts separate from my game accounts. Easy ticket that I will be missing.

Not all that interested in the Star Wars collection and the GTA games are tempting, but the Might And Magic games got me.

Just realized that Chaos Theory, a game that keeps popping up on my "recommended for you" lists, is $1.70. Might as well get it.

It does not make your Facebook name visible on your Steam account.

Indeed, I haven't actually noticed anything happening with the Steam-Facebook link. Facebook isn't even sperging about any achievements I get, which I figured would be the purpose of the link.
