2014 Steam Holiday Sale

No one gets excited about Steam sales now because it's a mature platform and everyone has Steam and everyone has already bought all the good deals in the previous 20 sales.

Pretty sure the site crashing from the load when each sale starts kinda kills that theory.
 
No thats just from everyone going there and hoping they have something good and everyone going *sigh* more crap, should have known better
 
What are the rules again?

Rocksmith (for me and a friend), Rome2, and Metal Gear all look interesting. I heard to go for GMG for Metal Gear and I'm willing to do it as long as it activates on Steam.

I just can't remember if I'm supposed to buy it, or wait for a difference sale.

Even Euro Truck Simulator looks interesting...man the wallet is easily going to bleed over 100 bucks, but as long as I maintain a 10:1 ratio (ie: about the same as movies...10 dollars per hour lol) or less I'm okay with it...kind of....🙄 damn steam...

You can put the games in your wishlist and it'll e-mail you when they are on the daily deal. Not sure about flash deals and community choices.
 
I think all I'm mostly looking for is the new Telltale games (Game of Thrones and Borderlands). I'd also like to nab Ikaruga, which is currently not on sale at all. 🙁 I did buy some Rocksmith DLC, which was strangely priced. You had to buy the songs separately because they were 50% off where the packages were 25% off. 😕

isn't there a way to install games remotely on your steam machine via the web client?

I know you can do it with the mobile app, but I don't think you can do it with just the webpage.
 
I didn't even realize FSX was on Steam! Insta-buy!

Just FYI the Steam version is not working with almost all 3rd party addons. Will have to wait and see how Dovetail handles getting support from devs.

Worth 5 bux to see... yup!

I'm hoping for XP10 to have a deep discount. or maybe P3D.

OK cool. I'll try that. Thanks!
 
Defense Grid 2.. anyone liking that one? how is the coop?

Wish I could tell you. I kickstarted it long ago for $105, because that came with two 6770 graphic cards that seemed like a good deal at the time.

They're sitting here shrink wrapped.

I recently got my code and added it to Steam but haven't played.
 
Ok I just realized that Far Cry 4 is not on sale, what the hell.

Well then, I'll have more time to actually finish FC3.
