Grand Prize (1 winner) Every single game on Steam :drool: :drool: :drool:

EDIT: go to the holidaysale (http://store.steampowered.com/holidaysale/) page, sign in, then click the "check your inventory" achievement (open your inventory to see what gift they gave you) -- I got this: "25% off any one title on Steam listed with Valve as the publisher. Excludes titles released after January 2nd, 2012. (Valid January 2nd, 2012 through March 1st, 2012)" -- what did you get?!

33%. Don't really want anything that it applies to as I either own it or have no interest in it.

Would REALLY love to apply 33% off to Batman: AC.

75% off Empire Total War starting Jan 2nd

Already own it.  :headscratch:

Anyone want it?  If I can gift it in conjunction with the offer I'll be glad to do it.

Upon further review it would appear I also received Oddworld Stranger's Wrath as a gift game. Unfortunately there are no valve titles I want to use my coupon with.

Nice guys, today's deals (Day 2) are now active.  I heard great things about Witcher 2 from a friend (and the graphics look fantastic) so I'll be picking this up @ 40% off.  That's it for me today, any other takers?

RO2 for $20 is a good deal as well.  Another game that we should be supporting with dedicated servers.  Uses the UT3 engine if I'm not mistaken.  I setup a dedi not too long ago but only two of us bought it.  Wasnt going to keep it running for that.

I too was thinking about the Witcher, but my RPG backlog is large enough.

I hear you... especially with Steam and all their sales over the years; overwhelmed with so many games, the desire to finish them started to feel more like a chore/job than for entertainment value haha -- learned that it can be fun and rewarding to stick to ONE game and crank it out (at your own pace of course) -- did this with Mirror's Edge, Trine, Metro 2033, etc.

Never played the Mass Effect's and with ME3 on the horizon, I'm gonna hit up ME1&2 :P

Two good buys today.

Blur & Brink.

I mentioned Blur on here before.  An arcade racer like mario kart with real-ish cars.  Very fun.  The "acquired" version works perfectly well over LAN.  But at $5 I'm gonna go ahead and purchase it.  We play this at our own local LAN and its a blast.  You can get up to 20 people in the same race.  This game at FITES200 would be insanely fun.

and Brink.... I made a thread about it before.  This game does not deserve a fraction of the flak that it gets.  Fun gameplay, objectives, team based, good graphics, and dedicated servers. 

If you dont buy anything else on sale this week I suggest these two games.   :hail:

Sounds good.  Just sent you a friend request on STEAM.  Sounds like its time to setup a dedi.

Of course, AFTER batman AC goes off-sale, I realize that I have one more paycheck this month to put towards rent.

Buying torchlight, limbo and brink to ease my pain.

In the area where you first get the buggy and are driving around/away from the antlions, there was a HUUUUUGE bridge spanning across the river. Now it's gone. It's been gone for a couple releases and when I asked about it, the guy said he took it out on purpose.

I honestly think it added to the atmosphere a hell of a lot more than not having it there, but that's just me.

I bought gary's mod

I was always a little disappointed in Garry's Mod.  Another game that has so much potential.  Imagine the flexibility of GMod with the perpetual world of Minecraft.

Instantly the best game ever made. :D

I don't think it was meant to be a game per se.  More like a sandbox.  Also used to make animations and 'scenes'....a la:

Serious Sam BFE is $20 for today's deal. 50% off.

Fudge. Yes.

Game is officially awesome. Plus, network play! Didn't even know that bit. Score! Split screen play, too!

Just picked up Universe Sandbox for $2.50.  Gifted one to my Science teacher nerd g/f too.

Dead Island is only $20. At that price it would be a good game to pick up. I pre ordered it and it definitely wasn't worth that amount of money. Had many issues. But they have fixed most if not all of the issues. I have yet to try the multi-player on it.
