Everytime Endless Space pops up on sale I say "I'll buy it next time", and I never buy it. I think I'm not really in the mood to buy another 4x strategy when I'm still trying to learn Civ 5 and I want to start Gal Civ 2 soon.

I guess it's haul time-- I ultimately bought more than I thought I would:
140, Bleed,The Blackwell Bundle,Paranautical Activity,Grid 2,Castle Crashers,Castle Crashers Pink Knight,Dust: An Elysian Tail,Bulletstorm,LEGO Lord of the Rings

And, for good measure, I bought the groupees bundle that had Cognition in it.

Enjoy my money, Valve!

Or

Sennheiser 363d for $140.75

My wife said if I get the head phones I can't buy any games from this sale or the winter sale. She's kind of pissed that I bought a few space ships in Star Citizen last week.

Rayge, talk to me before you buy a headset.

Admittedly, those Sennheisers are literally about the only option you should consider in terms of headsets.

Just bought Dust: An Elysian Tale. Heard good things about it. My brother really enjoyed it when he got it for XBLA. Natural Selection 2 is a great game. One of the best deals I've seen on Steam. It has a high learning curve though but it doesn't take too long to get the hang of it.

My haul wasn't that big:

Rogue Legacy (already had the GOG version and my save imported perfectly)
Age of Empires II HD
Sonic CD
Dishonored GOTY (thanks to that $3 price mistake)
Antichamber
Gone Home

I already liked Rogue Legacy, enjoyed the very short time I had with Gone Home and Antichamber has been killing my brain in the best way possible so far. Age of Empires II is...well, the same game I remember. Very few changes it seems, but that's fine.

Busy day at work, just catching up on the past dozen pages or so over lunch - respect to all, particularly jshack and Camel for the monster giveaways. You are true gentlemen of SteamGAF. <3

Oh, and everyone should pick up NS2 at this price if they're even vaguely interested in online multi-player experiences - it deserves a thriving community, and is very well supported by its loving devs.

Yes. It's a fantastic Metroidvania, with amazing visuals, great music, and a really tight combat system.

Yes, it's a really good game with fun gameplay, fantastic background art and some funny back and forth between the characters.

I guess it is a yes then. Thanks.

For me, simply dust and contagion.

If I didn't hold back I would've bought 3-4 more. I think I still may buy one more... depending on the last flash sale. I presume the sale ends tomorrow since the sale on the current daily deals end tomorrow instead of lasting 48 hours. But I am also presuming there is one last flash sale starting at 1am est.

I've been trying to be real good this sale by not buying anything as I have a tremendous backlog. I even passed up Sleeping Dogs for $5.

However, I'm feeling the itch - AoE II HD for $5, Shadow Warrior for $10, and Tomb Raider for $10. Such good deals, but I should probably pass as I have no intention on playing them anytime soon (just start playing Icewind Dale, which will take me forever to get through), and I'm sure they'll go on sale again.

So, I should pass, right? Right? Steel my resolve, GAF!

Good list.

I'll add that if you buy now you'll have skipped all the rough edges it experienced in the early days :) (and pay practically nothing)

This is probably one of the things worth highlighting the most. In the rounds I played over a bunch of servers, never once was I called on any amount of shit. Someone would ask me what was wrong if I wasn't doing something right, and then would go out of their way to help me out. And while things get heated in battle no one ever says shitty things to one another. A battle was always well fought and well respected.

Killing Floor is the only other community I've joined randoms in that has come close.

I'm considering buying the 1C Strategy Collection if nothing of interest shows up in the next Flash sale. I want that collection just for the King's Bounty games. Should I bite, or wait for those games to show up in a bundle?

Good list plus it has cards and Linux support and good reviews. Will definitely take a look.

So 505 Games will be giving refunds over Ashes Cricket 2013. Has this ever happened before for a game released on Steam before?
