The give & get sale at Steam
 

So, I was looking around the Steam store to see what could I find, and there's a sale going from today to Nov 29. The thing about this sale is that you can get huge discounts in some games if you buy them in bundles. So, I was thinking maybe we could buy these bundles and expand our TF2 and L4D2 weekends to other games. And also to save some money while getting new games ^_^

You missed the best part! Valve is giving away games. They're going to pick 30 random people each day, and give them 5 games from their wishlists. You are eligible if you have 10 or more things on yours.

Details here.

I can't decide if I want Alpha Protocol at the current price or not.

Also, similar to akasm's thinking, we should bolster our TF2 and L4D crews - and even then mainly the latter since almost everybody has TF2 - to make these events even more insanely awesome!

It's only €7.50.
I got it for full-price on my PS3, and I had fun with it.

Just go for it, dude.

Yeah, the ratings against Alpha Protocol are all pretty unfair. The writing is basically the best you're going to see in a video game, and character choices actually make a significant difference to how the game unfolds. Just because they don't let you know that you should invest into some kind of gun at the beginning for boss fights, if nothing else, is really no reason to rate it as low as it's been rated by a lot of people.

I got myself Counter Strike: Source for £3.50, which I think was a very good deal indeed.

Hey guys, guess what?

L4D2 is on sale, you can get a 6 copy bundle for only 24.99, making each copy just about 4 USD, I think this is a great opportunity for those who don't have it (last weekend I counted Ryong and Mac)

Also, there are some big damn discount on indie game packs :eek:. Oh boy, my account is gonna be filled with these :3

Guys, massive spoilers ahead.

"The Indie bundles and gift packs of games over the next 4 days of the Steam sale have been leaked, via THE COMPETITION. This was made available before today’s sale, and contained everything that went on sale today, so I think it is safe to assume it is legit.

These Indie Packs, if the same price as the previous 2, will be £3.99 each:
Indie Air Pack: Altitude, DogFighter, Flotilla, Gratuitous Space Battles, Plain Sight
Indie Clever Pack: Doc Clock: The Toasted Sandwich of Time, Eufloria, Iron Grip: Warlord, VVVVVV, World of Goo
Indie Pulse Pack: Audiosurf, Beat Hazard, Bit Trip Beat, The Polynomial, Rhythm Zone
Indie Puzzle Pack: Cogs, Droplitz, Puzzle Dimension, Shatter, Tidalis

Also leaked were the games that are going to be available in multi Packs for gifting, and how many will be in the pack, although without prices (but they have all been heavily discounted so far):
Aliens Vs Predator TWO THOUSAND AND TEN 6-pack
Braid 10-pack
Empire: Total War 6-pack

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II – Chaos Rising 8-pack

Not leaked were the individual sale items, so the surprise hasn’t been totally ruined.

Edit: Something worth mentioning. A lot of the items in multi packs so far have also been discounted individually."

Hmm, the packs look really interesting, maybe I'll get them all :3. Also, the borderlands offer is gone, and I just deposited some money in my bank account :crying:

I picked up the Deus Ex pack with a few minutes to spare

Really hoping the Fallout pack would have gone up, but oh well

edit: I feel sorta dumb, but what determines the 'rank' of my wishlist items and how do I change it if I can?
