Steam Summer Sale

It's coming...

Should be here around the beginning of July! What are you hoping will get put on sale? Will you pick up your 15th copy of Bastion for £3?
Personally I'm hoping Retro City Rampage gets the -75% treatment.

It was on sale last year, and they tend to repeat things so you're in for a shout. You have no idea how hard my wallet was hit last year.

That would be it. I only remember saying Ys on sale, not which titles in the series it was.

It'd be nice if the new Civ V expansion showed up in the sale... it won't happen but it'd be nice!
Maybe AoEII HD if that's not too recent as well.

Ooh, I'd forgotten about AoE2 being out on Steam. That was played to death back in the day. I was turned off by its inital release on Steam just because the price was a bit steep. I reckon we'll see it cheaper - I mean ARMA2 was put on sale last year even though it was selling hotcakes at £30.

Are you ready? http://gaben.tv/

My brain says no, 300+ games that I'll probably never play should be enough right? But my wallet disagrees. Damn you Steam  

IT'S HERE.

So far I've bought FTL and Ys 1 & 2 Chronicles and I've only used money I got from selling Steam Trading Cards

I was a bit disappointed to see XCOM come up in the flash sale voting for £7.50 having bought it the night before- then I checked the reciept and I'd paid £7.49.

EAT IT GABEN, I WIN.

I decided to get Scribblenauts on my laptop just because it was $5 and because I could

I bought every Tomb Raider game except the recent reboot for £8. Madness.

I would recommend Kerbal Space Program to anyone at that price, it's not a finished game but it really does feel like one and there's an update next month that's adding a lot and making some big changes.
There's a demo on their website https://kerbalspaceprogram.com/download.php but last time I checked the demo was pretty outdated and missing loads of stuff.
Seriously if you like space or building stuff or blowing stuff up then you need this game

Having only MineCraft on my PC, I've just bought 5 formerly-full-price games for under £17. Including FTL, with which I plan to rename my crewmembers as forumites in the hope it'll activate some kind of cheat mode.

It activates the Balladeer Grammar Nazi special mode, where it scans your computer for any typos in text documents you might have and displays an angry message if there any.

after making a grand total of 44p from this trading cards stuff I took the 75% off price of getting the gold upgrade for Civ V. That shall be my lot.

How can you show such restraint? I've probably spent about £40 so far.

Because I don't care much for gaming on my laptop if I'm going to play a normal game it'll be on the PS3 and an indie game probably the Vita. Also I'm broke!

Fair enough. I'm fully expecting me to transition over to PC for the next generation.

June 19 is the rumour for this year's, aparrently.

Incredibly relevant.

The sale's Trading Cards started dropping two days ago.

IT'S HAPPENING

How do you get them again, by completing badges? I might complete a few badges.

Oh no! Not yet! There are still several games I haven't downloaded from last year! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
