I'm not gonna check steam, I'm getting hungry with wanting to buy games I don't have time to play....

I know where you're coming from with this.

Also, in previous Steam Summer Sales, weren't there coupons too?
This is my first Steam sale, so I'm very new to all of this. How would the 'veterans' compare this sale with previous sales?

The sale is good but not as good as previous ones so far. I mean, I remember getting Bad Company 2 and Just Cause 2 for ~$5 each. I haven't seen crazy deals like that yet.

And were there coupons? How did you get them?
Also, what's up with the badges you can earn by voting and buying stuff?

Is the steam store not loading for any of you? It won't load for me

Anyway, so far I've bought:
Binding of Isaac
Tribes Starter Pack
Sonic Generations

I'm probably going to buy Walking Dead, and perhaps some other games.

Steam's fine here, just deciding on whether to purchase Vessel

EDIT:Typo

there were coupons in previous years you got by collecting coals at chistmas, and to get coals you could either get achievments in games that were on sale that day or silly things like adding someone to your friends list etc. there doesnt seem to be coupons or collectables this year because at christmas you had a ton of people making spam accounts to farm the vouchers. the badges, just for the e-peen really

Well, I think I bought more games than you. In the end I'll probably play only some of them.
Where can I see the games I bought, like I quoted?

On Steam, top right corner should be a link that says "(Your account name here)'s Account". Click that and it will display your purchase history.

Bastion just won the Community Choice vote (75% off)! I've been waiting for that to drop below $5 for ages. Finally!

Bastion is great. I'm not buying it because I just blatantly pirated it, but I can definitely see myself picking it up a few times at this price to resell with profit!

Waiting for the next flash sale too before I go to bed, good times Steam, good times.

 

[Zaertix]

I can't wait for the next voting. Hopefully it's something good lol (they all have been)

VGRU is going to get some good PC reviews this month! woop woop.

Dead space 2, Just Cause 2, GTA IV

How fricking good can do those votes become?!

 

[Zaertix]

Oh damn... I want Just Cause 2... But I also want GTA IV... Ughhh DECISIONS.

 

[Satangel]

I voted GTA IV, it's bound to win I think.
Nice site btw, I'll check it out!

 

[jamesaa]

Voted Dead Space 2, completed it on my PS3, but don't own the game anymore so if it's cheap enough I may buy it

Already have Just Cause 2, again on PS3.

GTA IV, meh I had it on my 360, didn't like it - I enjoyed all the other GTA games, dunno why not this one

Haha thanks! I'm actually fixing to post a blog about it and see if I can't drum up some stuff

I urge anyone to abuse the Monkey Island bundle while you can, 2 of the finest click and point games at a dead cheap price you cannot go wrong
