2011 Steam Summer Sale


Recommended Posts

So far all I bought was Transformers: War for Cybertron and Kane & Lynch 2. Gonna pick up New Vegas + DLC today, and I'll wait till the end to pick up the Valve complete pack, just in case it drops any lower (I doubt it though). So far the sale has been pretty easy on my wallet. :cool:

First Steam Sale it looks like I am not going to purchase anything. I still have a back log of games to catch up on, and anything I was interested in in this sale I have already played. No biggie, historically speaking I always tend to purchase the most during the Winter Sale anyway.

I wish they would have offered Battlefield 3 pre-order with notable discount..but there still has hope :rolleyes:

the game isn't even on steam and there is no news yet that it ever will be (though it would only make sense that it would...) effin EA and their origin site.

Man, this is nuts. Purchased "Serious Sam HD: Gold Edition", just to get the achievement in "Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter" for the one extra summer ticket :unsure:

That is nuts. With the millions of people on steam, one extra ticket will hardly increase your odds of winning. I'm only getting the free tickets and the ones from games I already own. :blink:

Edit: Also, I still have Crysis 2 on my wishlist, if I won, would I still get a copy, even if it's not for sale on steam anymore :laugh:

But you also get dlcs/games of your choosing from the available options using three tickets for each. Already grabbed myself the sunglasses for TF2 and the upcoming map pack for Homefront.

And still gott he tickets remained in the jar after, so I think I'm still up for the chance to win the big prize (no matter how small my chances are) using those six tickets.

Personally I don't see much DLC that interests me. If you do the free tickets everyday (assuming future days will have free tickets also) You'll get 10 tickets without having to purchase anything.

watch out for Defense Grid...good game but gets really tough towards the end, i could never finish it.

I've already got it on the 360 and have beaten it, but it's such a good TD game and at $5 for the game and all 4 DLC map packs, I couldn't say no, if for no other reason than to support Hidden Path.

But what else you're gonna spend those tickets on? And just because there's going to be a free ticket option, doesn't mean you'll get it for sure.

For example I couldn't get one on July 1st, because I don't have a Facebook account.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
