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.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
