These sales are far too good, I'm ran out of money in my debit card trying to buy Plain Sight for my last purchase.
On the bright side, I now own 50 more games than I did two days ago. Now just for a bigger hard drive.

I used to hate Steam when it was just Valve games and some other stuff I didn't know. I had an ISDN 64K connection back then, and couldn't understand how people could stand buying and then downloading several gigs of info. Now? I love it. I switch computers frequently, I lose or scratch DVD's (I have lots of empty game cases and no idea where the discs are). Steam is the way to go. Thank fuck they persevered when I doubted them so much.
I'm the same. I've even bought games that I already have on Disc on it. I.E. Doom and Dues Ex. :D
Plus the Steam Cloud is just amazing.
The other thing I love about Steam (without trying to sound like a Steam fanboi which I am not). I love that they have old games which I grew up on (X-Com, Monkey Island etc). And they have made them work on modern hardware (mostly). Thanks Steam - here are my hard earned dollars..
Just thought I mention this here:
Valve is actually releasing their DOS games with DOSBox pre-installed. It's often an older version of DOSBox and you can overwrite the Steam version with the one from here: http://www.dosbox.com/
All (and I pretty much mean "all") DOS-age Lucas Arts adventures run perfectly in ScummVM: http://www.scummvm.org/ Unfortunately, LucasArts doesn't seem to use it for Windows re-releases.
Awesome, thanks for the info.
Won't care until i see some "Wing-Commander" on there!
I bought 4 games today that I will never play. Yet I have no regrets
I've made myself a vow to play all of the games I've got on Steam in Alphabetical order, reviewing them as I go.
Update your post with your results? I'll just remember to check back every month for the next several years.
Lawl. It's not going to happen for a few months. I'll post it on Gaming when I start.
Sweet. You get to start with 1701 A.D.: Gold Edition which looks awesome. I think this thread will last much more than several years. I admire your ambition. This is how all heroes and legends started - on a whim and with courage. It was good meeting you, however briefly. Now go, GO!
I don't have that one, I'm going to have to start with AAAAAAaaaaaAAAAAAAaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaah.
Also. Lol. :D
I'm a poor college student and i can only buy a 2-4 games that are around €4. (or, you know, 1 game that costs €16-20, etc) You have it easy :(
So far I have only bought the Serious Sam collection and Zeno Clash but I have about 20 games in my wishlist that I will buy by the last day of the sale. I haven't even installed some of the games I bought during the winter sale but I just can't resist buying more...
