Not sure if people have brought this up already but the Portal Bundle with both games is only $5 for the next 2 days. These were the last games I was planning on getting before the Sale started and might be the last thing I buy :)

 

There are people on this planet who don't own both portal games? Just, how?

Bought both Torchlight games recently on sale for about $9 total.

 

Haven't played a RPG dungeon crawler since Dark Cloud 2/Dark Chronicles.

TL2 is a great example of the genre, I have a couple chars levelled up a bit, if you want a shadow (game has good coop) I might be down to join in depending on what time of day it is. :)

Sure that would be great, but I will like to play-through and finish TL1 first, don't want to get spoiled by all the extra features TL2 has before playing the first.

Sure, I'll PM my steam over if you want to add, might be cool to stick music in the chat from time to time. :)

Would anyone recommend Battlefield Bad Company 2 at this point? Is there an active multiplayer community?

Yes there is, but I'd choose BF3 over it as that has a much stronger community.

The competition has been completely unpredictable and ridiculous in it's entirety.

It was a terrible idea to allow players to switch teams.  I think it would've been better if teams were randomized each day.

Whoo! I didn't think I could do it, but I reached level 8! I didn't get my promised Summer cards from voting, but oh well. Nice to see a level 8 next to my name. :D

 

Looks like Team Red will probably win again, also I hope the Zombies pack wins the vote. :wub:

That sounds a whole lot better. The same two teams are winning. Poor Team White's whole idea got ruined. :(

If the others win, and you don't own Crysis get that, not only was it graphics masturbation for about 6 years but it's actually a really good game, one of my favourites in fact and definite favourite out of the 3.

I have Crysis 2 so I understand how fun the game can be (and how visually beautiful it is), but the other three aren't titles I find very enjoyable so I voted for the pack that has other good games as well. :) Unless one pack has one super awesome game at an amazing deal, then I'll vote for that. :P

Mkay, I just need a 1€ discount on ANY of the games on my wishlist to completely clear it. So, if Valdis Story, Enslaved, Ascendant or A Wizards Lizard go on sale I'm golden. Make it happen, oh mighty GabeN!

The Zombie pack won by just a little. I'm actually surprised. :o

Hmm, I'm curious what we'll see on the last day. Also, am I the only one who can't vote for the community choice anymore?

Nope, the same for me. I'm assuming that was the last community package? If not, I hope it is up soon...

Seems like it. Maybe they'll just put the most popular games on sale again as a pseudo "community" choice.

wtf no more community vote? I need 1 more to get my card dammit......

 

 

The last day of the Steam sale is usually "encore day", so expect repeats of popular games. IMO, this summer sale has been lackluster, at least compared to previous ones.

The same with me. I reached level eight and the last vote is my third vote.

 

"This really bites," as Stinky would say.

In the FAQ, it says there will be 29 community votes. So if you voted every single time, you would end up with 2 extra votes.

I think have made my final purchases today. Orcs Must Die! Franchise Pack, Garry's Mod, Organ Trail: Director's Cut, State of Decay + DLC

 

and a bunch of sub $1 stuff to get rid of the change left in my Steam Wallet. Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds Survivor, Ghost Master, Legendary, Roogoo, Hydrophobia: Prophecy.
