Whether you love or hate Steam*, there is no doubt that some of the
sales offered on that platform are jaw-droppingly good. And when the
Steam Summer Sale rolls around, well, it's hard not to go nuts.

On the plus side, I already own a lot of the big-ticket games so I
don't need to purchase those. But all those smaller games that were on
my "maybe" list are jumping to the "hell, why not" list today.

Steam is currently plagued with more traffic than they can handle;
apparently everybody (myself included) started hammering the site the
MOMENT the sale started. Still, I managed to get a few purchases in,
including

Hotline Miami
Anna
Hard Reset
Postal 2
The Cave
Display Fusion

I also gifted a copy of "The Walking Dead" to a friend, just to share
the joy.

That knocked my wishlist down to about half its size ;-)

Hopefully Metro Last Light will be drastically reduced in price soon.
That's the one I'm really waiting for.


* I'm in the latter camp, in case you are wondering

One of the reasons I thought there might not be a Summer sale this year
was that didn't have any sort of contest during the last Christmas sale.
I figured that plus the all the daily and weekly sales meant that they
were pulling back from the big seasonal sales.

It seems in reality though the reason why they didn't have a contest
during the last big sale was that they were busy working on something
much more complicated.  Cards, drops, crafting, trading, market place,
I think I've got it mostly figured out.  I think...

Oh man, you're gonna be annoyed.  Be sure to pay a low price for it.

The quicktime events keep yanking control away from you, not
occasionally but frequently.  You can't really play the game because
the game is designed to play you.
