Steam summer sale is up!

Quote from DaddioDan : I've spent wayyy more during previous sales.

Ironically, this is probably the most I have spent during any sale in the past. Hoping for a ~$20 Max Payne 3 during the Winter sale. That is the only game I was disappointed in, price-wise.

Quote from GreggerG : Fallout 3 GOTY - $4.99 (own this on 360 already but I want the MODS!!!) Toy Soldiers - $2.49 Orcs Must Die! - $3.74 I think I controlled my impulses pretty well this time. I'm proud to say that not once did I look at a product page without realizing that I already own the damn game but just had never installed/played it. I think that has happened to me every previous sale.

damnit, i didnt even realize toy soldiers was listed. bah, i totally would've snagged it for a couple bucks even though cold war was the one i had my eye on.

Whoa, I just realized something awesome about Steam. If you go to your profile page through steampowered.com and look at your games, you can download your game onto whatever computer your Steam client is currently running on. So I can choose to download a game at work, and it will be ready to play on my gaming computer at home when I get there. That's pretty neato. Don't flame me if I'm late to the party lol.

I piled some more on the backlog >______<

Legend of Grimrock -- Played some
Saints Row 3
Payday
Football Manager 2012 -- Played some
Binding of Issac DLC
Dragon Age Expansion
Thief Gold
Thief II
E.Y.E
Krater -- Played some

Grimrock is pretty good. The learning curve is steep and there isn't much in the way of tutorial to help you understand the combat system. But they definitely got the old-school feel they were going for.

FM12 is 500 times more complex than I ever imagined. I like soccer and follow it pretty closely, but the amount of detail leads to paralysis by options. Seems like there should be multiple "depth" levels to ease you into it a bit. May be interesting if I can ever learn enough to play.

Krater is good. It's a squad based action RPG, and it's clearly early in its dev/release cycle. You have to edit config files to tweak the graphics options to get it playable on a non-beast machine. Once you get past that, the game concept is fun. The combat feels kind of like playing LoL, but you control 3 heroes and the ability system is not as complex. It's kind of a mashup of Fallout, LoL and Torchlight.

I don't remember reading anything about Krater or seeing it on sale
Sounds interesting, I'm looking at it now.
I thought pretty hard about Grimrock, but the reviews ultimately dissuaded me.

Dang, the Steam Calculator says my collection is work $1,135. Naturally I haven't spent close to that, since I've never bought anything that wasn't heavily discounted.

Something is only worth what you could sell it for. Your collection = $0.

Although, I am sure it is against ToS, but you could probably list your games and sell your credentials/account on ebay?

Quote from Curtieson : Although, I am sure it is against ToS, but you could probably list your games and sell your credentials/account on ebay?

People used to do this. I know that you could get something like $50 - $100 just for a Steam account with 4 or 5 digits. So that also seems to play a factor in how much your account sells for.

It's worth more than an autographed baseball
