Needless to say, I'm very happy. Steam Sale be damned, THIS is my Summer. That said, they nicked the side of my GO2 case. I am not pleased. Not pleased at all.

Huh? That time I made sure to reach exactly to the forum's limits (ie just before side-scrolling is a thing).

It's your guys' faults for using anything other than Dawn of Champions! Heck, even styles of similar width would work.

Pokestick, good times.

Yaaaaaas.

Dammit, I've bought five console games this week already. I knew this was happening too, but when it happens it hits hard.

Any good deals on interesting games yet? Only thing I've seen so far would be Valkyria Chronicles.

Huh, you want recs? Gimme a sec, lemme see what's on sale today...

So far, other than Valk Chron: Tales from the Borderlands (which I have yet to play, but want), Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, Papers Please, Mirror's Edge (possibly, could be and has been cheaper), and XCOM (NOT THE BUREAU) are standout daily/flash titles.

Pokestick, good times.

I think you guys might be interested in this as well, as I've survived many a Steam sale and lived to tell the tale:
Spoiler:
As I do every major Steam Sale, here, again, are my tips on getting the most out of the sale.

Now before you go off to buy all those games you never got to, here are some things that you should consider:
  • Keep a careful watch of the Flash Sale and the Monster Sale. The Flash Sales last 12 hours and show deals for 15 games. Then, of course, there are the Daily Sales, which last for 48 hours.
  • Don't jump to buy a game that is part of the sale simply because it's on Sale. The Flash Sale and the Monster Deals may yield a better discount than a standard Steam Sale discount. Patience can be your greatest tool when looking for the best deal. Watch for Daily Deals, of course, but Flash Deals and Monster Deals (possibly) should take precedence, as they often yield the best discounts the sale has to offer.

  • While the Steam Sale is nice, it may also be smart to look to other sites for better deals. GreenmanGaming, Gamers Gate, Nuuvem, G2A, and Getgames are just a few examples that always have incredible deals, so don't limit yourself. In fact, these sites often have competitive discounts specifically because Steam is having their annual sale, so they are certainly worth checking out. Having said that, keep the previous tip in mind.

  • Put games on your wishlist. If there's a game you really want and you don't want to have to keep looking at the Steam Sale for a better deal, put the game on your wishlist so that you will get e-mails about deals for games on your wishlist. If you want a more immediate and versatile means of getting deals, isthereanydeal.com allows you to import your Steam Wishlist (or just search for games) and have deals from a plethora of trusted sites and Steam emailed to you. What's more, you can check the deal price against the lowest the price for that specific game has ever gone, letting you know if you're getting a good deal. The site is highly recommended.

As this is the first day, how things will pan out is unclear, but for now this is still a valid guideline if you really want to save money this Summer Sale, and remember, if you see a tantalizing standard deal:

That's actually why sales like this are dangerous for me. I don't really like specific genres so much as there being very few genres I don't like. Veeery few. Maybe, like, one or two.

Some entice me more them others, but I look more for what a game does than what a game is. Which is a problem, because that means there are a boatload of games that interest me and never enough money to get them all. Worse, I've mostly stopped pirating, so it can hurt.

Got 779 games here, though the growth rate has slowed exponentially, recently. Mainly because I've taken a different personal stance on owning games.

I don't particularly expect to buy much this sale, but I do expect to see some good deals.

Lolno. I play on a desire basis, but since it's basically a library I sometimes just pick out titles I'm curious about.

This said, the ones that I play the most are always the ones I specifically wanted beforehand. Games like Long Live the Queen, Half-Minute Hero, Hyperdimension Neptunia, Spelunky, The Stanley Parable- all of which I highly recommend, those have a lot of time put into them.

Ones I wanted just for the sake of having them don't, same for bundle buys that I didn't particularly care for. Kinda why I buy less games nowadays: to limit what I have and buy mainly only what I want to play rather than what I want in a broader sense.

Well that's a big question. Delving into a game I don't know much about takes motivation and interest, and since I have so many it's not really a matter of simply giving them chances.

It's like...simply owning a game isn't motivation enough for me to want to play it. For me to want to play it, it has to impress me in various ways. This all sounds...snooty, really, but it's basically like being in an actual library and picking out a random book. Books and Games generally can't have a full opinion formed of them until they're delved into to some extent, unlike shows and movies where you can judge its worth relatively early on. Also different, in the case of the latter, you're making an effort to do so, while in the case of the former you can just sit down and watch.

And that's really the thing, the idea of "effort" impacts "motivation" in the face of the unknown, and if the presentation of the game/book isn't that great, motivation will ultimately be low. Similarly, Low motivation can impact judgement, which is never good. In such a scenario, even gems and masterpieces can be deemed muk, ultimately.

So...short answer, sometimes. If I'm bored enough and just randomly look through for something that sounds interesting. It's not often, but it's always there so there's no real need to do it constantly.

I tend to give most games in my library a chance

There's plenty I replay (Prototype, Jedi Outcast/Academy, Half-Life, New Vegas)
And then there's those that just don't work (GTA IV/Episodes, Hydrophobia)
And those I have no idea how to play (Magica, Tropico, etc)

Pokestick, good times.

Did some checking.

I have a Steam library of 118 games.
30 of them are currently installed.

44 have play time on record.
27 of those have more than two hours of playtime.
11 have more than ten hours.
6 have more than twenty.

Then the two most played make quite the spike.
Spoiler:

I guess I like that genre.

Anyway, it's clear to see that I won't play much of a PC game unless it's with friends. The only single player game out of those six is Dragon Age.
