Steam Holiday Sale 2011:
Well its that time of the year again, time to stitch shut your wallets anus for the absolute rape-train Steam is sending its way!
Duration:
This sale looks to be going from December 19th to January 1st, or in FUTURE LAND (Australia) Thats December 20 to January 2nd.
Tips:
The tickover for new daily deals seems to be 4am AEDT, so if you are a night owl, thats how hardcore you must be to wait for the new bargains to tick over!

There will be items that are on sale the whole duration, and then there will be Daily Deals, and on the last day, there will be a "Best Of" Daily Deals where the most popular games from the previous Daily Deals will be back up for round 2.

The way to get the most out of the Steam sale is to not buy ANYTHING but Daily Deals until the last day when you know the game you want is not going to be a daily deal and is just going to be whatever price it has been for the duration. The reason for this is you'll see say GRID for example as 25% of now, but later on it might be a daily deal and be 80% off. Items on sale already i go more on special for a Daily Deal, so be patient if you want to get the best price possible, and if you are new to Steam sales, you will be surprised by how cheap some shit gets!
I want more coal! I need 3 more! :'(

We used to play that game with a few members here but it got old very quickly, it is pretty average. I don't think that there's that many people playing these days as well.

It's pretty much a repetitive Survival game, like Left 4 Dead's Survival mode over and over again. My brother still plays it.

would steam discount the X-com games past $2.50 each?
Stupid steam, Im buying too many games :P
Sonic Generations (love)
Tempted by worms but then I'd need friends to play it with :(

same.. think i have spent over $100 [WTF]
Worms Reloaded was a huge letdown. It's a gigantic step backwards compared to World Party or even Worms 2.
i've had reloaded for so long, it's not so bad. good fun and games when you're one-v-one with someone over voice chat too.

why do none of these daily deals interest me? gahhhh [Rage]

i'm pretty sure reloaded is just 1v1, not sure about the new one though
A couple interest me this time around, Maybe worms but not the full pack im too cheap for that :P

Bulletstorm ive heard good reviews about and its a co-op as well.

Maybe the new red faction? Anybody know if its any good only 7 dorra or close enough.

And would Test Drive Unlimited be an able replacement for GRID?
TDU is apparently shit. Worms is alright I play that with Chaz sometimes. Bulletstorm is pretty expensive still...

Tdu isn't bad, but the voice work is hideous and the driving isn't quite as smooth as some games.

TDU is a baaaaaaaad excuse for a racing game.
Cars handle like...... nothing on this Earth.
Yeah as a racing sim its shocking but as a game it can still be pretty fun, from what I have played. In terms of racing as a group though, normally it is fun regardless of how accurate the game is. :)
Only thing I bought today is Bastion.

On the steam page Reloaded says up to 4 players. Could be promising.
It's a damn good game. Can have multiple teams (4 or so) at once.

Was just about to ask about that game, might save my 6 bucks then. I think I've already grabbed enough games this sale to keep me busy for a long time.
Just got worms reloaded and got the Achievement ^_^

Then played a couple of games with some of the guys, This game is hilarious and fun. FUTURE GAME NIGHT 'FO SURE [MOG]
oooooooo worms with online play makes me want to buy it =)
so i did [MOG]
Solar 2 and Sequence. [Derp]
Nothing for me today, I think.

What are these games?
I'm tempted to get KOTOR cause I've never played it, but the $5 I left myself to spend on Steam could mean something awesome on the final day...
