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!

When it gets you free stuff, yes. [MOG]

But don't call it cheating! Call it gaming the system. ;)
i bought that 2D minecraft game. terraria.. should have bought it when it was $2 but meh :P
Oh man forgot what a blast Audiosurf is. I did the Candy Stripe achievement using Brand New's Archers as the background music. Badass.
greenman gaming are selling saints row the third for $19.95 if you use their 50% code on their page.. pretty great [Derp]

never heard of these guys before, sounds like a great deal though, anyone used them before? whats the deal with them?

edit: decided to take the punt, seems legit, downloading to steam now
Man I thought I'd really be stocking up on games this year but a lot of games that have gone sale are games I'm not interested in or I already have them. Still I'm pretty happy I finally got Portal 2 and it only set me back 7 bucks.
I got Jagged Alliance 2: Gold and Jagged Alliance 2 Gold: Unfinished business if anyone wants to trade me for that, don't care what for, I just don't want the game.
Decided to grab E.Y.E Devine Cybermancy, I know nothing about the game but for under 3 bucks it doesn't hurt to try it out. Plus I just wanted to get ":something" today :P
