I'd like to point out that Monaco is on sale on the Developers site/humble store for $7.44
which is a little cheaper than the current steam price. (in the UK at least)
And it includes a DRM-FREE copy (minus online multiplayer) and a Steam Key.
(But obviously getting it from the dev's site doesn't give you a summer sale card! XD)
I'm at around £60 as well, but that will go up by at least £10 with Prison Architect. Just waiting to see if anything else I want pops up in the next hour and a half.
Mine could go up a fair amount as the sales end and all of those games that were on Sale but not a Daily deal...
I can safely say I'm probably going to get Rogue Legacy and Prison Architect and maybe a few other things...
Just Cause is 96% off right now. It's so cheap that it looks like a pricing mistake, but it's had that price for over an hour now, so I think it's actually intentional.
Also, take note that that price is specifically for the first Just Cause, not its sequel.
Probably too niche. Most of the encores are AAA titles and the rest are extremely well known. Might be a small chance of it turning up as a flash sale though.

Personally, I'd wait for the last Flash sale, but I really do doubt it'll go any cheaper, so go for it if you want.
Question of my own: Are the two new character classes for Borderlands 2 (Mechromancer and Psycho) worth getting? I've no idea how they really play, so would appreciate some advice.
I'd say yes, with a big, HUGE asterisk. The asterisk being that this is a big game, and the game sadly does not give you the option to roll up a character at level 30 once you've beaten the game once. So if you want them, get them now before you get too far into the game.
How do these two characters actually play? And is there anything stopping me starting a new game as them without losing my other games with one of the original 4?
Cool. I thought that was the case with the first game, but I couldn't remember. Memory like a sieve.
Again though - how do they play? Is the Psycho a mostly melee character, and does the Mechromancer tend to rely on summons? 'cause that's what the basic page descriptions seem to give me.

The Pycho works on taking high damge and a very risky but OP character about using his axe, explosions and has abilities that make him want to take damge to be powerful
The Mechromancer is very skilled has anarchy stack tree which is really high damage and has Deathtrap which is so much better than the commando and is always reliable
I'd say they are the best characters in the game and the Mechromancer renders the commando useless as does the Psycho render the Gunzerker weak
Enjoyable and powerful characters
I bought the rest of the stuff I really wanted or was ridiculously cheap off my wishlist now, since I'll be travelling tomorrow and don't know if I get much chance to buy stuff then. Seriously doubt more of that stuff will go on sale anyway.
Here's what I've bought during the sales:
Scribblenauts Unlimited: 4.74 EUR
The Mawesome Pack: 2.99 EUR
Your Doodles Are Bugged!: 0.87 EUR
Surgeon Simulator: 3.39 EUR
Penny Arcade’s On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 4: 2.49 EUR

Fallout New Vegas Ultimate: 4.99 EUR
Trine Complete: 4.29 EUR (for my wife)
Organ Trail: Director’s Cut: 0.99 EUR
Assassin’s Creed: 2.49 EUR
Assassin’s Creed II: Deluxe Edition: 2.49 EUR
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Standard Edition: 1.79 EUR
Bully: Scholarship Edition: 2.49 EUR
Monaco: 5.45 EUR
Just Cause: 0.27 EUR
Safecracker: 2.49 EUR
Gateways: 1.99 EUR
Kairo: 1.99 EUR
Hamlet or the last game without MMORPG features: 2.49 EUR
Stealth Bastard Deluxe - The Teleporter Chambers: 1.24 EUR
Fly’N: 1.74 EUR
Should make the total 54.75 Euro and I’m done buying now unless Kentucky Route Zero turns up as a flash sale or community choice.
In addition to that someone gifted me Sleeping Dogs for posting the sales on the Double Fine forums. Overall I'm very happy with what I got out of the summer sale.
Just one big decision for me to make - do I get Kerbal Space Program. I don't usually spend more than £10 per item during a Steam sale but so far I've broken that twice already (though one was the Tomb Raider collection so that's 10 games there) and it is something I would like. But I could wait until the Christmas sale and maybe get it for over 50% off or something.
I guess it comes down to the question of will I play it now or just let it collect cyber dust for 6 months.

I want at least the $23 copy of Prison Architect.
Now I just have to decide if naming a prisoner and writing their bio is worth $10 to me.
Ys series: $16.97
Deus Ex DLC: $1.62
Scribblenauts: $4.99
Prison Architect: $32.99(Name-In-Game edition)
Total: $56.57
58% of my spending was toward Prison Architect.
It gets easier once you already own all games like me.
And I still have some stuff to get...
I can safely say I'm probably going to get Rogue Legacy and Prison Architect and maybe a few other things...
Also, take note that that price is specifically for the first Just Cause, not its sequel.
40 cents cheaper than what I paid at Greenman. XD
