Also, don't buy it today. That game has been a big seller, I'd be entirely unsurprised if if it was a daily or flash deal.
That stinks. Oh well, Steam it is.
And the way I treat Steam Sales is...only buy daily/flash deals until the very last day. Then, buy everything else on sale that never was a daily/flash deal.
Oh its now called "badges" and can be found in your steam community page. I hope there are prizes, guess its hard to tell since the majority of the badges are "vote once, vote 5 times, etc" and you've only had one chance to vote(there only has been one snapshot deal so far right?)
They are on your profile page. They even log past steam sales. Doesn't look like they matter, I just got "pillar of the community" badge and earned nothing.

Oh yeah, I see 'em now. Weird how I didn't earlier.
Let's see:
Adventures:
The Runaway games are classics. If you haven't played them you should.
The Next Big Thing is nice. Really nice but has a puzzle in it that made me want to kill the developers. Still recommenbded!
Yesterday: I adore this game. It's short (took about 5 hours) but the story is so gooooood. A more serious take on adventure games but really worth playing.
Sherlock Holmes vs JTR: No clue. Haven't played it yet.
The rest: I haven't played any of these but they aren't really known for their quality.
You can get the good adventure games from this pack in the pendulo adventure pack. Just save yourself money and frustration by getting that one.
I did pick up The Dream Machine, since thats 50% off.
(It might get bundled or reduced further, but to be honest, I probably would already have the other games, and I think £6 is a great price for it all)
I played the demo for that before, and really liked it. So I think I might catch up on that one at some point.
Through all the buzz of The Source Filmmaker going open beta and the Steam Summer Sale, it seems a very interesting annoucment has been overshadowed. Y'know how people complain when a bad game gets on Steam but it takes alot longer for a good game to? Well, introduing Steam Greenlight. Which is basically a Steam Workshop for game developers. This is a cool idea, because now we get to pick and choose games that we want to see on Steam and games we don't. I'm interested to see how/what developers do with it.
Because I want to get Trine 2.
(I have the other games, and Trine looks lonely by itself! XD)
Amen to that. We will know in 30 minuits.
Edit: The Flash Sales haven't been updated on the front page but the prices were changed already. Darksiders for 75% off (5€)
And 66% off of everything Spellforce.
Edit2: I just bought Darksiders and I hope THQ will die choking on a donkey dick if I cannot install it in English.
Edit3: I can install it so they are save for now. Let's see if I can play it after installing in English first.
Anno 2070 - 50% off From Dust - 75% off Indie Bundle II (Botanicula, E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy, Oil Rush, Splice and Universe Sandbox) - 75% off Max Payne 3 - 50% off Payday: The Heist - 75% off Sonic Generations - 66% off The Binding of Isaac (plus Wrath of the Lamb and the OST) - 75% off Tribes Ascend (starter pack) - 75% off Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - 75% off
Yesterday's deals are still up, but not for long, so if you still want them, grab 'em quick.
Also, new Flash (A-AAHHH) Deals. Worms Reloaded (75% off) and the Tomb Raider/Lara Croft series (also 75%).
Interested in Payday: The Heist and/or that Tribes: Ascend starter pack.
Any recommendations on either?
EDIT: I wonder how valuable a Strange Rocket Launcher is.
(One person said 3 keys. But I do not even know how valuable a key is (is that like £2 or something?))
I wonder if I could trade it for one of those games to save me some dosh.
Hmmmm....
EDIT 2: Doesn't look like it. ;/
EDIT 3: Oh well, decided to post a trade ad on there anyway:
Offers are open to you guys (though I'll be honest I have no idea what I am doing! XD)
So I have some items I don't really care for.
And I want to get some sale stuff.
- Payday: The Heist
- Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition
- Space Marine
So I'm going to list them, and if anyone wants to make me an offer for any then go ahead.

4 and none of them has run out yet.
None to vote on though right? I didn't miss any of the votes(so I can get those points for the badges)
They are on your profile page. They even log past steam sales. Doesn't look like they matter, I just got "pillar of the community" badge and earned nothing.
You are fine on votes.
Yay. The badges appear to do nothing though, but that is nice to know.
I just want Payday or Lego Batman 2 to go on sale right now.
Its one of the very few I don't own most of the games for.
Anyone play their games? Worthwhile?

I think I might leave it for a chirstmas sale.

Saints Row³ with 36% of the votes. Nextz round starts in 30 minutes. Great. I wanted to go to bed now...
EDIT: Next three are Limbo, Magicka and Trine 2.
I bet that most of the people that voted on that already owned the game and were hoping for steep DLC discounts...which didn't happen.
Dang, I would buy the game but for the fact that I'm really trying to save money right now.
Warlock Master of the Arcane: 66% off
BTTF: The Game: 75% off (still over 5€, still no buy)
The Force Unleashed 2 75% off
Also on the Community DEal being right now. I wqould have gotten SR³ for that price but I will not because: I'm going back to bed now.
I know I am. But at least it would be a steam copy which makes me want to pay up to 4,99€ more.
Because I want to get Trine 2.
(I have the other games, and Trine looks lonely by itself! XD)
Amen to that. We will know in 30 minuits.

Darksiders for 75% off (5€)
And
