    All right then. Dunno where I thought that then.
    The FIRST one has been 75%. Maybe you're just getting the two confused.

    Yeah that's what I'm guessing.

    Thanks for covering these. I know I kind of went from doing most of them to doing none with the operation and all. Doing better now, just dealing with the pain and such that comes with recovery.

    Don't worry about it mate. It's not like anyone's forcing you to do them...

    GTA Franchise 75% off
    The Overpriced Spiderman 50% off
    To The Moon 66% off (Recommended!)
  • edited January 2013
    I agree, get To The Moon. The bundle with the soundtrack for less than $5 is especially worthwhile

    Flash Get-Back-On-That-Horse Sales

    Little Inferno 50% off
    Rocksmith 50% off
    Guns Of Icarus Online 66% off

    While I do not recall all of these being previous sales(means nothing, I've been out of it), they're pretty crappy ones.

    I don't think any of them has been a deal yet, but Little Inferno lost the community choice to the Orcs Must Die franchise about a week ago. Is it really that crappy or is it just not much of a game per se?
  • edited January 2013
    I haven't played it. 50% off isn't really enough for me to try it either. It just doesn't look that interesting.

    You burn stuff in an oven to grind for money that lets you burn more stuff and try to find combinations.
    I personally love burning stuff and since I no longer have an oven this was really relaxing to me. I enjoyed it a lot but I don't thing this game is for everyone.

    So it's basically a variation of games like Alchemy only with a bit of story and burning things? I think that sounds promising. I do have an oven but I usually only throw logs in it too avoid getting too much soot and ashes. And while it's good for keeping my home warm, it really doesn't provide too much entertainment and I can't operate it from the couch.

    Here's about 10 minutes of gameplay. Should give you a good idea.

    OK, who was it who wanted the Bond games to go on sale? Well... too late, it seems, as the Bond games have been removed from Steam and other digital distribution sources.

    Today may be the last of the daily deals, but this weekend, there will be two full days of encore daily deals.
  • edited January 2013
    Weren't the last ones encores anyway?
  • edited January 2013
    Most of them are by this point.

    Oh well, let's see what Steam considers "the most sought after" titles.
  • edited January 2013
    Probably... I dunno, the top 12 sellers across all the daily deals.

    I think ARMA II CO and Skyrim will be in there. Those are just constantly selling very well.

    Ugh. One last set of flash deals remaining, and one last chance to see Primordia pop up as something other than a Community Choice candidate nobody voted for.
  • edited January 2013
    Fingers are crossed.

  • edited January 2013
    Well, then that's a very misleading title.
  • edited January 2013
    I find it odd that the titles that sold the best - ie: the ones that people have already bought and therefore won't want to buy again - are the ones being repeated. Hey ho.

    The first daily deal after the holiday sales:

    header_292x136.jpg

    €2,49 / $2.49 / £1.74

    I think it looks like an interesting puzzler with a charming art style, but it's only got a metascore of 65/100, so I don't know.

    The soundtrack edition is also on sale for €2,99 / $2.99 / £1.99.

    Somehow we skipped the daily deal yesterday, which was Postal 2 Complete. Pretty sure that was one of the first deals in the X-Mas sale though, so I doubt it was particularly missed.

    Also, there's the Midweek Madness:

    spotlight_image_english.jpg and spotlight_image_english.png

    God, I've missed doing those.

    Oh, and The Journey Down is on Steam now. Huzzah!
  • edited January 2013
    By the way, Spec Ops is the same price on Amazon, and if you got a $5 credit from buying a Christmas sale game, you can get it for $2.50.

    And if you already got it elsewhere you will get a Steam key according to the developer:

    A lot of us probably got it from last years Indie Royale Summer Bundle.
