Think Enemy within is going to get more then the ten bucks off? I missed it when Gamefly had it for sixteen, not sure if steam is going to go that low.
BTW Batman Origins is good if you enjoyed the previous two. It is probably the weakest of the three but not by a huge margin. Worth the price imo.

I'd say the opposite re: Batman Origins. Wait for the GOTY (lolno) version to come out and get discounted to 7 or 8 bucks.
Whoa there. You're talking about breaking the first rule of Steam sales.
Steam sales are so shit now with a fuckton of indies that were already so cheap. If someone doesn't buy something to play at < $10, why would they play it when it costs $5. I know there's probably some internal numbers to prove me wrong somewhere, but fuck I'm sick of seeing a bunch of indies.

I don't know about that. that kind of thing has gotten me more then a few times.
I was just looking at my steamlist a day or so ago, and wondering when the hell I bought dishonored, brutal legend, and like 3 others. No way I bought them for 10 or more. it had to have been 5 or under, and just bought for the hell of it.
If aarklash is under 5 I would buy it, even if I dont think I will ever have the time for it.
Have to disagree here too. No way am I paying $10 for Monaco but $2.50 will get me, same for things like Hotline Miami and it's ilk. If it's an indie game I'm never paying full price even if that price is $10 or so.
Most indies cost about $15. They get discounted to under $5 in most cases. $10+ saved is a big deal. Speaking of indies...if you guys haven't played Trine 1&2 yet, you need to. Definitely one of the best platformers of all time.

Humble Bundles are what get me indies. I've snagged most of the top ones through that than Steam. This sale, I've got a couple games that I'm targeting (State of Decay for one) and we'll see what else brings. One thing that is different than in the past is Steam used to do bundles (like the Bethesda bundle or Star Wars bundle, etc) but they've backed away from that recently. I'm all for getting stuff in bundles, more for less I say. The trading card thing is ok, but nothing beats the coal/achievement promotion that was done a few years ago. It's too bad it was exploited, it probably was one of their more successful sales.
Yeah, Humble is certainly where I get nearly all the indie crap on my account...usually buy for only one or 2 things and end up with the rest for the hell of it

Saw Amazon had the Bioshock bundle for $15 again. So does Steam though.
Scrolling through the games I saw a game Seduce Me. Wtf? This one looks like a knock off leisure suit Larry, but then Amazon gives you what others looked at that also looked at that game and here are dozens of sex games, rape games, double Wtf?!?!
I guess it shouldn't surprise me but it did. Just wow!

Judging by past sales, the fact that it lost the vote is irrelevant. It'll almost certainly show up in another vote, as a daily deal, or as a flash deal. It's been rare that a game that loses a vote doesn't show up at the higher discount later. As with every Steam sale, unless it's a daily, flash, or community vote, hold off until the last day to purchase just in case it does get featured.
