Do it Yarr. Mass Effect 1 is great. I have had the collector's edition of 2 since it came out but haven't had time to play it yet, but I have heard nothing but good things about it.

In that situation (and for that price) I just buy it for them, then they feel bad that you wasted your money and feel compelled to at least try it. :P

I was playing RPG/MINECRAFT/sidescrollers before they where cool. and ridere didn't tell me about the price until it went back up to 5 dollars.

Remember, now is the time to buy anything you were eyeing up but never became a daily deal. Now is also the time to blitz any easy achievements on the summer camp list for more chances to win free games.

Now it's the very last day, I made a list of all the games on their achievement list I already own and I'm blitzing the summer camp achievements. Most of them can be earned in a couple of minutes if you know how. A quick google search will usually bring up a video of someone doing it in like 30 seconds or something.

I'm up to 14 tickets so far. And I reckon I can get about 20 before I go to bed, lol.

EDIT: 3 tickets = some free DLC for a game you might have. Worth getting a few considering most of them are nice and easy. Also each ticket gives you a better chance of winning the grand prize (the top 10 games on your wishlist)

Ok I stopped at 18 tickets, its late and I got work tomorrow lol.

Final Steam Sale Wallet Damage: (To get this and paste an easy list of what you bought, click the "My Account" link in the top-right corner of the Steam window -- the stuff at the top is what I redeemed with my prize tickets)

Summer Sale Prize - Magicka DLC
Summer Sale Prize - Alien Breed 2
Summer Sale Prize - Beat Hazard DLC
Summer Sale Prize - Team Fortress 2 Item
Summer Sale Prize - Defense Grid DLC
Summer Sale Prize - AI War: Fleet Command DLC
Prince of Persia Complete Pack
Fallout 3 - Game of the Year
Beat Hazard Complete
Transformers: War for Cybertron
Plants vs. Zombies
Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale
Oblivion Game of the Year
BIT.TRIP.RUNNER

I wish I had got Transformers. Other than that Im pretty cool with Just torchlight. quality over quantity i guess.

I ended up getting Just Cause 2. That was the only one. Easily got my 5 bucks worth just yanking people out of vehicles with my grappling hook. haha.

I only got 6 tickets. would be funny if i won that top 10 games on wish list thing. (that game you guys play is on the list lol)

I know nothing about tickets. haha

_________________

Each day Steam was also posting a list of random (usually summer related) achievements from random games. If you earned (or already had) any of those achievements, you got a golden ticket (charlie and the chocolate factory style).

Every 3 tickets you got allowed you to choose a piece of DLC (out of a pre-determined selection) for a game completely free. Nothing too major but there were a few nifty things, there was some stuff like TF2 glasses, Portal 2 snorkels, map packs for defense grid, some magicka DLC, the first AI War expansion, and there was even a free game on there (Alien Breed 2).

Considering many of the achievements were rediculously easy to get (some only took like a few seconds in a game, others you got just for posting a screenshot on steam or commenting on somebody elses profile) and you also earned them retroactively if it was something you'd already done before in the past, it was possible to get your first 3 or so tickets without even doing anything.

On the last day I ran around doing the "quick and easy" achievements for the games I already owned. Most of them got in a couple of minutes or so. Ended up with 18 tickets, got 6 pieces of free DLC.

Additionally, each ticket you earned (regardless of whether you spent it or not) gave you an extra entry (kinda like having an extra raffle ticket) for their grand prize draw. The grand prize was 100 people to win the top 10 games from their Steam wishlist. I dunno if they've announced winners for this yet. Chances of winning are ludicrously low, sure, but hey at least you got free DLC out of it.

I guess I really should have posted about this in this thread, but it was already being a huge handful each day just trying to post all the daily deal prices, without having to worry about posting lists and solutions to achievements each day.

no tickets here.

bought 16 games though lol. total wallet damage was $71.50

Purchased:
Assassin's Creed pack (1 2 and brotherhood)
Prince of persia complete pack (5 games)
Mass effect 1 and 2
Mafia 1 and 2
Tropico 3 Gold Edition
Just Cause 2
Magicka complete pack
VVVVVV

I bought the ultimate GOTY package of Oblivion yesterday for $18 on Steam. It comes with 9 DLCs. It seems like a cool game so far. I can't believe I never played it. Also i'm playing with keyboard and mouse! I'm going to teach myself to play PC games without controller. Moving up in the world.

I am gearing up for Skyrim which I want to play on PC. Console games look like shit after playing stuff on the PC lately.

Good for you Kluya, mouse and keyboard is the way to go :P I'd have to get used to that for some games since I've been getting them mostly for 360 or PS3 to share with people.
