Holy hell, it seems the Internet has overloaded Steam. I know some people have been preparing for this in advance, to get good deals, but I did not expect them to take the entire service down on the first day.

Haha, I was wondering why I was having problems connecting to Steam. Can't wait to see what's on it this year, I got some amazing bargains on the last one.

Yeah, I'm waiting for the free deals to arrive.

XD.

Yeah, lucky for me, I already have it on my mac.

Actually, Pyromania update was WAAY slower.

Stuff was at like 150KB a second.

Waiting for something I actually want to go on sale.

We're (let me tell you - sharing a Steam account with husband can be a real pain in the behind...) gonna get the id bundle and plain ol' Half-Life. And I'll be stalking Steam all the time until I find something I just can't resist.

Grab L4D2 and Portal 2.

Both awesome games for EXTREMELY low prices now it seems.

If I was aware you wanted it, I would of given it to you. I've had a gift copy I've just been trying to get rid of for a while.

Corrected. And if you dont have L4D1... Wait, wait. Just get L4D2, i heard they are releasing all of the L4D1 maps as DLC on L4D2 anyway.

That's so sweet, AKB. I haven't bought it yet, though, I'll probably only get around to it by like tomorrow evening.

Unfortunately, I've given it away recently, just to remove it from my inventory. I'm sorry :(

Something special, and fortunate, at how my birthday lands in the middle of the summer sale.

Fortunate, indeed. <_<

You're a lucky one, Kestral. We didn't know about the summer sale (heck, up to last year we wouldn't have been able to make use of it anyway, this is the first time we're not limited to downloading - wait for it - 2GB a month!) and so we didn't budget for it... It's screwing up our budget royally, but I'm buying enough games to keep me busy until the next summer sale.

My friend spent $100 dollars on the summer sale in one day yesterday. This thing destroys the wallets of those whose lack inhibition.

Wow! A hundred dollars dollars? That's insane!

I've spent *does a quick calculation* $40 so far, and I'm nowhere near done. But I did give a solemn promise that there will be no more game-buying until next year's sale. Except for big, shiny releases.

150 Euros here.

Wow, I envy you guys. I've dropped $11.23 so far haha. I really can't afford to spend a lot of money on games just because they are discounted, so I limited myself. I put $25 in my steam wallet, and will make do with that. If a game that I really want comes on sale, or if there's a decent one for like $2, then I get it, but otherwise I'm not just spending money.

The Steam Summer Sale has arrived have a nice day..

I dropped 13,73€
I bought Civ 5 and Red Orchestra 2.

Civ V was cheaper if you got it earlier. >.>

Meh.
