Steam Holiday Sale: December 24, 2013
Okay, I’m a little late with today’s Steam Sale info which might be troublesome for strategy gamers because you’re the biggest beneficiaries of the active flash sales. There are some recent releases available during the active daily deals should you be interested in those.
By the way, has anyone else ever noticed how terrible the Call of Duty sales always seem to be? You’d think they’d practically be giving away the older versions. Nope. Just 25% off. I think Activision is happy just taking money from the console folk.

Steam Holiday Sale: December 23, 2013
We’ve reached the fifth day of the Steam Holiday Sale and I think I may call today The Day of Many Regrets. There are a lot of games on sale today that I bought for more than what I would have today.
For example, I bought Borderlands 2 and the Season Pass for about $25. Today, Borderlands 2 GOTY Edition is only $15. Amnesia: The Dark Decent is on for 80% off instead of the 75% off I bought it at. I’m pretty sure I would have saved an extra 25% on Dead Space 2. Add in yesterday’s deals that I overpaid on including Antichamber, Rogue Legacy, Max Payne 3 and Tomb Raider and you can see why I would call this a day of regrets.
You won’t regret getting them. You just regret buying them too soon. Damn Steam and their fantastic sales!

Steam Holiday Sale: December 22, 2013
Whether your thing is indie darlings or epic RPGs, today’s daily deals have you covered. Some of the year’s best indie games and some legendary RPGs are up for the taking for $4.99 or less. This is the point of the Steam Sale where your wallet is hopelessly decimated.

Steam Holiday Sale: December 21, 2013
It’s day three of the annual Steam Holiday Sale. You know, it’s bad enough that Christmas gifts are devastating my wallet, now I have Steam plucking money out too. Damn you, GabeN!
Anyway, there are some good picks in the current deals if you don’t already own them. Daily deals on Sleeping Dogs and the Star Wars: The Old Republic series. On the flash sales, there’s XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut. Definitely some great deals open right now.

Steam Holiday Sale: December 20, 2013
Have we all made it to the second day of the Steam Holiday Sale without going bankrupt? I did though I was close to clearing out my wishlist yesterday. I’ll probably be even closer today with some of the flash sales and community picks over the next 24 hours. I’ve pretty much gotten all of the daily deals I like in the last sale. Mind you, Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior might get a buy.
Two quick reminders before we go on. First, the daily deals are for 48 hours so you have until 1:00 PM EST tomorrow to get The Stanley Parable for 40% off. (That’s a note-to-self. All of yesterday’s daily deals are still active today.) And second, the prices tend to change as Valve discovers errors. The BioShock Infinite season pass and DLC was 75% for a few minutes yesterday before that was corrected. I just missed it but that would have been a great deal considering there’s one piece still to be released.

Hold On To Your Wallets! The Steam Holiday Sale is Underway!
Has your wallet sufficiently recovered from the last Steam sale that only ended three weeks ago? Well, too bad. It’s time for the annual Steam Holiday Sale. If you missed any of the deals from the Autumn Sale, they’ll be back again here. The only difference between the Autumn and Holiday Sale deals is that there’s more time during this sale for flash sales, daily deals and community picks. Otherwise, the discounts will be the same.
As always, I’ll remind you at the start of the sale that you shouldn’t buy anything until the end of the sale unless it’s a daily deal, flash sale or a community pick. If something you want isn’t popping up on there, wait until the end of the sale to buy it.

Valve Ships Steam Machine and Controller Prototypes Today
Christmas is coming early for 300 Steam users who were notified Wednesday that they are among the lucky chosen few to get their hands on prototype versions of the Steam Machine consoles and the Steam Controller. Valve announced that the Steam Machines and Controllers were heading out the door today and they’d be releasing an early version of SteamOS to the public.

Steam Autumn Sale: December 2, 2013
There’s only 23 hours left in the Steam Autumn Sale. I think we’re just about ready to declare a free-for-all on buying stuff you don’t want to wait until the Holiday Sale for. Keep in mind that this is the last set of Daily Deals but Flash Sales will still cycle through every eight hours.
It’s also important to keep in mind that Steam sale leak that we told you about in early November says that the regular sale discount (not the daily/flash sale discounts) will be the same both now and during the Holiday sale. If you miss something now, you can wait until the next sale and hope that it flashes to something better.
For now, though, there are a couple of good games up for grabs on the cheap. If you haven’t picked up Tomb Raider yet, this is the lowest I’ve seen it (and naturally, lower than what I bought it at). Also, Brutal Legend is on a flash sale for 90% off ($1.99) so if you have any interest, now is the time to buy it.

Steam Autumn Sale: December 1, 2013
It’s the second-to-last full day of the 2013 edition of the Steam Autumn Sale and there are some good daily deals on some recent popular releases. Far Cry 3 and Metro: Last Light are both on deep discount today so if you’re looking for something to pass the time until the Holiday Sale (which is rumoured to start in only 18 days), you could do worse.

Steam Autumn Sale: November 30, 2013
Well, I just realized something colossally embarrassing when writing this post. No, I don’t mean that I’m constantly overpaying for games. I mean that the last two posts were labelled as being in October. How’d I pull that off?
Anyway, there’s some big titles on sale today if you’re looking for something to fill in the gap between now and the Christmas (Holiday) Sale in case you missed out on Train Simulator 2014 earlier today. Of course I bought it. I may do something special with that once I play around with that for a bit.
