The Glade 4.0

So, it's rumored this will be beginning any time now. Has anyone else quit buying daily deals, sales, etc for the last couple weeks in preparation for this? I fully expect to buy many games that I will not get around to playing for a long time.

Ive been on a holding pattern mostly for the last couple months, just waiting for game X to come on sale...

I always forget there is a sale they do during the summer. A summer sale. But I am glad for the reminder, as I was just thinking about purchasing some games. I am definitely going to hold off on that until the sale.

Looks like amazon is getting into the PC summer sale business as well.

Borderlands+Borderlands2+DLC Season Pass for 21.99. Not too shabby, since the season pass is 20 bucks.

Green Man Gaming supposedly has just BL2 + Season Pass for $13.99 (use promo code: GMG10-U49LX-GAE17), but the site is down for maintenance at the moment. Season Pass is normally $30 and does not come with the add-on characters (mechromancer and psycho).

Been having so much fun with this game. The final DLC they just released is awesome. Basically one of the characters DM's a D&D game that you play within. So instead of shooting psychos and robots, you're shooting orcs and skeletons and spending eridium to roll 20-sided dice that determines loot quality. The ending was a good combination hilarious and poignant. Probably one of the best DLC's I've ever played.

That's excellent, the promo material they had released had me intrigued. I'll definitely pick it up now based on your recommendation.

No worries. Lenas and I have been playing on Steam. Hit one of us up if you wanna play.

Thanks for the heads up. Picked this up last night and got it downloaded. I really enjoyed Borderlands, but I haven't gotten a chance to try Borderlands 2, yet. Gonna be trying it out when I get home from work. Looking forward to it.

Either that was a short term sale or wasn't working, can't seem to get that code to work. I'll keep an eye out.

It's reported steam support confirmed that the Summer sale starts tomorrow, the 11th!

About damn time.

I'm just not seeing it. They starting slowly and then working up speed?

Steam usually flips their sales/specials at 10am pacific.

Yep, you can follow the countdown timer on today's deals (currently Alice), the summer sale should turn on when it hits zero, assuming the information saying it starts today was accurate.

Haha, follow the link in my post a couple posts up for the full version. The glory!

Hah, I missed the link, and was passed the YouTube video by a coworker. Ah, well...

First flash sales up:

Oh man, this steam trading card thing is going to be awesome and dangerous. At least a good excuse to replay some old games. Trading cards for playing psychonauts? Don't mind if I do!

I don't understand the trading card thing. What is it?

I don't get it either, seems dumb. You collect cards from different games to complete sets, which turn into badges, which you redeem for dumb **** like a wallpaper on your profile?

Pass.

All steam games on sale in decending percentage of discount:

http://steamdb.info/sales/

All game packages (games + dlc, multiple games, games +soundtracks)

Also, did some more digging on the trading card thing, kind of disappointing that it's linked to play time now and not anything specific. So i'll probably just get them as I play naturally, don't give a crap about grinding, same as I felt for steam achievements.

Ok, this thing is amazing, it tells you how many games you own, how long you've spent, and how many you have never played.

All the humble bundles I've bought have completely wrecked my stats.
