I wish Steam let you sort games on sale by discount (the way you can on GamersGate). With these sales being so common these days, I kinda feel like, if it's not at least 66% off or more, I'm not biting. But I want to be able to easily find which titles have the biggest discounts --

C'mon, Gabe, get on that.

I know it isn't the same but you can sort your wishlist by price.

Which would be fine except I need a "Under $15" option, not just "Under $10" and "Under $5". For whatever strange reason, "Under $15" is the "OK now I'll definitely buy even though I'm kinda lukewarm about the whole thing" price-point.

So when I filter on Steam with "Under $10," in the back of my mind is always the suspicion, "Yes, but what amazing $10-14.99 deals am I missing out on?"


....are there psychiatrists out there who can treat the Steam dysfunctional among us?  'cause I'd like their number if so.

Meh...
Pretty much the exact same underwhelming sale that "ended" about a week or two ago  :P
Yep - F1 2014 and Civ Beyond Space are the same price they were in that sale.

Oh well...wait and see. F1 2014 is meant to have a new version next year anyway and this version is meant to be a cut down version

Import your wishlist into Is There Any Deal; they're much better at doing this, plus you can customise the level of discount you receive warnings about, etc.

Just got a notification from IsThereAnyDeal.  37 games on my waitlist are on sale.

...shit.

Huge Usual holidays sale discount on the Panzer Corps series at Steam!

I'm not sure Matrix marketing understands yet what a "huge" sale on Steam is. ;) But it's nice that the usual Matrix holiday sale is extending out that way, too. (Keeping in mind I've bought an utter ton of Matrix games over the years, not always during the Christmas sales either! I just didn't want to get people's hopes up.)

50% off on Panzer Corps, 25 to 30% off on assorted standalone/expansions. However, if you don't have any of the Grand Campaign packs yet (which, keep in mind, ignores Afrika Corps), that pack is effectively 40% off the regular price of buying them individually together, so to speak. (But if, like me, you already have a few of them, it might be better to buy them separately. Not sure, haven't checked.)
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.


Cyrano

There is mockery when Gus rises?
