lately i have been playing alot of different free online roleplaying games,whats so good about steam??
Recently I was given Left 4 Dead 2 as a gift… havent had time to play it much, only the first singleplayer-mission, but multiplayer was hectic action. IGN gave it 9.0 and its ten dollaz now in Steam. Just in case I someday need to blow out some steam (and zombies) with Renoisers 
Added you on Steam. Played quite a lot of L4D, mainly the survival mode were we’re even holding some records. Not playing it that much currently, simply because i’m getting a bit tired of it, but feel free to hit me up at some point or if you’re going for expert mode campaigns.
don’t buy fallout new vegas.
it crashes & corrupts itself.
Also does not play properly with nvidia cards or DX9.
Flatout 2 is now 1 euro (!) … had to buy it for myself and for a few friends
That was a great tip… don’t forget the ultimate carnage edition either…
i picked up a few games for myself! 
do i need to setup a community steam ID in order to buy a game as a gift for a friend??..

During checkout you can choose to buy the item as gift and send it either directly to a person on your friendslist or to a mail address of your choice. If your friend does not have Steam installed, he/she should create his/her own account. The gift mail contains a link, which he/she can use then to redeem the gift.
thanks beatslaughter!
i think i made a friend happy!

The biggest sale on Steam has started today. It will last 2 weeks and offer each day a new selection of games as “daily deal” with extra high discounts. Additionally nearly the whole shop has discounts applied too. Usual buying strategy is to only grab the daily offers if something is tempting and wait for the rest until the very last day and buy then. This will avoid frustration, if the game is offered at an even higher discount on a daily.
It started a bit later here but I can see the sale now.
I’m thinking of getting portal 2 and there’s a 75% sale on it… do you think they might have an even better deal like 90% later on in the sale?
I’m also waiting for the dungeon defenders DLC to be in sale. I’m hoping for the best.
Waa! Thanks for the tip! I think I’m going to get the 1&2 combo. Never played either one, but loved the HL2-games, and have been hearing nothing but praise for these. And having seen a couple of these sales, I doubt the price will drop… But you never know. It’s frustrating. 75% is enough for me, though. Hey! Since when was Super Meat Boy available for mac!? 75% on that one too. I liked VVVVV very much, so I think I’ll grab that one too. Damn, so many great titles!
EDIT: Got 'em. Now, let’s see. How to translate “I got me some games for christmas” into wifean?
Portal 2 is a daily deal, so no, this won’t get a better price.
Basically anything shown on the frontpage in that grid view and probably the games shown in the list of objectives for that gift pile thingie should be safe instant buys. For the rest i would wait till last day with purchasing.
I’m waiting for left 4 dead 2 to be in the daily sales… if it doesn’t get a -75% deal I guess I’ll get it at 50%.
However, I only need 2 copies. Anyone would be interested in sharing this deal? at 75% it would be 3.75$ usd for each copies of the game.
today you can get a free item:

Join the 2011 Holiday Group - Years from now, you can look back and say “I was there. . .” with a wistful glint in your eye. Go to the Steam Community to see who’s already had too much eggnog.
i only got coal out of it though.
Still waiting for Plants vs Zombies and Revenge of the Titans to go 75% or higher off. 
Indie games are all I play (except for BF:BC2)
For indies:
I really liked LIMBO, which has a deal today. Nice 2D puzzle platformer.

Also playing Magicka with a friend in coop and it’s really fun.

Also worth a look may be Capsized, which is another little platformer, focussed more on action though. Has great music and pretty neat graphcs.
Got Limbo today 'cos it looked cool and at that price.
Also the Alien Breed games are on 75% off. I completed 1 and 2 on the Amiga back in the day so should bring back some memories and three games for less than a fiver. Long live Team17!
Oh, and as to my username. It’s kazakore, same as pretty much everywhere I have a virtual presence (or DJ etc)
crytek, i’ts on sale today with 33% off.
http://www.steamprices.com/ i just found this site for everyone to view the price different of games depending where you are.
we get so ripped off here in australia, for example skyrim is usaully $90 and in the US it’s $60 and that’s without discounts on either. AUD and USD exchange rates are almost the same btw.
