You gotta love AND HATE Steam Summer Sale. Downloading Shogun 2 (18 GB) now with... 20 kb/s... Seriously, with all the money they're getting from Steam, you'd expect them to have some bloody decent servers by now.
Oh well, at least I'll have something to play when I retire.
Update: To anyone who thought I was kidding: it has been almost an hour since I began the download and I'm at 150 mb downloaded with 208 kb/s.

$2.50 for Knights of the Old Republic? Looks like I no longer have an excuse for not having played it.
I'm sure my bank account is going to suffer over the next week.

Damn, I just got paid and I can already sense that I wont have any money come monday....damn you Steam!
AAAUUUGH! STEAM! WHY DO YOU INSIST ON MAKING ME POOR?! WHY DO YOU HATE ME FOR HAVING MONEY?! *breaks down and cries* Well there goes my savings... again...
Where's a picture of Gabe swimming in money with a troll face shopped on his head when you need it? Every day there's discounts until the end of this event, damn it.
I know you probably already know this, but they are.The Great JT said:
And they look pretty good. Kinda like Dangeresque Too? but a lot more like aviators.
From what we can understand:ScottocS said:
Each set of 7 activities is open for the entire sales offer. Each prize costs you 3 tickets, and spare tickets go towards a draw for you to win 10 games off your wishlist if you have 10 games on your wishlist.
We're expecting the big releases on July 4th (obviously) but 2/3 tickets can be earned (so far) for free.

these are awesome sales (got borderlands GOTY for seven bucks) but is anyone else finding it impossible to actually download your purchases?
It's not their servers, it's your ISP. I'm on the ass end of the planet (Australia) and down here all the two major ISP's (Optus and Telstra) throttle the link speed on the local in-country steam servers. It's actually faster for me to change my location to San Jose and download - goes from 100k/s to 400-500k/s.Zulnam said:
Although, that being said, they're probably under amazing load right now. They've had between 2 and 3 million people online at all times this weekend and you gotta know people are downloading like mad on all the cheap games.
Shit, just checked Steam today for new deals and saw the Half-Life bundle I bought a few days ago for half the price.OldKingClancy said:
Fuck.
Ahhh.... well there goes another 50 bucks.
Just bought the Squeenix/edios pack. Has Batman GOTY, all the Tombraider games, all the Hitman games, both Just Cause games + all DLC and a bunch of other misc games (Kane & Lynch, Deus Ex, Thief: Deadly Shadows, blah blah)
