Brace yourselves, the Steam Holiday Sale starts soon

Bow down, bow down before the power of Gaben or be crushed be crushed by his jolly sales of doom

Grandparents who complain about everything. Crowded supermarkets that make you wish you were driving a tank indoors. Extra-irritating car guards in your personal home driveway. Gentlmen, that spells Christmas to me. But there’s one other tradition that we’ve left off of that list: The Steam Holiday Sale. Cheap games, rock-bottom prices and a backlog that you’ll never finish. The sale kicks off from 8PM US of A time, so ready your bank accounts. There’s some shopping to do!

        I’m feeling generous, what is your Steam nick and what game on your wishlist do you want most?

          You could maybe pay for my wedding! That would be grand. Other wise, don’t stress about it. The money was well spent. And I have a large library that requires my attention… badly. Or you could just buy me Elite: Dangerous 😀

          I don’t know but it has achievements and steam trading cards, so Im sure it’ll make it all worth it when you sell those cards

            December 18, 2014 at 12:40

            I had a few pages with a few sets, had to fend off people begging for em but I managed to craft and fill in the missing cards I still needed and have $2.42 in my account thanks to steam gems, brillance at its finest

          • Admiral Chief Octacore

            December 18, 2014 at 12:43

            LOL yeah, I really milked the gem sales, got quite a few dorrars

            Trading cards is a big part of Steam’s appeal to me.

          • Corrie

            December 18, 2014 at 12:43

            But honestly I hate crafting badges, the cards are better to keep than badges

          • Admiral Chief Octacore

            December 18, 2014 at 12:44

            MUST HAVE ALL THE BADGES!

          • Corrie

            December 18, 2014 at 12:51

            Must sell your house,your possessions and your body to do that

          • Captain JJ the engaged

            December 18, 2014 at 12:44

            I like my badges. But only for certain games. I’m a bit selective with that.

          • Admiral Chief Octacore

            December 18, 2014 at 12:47

            Yeah, has to be for good games!

            I craft badges for every game I play that has them. They’re like how I imagine Pokemons to be, only I get them by playing good games.

          • Captain JJ the engaged

            December 18, 2014 at 12:50

            Wow. I don’t have that kind of dedication. Though getting all my card drops per game is a MUST.

          • ToshZA

            December 18, 2014 at 12:39

            To get cards you have to actually play the game. So…

          • Admiral Chief Octacore

            December 18, 2014 at 12:40

            You get cards for voting for the sales as well as buying games (1 card for every $10 spent I think)

          • Corrie

            December 18, 2014 at 12:42

            Yeah I got those holiday cards for crating regular badges and sold em, will buy em again when they drop dirt cheap

            Sell high buy low
