When it was 35 bucks earlier today, I don't think that it was particularly expensive.

You could be a gentleman & gift it to me. It's the classy thing to do on Steam.

Why would I give you a gift?

I will give Garbon a gift.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I can gift Grey Fox a Card.

Well, I'm not actually sure how to do that.  I sent a Friend Request.

Of the ones on sale today, I already own the ones I want.

And of the four games on flash sale: I have all of them.

And I'm not interested in Borderlands 2.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Defiance being sub-$15 seems like a pretty good deal.  Trigger: pulled.

I thought cards were for trading, I.E. giving away.  I guess they aren't...

You can sell them. I sold a few cards and now have €0.55 in my Steam wallet. :P

Also, the RPS guide to the Steam sale:

QuoteQ: I AM POOR AND DON'T WANT TO SPEND A BUNCH OF MONEY WAAAAAAH.

A: OK, then don't do it.

Q: BUT I STILL WANT TO AND HONESTLY WILL PROBABLY BE FINE MONETARILY I JUST SAY THIS BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE DOES.

A: OK, then do it.

Q: BUT I ACTUALLY HAVE MOST OF THESE GAMES BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN IN COUNTLESS OTHER SALES.

A: OK, then don't do it.

Q: I AM THE ONE HUMAN WHO HASN'T PLAYED BIOSHOCK INFINITE YET.

A: OK, then do it.

Q: I JUST BOUGHT IT. WHY DO I STILL FEEL EMPTY INSIDE.

A: Probably because there haven't been a lot of great triple-A games on PC recently and most of the major indie releases launch cheap anyway. Oh, and Steam trading cards are kind of a boring gimmick. Also, because the most exciting event of your summer is a videogame sale.

Q: OH. BUT MORE SALES WILL MAKE ME HAPPY, RIGHT?

A: GOG and Amazon both had big ones. Arguably better than Steam's.

Q: COOL! THIS WILL SURELY MAKE ALL OF MY TROUBL–

A: You missed them. Well, I guess Amazon's is still going, but it's US-only and ends on July 14th.

Q: OH.

A: Yeah.

Q: I THINK I WANT A HUG.

A: No. But anyway, don't you have a million-billion games backlogged from other Steam sales anyway? And look, I don't know, Just Cause 2 is super great. It's practically free at this point. Antichamber's also magnificent, and you know what? You may as well just wheel your cart up to the indie section and go nuts, because everything there is running about with only itsy bitsy price tags to cover up their gamey bits.

Q: BUT I'M POOR AND DON'T WANT TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY

A: OK, we're done here.

Walking Dead: purchased.

I'm not a big fan of the zombie genre, but I saw a bunch of you people raving about this game, so I figured what the fuck.
