    Wouldn't it be the craziest thing if one of the token prizes was a Dota 2 beta invite?

    Let me tell you about Dota 2.

    Do you want to play the WC3 version of Dota with prettier graphics? Then this game is what you want.

    Do you want ANY meaningful changes from the WC3 version? Then you should play HoN or LoL or something else. This game is DotA-ass DotA. With everything good and bad about that.

    And let me tell you, the people are the same. This is hands-down THE worst community on the internet. You think Xbox Live is bad? They have nothing on some of these people. Just be prepared.

    Also in particular the interface has a lot of stuff not completed yet. No tutorials, no help, private game lobbies work EXACTLY like WC3, it is unclear if matchmaking takes any skill into account (it probably does), etc. This beta is a beta which is actually kind of refreshing in a way.

    So if you are still interested after all of that, the game is actually still great. I mean WC3 DotA is still fun today for these reasons, so this game which is basically the same should also be fun. And it totally is! Get some friends (or make some) and matchmake together and the pub-stomping fun times can roll. Just know what you are getting into.

    I've been in the beta for a few weeks already.

    I've got so many games I haven't played yet on steam, buying more will be an insult to my already bloated library. Where do I sign up?

    Also I bought the telltale pack last sale then only played Puzzle Agent 1 & 2. Damn you steam!

    I just noticed buying all the Railworks 3 DLC separately would cost you just under ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.

    I bought myself Sequence. It's been sitting in my wishlist since October, and it's a steal at $2.50. If you like rhythm games and RPGs, I'd highly suggest it. 
    Besides that, I have Bully: Scholarship Edition, Tropico 3, and Just Cause 2 sitting in my cart. Does anyone have any experience with Bully on the PC? I've heard nothing but good things about the game itself, but nothing particular to the PC version.

    I have heard that game is pretty bad. The games holiday sale achievement is apperently broken and the devs haven't responded to it at all.

    Well at least it was super cheap. I figured I'd get it to get that achievement, shame it's broken though. :/

    Will finally pick up Costume quest, even if it's the wrong season.

    I'm waiting for you guys to sell me Recettear. I'm really tempting to just buy it, but I'm afraid it will be yet another game on my Steam account I won't touch (why do I have you Titan Quest, Company of Heroes, GRAW 2 . . . )

    I got Dungeons of Dredmor, Psychonauts, and... *gasp*... Duke Nukem Forever.  I promised my brother I would play through it and this is the cheapest I've seen it so might as well get it. I'll probably also get Costume Quest as well. 
     
    My first goals are to get the Gift Pile stuff from Dungeons of Dredmore and Psychonauts. 
     
    Edit: got the achievement for for Dungeons of Dredmore. 50% off a game I already have and a lump of coal. :( 
     
    It's a really fun game though and quite funny.  They have mini Babybel cheese as a health item.

    I got Orcs Must Die as a gift yesterday and got the achievement, but for some reason it is still grayed out as incomplete on the holiday page. Checked today and it was still like this, what do?

    Just found out & getting a few things though kind of vexed on the fact that now if I pull up the wishlist (through the steam app on the pc) it no longer shows the prices. Was an easy way to see just what was on sale. So far I still like the summer event (at least so far) at using the new seasonal achievement tickets for getting new dlc/games but time will tell what they will put on this season of holiday madness.

    Friendly reminder: Some of the games that have the holiday achievements are in Humble Bundle #4. Also, Humble Bundle #4 is pretty nuts if you don't have most of those games.

    I want to buy the DLC for Dungeons of Dredmor and Jamestown. one is 74 cents the other is $1.49. Should I wait until the last day of steam sales? The DoD DLC actually got cheaper.
