This Old Neon Forum

Today is the supposed launch date of Steam's (in)famous Summer Sale for 2014.

Use this thread to post any deals that are particularly enticing to make sure no one else misses them! You can also post your hauls in here to make your wallet weep with bittersweet glee and make the rest of the TONe community green ( ) with envy.

EDIT: Remember to wait until the last day unless the item you're looking at is a daily deal or a flash sale!

Tonight's Flash & Community Choice sales cracked my 2014 Summer Sale wallet virginity. I picked up the Shadowrun Returns deluxe upgrade and the Dragonfall DLC (so I should have the complete version of the game now), and I also snagged Risk of Rain for $2.49.

2014 Steam Summer Sale Damage:
$ 2.49 - Risk of Rain
$ 2.49 - Shadowrun Returns Deluxe Upgrade
$ 5.99 - Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall

I am currently in the green on this sale, though I don't expect that to last another hour.

$0.99 Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death gifted to a friend (It's surprisingly good and that price is a joke)
$1.99 Bit.Trip Flux
-$3.80 Foil Summer Card 8

I wonder if I'll get so lucky again during the sale.

It seems like most of the games that are still on my wishlist are getting kind of crappy sales so far, but that's probably because they're newish games that don't deserve deep cuts yet, or they're niche games/bundles that won't get front-page deal attention.

Banished has been getting a lot of buzz around here from PR and Kiwi. It's 50% off today, but I'm not sure I can bite on it even at that price. I guess I can wait for 75% off this winter or something.

I've just snagged Marlow Briggs (at Spore's semi-recommendation), as well as One Way Heroics (I don't know anything about it, but it's under $1 and a couple friends on Steam seem to be liking it) and ORION: Dino Horde (tonight's flash sale—looks like a pretty fun silly shooter, could possibly take Gotham City's place in my heart).

2014 Steam Summer Sale Damage:
$ 2.49 - Risk of Rain
$ 2.49 - Shadowrun Returns Deluxe Upgrade
$ 5.99 - Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall
$ 0.99 - Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death
$ 0.87 - One Way Heroics
$ 1.49 - ORION: Dino Horde

Keeping it real, under $15 so far.

Awesomenauts is on sale for $0.99 for the next eight hours. That seems like a pretty good deal for anyone interested. I wonder if we could set up a forum game.

Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition is one of the daily deals today. It's down to $6.24 from $24.99. In 2012, it was ranked the 132nd BEST GAME EVER!!!

Today is also the last day for the Steam summer sale metagame.

I would be in for that, I'm pretty sure DocAllo would join too.

Add the Borderlands 2 GOTY Edition to the list.
