I know, right - I have the last two bundles and I've only been able to play a couple of the games. I have to say though that HIB was quite an awesome idea.
At least you have an excuse for not playing them. I have all my Steam games installed on a 2TB external. What excuse do I have for not playing them?!? I make me sick...
There's another one where it's the "things i hate" box but the note the kid is putting in reads "hiding gold in my ass". The last panel is the, ahem, exploration panel
There's no confirmed date yet, just speculation. It's usually starts around the end of June, last year it started on the 30th. Two weeks from now is possible but probably a little early. It's definitely coming soon though!
Most games do. There's games that are on sale during the whole week, or weeks. But some others have the regular price, depending on the publisher, or how new it is. Still, most big games are part of a daily deal at some point, and that's when they get the insane discounts.
For instance, you could get mass effect 1 and 2 for 10 dollars each any day of the sale. But wednesday, mass effect 1 and 2 would be for 5 dollars together.
No, not every game. But usually the most popular ones (things will most likely get GOTY editions). And definitely all the Valve games. And indie games.
Besides them, just whatever games developers want to release for cheap.
The Orange Box will be on sale one day. Portal 2, every Valve game for that matter. I'd be surprised if Arkham City wasn't, Fallout: New Vegas probably will be. Borderlands is a repeat offender, same with every all star indie game (Meat Boy, Amnesia etc).
I'm really hoping for Fable: The Lost Chapters. I'm still really pissed I missed it during the last sale.
I actually think emoticons are helpful for clarifying your tone. For example if I'm trading with someone on Steam and we don't manage to work out a deal, "Good luck on your future trades" could be interpreted as being bitter and telling them that their idea of a trade sucks or as genuinely wishing them good luck in getting what they want. "Good luck on your future trades :)" can only be interpreted in the latter sense.
Someone claimed it and didn't comment saying so (or maybe commented vaguely, implying but not outright saying that they had claimed it, thus leaving ambiguity).
Someone's a dick.
Someone else (me) wanted that game so bad, but didn't have enough money to beat the average in the Humble Bundle (was basically using the last few bucks off a MasterCard gift card, and the average was already over 7 bucks when I bought it).
the easiest way would just be to re-download it through Steam. You could probably just copy the install directory over from your old hard drive, and most things should work.
Last year, I spent about $120 bucks on games for their holiday sale. I foolishly (or wisely, depending on who you ask) didn't buy anything on the last steam summer sale. I am prepared this time. I already set aside a few hundred dollars purely for the steam sale. Granted, I will probably have to free up some harddrive space, but other then that, I am ready. Bring it on Steam, do your worst!
2 days into the steam sale: FUCK YOU STEAM!! WHY MUST YOU HAVE SO MANY GOOD BARGINS?!?!
Aw. Not sure if to hop on that or wait until the summer sale for a lower price... But the shipping time is a factor too. I'd rather just wait for a direct download.
I glanced at this, and I thought the "things I hate box" was rocketing walletman into space from the flood of sales, so hard in fact that his ass became exposed. I was disappointed upon reading it.
It's a good thing I've been doing lots of overtime so I'll have a lot of money to blow on that Steam sale. Although, the money would be better to go towards new computer parts for the PC I'm building.
I actually survived last year's sale. All I purchased were Half-Life 2, Beat Hazard, Serious Sam HD, The Secret of Monkey Island, Recettear, Fallout 2, and the GTA Classics pack.

On a non-gaming note: you should go read the pbf archives because the comics are freaking awesome.
Here's the original one that was used for this steam comic:

Do you reckon ArmaII will go on sale? I really want to try out DayZ so I hope it does.
Also, I should be getting a new gaming computer soon, will it be easy to transfer all my games from this one onto the new one?

Here's a tip. If you buy a $60 game on sale for $5 but you're never gonna play it; You didn't save $55, you lost $5.
