Hold On to Your Wallets: It's the 2017 Steam Summer Sale
Ah June. "Summer," they said. "It will be nice," they said, unknowingly. Many choose this month as the somewhat officially unofficial start of that period where you are expected to go to the beach, enjoy sunbathing, and generally just go out. But those of us in the know, well, know, the truth. The truth is that Summer means bank accounts in distress, wallets screaming not to give way to those $, €, or monetary currency of your choice. Summer means steaming temperatures, and that gives its way to the Steam Summer sale.
It's official. It's started. Already the Steam servers are taking a pounding. Money is flowing in metaphorical rivers, a cascading bluff of hopes and dreams of gamers everywhere towards finding that hidden, discounted gem, or just getting that one amazing game that just came out a few months ago at a steep discount. Luckily, this Summer sale is a little shorter than actual summer. Can you imagine yourselves with three paychecks to burn on building up your games library? And, necessarily, your backlog of games you will never even get to play? Happy days those. Happy days these. Go now. You have until July 5th.

I am going to pile up on VR games so hard today.
Alright kittens, any good RPG games to recommend? Or just any new games? I just find out my newest game(for traditional gaming, not VR) is actually Nekopara. It has been a while since I gamed seriously. So time to stock up on some good games!
Also, while I tried to reply to you....lol
Almost my entire wishlist is on sale. I have to settle for Fallout 4, DOOM and some random DLC I've been putting on the backburner for the past year.
Had Minerva's Den and Portal 2 in my cart since monday. Got both for $3 and some change, so it was a good thing I waited a bit.
... I need to hide my debit card and ask my ISP to block Steam until the sale is over, cause it's already getting out of hand.
And that's why i can't understand why people threw themselves in it straight from the beginning, overloading the server - those prices are not gonna change for the next week, so why hurry?
I also see Dishonored 2 is on sale...hmmm. Damn if I had more money and time...
Damn you Gaben sucking up my savings!
Edit: Finally I am done. Final count $740 worth of game and hardware. Got a steam link and controller in the end. Most of my purchase are VR games, except Prey and Nier:Automata
Good thing is that a 850evo is arriving tomorrow.
The Division is just £15.99 now so I'm finally gonna buy this game (and probably never get round to actually playing it). I saw a few other games that looked good too. My credit card is gonna be aflame... :laugh:
