I don't even have a wishlist, never found any use for them :)

That's true, but while they never put some games on the front page, you can still find those games in their catalogue for 50% - 75% off. Browsing through it seems like little price to pay.

May be a pain if you don't know what you're looking for.

Your not wrong there. All the 80% (or higher) off stuff has either been bundled the crap out of (most people will have) or games which aren't very good to start with....Must recommend the Shatter soundtrack however.
There's a few gems in the 75% off and under category tho (quite a few games which have been bundled before too)

Depends what you consider gems.

At a quick glanse at the -75% I can I see games like Civilization, Bioshock, Aztaka, Sacred Gold, Drakensang, Puzzle Quest 2, Eschalon: Book I & II, iBomber Defense, The Maw, The Whispered World, The Void, Machinarium, Defense Grid, Fly'N, Carpe Fulgur Collection...... all these are what I consider gems. And that was a very quick browse.

Anyone played Starseed Pilgrim?

I'm tempted to try it at 55% off but funds are tight and I'd like to hear some positive opinions before I part with the cash.

Ooh might get the community choice next whichever of GTA 4, Portal 2 or Mirror's Edge
I'm a big fan of the first 2 series and Mirror's Edge looks interesting too

Also spotted The Cave and Saints Row 2 for 75% off - this could get expensive!

been holding out on that 75% off on portal 2. I hope that wins the vote.

Cave will probably stay that way, but Saints Row 2 for 75% will disappear in an hour and a half.

Short answer? Yes.

That's exactly what just happened to me. Good, innit?

Somewhat related question: Is this a complete list?

P.S. Yes, I know Steam is also a drm.

A-ha thanks for the heads up, purchased SR2, although The Cave was already back up to only 50% off, don't know what happened there, ended up checking the whole catalogue and got loads of old stuff for cheap - Original Red Faction, Original Aliens Vs. Predator, Clive Baker's Jerhico and some others
After my spending spree I've ended up with 2 cards marked as common - do they have to be rarer than that to be worth anything?

I don't have anything specific in my Steam wishlist really... but let's say that if e.g. Skyrim Legendary Edition gets well under 10€, let's say 5€, I'll get it. Legendary Edition is fully complete with all DLCs, right?

Maybe also if they offer some "Borderlands 2 Complete" similarly for a few bucks, maybe that too, albeit I am unsure I like the game. I haven't played the first one yet which I have already from earlier sales.

Maybe something else catches my interest too, but I wouldn't be surprised if I don't buy anything from Steam this time.

Oh yeah, and no badge hunting this time either. Didn't do me any good last time either, not even one freebie. I didn't think the virtual badge itself was supposed to be some kind of prize? Sounds more like a badge of shame, "Whee I used this amount of time for useless tasks on Steam daily!".

Neither's going to be that low this sale. Legendary was 40%, that'll probably be it for this sale. Borderlands 2 complete, when it comes out, will be too new for a low sale.

Basically very unrealistic expectations, but that can't be a surprise :)

And yeah, play Borderlands 1 first, it's pretty much the same gameplay, and characters come back in 2 so if you're ever gonna play that it's best to have played 1 anyway. If you don't like 1, don't bother getting 2.
