Steam having mega sale through January 1st photo

You play PC games, you say? *curls moustache thoughtfully* I remember the days of PC gaming, my boy....when I was growing up, we played a fine device called the Commodore. It was amazing, you see...we typed things, and the device typed back to us, just like a real person! By golly, it was the finest thing I had ever seen....although now that I play Xbox LIVE, I can hardly imagine that PCs even exist anymore. You see, I like to get on Call Of Duty 4 and blast some scoundrels to bits. 

So the Steam people from the inter-nets, you say that they are having a sale on the games? I suppose if I could fire up the old Commodore I could ... oh. So the Commodore isn't "compatible?" I don't think I understand you, son. This is all very confusing. What is a BioShock? Oh...that sounds nice. I think I might have a gander. You may have to help me with the dowdloading, as I don't think I have the foggiest idea what you mean by that word. Down-load-ing? Well, alright. Let me get my pipe.

As a very dedicated PC gamer I hate to say it is getting too damned expensive and I'm converting to consoles. I just picked up Call of Duty 4 for the 360 even though my PC can run it fully maxed. Most of the people I know are on the 360, I can relax on my couch with my 52" TV, I don't have to worry about installation, incompatibilities, etc. I still got TF2 for PC, and MMO/RTS games will only ever feel right with a mouse and keyboard...but other than that I'm signing off of PC gaming until I become exorbitantly rich so that I can keep up with it.

So you like to download a game and play it on your 2nd pc that is only online on the LAN? But you downloaded it from Steam? Awww, that's too bad!

Well I converted to console as well as it seems cheaper. But I still want a fine pc that won't worry me when I want to play a game.

It's only 10% off a $10 game, but this is the best game I saw in the store.

Also a demo of it here, but the game costs more there.

Heh, didn't even think of sending this in as a tip when I saw the Steam update news.

A few of those look pretty sweet, but I have that little problem that I iz po'. :(

I can't believe it's only $5 off TF2. Why can't it be... $30?

That is perhaps the coolest moustache ever. And that includes Mario (Mario?) and this guy.

Well it's only a matter of weather you want to run the games at a higher fps, better controls, less ms and to be called, a cheese-eating cock-sucker with no skills!
Or
Have a shiny interface, advertisements, sluggish controls, terrible player-hosted servers and to be called, [i]a cheese-eating cock-sucker wigger with no skills![i/] by a 13 year old.

Either way, more power to you! After all, the more people who play console games only, the less whining I have to hear about how I must cheat - game on!
hehe.

@Necros
So would I, but my DVD drive is on the fritz. Besides, you can download the game from multiple locations, via Steam. It only sucks if Steam suddenly crashes and goes to hell.

PC Gaming uber alst! Well not really. But PC gaming is definitely ftw with epic deals even more so...Plus we all know fps on consoles are just like traps only there to tease...

I mainly agree with Promagnum. But you forgot to say "rrod", meaning=very crappy hardware.

I like the deals, maybe I will purchase the Sam & Max episode 1.

I've just won a new laptop and I've just bought Vampire Bloodlines from Steam for about £6. Debating whether to get Psychonauts on PC through Steam or via XBL. Any advice?
