Steam Holiday Sale!
What's everyone got or looking to get then? 
It's going to take a while to look through everything first so nothing for me yet.
They seem to have changed a couple of things from recent big sales. Community choice flash sales appear to be once every 24 hours instead of every 8 hours. Also, for those who collect the sale-themed winter trading cards - there's no special in-game items that come for crafting them like there was in last winter's and this past summer's sale.

Dark Souls II and Rome II look good prices if you're into that sort of thing, Sniper Elite 3 can be had for half the steam sale price from resellers though.
Not buying anything day 1, but quite happy with the contents of the Squenix Christmas Surprise today anyway (Thief, Murdered: Soul Suspect, The Last Remnant, Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light, Deus Ex - The Fall & Nosgoth Founders - Warlord Pack... all for a fiver).
Hope Wolfie New Order drops a bit lower than £17.49.
I was tempted by that, downloaded the Demo to have a play and kept crashing.
Also, for those consequences to happen,it's not just a case of clicking 1 link. You have to click several. This oversensationilization (****ing hell) of '1 click in chat and boom' is wrong and isn't helpful. You need to click 4 more things iirc for it to do it's work.
More of a phisihing attempt, but another common one I've heard of is people saying their friend wanted to trade with you but he can't add you, please click this link to add him. You then get directed to a site that looks like it's Steam but isn't and it's asking you to log in so they can steal your username/password. The link will be to steamcormunity.com or steamcomnunity.com etc. instead of steamcommunity.com and they hope you don't notice.
Edit: Make sure Steam guard is on, just in case and that your email password is different to your Steam one!
Same. Its a blast, tfhe graphics could do with an update lol
No mouse pointer, all I can do is go up and down at the menu screen with the arrows
Might go for Saints Row IV as well, never played on console, and have now got the telly as a second screen for the PC for Big Picture stuffs.
Talking of which, how is Skyrim the number one seller right now?! Surely everyone has picked it up already in one of the many other sales? Not that I'm knocking it, I still play it, its one of my all-time favourites. Just amazed so many people are still buying it.
Anyone new to Skyrim on here?
I did help the Skyrim sales by buying a gift copy to give away at some point. Maybe others are doing that too.
On my friends list I have many more people who own it than want it though, which would tie into the theory that those who want it have it already. Perhaps it takes less than we think to be a top seller?
Have you tried the usual stuff like running in compatibility mode, running as administrator and verifying the game files?
Last year broke the internet, so i'd be surprised if they do it again. Or, maybe a 'lesser' game, like Bad Rats. Or Racer 8.
Steam regularly goes down for me every time there is a sale, I sometimes wonder if they can actually cope with the growing popularity of the site
