I just posted this very thing on the Games for Sale thread. But of course this is Steam, so it really does deserve its own thread.

Legend of Grimrock for $6?!?

Meh. DRM-free version was $6.99 a while ago on GOG. Other things look nice though.
Wow... I just got two friends to get with the times and get new computers + steam accounts and this is going to be an amazing opportunity to fill out their non-existant game collections.
I have a question though about the big mega packs. Let's say I were to buy the THQ pack to fill in some missing games but already owned 2 or 3 of the games in that pack. Do I get extra copies of those to gift out to others or do I just get one copy (I mean technically you'd be paying for two serial keys so you "should" get two copies of the game).

Hmmm... I guess I will have to investigate this further... maybe they have an FAQ on it or something (I can't really check now as all games related sites are blocked at work).
Freaking awesome Dave... that's what I was going for. I think I will have to give this a try as I can fill gaps in my own collections while providing my friends with some important core games for our gaming nights. Thanks!

No worries. It annoyed me enough to implement the "only once in a thread" signature addon. If he posts again it won't show up.
But it is quite large.
edit: Sorry to Drifter and this is the first time I've ever done something like this...
I edited your sig to be 50% as big as it was. It's still big but it's not OMFGHUUUUUUUGE!

Bloody peasant!
No, no, I'm sure he wants it gifted to his other Steam account, Bubble181

Yes, please. Just let me know what game you want during the sale and I'll gift it to you.
Looks like I can't split up the THQ bundle after all... and I won't get duplicate copies of the games I own. That's a huge bite in the ass. Guess I should have researched it more carefully. *sigh*
My friend will be pretty happy with the assload of games coming his way now though...

I bought this game and after all the tutorials, I don't understand a fucking thing.
That's pretty much how they've always done it though, isn't it?

Yeah I played it for a bit last night. My whole time consisted of getting married and then getting overrun because my traitorous brother turned on me and I didn't know how to stop him. It is a very, very involved game. Makes Civ look like Chutes & Ladders.
Some of the sales are screaming at me, but I am trying to be somewhat frugal.
*sob* That screaming sound is my wallet begging for mercy.
So far, I've only bought the original Half-Life and Hoard. I would get Portal 2 if my laptop could run it. I'll have to wait until whenever I can afford a better gaming laptop, like an XPS.

Heh. Can do. 
Bought the Telltale games pack. Been meaning to try their stuff for a while now so that worked out quite well. The SEGA collection is calling to me as well - 72 games for only £34.99? Instead of over £300? Tempting...
I actually prefer Grid to the Dirt games. Think it runs on the same engine only with street and track racing instead of rally. And none of that annoying stop racing and do tricks now and look at all the cars you can buy as DLC that ruined Dirt 3.
