Steam Kicks-Off Massive Autumn Sale, Renders Black Friday Pointless
'Tis the season to watch in horror as your bank account whimpers out a pitiful final breath – tralalalala. That's how the song goes, right? Fortunately, as is its wont, Steam's attempting to make things a bit easier (or infinitely more difficult, depending on your inability to resist and pouncing on a perfect deal and savaging it like a rabid wolverine). Starting now and running until November 27, Valve's ubiquitous download platform will be rotating out deals so delicious that we've taken to calling this time of year “Excitedly-F5-Steam-Every-Morningsgiving.” The name could use some work, but you get the idea. Right now, standouts include Orcs Must Die for $3.74, Mass Effect 2 for $4.99, and Portal 2 for $10.19 – among many, many others.

I remember a while ago I made a post saying I wouldn't buy LA Noire on PC at full price. Guess I don't have that problem anymore!

Wow. So many games I've not been able to play for the past several years. Might install Half Life 2 today so I can get in on this.

Bought Test Drive Unlimited 2. 5 bucks so even if it sucks it's not a big deal. Can't wait to drive the CLK63 AMG Black Series....just waiting for the 14 GB download lol.
The only stuff I actually buy instead of pirating is stuff that is a) cheap and b) has a multiplayer experience. So stuff like Portal 2 and Mass Effect 2 don't interest me.

Oh how I love Steam. Take my money!
It's just too bad Mass Effect 2 doesn't come with all the DLC, you still need to buy that through EA.

it's times like this I'm glad I don't have a source of income... because this would make me break the bank...
Although, you can't really complain, these are some really frickin awesome deals.
