Weeklong Deals:
Steam usually has week-long deals that change on Mondays at 6PM UTC. They mostly feature indie games, and may not run every week.

Sale summary lists:

Key:
⤷ indicates DLC, — specifies part of a pack, + shows alternative versions, ⚠ highlights things worth knowing, ♫ is obvious, and ... denotes a multi-pack.

Holiday Sale 2013 | 19/12/13 through 3/1/14:
Days 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, 13-14.

Indie* bundle threads: (*Not always indie, nor always a bundle.)

Free stuff:
There are quite a few free games (mostly Free to Play) and mods available via the Steam platform, a comprehensive list of which can be found in this thread on the SPUF.
(NOTE: free games are not permanently attached to your Steam account like actual purchases would be. You'll need to manually download a game again from the website if you uninstall it.)

So what do the PC Master Race think about this ? It can only end up being a disappointment when the benchmarks fall behind whatever video card comes out next week.

Now that we have some CAG's in the beta, can you talk about your experiences, or are they making you sign a Non Discloser Agreement?

Yeah I can talk about it, nothing in the email mentioned an NDA, however they don't allow you to sell the steam machine/controller.

FYI this is the rest of the email that I didn't paste before:

[SIZE=11.5pt]We have also added a special badge to your Steam community profile which indicates that you are an official Steam Universe beta participant. It’s called Steam Hardware Beta Participant, and you can see it on your Steam community profile page. (So can everyone else!)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt]We [/SIZE][SIZE=11.5pt]will ship the Steam Machine and Steam Controller to the address you provided when you signed up for beta participation. The devices are scheduled to ship on December 13th via FedEx. You’ll receive tracking info from FedEx as soon as the shipment leaves the factory. Note that a signature will be required upon delivery, so please use the tracking info you receive to plan a time when someone can be home to receive the box and sign for it when it arrives.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt]We ask only one thing of you during of the SteamOS / Steam Machine / Steam Controller beta: use these devices and have fun with them. The purpose of the beta is to include you in the Steam team’s design process, because your participation will help us build better hardware and help make SteamOS as good as it can be. In addition to the feedback you contribute via the Steam Universe community group, the way you use your Steam hardware will help teach us what’s working and which areas need improvement.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt]Remember, the beta hardware is meant for your use. The beta agreement specified that it cannot be transferred to other Steam users. So please do not try to sell your hardware to anyone else.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt]For questions, discussions, support, bragging rights, fan art, and everything else, you can visit the official beta URL:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt]http://steampowered.com/steamosbeta/[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt](That web site is not live yet, but will be by the time you receive your Steam Machine.)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt]We look forward to working with you over the next few months. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt]Signed, [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11.5pt]The Steam team[/SIZE]

Network Executive Lady: We at the network want a dog with attitude. He's edgy, he's "in your face." You've heard the expression, "let's get busy"? Well, this is a dog who gets "biz-zay!" Consistently and thoroughly.

Krusty: So he's proactive, huh?

Network Executive Lady: Oh, God, yes. We're talking about a totally outrageous paradigm.

Have you got any idea how it's going to work? Whether or not I'd be interested depends on what playing entails.

Joining the group doesn't compel you to play. We have a week to work out the details, if in the end you aren't interested its no biggie.

So I just begun playing the two Boss Baddie games I hadn't touched on Steam (Wake / Lunnye Devitsy) to get the cards.

I'm starting to think he believes all people should see games like a mole with crippling cataracts would. I've never seen anyone else literally DROWN ENTIRE GAMES IN POINTLESS BLOOM EFFECTS.

And don't get me started on the games themselves... why does Wake have THIRTEEN cards?

So you can make more money selling them?

 
Wake is crap.  The bloom makes it an unpleasant experience.  Lunnye is not much better... from the fifteen minutes I gave it jumping around aimlessly.

Ah, but it doesn't work like that since the more cards in a set = the lest crazy badge crafters will pay per card to craft them. That's why cards for stuff like Organ Trail are in the nickle range and Bastion cards are still in upper quarter land. In the end games with sets of 5/6 generally yield more than games with 10+.

I had no idea wtf I was doing in either game.

In other news.. bundle bandits being bandits!

Note: Puddle was removed because they didn't have the right to sell it, not because it sold out..

LMAO!

A bundle running out of one game. It's happened before (Groupees) but them not having the right is crazy. How did they get keys for it?

This, the email and subsequent hacking, etc. is assuring I'll never buy from these guys.

Don't think you should blame them for the Puddle part.

OK, cool. So at least their not thieves. The hacking thing though makes it still not worth it for me.

Im not even sure it was the email fiasco that caused the hacking. It seemed like it may have started with Babo, who had his account compromised awhile ago. I was under the impression that people that may have purchased games from him in the past were targeted. I could be completely wrong...but thats what I had thought

Holy Schnikes! You won a Steam Box Beta invite, Congrats Spoderman!  {Giant Hug} :grouphug:

I wish we'd been Steam friends before you won... this is a little awkward.

Ah, then we'll see. I think I defriended babo if its the person I'm thinking of. Someone wanted me to be a middle man in a trade with them and he was pretty anal/uptight/annoying about it all so I just said screw it and defriended. This happened a while ago though.

yeah...same thing happened with sunasun. Did you trade with babo?

 
I have no fucking clue who this Babo guy is that you guys are talking about. So if he is somehow connected to the hacking, then I guess I'm safe.
