I will not be updating every Daily/Weekly/etc. sale. The tools to help individuals become a smarter shopper will be provided below.

What season passes would you have to get to have all the tables that are going to disappear?

From https://techraptor.net/content/pinball-arcade-removing-50-tables :

New owners interested in grabbing these soon to be delisted pins will need to pay full price, as FarSight’s licensing agreement have barred them from offering any discounts

Ummm....if the Season packs are combos between Williams and others, why (as Madjoki said) can't they lower the non-Williams games and therefore lower the total price of the Season pack.....that seems like a bizarre licensing agreement that would dictate (no) discounts....

Appears to be most seasons (games are spread across seasons 1 - 7:

So apparently Green Man Gaming is running a Birthday Sale right now.  They're doing 8-hour Flash Deals and 24 hour deals, both of which come with a free mystery gift.  And there's also a sitewide 25% off coupon that can be applied as well (don't know if there are any restrictions on this).

Full price is bad. That price is ridiculous.
 
Missing 3, 4 and 6......I think I may just get 3/4 and skip 6...haha...I don't really know any of those tables.

Also i'm going to do an experiment. Every day I'm going to try a new random game from my Steam library, using a random picker, and will give my 15 minute impressions. This hopefully will be entertaining and helpful to others, plus it will get more of my library played. I will obviously have some blips for holidays like Christmas and such, but for the most part going to keep that schedule.

Also about 20 minutes of programming learning, but that's something else entirely. I'm focusing on Python for that, as I already have the skills....just want to be able to use them on a moments notice haha.

Is it crazy that among all those "leaked" games, the one I'd be most excited about is Rage 2? Alright, maybe I'd rather have Splinter Cell if it was more Chaos Theory than Blacklist, but the possibility that Rage 2 is in the works makes me really happy (assuming they remember to give it an ending).

 
RAGE did a lot of things right but was undercut by poor design decisions like: MEGATEXTURES(!!!), putting quests in the same dungeons/level but having you backtrack it/go in reverse, overemphasis on driving/racing, spending resources on these mutliplayer/co-op levels that maybe 5% of the playerbase experienced, mediocre AI, crappy rushed ending, etc.

I thought the setting was good, the mini-quest system was fine, and the gadgets were nice.  If they focus more on that then RAGE 2 should be pretty good.

Yeah, there were a number of annoying issues with it. Rage was essentially a linear/corridor FPS in an open-world FPS' body and got hampered by poor optimization and questionable design choices. But then I remember the gunplay, sound design, and detailed character models and think that maybe id learned enough from their mistakes to put out a quality sequel.

No, Rage 2 excites me too. I actually really liked the first one, the lack of an ending sucked though obviously. But of the games listed I'd be most excited for Borderlands 3. Rage 2 is probably the most surprising one listed though, imo, and actually the game I'd be 2nd most excited for after BL3.

Rage 2, eh? Oh, heck yes - the first one really needs a follow-up with an actual ending!!! Hopefully, they can get performance under wraps for Rage 2, since that was the real issue w/ Rage 1. The gameplay, gunplay, and (somewhat) open-world stuff for an Id game was awesome.

I'm really stoked for this, as I wasn't sure if we would get another one.

EDIT:

Also really stoked to see Beyond Good & Evil 2 and Borderlands 3 on there.

Is the original Abe's Odyssee way more annoying to play than the remake? I like the grittier look but I don't have much patience for old game jankiness nowadays.

 
I really need to get around to playing RAGE, but I only own it on PS3 and installing anything on PS3 is a hassle.  I'll just wishlist it for the next steam sale.

It's dirt cheap pretty regularly

...and Sony hates it's PS3 owners/users, taking it out on us with it's sluggish online store and terrible download/install speeds, as well as the total lack of external storage to play games from.

RAGE is really good, despite the awful cliffhanger ending that feels like it's setting up for another sequel.

I do recommend you also get Scorchers DLC b/c it also allows you to keep taking on earlier areas, earlier side-missions you might have skipped, and lets you continue playing after you finish the main quest for the base-game and DLC content itself.

Otherwise, only owning RAGE base-game - there is a half-way point where the game will shut you off from traveling to earlier areas to do earlier side missions - so if you missed or skipped some things, the game's basically telling you "Oh, well; too bad." Same at the end - if you only have RAGE base-game, closer to the end, have a save ready before the final mission - b/c once the credits roll and the base game is over over, it's over; you'd need to reload an earlier save to go back into the actual game-world.

Scorchers fixes those stupidities. Not only that, but Scorchers is a 3-5 hours campaign itself w/ its own story that actually has completion to it (story-wise) and has its own boss fight, which RAGE base-game seems to be quite lacking.

I see everyone's hyped about this list that someone posted on the last page, but what the hell is it exactly? The link explained absolutely nothing.

It appears to be a leaked advert (be it paper or website) for upcoming/preorder games. I expect most/all of them to be announced at E3 which is only a month away. That said, I'm sure RAGE 2 is probably a year from release.

RAGE 2 is a pleasant surprise as I don't think anyone was expecting it (I believe the first one had mediocre sales).  The rest are predictable sequels in a long line of sequels.

Fair enough, but that's a very lukewarm endorsement.  We can only hope they abandon a lot of the side-stuff like driving and focus more on the the shooting, level design, and weapons/gadgets.
