Let's get this thing going. Post the games you're curious about and the ones you've already bought. Also Red, I don't know if you still have your laptop but this is a good time to load up on games that you want to play. Games are going to be cheap as hell.
The ones I'm looking at currently are Mass Effect 1-3. The first two are 5 bucks a piece so I think I'm just going to jump on those. The other one I'm looking at is South Park The Stick of Truth.

Just so everyone knows, for lots of different reasons Valve have completely changed how sales work. In the past, you'd have daily deals (which lasted for 24 hour periods), flash sales (8 hours a piece), and community choice events (where you'd vote on one of three games to go on sale for a higher % off, then it'd be on sale for 8 hours afterwards). This summer, NONE OF THAT IS HAPPENING. EVERYTHING ON SALE TODAY WILL BE THE SAME PRICE* THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SALE, UNTIL JULY 4TH. There's also no sale-related minigame, but that's less of a loss IMO.
*There have been reports that in the winter sale, which functioned the same as this one will, a few games that were on sale at the start suddenly stopped being on sale. There are also reports that prices dropped for a few games during the sale. I can't personally confirm these and haven't seen compelling evidence that it actually happened.

I've already picked up a few games. My brother's friend told me about Ultimate Horse Chicken so I grabbed that and BC2. I am also looking at Salt and Sanctuary and This War of Mine. Magicite is also really fun once you get the hang of some of the crafting.
I've actually had my eye on Golf with Your Friends as well because I love mini-golf! But, like most things, I am probably way worse in video game form.

Good call on the golf with friends, never heard of it until you said something. Watched some videos and for $5 bucks it looks like it would be cheaper and make me laugh more then a good comedy at the movie theater

So I went ahead and got Salt and Sanctuary earlier today, and it's a very good game. It gets marketed as a 2D Dark Souls a lot, and speaking as someone who's played Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin, and Dark Souls 3, I can say that it very much deserves that comparison. Some of the game mechanics are almost completely the same as the Dark Souls game.
Combat feels good, although I feel like there's a bit of input delay on controllers (though I could just not be managing my stamina very well yet, so don't take my word on that). The upgrade system is pretty intuitive so far, and leveling up is straightforward. The only thing that feels a bit overwhelming at the start is the skills management thing, because it's a huge web of skills you can unlock and you get the materials to unlock them way before you've been exposed to a lot of the enemies/weapons you'll find later in the game. For example, had I known I'd have found a great, high-damage polearm in the third stage of the game, I would've unlocked the polearm skill. Now, however, I don't know how to get any more of the skill material to unlock it, so I'm kinda stuck.
But that's quite similar to Dark Souls, so no major complaints. Probably time to start a new character now that I have a feel for the game.

Just watched the video for Magicite and it looks pretty neat. I really need to get an xbone controller to play these games.

Magicite is with keyboard and mouse. I have an extra copy if you want it.

Thanks for the offer but I decided to skip on this game. The three games I bought should be good enough to last me a while

Good to hear. I was planning to give it to my brother but thought I'd offer in case you'd want to join the other boys and me.

so just dropped 50 on some new games. Rebought Castle Crashers, Portal 1/2, and BC2, along with some of my weeb games I've just been waiting for a good enough sale to make my wallet not cry. Thought about springing for ARK: Survival Evovled, but still not fully sure on it.

I squeeze my jubblies... silly.
I'm ok with jubblies.

Handy, I'm super excited that you got a bunch of games! Will you buy Ultimate Chicken Horse as well? Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes looks like a pretty fun party game.
I think you would have to play it with a pretty chill group because that game looks super stressful.
