I get emails when my wishlist items go on sale. There is a setting to tell it to email you, but I don't know what the default is, or where to find it. They've changed the interface since they implemented that feature.[DOUBLEPOST=1371840064][/DOUBLEPOST]
Nevermind, I found it. From Steam, either the program or logged-in at the Steampowered website, your username will be in the upper-right with a drop-down menu. From that menu choose "account details" then "configure your email preferences" in the column on the right. There you can check to make sure you're set to receive emails when a game goes on sale.

Welp #2, never mind it just now went to 75% off for today only - packaged with all the DLC it comes to 20 bucks.
Same, I have a bunch of stuff on my wishlist that went on sale without me knowing it.[DOUBLEPOST=1371871987][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh, and Skulls of the Shogun is up for pre-order and if you pre-purchase you get access to the beta, which as far as I can tell is the full game. I already started the campaign mode.
This is one that I'd love to play some HFers with.
Two packs over at GOG:
ANACHRONOX
DEUS EX 2: INVISIBLE WAR
DEUS EX™ GOTY EDITION
THIEF™ 2: THE METAL AGE
THIEF™ GOLD
THIEF™ 3: DEADLY SHADOWS
DAIKATANA
all together for $15.43
INQUISITOR
DRIFTMOON
TORCHLIGHT
DIVINITY 2: DEVELOPER'S CUT
LEGEND OF GRIMROCK
all together for $19.95
That first one's pretty amazing - Deus Ex and Thief all bundled up for $15 is madness, dollar-per-hour wise.
The second pack is neat, but I'm pretty sure everyone who could possibly want either Torchlight or Legend of Grimrock has it by now

I just mentioned Anachronox in another thread. It is one of my all time favorite games and it was criminally overlooked. Unfortunately games of that era don't age very well as they are from the dark age of 3D technology. However, in the case of Anacronox, I'm willing to overlook the crap graphics for how awesome the game is.

Deus Ex may be the most perfect game ever made.
However, the inclusion of Deus Ex 2 and Daikatana should be seen as affronts to humanity, and they should pay -you- to download those trainwrecks.
Deus Ex is a strange game. Taken piece by piece, the game itself is mediocre at best. The voice acting is about the worst a game can have. The combat is terrible even for it's time. The level design is good, but nothing great. The RPG elements are unnecessarily punishing. The storyline is even just mostly cliched conspiracy theory stuff. Yet, you put it all together and you get one of the best games ever made.

You're doing it right.

Boy, You said it. My dad's birthday is on the 8th, I'm hoping to pick up his present that way. If not... Welp, Amazon Bucks it will be.
last day of the GOG Summer Sale, includes all previous days' packs, as well as a whole lot of other packs and sets of games at up to -85%; plus a host of other single games at -25%, -50% and -66%.
Inludes a bunch of indie and more modern games as well. I'm too lazy (and, seriously, there're too many) to list them all but the ones I think are most interesting are all of the above, plus:
Back to the Future - Telltale games - the 5 episodes all together for $3.74
Tales of Monkey Island - Telltale games - all the episodes for $5.24
Wallace and Grommit - Telltale - all the episodes - $2.99
Three packs of Sam and Max - Telltale Games - per pack of 5 episodes - $4.49 or $5.24
(those above mean that for ALL of Telltale Games' episodic games so far together, you'd have to pay about $25. That's a ridiculous amount of playtime for the price)
Library of Myst - the 5 Myst games for $9.45
Ultima 1-9 + Ultima Underground 1-2 for $8.94
Bullfrog Classics - Dungeon keeper 1+2, Populous 1-2-3, Syndicate and Syndicate Wars, Theme Hospital, Magic Carpet 1 + 2 -$14.90
The Witcher 2 - $5.99
and so on and so forth. Some may be bested by Steam (Legend of Grimrock, for exaple, is only 50% off), but if you're waiting for interesting deals either on older games or on smaller new games, you'd be mad not to look for a moment.

Oh, these have been on my list to buy for some time, and this is the sort of deal I'd want for them. Time to further enhance the backlog of games I have to play.
EDIT: ...Nope! I am behind the times and missed that one. Oh well, next time Myst games, next time.

This is just wild speculation, but wouldn't it be awesome if the Steam summer sale was late because Valve delayed it to coincide with a Steam Box announcement and pre-order special?
Uh huh... and Half-Life 3 will be the launch title tie-in
