Steam Summer Sale 2013

The latest flash sale finally prompted me to pick up Dark Souls which I'd avoided since my backlog is already far too large - damn you, steam :).

Now I can look forward to experiencing the frustration, challenges and anguish that others here seem to enjoy so much. Then, once GfWL is working, I'll be able to enjoy the game itself!

My card has been blocked by the anti-fraud system (lol).

They don't want my money.

I keep getting a message that my credit card has been "declined by my credit card company". What the hell?

edit: ok, I made my purchase (BL2) though PayPal instead. Paypal luckily didn't have any trouble accepting my creditcard. Bleh. :erg:

Same thing happened with me. Going through paypal instead worked perfectly so I wonder if the problem is that my bank doesn't trust steam for some reason (perhaps there's been lots of steam fraud?)

I got that problem too trying to get Hotline Miami for a friend. Ended up using my Steam wallet fund, which means I'll have to go and pick up another giftcard I think if I'm gonna afford Metro. This actually happens a lot during the big fuckoff sales, I think it's because Steam is having trouble processing all these purchases but doesn't have a dedicated error message.

Awesome that so many people are buying Dark Souls. I'm just on a second run through myself, so if you all add me on GfWL (Wrong1Fisle) and install (http://darksouls.nexusmods.com/mods/19/?) DSFix and the (https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdarksouls.nexusmods.com%2Fmods%2F334%2F&ei=TNLfUa3VJIy10QXrgoBQ&usg=AFQjCNEDrCeByWkOYytoEnAWLRyPLOoWKg&sig2=gKr1h8jxCwd64fRoK5D6pw&bvm=bv.48705608,d.d2k) Dark Souls Connectivity Fix, I'll be more than happy to help you out with any parts of the game (cough...Capra Demon...cough) that have you throwing your gamepads at the wall.

Zomg the sales FINALLY on :D.

Picked up Bioshock Infinite since it's 50% off. Everyone keeps raving about that game so figured meh why not. Gained 3 trade cards in the process. No idea at all how those work.

The 3 cards include:

* Skyrim
* Torchlight 2
* Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

System Shock 2 is also on sale. In case you didn't have it already. :joke:
