On the right side of the main store page you should see a plot of the current user numbers. That's a pretty good indicator of whether it's just you or if Steam is down.

It's Valve. They answer to nobody. Seriously. Nobody. It's like that weird movie, Cube, where this massive maze of death traps was built and nobody knew why.

I hear they're adding ponycorns to every game.

Every game. Are you ready for Amnesia: The Dark Descent into SHINYHAPPYPONYLOVE?

To say it again: come the Winter Sale, there's almost nothing left that I want to buy. Years of Steam Sales have done their job!

I used to be like you. Then I joined this community and started buying games for other people.

My gosh, between sales, and gifts and contests, I think I'm am stocked on games for, I dunno...eternity.

I still find all of you gentlemen ponycorners to be disturbing however. I'm very worried about you. In that 1950's furrowed brow, "What is the Beaver doing?" sort of way.

That's right, your ponycorn habits have made me wear an apron and cook a pot roast. I hope you're all happy. If this keeps going, I'll have to make cookies. And then bread. When will the madness end, I ask you? When. Will. The. Madness. End.

I would like some cookies.

I bred my second level 5 pony last night!

I told Duckilama that when I got back from the writer's retreat, I was starting a quest to find unicorn cookie cutters, and a healthy supply of sparkle dust.

Bought:

Civ V Gods and Kings- $22
Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai- $15
Dragon Age Ultimate Edition - $10
Alan Wake - $10
Limbo - $5
Saints Row 3 - $12

Received:

Victoria 2 - thanks Hip Gamer

Gifted:

Napoleon Total War to Hip Gamer

Somehow got out of the sale well under $100. I think it helped when I told my wife I was going to buy Arkham City and she asked, did you ever finish the first one?

If they add ponycorn hats to TF2, I'm out.

Maybe at Dr Awkward's next S&T we can have ponycorn cookies! Last couple years were Portal related, I think it's time to switch it up some.

You know, I'm picturing ponycorns as the monsters in Amnesia, and I'm not going to lie: that actually sounds like it might actually make the game scarier.

Apparently the pyro update was a glimpse into the future by Valve.

Shambling towards you, limbs moving in ways that no bone structure could support, begging for the bucket and brush.

Unicows?

THE HERETICS THEY MUST BURN ALL HAIL PONYCORNS AND PONYCORNS ONLY.

Yeah, you're about a month late on that.

I was immune to prior steam sales. Typically I gift a handful or two of games to others. But this year? This year I bought:

- Crusader Kings II and the insane DLC
- Dead Island
- Payday: The Heist
- Atom Zombie Smasher
- Trine 2
- Port Royale III
- Warhammer 40k: Space Marine
- Nexus the Jupiter Incident
- Warlock: Master of the Arcane

I was generously gifted
- Grimrock
- Deus Ex:HR
- Orcs Must Die
- Sins: Rebellion

That's more games in a week, than I have purchased in the last two years across PC/OS X/Xbox/Wii.

To say nothing of the MANY copies I gifted of all of the above and then some.

STEAM HAS ALL MY MONIES! And apparently all of my upcoming free time. Considering I get in 2-3 hours of gaming a week...
