Well well, looks like I won't make it past Time Commando, it's not exactly flying off the shelves, it seems... If The bard's tale pops up in the next couple of hours and someone would have the kindness to grab a copy for me that would be greatly appreciated (will figure out some way to repay).

Edit:
Nvm, I'm back :)

Ok so since the game of buying games has slowed, I'm going to start another to keep myself occupied in the meantime...

It's going to be interactive trivia and I'm making it up as I go along.

1/ The first to get to...3 points gets a choice of a gift code off my list, and I have some that aren't even in this sale.

2/ Each question is worth one point and has a bonus point question. The bonus point is only on offer to the first correct answer, so those that know the answers rather than use Google should get it.

For example - In what year was Ultima 4 released? Bonus: Name 4 possible party members(not including The Avatar)?

If someone answers first with "1985. Shamino, Iolo, Dupre, Jaana" then they get 2 points but ONLY if they answer before someone answers the first question.

ie if the answers come out as:

1. 1986
2. 1985. Shamino, Iolo, Dupre, Jaana
3. 1985

then answer 2 gets 2 points as the first was incorrect whereas in this example:

1. 1985
2. 1985. Shamino, Iolo, Dupre, Jaana
3. 1985

the first answer gets 1 point and the 2nd none. So there's a bit of risk vs reward :) Get your micro skills ready...
Ah yeah, nice progress we have here.

Wed, 14 May 2014 05:49:06 UTC: Time Commando - 75% off ($1.49) - 450

Third round started actually quite fine, and in good pace, but then the infinite time loop began.
Time Commando from the future is running now for almost 5 hours, so the same time as the first 9 games, which by the way sold almost 6 thousand copies in total...
All the Keanes of the world would be very proud! And don`t forget, that not answering humans with over 9000 copies are still to come!

ralfkorrek: I just picked up one Time Commando. This is my good deed of the day, I presume :)
If you pick up eight, you won't have to do anything nice for at least a month. ;-)

mmm... the most difficult part is understanding the rules
Less than 100 copies for TC to go. Maybe I can see the next game before lunch. :)

€: Ah, next one will probably be Evil Genius. Hmpf.

You go George! Nice creativity :)

Ungunbu: mmm... the most difficult part is understanding the rules
Lol, I fully agree with you :)
why the heck someone would buy tome on steam since it's a free game?

triock: Geez, only 15 games in 3rd round so far, that's slow.
Hey, where is everyone getting this information about "rounds" and how many games have been up for sale? Do you also know the games that have been for sale in those rounds? I'm assuming you haven't been sitting in front of your computer watching since the sale started. :)

Is there a prophet out there who can tell me what percentage of the sale's time has been used up by "Time Commando"? It's getting so bad I'm beginning to think that they are just trying to sell that game to me personally!

your assumption is wrong -- we have been sitting here
Sort of illustrated the round 3 patterns for you guys:

First correct answer gets 1 point. If said answer also answers the bonus question, it gets more points.

If the first correct answer doesn't contain the answers to the bonus question(s), those are lost.
