Steam Summer Sale

I thought I would take a break from writing about The Witcher 3 (still playing it and having a blast).  Chances are I will write more about it because it is my main focus at the moment but for now, to other news!

Praise Gabe...bringing us amazing deals!

A couple of days ago there were several news stories about the accidental leak of the dates of the Steam Summer Sale.  Steam sales are a magical time where you can stock your gaming library with some great games for dirt cheap.  It's also a time when you can make your pile o' shame a little higher.  (I'm a sucker for $2 games that usually end up unplayed) The leaked dates are June 11th to June 20th with a two additional "encore days" to pick up any great deals that you missed.

My wishlist has a few games on it that I am hoping to grab on the cheap.  There are several indies that I would like to grab for a few bucks.  I'm intrigued by the Cities:  Skylines game but the simulation genre is one that I have mixed experience with.  One game I am hoping will be a featured sale is Pillars of Eternity.  I read a really great article about it and think a big, gorgeous RPG is perfect for my long summer days.  (Divinity:  Original Sin is one of the stars in my pile o' shame--I'm probably 80% done with it, but just can't make myself finish the rest...it's one of my goals for this summer).

So pool your resources and get prepared for the spending spree that is the Summer Sale.  I know I will be anxiously watching the deals and hoping to check off a few games I have been wanting to play.
