Steam will now email you if an item on your wish list goes on sale. Make sure it's enabled in your Steam account email preferences. This way you can just add all the games you actually want to your wish list, and only have to check sales when you get an email.
You win some, you lose some. This should even out over the course of your life when balanced against times you decided to wait a day before buying a game and the *poof* wow now it's on sale!

True but it really burns when you buy something and less than 24 hours later it is 75% off.
Which leads to the related problem of never paying more than the lowest price you have seen. There are games I want but will not buy until they hit their lowest historical price point.
My new policy is basically "all games cost $20", or conversely "don't buy games that you wouldn't spend $20 on". Any game that is worth playing is worth $20, if you pay less, that's a bonus, if you pay more, that's your choice.
I bought Deus Ex: Human Revolution for $50 sight unseen and I totally enjoyed it, even though I could have gotten it for $20 6 months later.
There are certain games worth an up-front investment. Particularly multiplayer ones. Most everything else I can wait for a deal, unless I'm extremely invested in a series or genre.
Anybody want Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Crayon Physics Deluxe, or Cogs? I got them in a past Humble Bundle but I already had them and I'm feeling generous.
Also thanks ROE for giving me a game as well even though I have no idea what it is besides a Rube Goldberg machine to kill a cat or something.
That is absolutely what it is. Also it uses non-deterministic physics. Maybe the best way to describe it would be to call it a "fizziks" game. It's also pretty racist, so enjoy it!
I want it but I already have Dungeon Defenders and I don't wanna spend extra just for Grimrock. Anybody planning on buying it that already has Grimrock that could hook me up?
