Steam is having its Perils of Summer Sale until the morning of July 5th. To celebrate America's independence, they want you to stay inside and buy as many games as you can handle. They are giving all sorts of warnings about the dangers of going outside, including bee stings, sunburns, and Bigfoot. But most importantly, they're slashing prices faster than axe murderers slash up funloving teenagers at summer camps.
The sale rotates through different chunks of the Steam library each day though, so each sale is one day only. I've already seen Osmos go on sale for $2.49, and now it's back on sale again, for $5.00 this time. So some games will be getting multiple sales. And it's not all just AMAZING indie bundles either. All Ubisoft games are 33% off, all Atari games are up to 66% off, and all Codemasters games are 66% off. And it looks like it's getting crazier each day.
Here are some hightlights of the sales going on today, for the next 16 hours anyway.
Ghost Master: $0.95 (81% off)

And that's not even half the sales going on for the next 16 hours. You should probably just get over there. I just picked up Max and the Magic Marker, and we'll see if I can hold off until tomorrow's sale without buying everything else.
