Picked up FTL (finally dropped to 75% off instead of just 50%) and Sword of the Stars: The Pit (75% off). I love Rogue games, but not enough to spend too much on them. So that was absolutely fantastic being able to pick those up for cheap.

I grabbed the Van Helsing ARPG today, doesn't seem too shabby so far.
Picked up Deadpool (don't judge me) and got it installed. But it got stuck any time I tried to start it. It would say "Completing installation" (which none of my games ever say, so I'm not sure where that's coming from), then pops up a message saying the servers are too busy to process my request (Error 53). They claim that error 53 is caused by external software and recommend turning off my virus scanning. As if... if your "fix" is to turn my virus protection off, you've got another thing coming.
Other games, including others I've bought during the sale, play fine. I'm reinstalling the game now, see if that helps. Any ideas?

It's probably more likely to be a firewalling issue. Does your virus scanner also do firewalling and can you make an exception for the game?

If it's connecting to a server, it's probably trying to log an install or number of activations for it's DRM. It may be a one time thing, so if you block it from accessing the internet, you won't be able to play it.
Even Steam games need to install/run once before you can put them into offline mode.
I might be the odd one here, but I've bought Euro Truck Simulator 2 and enjoy it quite a bit!
Other than that Steam Sale forced me to spend money on:
- FTL
- Call of Juarez: Gunslinger (really well done story telling and fun game to play)
- Dragon's Lair (seen pictures of this game in early 90' before even having my first computer but never had a chance to play it!)
- ACE Combat: Assault Horizon Enhanced something
- Deadlight
- Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 (enjoyed it quite a bit even though has a lot of flaws, also graphics are quite good to spectacular depending on location)
That's definitely enough to keep me occupied in my spare time for another 10 years
[because of previous Steam sale backlog ]

[because of previous Steam sale backlog ]Yeah I'm considering Dragon's Lair as well, mostly for nostalgia reasons as I recall waiting in line to pay $1 to play it at the arcade when it came out many a moon ago. I have a feeling though that the actual quality of the game will not match my mostly positive recollections of it from back in the early 80s. Hopefully it has a mode where you can just watch it all play through automatically as I remember it being a very difficult game.

you will come to a level where you have to equalise pressure let me know hoy you get past it cos im stuck
In war logs? Can't remember if so...but why not ask youtube?
The game fiction was that the FTL drive being used was causing degradation issues at a much higher rater than normal. It is one of the reasons the ship gets into trouble in fact.
Also weapon degradation applied per shot fired. Laser pistols, on overload, will one shot kill most of the weaker enemies and you can get them pretty early on. My strategy was to carry multiple pistols and shotguns in the inventory at the begning and discard them as they broke till I got the laser pistol. At which point shifting them it overload meant less rounds fired and a lot less weapon breakage.
Your PSI booster doesn't degrade. And the Technician can usually get weapon maintenance cheaply to a high level. Which means you just need to maintain every so often to avoid breakage. It was always the soldier class that found it toughest.
