She said her name was "Steam;" that she had a proposition (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/steam-summer-sale-2013) for me and that I'd do well to listen close. Now, I'm no stranger to mysterious women and their troubles, especially since I started putting "We specialize is mysterious women and their troubles" on the advert for the agency, but something about her told me I needed to be careful.
Maybe it was the way she carried herself as she walked to my desk, or the glint off the snubnose revolver tucked beneath her heavy, snow-soaked coat.
"For the next 40 or so hours, Prison Architect (http://store.steampowered.com/app/233450/) costs $19.79," she said. "Assassin's Creed 3 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/208480/) has also been discounted, down to $23.99."
Before I could say anything, she rattled off more alien names and their associated prices: Worms Revolution (http://store.steampowered.com/app/200170/) for $3.73, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (http://store.steampowered.com/app/730/) for $5.09, Omerta: City of Gangsters (http://store.steampowered.com/app/208520/) for $9.99 and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/208580/) for $3.39. I didn't know what any of it meant. I was confused as hell, and she just kept going.
"Saints Row The Third (http://store.steampowered.com/app/55230/) is just $4.99," she said, her voice now a dead, flat monotone. "Meanwhile, Natural Selection 2 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/4920/) is $6.24, Starforge Alpha (http://store.steampowered.com/app/227680/) is $9.99 and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (http://store.steampowered.com/app/212480/) costs just $7.49."
"Lady," I said, "you're an insane person and I want you to get out of my office." It would be hours before I discovered that all of my money had walked out with her.http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)Steam Summer Getaway Sale, day 10: Prison Architect, Assassin's Creed 3, Saints Row The Third and more (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/07/20/steam-summer-getaway-sale-day-10-prison-architect-assassins/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Sat, 20 Jul 2013 16:30:00 EST.
