Steam Sale Reconsidered pt 1

No sooner did I hit the "Publish" button did my wife walk into the room and ask about the Steam sale.  Apparently, now I can get "something" from the store.  The only problem is there is less than fours hours left in the sale (though on the Steam frontpage the countdown timer says "New Deal Starts In", which is maddening).
