Steam Summer Sale Day 1: You Know the Drill
Behold! The Steam Summer Sale has arisen, as the prophecy foretold, to begin on this day, the twenty-third in the sixth month of the year two thousand and sixteen. As was foretold, The Great Beast of Discounts shall arrive when the black sky cries crimson tears to reign over us, its humble servants, for a thousand years — or until the fourth day of the seventh month, aka July 4th at 10am PDT. As the humble Shepard of this vast flock, I have fulfilled my duty with an offering of my own making. Gather, my children, and reap what Gabe the Great has bestowed upon us in His endless benevolence. May He live long enough to finish a trilogy. Praise be, praise be.
There are thousands of deals on Steam right now, these are just a handful of the best ones I was able to find. For the rest, head on over to the Summer Sale page.

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
