Keep your wallets close, as the next major Steam sale will be happening soon. As usual, someone has leaked the dates.
In case the tweet vanishes, here they are:
Autumn sale: November 23rd
Winter sale: December 22nd
not that it's unexpected or news really, but here are the dates for the next 2 steam sales :) you're welcome pic.twitter.com/b8M3k2lwYw

While you should always take leaks like this with a pinch of salt, it lines up well with previous years. From what I understand, Valve shares the date with developers in places, so this is likely a screenshot taken from a developer section of Steam.
Personally, I will be looking to finally pick up and try Plague Inc: Evolved, which I've been meaning to for ages. I will also possibly grab Ultimate General: Gettysburg, as someone mentioned recently in our comments how good it is.
What will you be picking up?
Mad Max gave me a lot of unexpected good playing hours, so I can really recommend it.Shadow of Mordor was a bit of a disappointment, I really hope Max is a bit more fun.
Mad Max was more Ubisoft Formula and thus less fun for me. Played Shadow of Mordor to the end (mostly ignoring tedious icon removal work in the later half), but not Mad Max.

I never got into Shadow of Mordor, while I just finished the story of Mad Max (having plently of Motivation left to max out the car, and to do all the remaining side quests) :)
I can't help thinking that Mad Max in the hands of Gearbox (Borderlands, Borderlands 2) would have been much more interesting.
Tons of good games on my wishlist so I'll have plenty to choose from. I'll probably have to skip the autumn sale, but I'm hoping to bag Rocket League and/or Mad Max around Christmas. SHENZHEN I/O looks awesome as well.Mad Max gave me a lot of unexpected good playing hours, so I can really recommend it.
I think the same. I find Mad Max much more fun than Shadow of Mordor.
Shadow of Mordor is a good game but it turns really repetitive and it's boring that you don't see any changes or consequences in your map doing missions. For example you have some missions like enter to an orc's camp and kill some enemies fighting or poisoning the grog. After the succesful mision the camp is still full of orcs, nothings change. In Mad Max you have some similar missions but if you kill all the enemies from some camp you actually take that place for your allies and then you can enter there every time that you need fuel or water.
Also in Mad Max the map is bigger and more varied. You can find secret places with different enemies, items, or cars.
PS: Sorry for my bad English.
