Final haul. The Longest Journey includes Dreamfall (I will install it after beating TLJ), Binding of Isaac is actually only its DLC since I already had the base game.

Proud of myself. Only bought:

Thief 2 - $2.50

and GMG:

Of course, it will probably be years before I play any of the new games I got. :-/.

Yes. Yes, it is. Some battles later on are intense and extremely satisfying when you win. If you enjoy that feeling at all, get this. It gives you a damn good challenge, and the music definitely adds to the experience. This track plays later in the game when your morale drops to red. That playing while you're losing pumps you up to do better. In fact, the music changing depending on your morale is awesome.

The demo is really only a small taste. You'll get to have fun managing all your different party members with different formations and all the abilities/spells, etc., as the game goes on. And finding most of your party members through sidequests is surprisingly satisfying. I cannot recommend this game enough. You will not regret it for $3.74

Make an exception for The Last remnant! <3 GMG does not equal Gaben! You'll still keep your promise!

What about the story. I play games mainly for story, and the story in TLR seemed uninteresting to me in the demo.
 
I bought a lot more this year than I was planning. The last few sales, I've tried to limit the games I bought to the games I intended on playing in the relatively near future. I worked through a good portion of my backlog over the last few months so, I said "fuck it" this time around and just bought any game I was interested in that I didn't feel was going to drop significantly in future sales or a game I intend to play soon.

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit
Trine 2
The Walking Dead
Hard Reset: Extended edition
Saints Row: The Third
Legend of Grimrock

And
Total War: Shogun 2 - Fall of the Samurai Retail
Binary Domain Retail
from the Amazon Sale


I also bought Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition in a moment of weakness. I already own physical copies of Origins and Awakenings but I bought the Ultimate Edition to get access to the DLC I didn't already own and for the convenience of having the game on Steam.
 
Just got Saint's Row, I had it on XBox already (sold it for more than twice the price I got it for today) but it's a great game and I haven't played any of the dlc. My final haul was:

Saints Row: The Third
Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box
Galactic Civilizations II
Krater
Grand Theft Auto Complete Pack
Sins Trinity
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Bundle
Just Cause 2
The Walking Dead
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
Binding of Isaac Wrath of the Lamb
Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes
Anno 2070 Pack
Legend of Grimrock

I don't want to think about how much I spent but it's the first Steam sale since I've had a decent PC so it's easy enough to justify. All I feel I missed out on was Borderlands and Ys but I'll just wait for BL2 and I'm sure Ys will come up again.

Not a huge sale for me this time around, picked up a Total War game and Torchlight, so total like $8.50.

The better news is my oldest son just turned 10 and as an extra birthday gift I opened up a steam account for him and bought him his first game, Terraria.

Spent 13$ in total.

We don't have "get out of jail free" cards, but if we did, she'd have one.

What should I take out?
Football Manager 2012 because who even cares about soccer Splice sticks out as the worst bargain and one of the more expensive items in your cart, but none of Cipher Prime's games have hit the 75% off mark yet. If you can wait until December, there might be a better discount. At the very least it'll probably be 50% off again.

With the crazy playtimes on FM posted last thread, you might not even miss it.
 

TronLight

Everybody is Mikkelsexual
How is Bully Scolarship Edition?
Is it any good?

Steam hates me, just yesterday I finished Max Payne 2 (masterpiece) and now Max Payne 3 is a deal... Arghhh.

I'm still iffy about Costume Quest. I just don't want to spend anymore money

I hate when people tell me to buy a game I'm not sure I really want, but Costume is absolutely great :) charming, funny, well written, just pure gaming goodness that has you smiling from start to finish. For that price, it's hard to deny that it's a great purchase.

edit: well... maybe not hate.. but I hate that I am so weak I guess and can't resist a deal. lol

edit: also.. wtf going at gmg. Well I got my email receipt for my payment.. but no key? I'm so confused.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
There we go! Finally back home from work, I just wanted to thank everyone for this beautiful community that is SteamGAF. As everyone probably knows by now, I'm new to Steam - and I came to this thread by accidentally clicking on it. Then I got stuck in here.

I want to thank Credo (twice!), Crow, Martin, Panda (x2), Megasoum, Danielsan, Mike, Beast Legacy
and EVERYONE else that gifted me games (sorry, I didn't write down all your names :_:).

But I want to thank everyone for the amazing fun I've had in this thread! It's been a great trip - can't wait to start playing games with ya'll who added me on Steam (Yoshichan on Steam ID!) :3

*hugs and kisses* One last gif just for the sake of it being the last one!
