I've got 7 euro, what do I buy?
Jumped on TLR on GMG when I really know I shouldn't. This is really the first summer sale I participated in. I think everybody's first is by far the worst. I ended up spending upwards of $300, but its still a hell of a deal for as much content as I got. There are a few things that I immediately regret getting, such as Anno 2070. I haven't played it yet, but it was pretty expensive compared to everything else.

Well, it's really almost over now.
I held myself back for games like Bioshock pack, ARMA and Witcher 2 (mainly because of a tight budget) but hopefully I can get on them in later opportunity

No, it wasn't unfortunately. That's why I'm going to wait until the winter sale to get them.

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?
I really needed this little surprise after the exam I just took.
I love this community <3.
100% deserved!

Your suffering will be legendary...even in Hell!
Such an unreal game, almost done Episode 2 and I can't wait until they release 3 and the rest. Thank GAF for convincing me to get it!

Was definitely not as excited about this one as previous sales, most likely because of the Amazon sale starting before where I spent $70 and there wasn't as much hype on here.
Steam sale and a few dailies/weekend right before the sale start haul:
Psychonauts
Dungeons of Dredmor
Dawn of War II Gold Edition
Deux Ex HR
Plants Vs Zombies
Ys Oath in Falghana
Bastion
Fallout New Vegas
Civ III Complete
The Witcher EE
Probably only spent $35, but other then Plants vs Zombies, all games I have never really played much of. Will buy stuff like Batman and the Witcher 2 during the Winter sale.

Bought the Longest Journey and sort of regret it as it exemplifies perfectly why I like to buy older games on GOG. GOG actually puts in time to make sure the game is free of compatibility issues whereas on Steam, it's just thrown up there. Within the first scene of the game, there were some graphical flickering (the tree which was pertinent to the first puzzle).

We have a thread dedicated to nothing but that topic.
Definitely mod the UI (I use the DarnUI, but others use MTUI). I'd get a texture pack pretty quickly as well (NMCs is the most popular.)

You're making me want to give it another shot :O
Combat felt really boring about 2 hours in, but after playing Alan Wake to completion it'd be hypocritical of me to not give Bastion another chance

Now please, enjoy one of the best games of (2011) 2012!
Yes, please give it a bit more time! When idols starts picking up, activate them and start enjoying the amazing experience that is Bastion!
