Since I already had Terraria (got it for my cousin) and I feel bad for it, I have a little contest for you guys.

My name on GAF is Drizzle, and my nickname on Steam is Rain_1.

There's an AIRPLANE game on the Sega Genesis from which my Nickname (Rain) derived from, the same way my neogaf name (Drizzle) derived from Rain.

Name that game and you'll get Trine (the first one)+Shadowgrounds+Shadowgrounds Surivor on Steam.

Edit: Why in the hell did I type helicopter? I'm thinking about choplifter HD... It's an AIRPLANE

Ding ding ding ding

Rain derives from Night Storm the same way Drizzle derives from Rain.

They're all about precipitation, just diminishing intensitty.

Thanks again, people!

That was actually a very good trivia, keep the games for another one, nothing like obscure, oldskool game references. Do another one a little later, for someone that doesn't own the prize. Good stuff!

I wanted rage, but I gambled it would get a %75 discount. I'm sure ill see it on sale again sometime though. Until then I have these to not play.

Oh what the fuck.. :P

pahamrick got it, but doesn't want it.
Johnny Cage liked the puzzle, but doesn't want it.
NSQuote wants Trine and (i think?) guessed as well, but doesn't want the other games.

I've had this Trine since december, since nobody wants it, because they either have one game or the other. Also, this was the best trivia I could come up with (as in, I doubt I can come up with another).

NSQuote can have it, afaik.

It's the trivia madness, I tells ya. I've already got the games, figured Johnny was going crazy because he wanted 'em badly.

It's not that I don't want it, I own the exact same package you are giving away, would be ridiculous to take it from you, unless.. I could've snagged it and done a nice competition of my own later...(after work) ugh....didn't think of that sneakiness...
 
More than I intended, but I just couldn't resist some of them:

Arma II
Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate
Medieval II
Railworks 3 (not sure why)
Bioshock Franchise Pack
Fallout 3: GOTY edition
Killing Floor
Skyrim
Trine 2
Saints Row 3

So I guess a total of $97.44...damn

The bolded are the only ones that I went into the sale actually wanting.
 
I bought like 1 piece of Civ 5 DLC (which of course was in the GOTY edition I'm sure). A few nice deals here and there but I had many of the titles I would have bought already. Disappointed at the discounts on Anno and Witcher 2 (playing this on 360 currently) as well as the Gods and Kings discount which I had intended to buy but did not.

If you didn't buy Football Manager 2012, I pity you!
 
Steam

+ around $50 spent on the amazon sale

edit- removed the amazon stuff from the spreadsheet above but forgot to remove the free stuff
 
Syberia 1 & 2
Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
The Walking Dead
Binding of Isaac: Wrath of the Lamb DLC
Trine 2
Tobe's Vertical Adventure
Faerie Solitaire
Lego Star Wars Saga (Gift)
Devil May Cry 4 (Gift)

Really happy with how this sale turned out. My only regrets are not being able to get Shoot Many Robots and UT 2004.

I used to buy every game that looked like a deal, but now I figure that those games will be there at the next sale and the next one after that, so don't spend stupid amounts of money on stuff I come in knowing I'll never play.

I'm right there with you come next sale. I went way overboard this time, but you live you learn. I am going to have to think about each game if I want to buy it next time, everything adds up so damn fast. I can buy cheap games as much as I want (to an extent), it just come down to how much time do I have, and having to prioritize what game to play. Time is really the limiting factor for me.

Not shown: copies of Audiosurf, Beat Hazard complete, and Just Cause 2 that I gifted away. Half decent haul I think. Still a little miffed that Bad Company 2 was never on sale :/

Basing purchase decisions off IGN review scores is not something you should do.

I liked it quite a bit back in the day. Dunno how well it holds up but I found it very enjoyable at the time of release. If you haven't played KOTOR, it probably won't work as well though I have a feeling.
 
Saint Rows 3 -- Played nonstop, already completed. BEST deal yet. No regret
LA Noire Complete edition/whatever -- Boring. GAF failed me. This is even more boring than GTA 4. Regret total. Already uninstall.
Assassin's Creed Revelation -- Just started playing. We'll see.
Mirror's Edge - Haven't touched yet.

4 Games. Only one total disappointment so far. Good self control this year, me.

I completely agree with you on LA Noire, I bought it on the PS3 months ago and couldn't bring myself to play past the hour mark. I loved Heavy Rain and I usually love anything noire. Even with some weird frame-rate problems Saints Row the Third is some of the most fun I've had this generation.
 
Total : 83 $

not bad

now the hardest part :
playing all of this....
but got 5 hours on Saints Row , fun game :)
I'll never forget the face my GF made when she saw me melee someone with the dildo bat :)

Pleased with that
 
I'm pretty much set on games. I can't see what I would buy at the winter sale beside possibly Borderlands 2.

I refuse to buy Dark Souls for 40 especially with GFWL. If they want to put that in then I'll pickup the game at 20 at most, most likely 15~.
 
I feel pretty good about this sale. This is the first sale I have only bought games I was SURE I wanted and didn't give in to hype. I guess all these crap random Indie games that I will never play in my library finally sunk in. To be fair I did by both Ys games with no previous interest in them but I watched a lot of videos before I felt confident enough to buy.
 
Finished my spending for a while now, just finally added the paradox pack from Amazon (mainly for CKII);

Bought:
Binding of Isaac Wrath of the Lamb
Civilization III: Complete
Civilization IV: The Complete Edition
Civ V Denmark and Explorers Combo Pack DLC
Civ V DLC Babylon

Civ V Korea/Wonders DLC Combo

Magicka Collection
Magicka DLC: The Stars are Left
Serious Sam 3 BFE
SimCity 4 Deluxe
Sword of the Stars Complete Collection
Sword of the Stars II
Trine Bundle
Tropico 4 Bundle
Victoria II

Total of those came to a shade under £40.

Gifts Received:
Bioshock 2
EUIII Chronicles
Mount and Blade: Warband
Red Orchestra

Gifted others:
Frozen Synapse

Space Marine

Played so far: Tropico 4.
