    Hmmm...guess I'll install SK and go for that after The Witcher is done downloading.

    ...okay, fine, I'll reinstall SK.

    I'm loving all the indie bundle games I'm finally playing thanks to the holiday achievements.

    Just bought Dungeons of Dredmor too.

    FUCK I'M FALLING DOWN ALL THESE DEALS

    Anyone got any recommendations for interesting games that are on sale right now?

    Personally, I'd have to recommend Recettear, which is 75% off and a very unusual title.

    @Forzare

    All of TV Tropes and like every gamer warned you, bro.

    We all warned you about Steam sales.

    ----

    ^ Yeah.  Recettear is my favorite game there that's currently on sale for today only.

    I also have Chantelise and Portal on my wishlist.  Those are both discounted, to 2.49 and 4.99 respectively.  I might snatch up the first if there's nothing else inviting.

    Give us fire! Give us ruin! Give us our glory!
    ^^You know what the worst part is?

    You like it, don't you?

    Also, Diggle Nog and the Super Meat Boy achievment GET! But I only have 3 lumps of coal and a 50% off Valve coupon to show for it. :\
  • FirebertFirebert
    That's why I'm limiting myself to what I really "need". Which still comes out to more than $23 I don't have.

    By the way, Good Old Games is also having a sale on a bunch of stuff.  This includes both Fallout games, which it's selling for less than Steam.

    Steam price: base price 9.99, sale price 4.99
    GOG price: base price 5.99, sale price 2.99

    (That's for each Fallout game.)

    I think I'm going to get Septerra Core from GOG, and maybe something else.

    They're also offering the Tropico Reloaded bundle, which includes two games and an add-on to one of them.  Also 2.99.

    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    GOG doesn't take my credit card T_T
  • FirebertFirebert
    Thank God I didn't see anything I needed there. Do you want me to go broke?

    ^^ Do you do Paypal?  I could get you something and then you could reimburse me.
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    No, I don't use Paypal.

    ^^^ I actually have a pretty tight budget for myself; liming myself to only about four discounted games in total.  Less if the money is split in wrong ways.

    Then again, it does help that the games I tend to want tend to not be the trendy stuff; it's mostly a handful of older titles and a bunch of indie games.

    Edit: Oh, speaking of wishlist...one of the possible Steam prizes is top 5 games.  brb reordering wishlist
  • FirebertFirebert
    My list is 5, for a total of $23.21. Not too bad, but still...

    ...oh.

    My Steam wishlist has 23 items; there are 4 on my GOG wishlist.

    I pretty much just wishlist everything I might enjoy owning.  I don't actually plan on buying every one of them.

    Edit: lol I had "everyone one"

    Same here, only buying games I'd really like to play right now.
  • BlueeyedratBlueeyedrat
    "I've come to the conclusion that this is a VERY STUPID IDEA."
    I have $10.43 in my Steam wallet, and I'm trying to figure out what games I really want.

    ...

    I DON'T KNOOOW

    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Get Recettear, if you don't have it.

    I should not have bought Dungeons of Dredmor, it looks like it is going to be a major time sink. 
  • glennmagusharveyglennmagusharvey
    Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    I got it unintentionally lol.

    I bought the previous Humble Bundle, and beat the average, and it was added to the Bundle after my purchase.

    So out of the 14 games I just bought, only six of them work on the crappy netbook I am stuck on.  :V
  • glennmagusharveyglennmagusharvey
    Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    Check the stats before you buy next time. :P

    Just wondering, what did you buy and what isn't working?
  • ForzareForzare
    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    WORKING:
    Bit.Trip Runner
    Cave Story
    Dungeons of Dredmor
    NightSky
    Super Meat Boy
    VVVVVV

    NOT WORKING:
    Amnesia: The Dark Descent
    And Yet It Moves
    Cogs
    Crayon Physics Deluxe
    Gratuitous Space Battles
    Hammerfight
    Jamestown
    Shank

    It's only temporary, anyway.  I need to get my good computer fixed, which won't have any problem running any of them.  I just wanted to get them while they were cheap.

    First one there isn't surprising. Amnesia's quite pretty, especially considering that it's an indie game.
  • glennmagusharveyglennmagusharvey
    Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    My computer runs CPD and AYIM just fine.  I don't think they're particularly processor-intensive or graphics-intensive games.  So I'm surprised.

    Again, shitty old netbook.

    That reminds me

    If anybody wants to get me gifts... *nudges Steam Wishlist*
  • glennmagusharveyglennmagusharvey
    Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    Heh, that's partly why my wishlist exists.  Like, frankly, I very unlikely to buy Puzzle Agent 2 or Magicka or Dungeon Defenders or Audiosurf, for example, but if you want to gift them to me, go ahead.

    That said, I do have to keep reordering my wishlist because of the nonzero probability of my winning various Steam giveaways.

    The sales for various games, including Recettear, Chantelise, Dungeons of Dredmor, Lego Batman, Tropico 3 (I think it's that version?), and a few others lasts for another four hours, until 5 PM eastern.
