yes!! i diiiiid it!!!! went through all the sale and only bought 2 games

yay! good for me!

OMD2 complete 2 pack + awesomenauts 3 pack were the games, that i got with friends so they costed me even less

It gets easier each sale. They seemingly put every game on sale, so you end up buying most of the games you want.

Thanks KaOTiK and LessThanDan. Since the Winter sale is so close, I'll pass on everything else I was going to buy, including the Batman games and Alan Wake and hope they come up for sale in a month. I'm sure Skyrim and Chivalry (only $15 at gmg with GMG25-G4VDR-0ZL4Q, woot) will keep me busy anyway. Plus all the backlog games if worse comes to worst.

Total damage:
Magic: The Gathering $5
Skyrim $22.50
Chivalry $15

How about Witcher 2? It's 75% and as you said before:

oh and BTW witcher 2 is 66% AND its now only 30USD base (it was 40 or 50 in the summer sale), but im pretty sure it will be 75% soon

ill probably get it when it gets to that point.

Witcher 2
Legend of Grimrock
Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion

Hopefully I will be stronger at Christmas, but I want my Heroes 6 so bad!

That's crazy. Are they all good or do you just compulsively buy things on sale, lol?

I was able to get a lot of the more expensive titles for cheaper due to a friend who can buy them in another region for cheaper and gift them to me.

A lot of the games were 75+% off and were $2.50 or under. I only bought stuff I had interest in or looked neat. I figure even if I play and don't like a game for say 15-20 mins, it really isn't a big deal considering I spent so little on it to start with (stuff more than $5 I feel more confident in and know before hand I wanted or was interested in).

Only 23 more days until Steam Christmas Sale!

lol ain't that the truth

Thankfully my list is smaller and the Holiday sale shouldn't be as bad. There is a good hanful of games I want that weren't a daily/flash deal for this sale. Mainly a couple of Ubisoft titles I was hoping to see.

I have a few also. We haven't seen a sale on FTL yet!
I simply can't bring myself to pay full price for a game anymore. It is hard to justify paying full price for a new game when I have 100+ games waiting for me to get to.

That's me as well. That's why I didn't get a thing during the Autumn sale.

It was hard: OMD2 and Grimrock are both on my wishlist. And they were dirt cheap. But I think we'll see them on sale again during the Holidays.

i always have the dilemma of...

"i want this game but i have many others to play before... but its 75% AND its doesnt look like the base price is gonna go down... so why WOULDNT i buy it now? its not gonna get any cheaper next sale"

and i end up not buying it...


edit: oh and offtopic... i have a question regarding steam... can i have my steam accoutn logged in a pc downloading stuff and the accoutn logged in another pc to play them... if i go into offline mode can i still download stuff?

You can have one PC with your account in offline mode to play them but obviously since it is offline on that PC you can download there. You can have that same account on another PC online and downloading while it is also offline on the other PC.

My laptop has my account in offline mode while my desktop has my account always on.

Thanks KaotiK, but as far as i know you need to be online to be able to be offline right?

Or you can have steam turn on IN offline mode?
