------
108.35 - FUUUUUCK! Why did I add this up! Ironically, the tax rate here is 8.35% so it's like I spent exactly $100 at B&M here.

I still might get a bit more tomorrow, but we'll see how I feel when I wake up and look at that number again.

And I just bought Scribblenauts Unlimited.

My tiny haul:
Just Cause $0.27
System Shock 2 $2.49

Also bought Ticket to Ride, Ticket to Ride USA 1910 DLC, Party of Sin, and Drip Drip (not steam) for $1.69 at Amazon.

I have about $9 in my steam wallet from selling cards during the sale as well, so I guess I did alright.

I haven't bought anything either. Between the freebies from the PS3, and CAG, I decided that I'm not paying more than $15 for $60 game, and no more than $5 for a $20 game. Oh wait, I guess that means I should have bought the ME collection! (Just checked and it's $20 now)

I ended up with XCOM, FTL and Counter Strike:GO

The Steam carriage is turning back into a pumpkin in about 30 minutes if anyone is thinking of any last minute purchases.

I walked away with nothing this sale for three reasons:

1. I've already purchased these games in past summer and winter sales. Steam really needs to add new games into these sales.
2. I've purchased these games on other platforms. I also purchased some of these games cheaper on said platforms (like Doom 3: BFG and Far Cry 3).
3. I didn't really care about the games that were being offered.

I'm just sad I missed the boat on Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 as I would've bought that.

I kinda had fun with it and bought some things even though I own them on a console

Amazon - Indie Combat Pack (and Ticket to Ride) [Download]

Bundlestars - Bundle #7: Indie Jam 2 & The Pure Indie Bundle

There was a point in time where I owned multiple games across multiple platforms, but I stopped due to frustration, especially with that of multiplayer.

... and you should've bought the entire GTA franchise as it was only $5 more.

I already have all the other GTA games from a previous sale

Ended up with:

Alan Wake, Saints Row 3, Sniper Ghost Warrior 2, Fallout New Vegas Ultimate (overall, about $20)

However, I also ordered a new video card and a monitor. Huh...

slightly OT but the Daily Deal is

Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams

80 % off for $2.99 it's a fun platformer and they just updated the game with some remixed levels.

Ended up just sticking with Max Payne 3, XCOM, and Trine 2.

i am proud of my willpower this year. i didn't buy anything. i was tempted big time, but I prevailed. i have a huge steam backlog already.

I just picked up Giana Sisters (thanks to mhg) but other than that I only bought Alan Wake for $4. I was tempted to get Tomb Raider for $12, but I have a lot of stuff unplayed in my library. I probably wouldn't get around to playing it before the winter sale anyway.

My final haul for the sale :
Toki Tori 2
Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 (+ DLC + Prima eGuide)
Bully Scholarship Edition
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing
Worms Revolution (+ Season Pass DLC)
Chivalry : Medieval Warfare

And I suppose you can add Terraria, which was gifted to me -- Thanks Rich!

So not a huge haul this year, but of course that's largely because I already own so many of the featured games on PC, 360 or PS3 already and certainly overpaid for them.

I somehow managed not to buy anything this sale. Maybe next summer.

I still haven't played all the games I got during the last Christmas sale.
