A few games on my wishlist have some nice discounts, but I'm buying a new graphics card next week so I can't really justify any purchases right now.

Also, the sale page seems to be broken at the moment.

Gus likes to do shadow puppets with a certain part of his body.

He does a pretty good Arrakis/Dune Great Sand Worm shadow puppet.

Well there's a few games on my list on sale...The Witcher III, State of Decay, Victor Vran, Plague, Inc...and Betrayer.

But none are really screaming out to me at the moment.

I grabbed Binding of Isaac  Rebirth / afterbirth. Probably my favorite roguelike so far. It's also a TON easier than the original BOI - I beat Mom in Rebirth on my first run through - vanilla Isaac I only beat her once through the whole time playing (at least 100+ runs)

Wow, really?  I liked vanilla BoI but I thought it was bastard hard.  I never got anywhere near the end of it.

Agreed Huw - I literally mean I beat it once in who  knows how many runs. I got lucky on both my treasure room drops and devil  deals and I was boss with the amount of damage I could cause.

In BOI - Rebirth the synergies between the powers is much much better. plus there are some bosses that are cake now compared to vanilla. Gurdy is good example...in vanilla 9/10 times Gurdy was death to me. I've beaten Gurdy 2x in Rebirth now without taking damage. I imagine it gets harder if you are looking for a 100% clear.

Anyone play State of Decay? I've read some good things.

Picked up DCS A-10A for $7, plus I had $1.50 in my wallet from trading card sales. 

I've had my eye on UH-1, but even at 20% off, the $40 price tag is still a lot.

It's fun. Use the campaign just long enough to get a handle on how it plays, then go Sandbox mode.

I had a lot of fun with it - good single player zombie bashing with the interesting wrinkle that stuff continues to happen when you are not playing.

Have been loving 7 Days to Die for weeks now. My first time ever playing a zombie themed video game (didn't get off on any of the handful of zombie themed boardgames I've tried). Picked up State of Decay. Will see if my zombie luv is a one time affair.  :knuppel2:

I did for a couple of hours, then shelved it. It wasn't bad but it really didn't grab me.

Bought Arma 2: Complete Collection.

And just ordered a 128 GB SSD to add to my aging i7-920 PC. I plan to move my most played games there.

To be honest, I didn't even really look at the sales.....Steam has so many products on sale at the same time, it is too much of a chore to look through everything to see if on sale.  I know there are tools out there to make it a little easier, but still not worth my effort anymore.  Plus, things are on sale so much throughout the year on various sites, not as exciting as it use to be for me anyway:)

I just started using the Wishlist and try to keep it to 10 games maximum...and most of those are future releases anyway.
