Gods only knows how, but I managed to not buy a single damn thing during this last Steam sale....

It's good to know that I wasn't the only one who didn't buy a single thing during the last Steam sale.  O0
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Martok

Shoot.  I just realized I may have to retract my earlier statement, as I did pick up the Wrath of Sparta DLC for Rome II Total War.  In fact, I went so far as to take the extremely rare step (for me) of pre-ordering it. 

Granted, I was going to purchase WoS pretty much no matter what.  Ergo, I merely happened to buy it while the Steam sale was going on; I didn't grab it *because* of the Steam sale.  Not sure if that counts.  :-\

You guys that didn't buy anything during the holiday sale make me feel like you are successful AA members giving us alcoholics scornful glances over the tops of your reading glasses and slowly shaking your heads in shame.

GDS_Starfury

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Sir Slash

Hi. My name is Slash. And I'm not a recovering Game-Alohic. I am just VERY cheap. I am however on the 12 Step Program. I keep my credit card 12 steps away from me while I'm on-line to reduce the urge to snap-up every shiny bauble that pops up or is discussed positively here.

to be fair I bought that BioShock 1-2-3 deal back in early December and tried to make do with it.  Now War Thunder came along, and fortunately kept me from buying stuff :)

No scornful glances from me, sir.  More like (as I sit here reading all the games you fellas have purchased) I think to myself, "There but for the grace of God go I..."  ::)

I let the Steam sale have its way with me:

Unity of Command Trilogy
Desktop Dungeons
DCS- Mig-21bis
Risk of Rain
This War of Mine
Battle Academy
Skyrim Legendary
Valiant Hearts
The Wolf Among Us
Dungeon of the Endless
Dungeons of Dredmor Complete
Insurgency
Primordia
Monoco
Endless Legend
Adventurer Manager

The only one I'm disappointed in is Monoco, didn't realize it was so heavily multiplayer focused.

update for those who didn't spend (enough) during the sale:

Steam sale on XPlane 10. At 50% off it's 29 bucks American for another 40 hours or so. You get the Mac and Win versions as well as some love for Tux (and Huw) O0

http://store.steampowered.com/app/292180/

It includes some scenery packs though I'm not sure that they are not part of the regular retail package anyway.

I had to look that up.  Looks like a fun little game.  I'm not sure I'd like it $10 much, but I wish I had seen that on sale.. I might have picked it up for $5 or less.
