Your Holiday Sales Damage Thread

[Dammit Carl!]

I did it! I made it through the Steam Autumn sale without buying anything. Praise the Holy Hand Grenade!

Sounds like quitter talk to me.  What you think, boys?

[Sir Slash]

He's a better man than me. But I got a new game to play.

The holiday sale lurks...biding its time, smacking its chops.

[Raied]

Survived the the Steam Autumn sale, 0$ spent... achievement unlocked.... final boss is the Christmas sale.

I just caved on, "To End all Wars". Reading Prit Buttar's book, "Russia's Last Gasp" did it.  :'( And I had been so strong.

Quick reminder for me: was TEAW more stable than WW1 Gold (or whatever the name of the thing was I picked up on Gamergate) or vice-versa?  They looked to be essentially the same game to an extent, minus the changes that are covered elsewhere no doubt.

They are two quite different games.

$0 on PC games.

$500 on board games.

$350 on paints and brushes.


I never, ever should have got back into boardgaming, let alone miniatures....Oh well, on the bright side, this new hobby really limits my chances of having to spend money trying to win over the ladies.

From the prices I have been seeing on boardgames lately that's probably only 5-7 games.

If you are into grinding you can literally pump hundreds of hours into disgaea. Love the series but started to get samey after a while. Phantom brave is also pretty good.

I'd considered Descent, but we went all in on Imperial Assault.  I really enjoy IA, but the setup and storage is a pain.

The one purchase I'm pretty excited about is the Christmas gift from the wife, which is the Big Box El Grande edition.  A classic area control game.  Sure I'd have preferred a true wargame, but beggars cannot be choosers when guiding the family toward genres I like.

I bought Descent on a whim because it was 30% off at a Black Friday sale.  Tried it out solo with the app acting as overlord and really enjoyed it so I grabbed a bunch of the expansions the next day.  Sadly, they don't expand the content available via the app all that much but it's pretty cool nonetheless.
