So far only the Binding of Issac collection for $2.79, or something like that. I'm mostly waiting for Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, and Saints Row 3, but I might pick up a few more indie games for less than $3 if I see any that look appealing. Also I'm waiting to see if Bioshocks 1 and 2 fall any further. Right now they're 50% off, but Skyrim and a few others fell more today so I'm going to see if they fall more tomorrow. Yeah, I'm a bit behind on the AAA titles...

I got the Indie Bundle 1 primarily for the remastered classic Cave Story+. I also got Binding of Isaac and its DLC to trade for a Strange Rainblower in TF2 (I suspect its market price will go up high).

Edit: I also paid $5 to my Steam wallet for some TF2 stuff on sale.

Total: $17. Wouldn't even empty my wallet, much less my bank account.

Binding of Isaac DLC only atm., but I'm hoping for ARMA 2 so I can play DayZ. (Yes I know its at -20% now but I'm hoping for more, I'm a cheapskate wanna fight about it?)

Told myself I was just going to be picking up Grimrock, Witcher 2, and Arma 2. I've picked up 2/3, let's see if my plan holds true as the sales continue.

Lesee, so far I got:
Max Payne Collection (thats 1 and 2) for $7.50
Legend of Grimrock for $6
The Bindind of Isaac: Wrath of the Lamb DLC for $0.74
Terraria for $2.50
And Alan Wake's American Nightmare for $3.75 (I have it on good authority that its much better than the base game)
Which all in all comes to just over $20 (AUS). Pretty good so far but unfortunately the Witcher has just gone on flash sale and I'm probably going to get it, significantly draining my funds.

Bought Other Side of the Coin. -Magicka

Waiting for Kingdoms of Amular to go on sale b/c I only have 67 steam cred's left and if it doesn't go on sale, I still want to be able to buy it. But God I hope it goes on sale!!

So far, just the indie bundle 2. But I really am having to ration my money, bit broke at the moment so can't afford to snap up all the offers. It's a shame because there really are some good offers on.

Alan Wake up for the community vote! Help an escapist out guys and vote for it.
Done. I have no interest in any of the titles (either own them or played them) so why not.

So far, NOTHING.
Can't tell if amazing restraint or overly picky...

Knights of the old republic has me on the fence though. Heard great things about it but did it age well?

I wasn't going to buy anything,but damn some of those deals are hard to resist.Sam and Max Complete Edition looked like a LOT of fun for 12 bucks(3 series/16 episodes!!!),and From Dust for $3.50 looked pretty epic.

If anyone could recommend me some really nice titles I'd appreciate it. I love Steam sales but I always get so caught up I usually miss the best grabs
My pick of the day is definitely Orcs Must Die. Best impulse buy I ever made. Tropico as well if you like Tycoon-style games.

I couldn't resist buying Max Payne 3 for $30(!) but I also bought AC: Revelations for $13.

Now which one of you chose Plants Vs. Zombies over Super Meat Boy?
Probably people who like Super Meat Boy more than Plants vs Zombies and already owns Super Meat Boy. It's not a popularity contest, it's about what you want to go on sale next and why would you want a game you own to go on sale next over another game you don't own?
Funny thing is... SUPER MEAT BOY is now on sale, 75% off, hidden flash deal!
Not on my end.

I have Sam & Max, KOTOR (who the hell is still running an OS that will run this game), Ys Origin and Brink
Search Super Meat Boy on the store ;). You can thank me later :D Ah, my Windows 7 works great with Kotor.
Ninja'd. KotOR works just fine with Windows 7. When you get to Dantooine there's a feature you have to turn off in an .ini file if you've got an AMD graphics card, but that's literally the only compatibility issue I've ever run into with it. And I'm really not sure what that feature does aside from choking AMD cards on that one planet; the graphics look exactly the same before and after.
I can't even install it on my Windows 7. I have the retail version though, does the Steam version work better?

KOTOR is one of the best games that bioware put out there. I'd say it aged fairly well, the graphics arn't exactly the best by todays standards but the characters and the story are what make their titles so great.

I'd say get it, the asking price isn't exactly sky-high.

I believe there are mods, if you're worried about graphics there has probably been an overhaul I know there have been a load of content adding ones.

I just bought the GOTY edition of Borderlands. My main condition for playing this is to play it with a friend, as I already have it for Xbox, and playing alone is no fun.
