Cave Story is pretty short, you could probably do that one first and then start on the Carpe Fulgur things. (I know I spent like ~30 hours with Recettear at LEAST.) Honestly, there is no wrong answer! :P

I'm struggling to not buy anything else until I beat another game or else my Backloggery's unfinished games list will get to 60 and that's way too high. T_T But the Dragon Age: Origins pack looks so tempting!
Well, if it makes deciding any easier, as much as I like DA : O, the game itself, with all of the DLC, is 24 GB installed.

On the otherhand, the experience is much better than that of the console versions, plus there's the modding (which is definitely worth checking out).

Ooh, ouch. :( I think I'd have to move my steam install off my SSD for that. My roommates have the console version but I played the console version of DA2 and hated it because two or three quests glitched--would've been find if I was on PC since I could just console past them and continue the chain but... <_<

Maybe I'll hold off on that for now then, but I'll definitely keep it in mind. Thank you!

I've been eyeing the Puzzle Agent games, Recettear, Braid, Machinarium, Osmos, VVVVVV, LIMBO, BIT.TRIP.RUNNER, Cave Story +, and Aquaria kinda off and on.

Just... can't seem to commit to it though. Even when on sale. *is weird*. I don't really like gaming on my computer but I think my computer would handle the above without dying hopefully XD

Meant to download a demo for Recettear tonight, didn't get around to it. No time tomorrow night, so I guess I won't be exploring that one in depth and potentially buying it.

You really need to keep up with the Humble Bundles. :( Like all of those have been featured in them before, lol.

Yeah I have Braid and Limbo from the last Humble Bundle. Never played Braid and only played Limbo off and on because I get creeped out by it hahaha.

The Carpe Fulgur bundle is going on for 25 hours though! So you should have time to try it :3

Not really. Well, barely. Heading to bed shortly. But, then I don't think I'm back home and able to play tomorrow night until like 10pm, which is doubtful because I'll have some other stuff to work on by midnight

Braid is great, I've had it for a few years. There's no replay value but it's a great puzzler the first time 'round. If you have it, you definitely want to play it.

I just picked up Limbo and bought GTA IV for 5 bucks. Shoulda picked up the Episodes too though. Thinking of buying Super Meat Boy, or maybe Terraria but I already missed that sale.
With everyone else, I'll agree that Braid is awesome. As for Limbo, it's like Braid, but different in genre and mechanics. Just as great, though.

Well, I'm happy. I bought the Orange Box for half-price. I could understand why not Team Fortress 2, but why they didn't give me an extra copy of Portal is beyond me. Anyway, I think I'll hold off playing these games until I can get Half-Life: Source, that way, I can play the (currently-)entire saga in order.

There's no major need. I didn't enjoy what I played of HL1 nearly as much as 2 and you're not really missing much story, just an inside joke or two.

A heads up, HL: Source is the same game with the Source engine. That means smarter AI from opponents. It makes firefights much harder, while the SMG has been nerfed badly. You might want to play the old one unless you're up for a challenge. Either way, HL2 and the Eps are just awesome.

Just started playing Trine 2. WOW, the art direction is just incredible. NOT what I expected. Also pleasantly surprised that none of the games I've bought so far have an issue displaying a 2560x1400 native resolution. I daresay Crysis 2 is going to hurt my graphics card at that res, but that's not its fault. :P

Since around 8pm last night (GMT) I've been picking up games. I've spent just over £11 on
Limbo
Binding of Issac and the DLC
Bastion
and the Ultimate DA: O set.
At £5 with all DLC's I couldn't turn down DA: O, Limbo and Binding of Isaac were both so cheap and I've heard good things about them both (only played Limbo so far and I love it!). And Bastion I saw on a flash deal and I remember critics loving it! It looks up my street gaming wise (I love me some RPG) so for around £2.50 I jumped in.

Yeah the indie games are great because they're sooo cheap in the sale and they're really enjoyable.

Bit.Trip Runner is on a Flash Deal so I caved and bought it for 2.50. I figure I'd spend more than that on food in most places so I'm willing to waste it even if I end up not liking it XD; If Puzzle Agent 2 wins the Community Choice I would be sorely tempted as well.

Thanks for the heads up, but 'm pretty well-aware of HL: Source's significance. I just like doing things authentically. If it were up to me, I'd wait for the Black Mesa mod to be released and just play that instead, but there hasn't been any word on it for ages. So I think I'll just settle for HL: Source.

Also, WOOT! Orange Box gave me the Proof of Purchase on Team Fortress 2! It's not something to be proud of all that much, but I do feel rewarded for making the purchase. =w=

Just picked up the Total war collection. Been so long since I have played them can't wait to delve into them once again.

Next on my list is killing floor then onto the indie games. Looking at binding of Isaac.

I was gutted on last Humble bundle, was waiting till pay day to get it... and it ran out an hour before I got paid... I was gutted.

I just snagged the Tribes Ascend starter pack 'cause I've seen some gameplay of it and figured why not. I also picked up Max Payne and Max Payne 2. After Rockstar's pickup of the series, I did a bit of research on it and they look like good games. I'm gonna play the first two before buying the third straight away, if even at all.

I think I can only limit myself to one or two more games, and I was really hoping I could snag CS:S at 75% off.

The Last Remnant is available for the community vote, and I was always hoping it'd be on the sale. So...for a poor boy, please vote for it ;_; (but what with Conviction up for vote it's unlikely).

I voted for it and so did my boyfriend! He said he was really interested in it and I didn't have any preference for any of the games so I voted for it to help him win what he wanted haha.

If it wins I'll probably pick it up. It was one of those games I planned on getting when I had a 360. Could be neat.
If you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy, and some taste.

Darn, it didn't win :/ Well, either way, the new sales are up. Anyone know if Zeno Clash is any good? I'm thinking about getting it.

Haven't gotten anything today. Even if I don't see anything else I want, I'll be very content with my haul this summer. So much to play!

Tomorrow is probably the last day of the fresh daily deals, right? Anything anyone is desperately hoping goes on sale? (The last day is usually reserved as a "best of" but maybe they won't need to do that since most deals have been repeated through community votes and flash deals. Hmm.)

Steam sales are a perfect way to waste money on a lot of crap that you won't like, or will get tired of in a week.

Edit - I take that back. I've been wanting to get a copy of Crysis 2 and Magicka. Now seems like a good time to.

^ I intentionally avoid that type of stuff, which is pretty easy, as most of the games on sale are good ones that'll last a while.

I WANT DAWN OF WAR II TO GO ON SALE. :( I know it's probably not a hugely popular game but I want to play it with my bf hahaha.
If I remember correctly, it already did. If not, it goes on sale ALL the time for insanely cheap prices, so it shouldn't be a problem.
