[up][up] There's still the "Encore" sales, no?

I'll post my haul once that's done for sure, since The Witcher is trying really hard to seduce me.

Also, shouldn't you guys post the price of the whole hauling too? That is, if you're comfortable sharing that info.

There are, but the main sale is over, and if it's not on the main page, it's probably not on sale at all.

Okay, mine...

  • Don't Starve (Didn't go on sale for the Steam Sale, and will likely continue to be on the same sale until March. But I did buy it during the period of this sale.)
  • Civilization V DLC, including the Gods & Kings expansion.

One extra thing to add to my list (kinda): I just gifted Don't Starve to my older brother.

During the combined sales seasons from pre-Halloween to New Year's Day, I spent nearly $100. About $10 was spent during the Halloween season (Oct 27 to Nov 1), about $23 during the Thanksgiving season (Nov 22 to 26), and about $50 during the Christmas/NYD season (Dec 20 to Jan 4).

Of these $100, about $50 was gifts that have been or will be given to others. I also received about $25 worth of gifts from others (not counted in my spending total).

About $55 was spent on Steam games (including gifts to others, not including gifts from others, not including Steam keys from non-Steam sources). About half a dollar was regained via the Steam market.

About $11 was spent on Groupees bundles. About $11 was spent on Bundle-in-a-Box bundles. About $12.50 was spent at Playism. About $3 was gifted to me via GOG.com. About $16 was spent or gifted to me in Indie Royale bundles.

The most expensive single or inseparable-compound item was a Portal 2 two-pack (via Steam, one gifted of course) at $8.74. The most expensive single item was worth $4.99, a tie between Ys: Origin (via Steam, a gift) and Half-Minute Hero (via Playism, for myself). The bundle containing the greatest number of complete (non-beta) games was the Groupees Build a Greenlight Bundle, containing 11 complete games (I think, plus 3 beta and 1 unreleased) for $5.74, and the greatest number of games per unit money is Bundle-in-a-Box Eclectic Bundle, with 9 games for about $3 (I paid a little over $3.50).

In addition, I got Metro 2033 and three Dungeon Defenders DLC packs for free.

From the amount I spent on myself and from gifts and other free items I received, I acquired 45 games and 7 DLC packs.

The weapons are decent, the air vehicles are fine, but the cars suck. They don't have the ability to be modded and I found they took far shorter a time to blow up than the standard vehicles that I had modded up to the nines.

The quests are quite good though. They are reasonably difficult and have some good rewards in terms of money and respect and stuff like that.

It's worth mentioning the Gentlemen of Steelport mod allows you to customize all land vehicles, including DLC ones. Makes the cars considerably more useful.

@Onyhow: Yeah, I'm wondering if I should jump on that one too. Minecraft with guns, turrets, trench warfare, and jetpacks sounds awesome, but the forums for it and online videos show that it has some serious balance issues and the playerbase ain't very friendly to newbies. Anyone have some first-hand experience to chime in on this one?
