SimonG: I'm actually scaling down. Ultima 9, a few indies and the last HiB where the only games I bought in recent weeks. I pretty much have all the games I want.

orcishgamer: Ultima 9? Isn't that about on the same level as MoO3?
I don't know, I never played it. For better or worse, it is part of gaming history and worth being in my "collection".

And I will buy MoO 3 here someday. I had some fun with it when it game out. I won't buy it for ten bucks, however.

Bloodygoodgames: Boxed copies in Bangkok. Technically, they were more expensive (around $10 and $15 I think?), but I've been buying computer games from a dealer at a local mall- for eons who stamps a card every time you buy a game. One full card gives you 300 baht off your next purchase of games (about $10). I had two full cards to use so picked up Settlers 7 and Krater for a very cheap price. I also bought the two Harry Potter Lego games and Dungeon Defenders from him as well. (very happy about Krater, as it's only available download for Steam, and I won't use Steam).

Neobr10: I didn't know that there was a DRM-free version of Krater. I thought it used Steamworks. Oh well, i wish physical games were that cheap here in Brasil. PC games are ok, but console games are insanely expensive. New releases go for around 100 dollars on stores. Nice, uh?
Seriously, dammit! I looked forever to see if that was Steamworks free and was under the exact same impression as you.

Just to be clear, it's a part of gaming history like... oh you know what, that's tasteless, even for me:)

CymTyr: I don't know how much you'd call it a spending binge, but I did pick up Driver: San Francisco for $1. Other than that, no, Guild Wars 2 was purchased as a birthday gift in May, and the rest of the games I have been playing this summer I've already owned or were given to me as gifts.

orcishgamer: So, have you been playing this weekend? Early access, right?
Yep :) Playing GW2 and loving the everloving gob out of it.

Wasn't there a sale where you actually got paid to take MoO3? I think that's how I got my copy.

Yes, one of those 30% on select titles / 50% for everything sales: if you needed at least three other titles to get the entire pack, MoO3 actually reduced the total. That's when I got it, too. (I suspect many people got Ultima 9 for the same reason.)

Ah yes, that was it. I think I also got Temple of Elemental Evil in one of those sales.

It is not as bad. MOO3 is not a bad game either, once you fan-patch/mod it, but Ultima 9 is playable once the ordinary patches are applied.


Let's see:
Humble Bundle
Indie Gala
Be Mine (bundle)
Krater

So not too bad

The summer sales went already, I bought enough then.

After them I got the latest Humble Bundle, and some of the recent GOG releases/promos. Which reminds me, I should download some of them now while I am still at work. I hope they'd download even faster here, let's see. Too bad I can't do the same for Steam (can't connect to Steam servers from corporate network), so some Steam games are chugging to my laptop now at home, have been doing that since Saturday already.

I pondered about the weekend's Just Cause 1-2 deals on Steam for a bit, but decided to skip them for now. Maybe next time, or not. If I knew they are DRM-free, I probably would have gotten them already now.

Picked up a number of games during the Steam sale:

Portal 2
L.A. Noire
From Dust
The Bard's Tale
Trine 2
Just Cause 2
Universe Sandbox

and grabbed some from Gamersgate as well:

Europa Universalis 3 Chronicles
Titan Quest Gold
The Last Remnant

That's a bit of a binge for me, as I don't generally buy that many games in such a short time period (unless they're bundled such as in the Indie bundles).
