Solely responsible for the thread on "The Condom Wall."

Something nifty for the Steam Encore sale, which I think is easy to miss:

Civ V Game of the Year edition is available as an upgrade too. So if you own the basic one, switching to GOTY version costs 2.5$ at the moment. Mostly worth it for those who don't own the DLCs yet.

Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic!

That's cool.  It's listed as $5 for the upgrade here though.

Made out relatively unscathed with just FTL.  Great game.  Want to try BL2 and Dishonored but they need to drop a bit more.

Some day I'll get over my hatred of GFWL and get Arkham City.

I'll start buying GFWL and Origin games as soon as I've finished everything on my steam backlog. Should happen *real soon now*.

I did Two Worlds 2, and lucky that was only $7.50 because I didn't really like it.  Also got Awesomenauts, which is fairly fun.  Seems like DOTA2 or LoL gateway drug.  Someone gave me DOTA2 key, so I'll be checking that out.

But my prize was Morrowind for $5.  Haven't played it in maybe 7-8 years.  I installed the 3.0 overhaul, and wow.  They don't make games like this anymore.

Morrowind has a special place in my heart.  I think I've just played it to death, because I can't get going on any recent attemps.  Still haven't beat it.

I picked up Skyrim DLC, Walking Dead (for when I want to get depressed), and Sleeping Dogs (because Valve messed up and had it for $.50).  I'm OK with this.  I might actually play some of it.

Uuuugh. My love of Anno has overcome my hatred of UbiAIDS. Got the expansion pack for $11 or whatever it was. I have really been itching for a city builder and just barely avoided buying towns. I wish prison architect would hurry up and come out.

I grabbed:

- Fortune Summoners
- Chantelise
- Max Payne 3 (gifted to me)
- Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion
- Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition (I suck at using controllers, apparently, and don't know if I'll ever play this again)

That's it. I was actually a bit disappointed in this year's sale. I got most of what I expected to get (Dishonoured and Sleeping Dogs were on my list but one wasn't cheap enough and the other had so much DLC I just said fuck it), but the sheer number of repeats bothered me for some reason.

I got a lot, but I'm too ashamed to admit to all of it. Likely I won't play more than a few games, but who knows I might get laid off.

I did get three that I will fess up to:
- Anno 2070
- Dark Souls
- SoaSE: Rebellion

Enjoying AI-challengers in SoaSE, will try multiplayer sometime.
