So now that Valve is putting up games for fiendishly low prices, what have you guys been buying? And what would you recommend? I recently got a hold of Sanctum and Payday among others. Both a lot of fun although Payday is a bit pricey compared to other games at the moment.

I got Binding of Isaac for $1.24, and Mirror's Edge for $4.99

as for me?
wasted my 20$ before the steam sale thinking it'd be like Episode 3 all over again.
but i did get bastion, BoI: Wrath of the Lamb DLC (do not get until you know you'll last longer than 4-6 floors (or have managed to kill mom 'once') without the DLC) and quantum conundrum with it.
all of them were worth the cash, even without the sale dropping thier prices.

Bought:
- Terraria - $2.49
- Garry's Mod - $2.49
- Portal 2 - $4.99
- Left 4 Dead 2 - $9.99
Stupid moves:
- Bought everything on day one (could of bought L4D2 at $4.99 during the community voting)
- Buying Garry's Mod while only having tf2
- Bought Portal 2 for a friend when I could of bought the 2 copy bundle (F'n idiot)
- Not buying more games!!!
Terraria is so much fun! It's like playing Minecraft, but as a 2-D side-scroller, but MORE AWESOMER (I know that's not a real word)!!! It feels like a never ending progressing game. There is so much stuff to do that you'll have a hard time deciding either to go left or right. Variety of clever weapons and equipments. And there's BOSSES!!! (F'n Skeletron)
I also wanted to buy Amnesia, Limbo, Cave Story, Payday, Dead Space 2, the Arma 2 bundle, Dead Island, maybe even Dungeon Defenders, and so many more...but I only have so little money...and hard drive space xp

You do know that the more you play, the more shit you unlock. Dying is almost a necessity in that game.
But it is all luck though and I see what you mean. You just don't have patience.
Back on topic:
2broke4u
But I did manage to trade for a DOTA 2 invide that I'm trying to trade off for tf2 shit or other games.

Binding of Isaac really is all about luck, that's why I like to play as Cain.
It's not that hard, I've beaten the game 4 times already with only about 30 deaths.
That's way better compared to the videos I've seen.
-
You guys are talking a lot about Binding of Issac. Is it that much of a good game? Cause when I saw the game cover, it looks like a very depressing kind of game, and looks freaky as shit.
-
Well, many find the game disturbing and offensive due to it's religious themes. The game has many religious themed items, like the Bible, which can kill 2 of the bosses in the game. You can even make deals with the devil and "sell your soul" or in this matter, Heart Containers, for cool items/upgrades. You can turn yourself into a demonic spawn of satan, as you try to kill your mom.

Interesting..very interesting! Not the whole religious crap, but overall...
*Checks store page*

I feel the need to clarify that the way Antie portrays it makes it seem evil and horrifying when to me its rather tongue and cheek and funny. There are items like the Shoop da Whoop face and a Unicorn Horn that allows you to demolish everything. Even the more disturbing features like, for example, the Familiars which are fetuses that float around and fire with you, are like little stuffed plushies.
When you put these elements together, It reaches this weird state where you know its disgusting and odd, but you really don't care because you know the game isn't being serious. unless You're some super religious Westboro Baptist person, then you'll hate it more than Satan himself (hurrhurrhurr).

Well not every weird item has a religious theme. There's the wire coat hanger upgrade, that suggests that Isaac was a failed abortion. And the Steven item, which gives Isaac a tumor on his head. Some people may find these items disgusting and offensive, but they were intended to be funny, and they kinda are.
But I think we're getting a little off topic here

Yeah, I think we're on the same page. I just don't want to discourage people from buying it when typing about the themes of the game makes it seem much more disturbing and awful than actually playing it does. Anyways, back to the topic.
I got Worms Reloaded which is a lot of fun! Also considering Borderlands in preparation for Borderlands 2, maybe if it goes on flash sale. c:
-
Bastion, Fallout 3, and New Vegas so far
-
in an attempt to fix the thread derailment i caused earlier on here...
found out i had 50 bucks to spare:
got everything i needed for Magicka *including the game itself and all the DLC for CHEAAAAAP~*
Bastion Soundtrack (Narrator/Rucks alone was cool, but i want to be reminded of his sexy voice whenever i listen to music)
and BLONIC GENA*shot* no... but yes, Sonic Generations, more so for the mods once i beat the game ... how embarrassing...
-
So far Max Payne Bundle, Alan Wake Bundle, Skyrim, and Arkham City, thinking about getting Gotham City Impostors while it's $5.09 but not entirely sure, also considering on buying the Prince of Persia pack while it's $12.24
-
I wanted to see if AoE 3 and Saints Row the 3rd were any good so I went ahead and picked them up. Nothing else really caught my fancy though.
