Steam sales, purchase Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut, Torchlight, Torchlight II (all for $10).
2018.10.02
GoG sale, purchased:
Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition,
Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption,
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.
Did I need these, when I already have them in boxes? Probably not but they were $5 or less and it makes a nice backup.

Halloween Steam sale. Got The Swapper, Goat Simulator, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Corinne Cross's Dead & Breakfast, for around $3 each.
I thought I had Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl (the first one), I remember trying it, but its not in my Steam or GoG libraries. And yet here it is installed, with a save game from 2010. Maybe I have a physical copy somewhere. It can wait for the next sale.

Diablo III on sale $9.99, why not.
Wait, what's this Battle Chest for an extra $5... I have to pay extra to get to the last act of the game? Oh, its an expansion. Still a good deal at $14.99. But then there's also the Necromancer add on ($7.49), do I need that... something about extra slots and tabs... might as well go all the way.
Blizzard won't let me put them in the same cart, as one is an expansion.
Done.

Free Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, just needed to create a Bethesda account (I didn't already have one?)
2019.04.03
Rereading my notes for my Fallout New Vegas run of 2016. I would like to start an RPG, but seasonally its time to be outside a lot, and this is making a surprisingly good substitute. I think I should have added more screenshots.
2019.04.11
Reading back, it seems crazy I went to all that trouble to read how to game the system as far as getting money and SPECIAL points early. I should have just played it cold, made mistakes, and enjoyed more discovery. Something to remember if I ever play an RPG again.
2019.04.12
I wish had taken notes while playing about what to do if I ever play this again (maybe I did, and its at the end). Still sad about all those spoilers, it not only ruins your first playthrough, but the subsequent ones where you might have tried different things out.
Instead of scratching the itch to play an RPG, this is just making me want to fire up New Vegas, or maybe 3.
Is it bad to say I like my own writing? Its not really writing, its just a log, but since the audience was always me, I can say it worked.
2019.04.19
That was surprisingly interesting to read through, I remembered a lot of it. What next, maybe start reading the blog from the beginning?
2019.05.12
Steam, Kathy Rain, $2.99.
2019.06.19
Re-reading from the beginning, really enjoying reading about Planescape Torment, and how many memories come back.
Get email that Mafia on sale from Humble, activates on Steam. Let's try it. Create Humble Bundle account, Link Steam Account (I hate cross site linking, and never sign in with Google or Facebook, but I see no way around this).
I get a key, could I have skipped linking? Oh well.

This post is a year old, and all it really chronicles is all the sale stuff I bought and didn't play. Hopefully this winter will keep me indoors. And now, another Halloween sale:
$4.80 DISTRAINT The Complete Journey BUNDLE (DISTRAINT: Deluxe Edition, DISTRAINT 2)
$1.19 Serious Sam Classic: The First Encounter
$1.19 Serious Sam Classic: The Second Encounter
$1.99 System Shock Enhanced
$2.49 Sanitarium
$2.99 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky
You cannot complete your transaction because you are attempting to purchase an item that is already included in another packaged item in your cart. Please check your cart to verify that you are not purchasing an item multiple times. The most common cause would be purchasing DLC along with a deluxe version of a product that already includes the same DLC.
Remove System Shock Enhanced. That didn't work. Remove Distraint, put back System Shock Enhanced. Same error. OK, remove all.
OK, now just Distraint and System... that works.
Oh, I have Serious Sam HD First and Second. I guess I'll remove the non HD versions from my Wishlist.
Throw in
$5.99 S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
2019.12.01 Got a Steam Controller for $5. It was easier to buy it than consider if I even wanted or needed it, but considering how old my only controller is it might be a decent backup.
