Thoughts behind my Steam purchases

Some day I’ll look back and wonder, why do I own five hundred games on Steam and I’ve only played ten of them.

And then I crafted my hard-earned coal only to get a really shitty coupon.

GABE WHY DO YOU KEEP TROLLING ME? ALL I ASK IS A FREE GAME FOR ALL THAT EFFORT!

And then I take your coal and turn it into diamonds!

You see, anything is possible when you sell out like half life and not an obscure indie game.

I'm on a bull squid.

I hope you're not paying for steam... though a true gentleman knows steam travel is the only way to travel...

I happen to be in that green spot.
Does that make me somewhat special?

Yes...
But then again, Luigi is always in the green, right?

That'd be two of us, then.

I managed to spare 10€ to buy Section 8 with all DLC and Dungeon Defenders with the New Heroes DLC (and the free ones, heh).

Totally worth every penny. But man, that DD Pre-Order for the DLC Campaign, it's more expensive than the game itself! It's like I'm really buying Call of Duty DLC!

What about: "I just woke up after New Year's Eve. What are these games doing in my library?"

Replace library with garage, and games with 12 year old Mexican bo-- wait...

I should probably clear this with my lawyer first.

This also works with the title "Reasons I got a Steam Account in the first place".

It gets to the point where i even forget i bought some games.
[$500 spent on Steam in the last month]

In other news; Plants vs Zombies is an awesome game...

You should play it!

Number one reason I buy games on steam: "A free hat for TF2? SCORE!"

To be fair, I did want to play Magicka.... Just got nobody to play it WITH.... :c

I must warn you, I am the biggest pyromaniac ever.

That just means that you're doing it right! >:3

I would love to join in on a game, if it wasn't for the time difference...
Oh, the TIME DIFFERENCE!!! :'(

But not buying these games would be fiscally irresponsible

Hyeah, bought the 2K pack for it's sale price of $75 USD, and I doubt I'll be doing anything about the sports games.

Also bought Bastion, which not only has amazing narration, but apparently it even includes a game for no extra cost!

its not a game....its a work of art narrated by a cross of god, morgon freeman, and Walter cronkite.
Reply
I can't be the only one to think Logan Cunningham (The narrator) sounded just a bit like Ron Perlman throughout the beginning of the game....right....? Fun fact - He's on twitter, and he IS black...so that Morgan Freeman reference wasn't too far off; Dude is growing a bitching afro...I can see him being Morgan Freeman #2....

must follow....new morgon Freeman god

Morgan...Not Morgon ya moron! HAHAHAH I KILL ME! *cricket cricket* Oh shut up it was funny!

Ah, the righteous simplicity one gains from not having a credit card and an ingrained sense of Thrift.
Replaced only by a constant WANT

I did some quick calculations the other night, and it turns out that the top 1% of my games gets played 99% of the time. That explains all that "Occupy Steam" error messages I have been getting lately.
