I got To The Moon, Awesomenauts and Monaco. The only one I actually bought myself was Monaco. >_> Being poor is lame.

[Meacon Keaton]

I can't get my PS4 controller to install and it is pissing me off.

[Ruki]

So, Divinity: Original Sin? A ton of fun! Reminds me of an oldschool Fallout game (overhead view, turnbased battle, can barter with everyone)...but a fantasy version.

[MDK]

Xcom

Stanley Parable

The Witcher 2

Battleblock Theatre

Castle Crashers

Tomb Raider

Just Cause 2

Deus Ex: Directors

Worms Revolution

FTL

Looks as though everyone has been making some great choices. I only ended up getting the Castle Crashers/Battleblock Theater pack, which I managed to pay for with the money I made from trading card sales. There just aren't really many games I want to play that I haven't already now.

Think I'm starting to get the hang of Banished...after about the 10th time I quit and restarted...

I'm about 6 years in, my population is up from 20 to 25 (24 adults, one child). My huntsmen, forresters, farmers, gatherers, herbalists and stonecutters are making my town fairly self sufficient for the time being. I built a townhall to attract nomads to add to my population though, because one birth a year isn't a good way to sustain a town, I just haven't gotten any nomads yet. Plus I'm finding I have more jobs then people. As it is, I turn off my tailor and woodsman during the spring/summer (the woodsman chops logs into firewood), because heavy coats and firewood aren't in as much demand, and only assign my blacksmith when I start to run low on tools. Having only 3 of a possible 15 stonecutters also means stone production is incredibly slow

But my fulltime huntsmen keep us stocked with venison and deer leather. My cabbage and squash farms are highly productive, I just started to see results for a pecan orchard I planted (Tip, if you guys plant an orchard, wait..it took about 3 or 4 years before I saw pecans getting harvested) plus my gatherers keep us stocked with roots, berries, mushrooms and onions! (Yea, onions and cabbage...my townfolk are wishing gasmasks are real)

Now I just need to get more people so I expand west towards the river, build a trading post and get some livestock and other seeds!

[Meacon Keaton]

That sounds kinda neat.

One more game than I bought....

I got To The Moon from TEOL, Shadowrun Returns from a friend at another message board....and bought the Celtic Portraits add-on for Crusader Kings II, using money I got from selling trading cards after I got bored crafting badges. I believe have a whopping 50 or 51 (like it matters which!) cents at the moment.

[Dan]

I sold cards at the start of the sale for 35p each then bought them back near the end for 12p each.

Still got my badge and made a nice profit.

Picked up Portal 2 and Brothers - A tale of two sons on the final day.

[Rocky]

Not from the sale but I picked up Viscera Cleaning Duties today and it is a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Basically, Mopping Simulator 2100.

Niner .

True story, it only cost me like 4 pence of real money.

[Regia]

Got to love a bargain. Now to discover that I am damn awful at Fallout >_>.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Apparently over 7000 Sniper Elite 3 keys were revoked by Steam, because they were being sold through unauthorized retailers. Rebellion Games has posted about it on the Steam Community website.

If you bought one of the compromised keys, you can email Rebellion with proof - the receipt, and your revoked Steam key - and they'll issue you a new key and you get the Target Hitler DLC for free.

The trick to boosting your population is to up your house building. I know it seems counter productive but you probably have loads of adults who are capable of having children but won't until they move out of their parents' house and in with a partner.

Also hunters and gatherers are a million times more productive than farmers.

But abandoning agriculture for hunting and herding is a sure sign of a primitive economy destined to go nowhere!

Make sure you don't build houses too quickly, though. Kids eat but don't produce, so too many of them will stretch your food production.

The best reason to buy Octodad is if you have young children who can watch you be terrible at it.

[Bobfoc]

Speaking of Octodad, here's a device that can mimic your facial expressions and transfer them into the game.
