....I just know I'm going to end up buying like 20 random things just.... because.

And there's no reason NOT to spend on it, dont need that money for anything else.

Still, gonna try and at least resist somewhat.... and probably fail miserably at it....

GoG is doing a summer sale too. I've already bought way too many games just from that sale alone. :P

They won't. ActiBlizzard are greedy. They make the sort of games I would have no problem putting down $10 or $15 for, but they charge $40-$60 instead, even years after their initial release. GoG and Steam have spoiled me.

Well, the Internet needs to tell that to Valve, then.

Anything good? I'm considering to skip it entirely this year. Since I don't have Steam nor a good enough internet connection to download anything. Also it means I can use more time for making my own games :D

Well, they have the half-life collection available for 10$. Witcher 1 and 2 combined is only 6$.

That's a lot of gaming right there xD

Just act fast~

Bought Witcher 2, I did.

Then found out it has the control scheme from Hell. I mean, just.... what. What kind of crazed maniac came up with that? I've seen some bad ones, but.... few are as bad as that. And targeting that doesnt appear to actually work.

Got frustrated quickly, went back to Goat Simulator, which is always good for when I'm getting aggravated. It's hard for me to stay angry when doing that one. I'll somehow fix the Witcher later, possibly. Not sure.



Other than that.... hmm. Maybe not buying as much as I thought I would. It's occurred to me that there isnt much TO buy.... so far every conceivable thing on there that I could want, I already have. A side-effect of my extremely-frequent purchases during non-sale times.


This game "Divinity" looks good though.... I might try that one later.

Hm, I played witcher 2 and never had any issues with controls. It's a really fun game with a great plot, I'd recommend trying to stick with it if you can. You can probably customize some of the controls also.
