So a dampish squib of a Christmas Steam sale leads us into a New Year…
Yay! Marking the thread so I don’t miss any deals.
That was actually the first Steam sale… ever, I think, where I didn’t buy anything.
I am going to post something in this thread.
I bought 1 DLC (Going East for Euro Truck Sim 2), and I only bought that because I sold all the holiday sale cards I got from voting so it cost me something like 12 cents. Pretty underwhelming sale.
I’m really disappointed that the Xbox Year End countdown sale didn’t include Minecraft Xbox One Edition.
We await with bated breath!
I’m not.
I’m amazed it is 2015. When my daughter went to kindergarten the year of her graduation (and my going to the poor house) seemed sooo far away. And here it is. I’ll really need the bargain thread this year as she has been accepted to two of the three colleges she applied to (and the other one will let her know this month) but we don’t qualify for need-based scholarships. =)
My eldest son is a junior, I understand completely where you are coming from. There is a gap In the US where the middle class is hurting for school funds. I can’t afford to pay for my son’s school, it would take half of my income. According the formula they use that’s what I am supposed to pay.
Anyway, sorry to Digress. These are my favorite thread on this board.
For those pf you who couldn’t spend enough in the Steam sale, the Gamers Gate sale continues until 12th January. Nothing outstanding yet, but some good prices on oldies if you sort by highest discount.
Total digression, but, out of curiosity, how much (and when) did you start saving for college? My kids are in third grade and kindergarten, respectively, and I’ve been saving for them since they were born – and am still freaking out about whether we’ll have enough saved up. Bargain thread ho!
cough cough. . . . . . . splat.

Classic Pirates!, B-17, Command HQ and more.
B-17 Flying Fortress: the Mighty 8th was one of my faves back around 2001.
You can’t go back :(
I’ll probably have to pick that up for Command HQ. Everything else would be gravy since I have most of it on GOG.
Yeah, CHQ is definitely worth the price of admission.
