Steam statistics are kind of unreliable in this case thought because there are people who play the retail version and the Origin version. Battletracker says there are about 3000 people currently playing and prior to the sale still seems to be averaging around 2500 people at peak time so decided I might as well get it and give it a shot.

First purchase:

I bought the Trine complete pack for €2,14. Never heard of the games, but at that price they can't not be worth the money.

That seems like more than enough people.

Bought Braid. It won the community's choice.

I'm not too sure about this game. It doesn't look all that great to me to be honest, but I've read so many positive reviews for it.

Ok, I got Grimrock yesterday as a gift but that's not enough. There's still 5 more games in my wish list and I am getting a bit desperate.

Well why the hell would you do that? Everyone knows not to buy shit that isn't on a daily, flash, or community choice sale.

So far I only bought 2 keys for the special holiday crates for TF2. I plan on probably buying early access for Loadout next week.

Since Risk of Rain I've gotten Papers Please, Guacamelee Gold Ed, and Outlast. They're all great, but I'm not sure what the fuss is about Papers Please... it's painfully boring right now and I guess that's the point, but like, why the fuck would I want to play that?

Picked up Rogue Legacy for 4,61 yesterday and it's pretty fun. It's pretty difficult (but fair for the most part) but you get better with every run. Even when you are really bad, you can eventually just outlevel the content with the upgrades you get. I recommend it to all fans of Castlevania and Metroid. It's a bit like a 2D Dark Souls, since it's better to approach enemies with a strategy in mind as opposed to mindlessly slashing through. Beat the first boss and it felt very rewarding.

Only able to afford the complete Trine pack but I love it. The games themselves are beautiful and the gameplay is pretty solid for me.

Steam has been having issues all day since L4D2 is free and all you have to do is download as opposed to adding it to your queue. As a result, the servers have been getting hammered to holy hell and back. Someone didn't think that one all the way through.

Nothing's really caught my eye yet. So far I've only gotten Far Cry 3, Red Faction: Guerrilla, and Oblivion (only because I miss it a lot and don't have it anymore).
