The Steam Winter Sale Took All of my Money

Sadly The Steam Winter Sale has come to an end. Only recently becoming part of the Steam Community, this was my first experience with the sale. I may have gone a little out of control. It seems I was constantly checking my computer and phone for the daily deals and impulsively buying every game I had any inkling of interest in.

Thank God I had brains enough to make the majority of my purchases gift transactions as I've only begun to touch the stockpile. I figured if I don't play them I always have a good excuse for a trade or giveaway, but selfishly I want to play them all! Here they are, along with how much money I foolishly threw away.

That makes for a total of $166.52. Geeze, you'd think I was made of money, but think of all the savings! It's kind of like using a coupon for groceries you don't really need. Just to watch them expire and rot.

Fortunately for me I WILL play every single game. Ha, I'll just cancel all other prior arrangements. Thus far I've only played three of the twenty-something games I purchased. Lucius, Home, and Resonance; only completing one, Home (which is not a difficult task).

Were you as impulsive as me? How much did you spend during The Steam Winter Sale?
