So I may or may not have spent an inordinate amount of money on Steam sales this holiday season. The games include the following (in no particular order):

• Hitman series
• Dead Island
• L.A. Noir: Complete Edition
• DX:HR DLC
• Tomb Raider series
• Indie games such as Space Pirates and Zombies, Jamestown, From Dust, etc
• Dungeon Defenders + DLC
• Bulletstorm
• Red Faction: Armageddon + DLC
• RAGE
• Skyrim
• Warhammer 40k: Space Marine
• Torchlight
• Fable 3 + DLC
• Total War: Shogun 2

As you are probably aware, I have no MMO on my plate at the moment, nor would one probably fit on my plate, let alone dinner table at this point. However, I have been following SWTOR discussions very closely and of course keep abreast of WoW news 5+ months after having quit. If there is a price drop on SWTOR or Blizzard gets their head out of their asses and discounts server transfers, I could very well find myself back in the saddle. Ironically, the longer that Blizzard keeps the Annual Pass promotion open, the more likely I am to buy-in. Diablo 3 is one of those rare Day 1 purchases for me, and the closer the release date Soon™ gets the more valuable the Annual Pass becomes – the fewer months wasted on Cataclysm, the better.

In any case, I want to thank everyone for your patronage in 2011, and will endeavor to maintain whatever redeeming qualities you found in this slightly cocked corner of the internet throughout 2012.
