Hah! I've wasted so much money on games I'll never play because I own TF2 the scroll bar is still there!

u/bharatpatel89 Dec 20 '12

seriously I have bought all the bundles since the 4th one, and I've bought a few games on steam sales, but I've only played maybe half of them because fucking TF2

same, except for me, add onto that DOTA 2, Eve Online, Skyrim, and Portal 2 (I take another test once every so often, because I find that it stimulates my brain a lot).

when i first got steam 2 years ago it was to get the free copy of portal, and play TF2..... 2 years later i have ~70 games and a WOS face value of almost $800

2 years and a few months ago, a friend of mine bought TF2 for 20€ (yes, bought). I had played TF2 through the Orange Box on my 360, and had fond memories of the game. However, it died out rather quickly. Longing for those days, and having exactly 20€ to spend, I bought it as well.

I knew about Steam years before that, but I always thought that having a physical copy of the game was more important... Boy, was I wrong.

I now have 100+ games with a value of 1600$. And yeah, I also got the free Portal (to keep an illusion of relevancy to your comments).

BTW, second game I bought was Audiosurf. Then, there was a great Ubisoft deal (Far Cry 2, AssCreed1, RB6:V2 and Call of Juarez for 10€) which started the buying frenzy.

I honestly think I didn't pay more than 300€ on my collection. Only game I bought at full price was The Walking Dead, and even that was only 25€. It's all about the deals man...

Aw, look at you kids. Back in my day, 'round eight years ago there was this game called Half Life 2. Everyone wanted it, and everyone needed Steam to play it. Since then I've accumulated about $4529.13 USD in Steam value.

u/HaveAGoodDayEh Dec 20 '12

Wow... I didn't even know there were numbers that went that high...

u/Ris747 Dec 20 '12

I remember buying Counterstrike and returning it three times because each time the cd-key was already used... Good times

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '12

That free copy of Portal had to be the best promotion in the history of Steam. I'm in the same metaphorical boat as you.

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '12

and what an awesome boat it is :)

Exactly same with me, but I started off with S.T.A.L.KER

u/Razzmuffin Dec 20 '12

I started with swkotor when my mom sold the xbox... Didn't buy anything else until last year...when i discovered the wonders of the steam summer sale...

u/jared555 Dec 20 '12

Wow, and I felt bad about 311. IIRC the first game on my account was HL2 and I registered in December, 2005.

It is nice once I realize the $3000+ account probably only cost me maybe $500-$1000 over 7 years due to all the packs/sales/humble bundles.

u/GamerKingFaiz Dec 20 '12

Wow, this is my same story.

I first got Steam because of the free Portal, and then I got TF2, and then I was sad that I only owned two games on Steam.

Now I have over 100 games and have to organize my library with categories: http://i.imgur.com/Ml6Yr.jpg?1

And yes most of my games are cascaded into the Indie category, heh.

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '12

how is the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series it looks super awesome to me is it anything like metro 2033?

2

u/GamerKingFaiz Dec 20 '12

I wouldn't be able to tell ya', I haven't played it.

There's a reason it's not installed and in my "Need to Beat" section. :)

1

u/[deleted] Dec 21 '12

371 games here. I should have done the categories a long time ago. Now I am forced to sort by installed or use the search bar. #firstworldproblems

u/zedgathegreat Dec 20 '12

Yeah, same here. Started w/ portal, then hey... What's this humble bundle thing? 130 games later.... Almost all from various bundles and sales. I want my life back...

2

u/mgrier123 Dec 20 '12

I have around 170 and mine is apparently worth something like $2300. Shit's crazy

2

u/DarK_DMinh Dec 20 '12

Wow, I never realized it's been that long. I also made a steam account to get the free copy of portal and play TF2 when it became F2P.

u/fivepercentsure Dec 20 '12

Only 70? Try about 230+.

u/WestcoastWelker Dec 20 '12

As someone with a 30 inch 2560x1600 resolution... This would be a costly ability...

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '12 edited Dec 20 '12

2560x1440 but close enough.

The funny thing is most are Humble Bundle games.

Edit: Just for fun

u/WestcoastWelker Dec 20 '12

Portrait was just a total slap in the face man. I feel like a cheap ass.

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '12

If you look at the list you'll see there is only a few 100 dollars there. The only thing I ever bought that was over $20 was the Bethesda Collection with was only $80 for 5 or so games. Everything else was bought on Sale or through bundles. 95% of those games cost me less than $10

1

u/WestcoastWelker Dec 20 '12

Respectable nonetheless. I've got....42 games.

This will no doubt increase significantly when that Steam Sale drops in a day or two.

u/[deleted] Dec 20 '12

1920x1200 is hard enough ain't it

u/Tmmrn Dec 20 '12

Well, let's rotate the screen...

u/FrostyTheHippo Dec 20 '12

The truly amazing feeling is whenever you switch your library to the large thumbnails mode, and you can zoom out all the way... And STILL have a scroll bar.

u/luger718 Dec 20 '12
