So, I've been needing a CPU upgrade for some time. Low on money, I stuck a GTX 950 in an old pre-built. It had an ancient AMD A4. So as you can imagine, it runs like crap. Dying Light and Shadow of Mordor are unplayable, Metro Redux and Shadow Warrior are stuttering messes, and most other games are somewhere in between. With the Steam sale on and my wishlist growing quickly, I was pressured to do something. What really pushed me over the edge, though, was getting suspended from work. I'm not going to go into it, but I was online filling out applications when the urge hit me. I know, not the best time to be spending money. But in the words of sales trainer Jeffrey Gitomer, you have to reward yourself for your failures as well as your successes. It makes you feel good, and when you feel good, you do good. So I took the plunge. And it cost me about $350. Yay. I also started throwing games into my cart. I figured I'd spend $50 to bring me to an even $400 or so. After sacrificing Broforce, my total came to $49.44. It wasn't until a few moments ago that it hit me that I had bought 9 games and a ton of dlc. I got:

Borderlands 2 Game of the Year Edition (comes with most dlc)

Saints Row franchise pack (all 4 games and a ton of dlc)

Bioshock Infinite with season pass

Serious Sam 3 Gold

Painkiller HD

Spec Ops: The Line

Best fifty bucks I've ever spent. I love Steam and Linux. All hail GOL.

On one last note, I've heard that the Painkiller remake was lacking in content, but what's a Linux gamer to do?
