my haul:
- Deus Ex 1 & 2- Torchlight- L4D2- Indie Story Pack (got it for Recettear & Puzzle Agent, don't like any of the other 3 games)- Indie Pulse pack (got it for beat.trip.beat [I had stupidly picked up Audiosurf at $2.50 when it was on sale earlier in the week], haven't played any of the other 3 games yet but I hear Rhythm Zone hellasux)- Indie Air Pack (got it for Altitude and yep that game owns a bunch right there)
also got Pac-Man CE DX/Dead Nation/Spelunker HD from a PSN share group and picked up Cave Story from DSiWare; it's been quite a week for digital distribution.

tried to grab kotor and dirt but steam wouldn't allow it
grabbed splosion man, TMNT, magic: the gathering, and GTA: SA the other day when on sale on XBL (along with sonic & knuckles and PAC-MAN CE DX)
looking forward to the /actual/ steam xmas sale and eventually picking up an MBP to run the games
― mo loko (cozen), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 21:12 (thirteen years ago) link
I ended up with Defense Grid, the Indie Story Pack, Machinarium, Monkey Island 2: SE and KOTOR.

If you bought Audiosurf and thne the story pack seriously e-mail Steam, they may jsut refund the first purchase. My roommate bought Civ IV (yes IV) a little while back, and realized he should ahve bought the "complete" IV pack, because it was like $5 more or something, e-mailed thme, and they allowed him to switch it around, after he had owned it for like a week.

A lot more indie packs for the upcoming holiday sale got "leaked" on CAG again, though the poster was annoyed that someone reposted the info on the official Steam forums *forehead palm*, for anyone who is interested, you should be able to find it pretty easily in the forum. All I gotta say is... potato?
