Hmm, Steam already refunded my money without any fuss and without screwing anything up with my upgraded purchase. Kudos to them!

I bought fallout nv (one with dlc), hero siege (based on this thread and it was $.89 and its terrible), life is strange, the $38 war thunder pack, and europa universalis 4 based on word of mouth from a guyi play war thunder with but that has such a steep learning curve, wow!

I think that is it.

I like world of tanks, I tried planes in War Thunder for about an hour and didn't have much fun. That $38 pack sounds like a good deal if you are going to play it.

I have yet to install any games I purchased as I have been busy. I bought HS on a whim from someone else liking it. I looked up a video on YouTube due to your post and requested a refund for it. The rest of the games I bought look fine.

Been playing war thunder for almost 2 months now and i play it several hours every day. at first its very frustrating but once you get the hang of it its much better. I also joined a squadron(think guild or clan for other games) and plah with a cool group of guys and it makes it 10x more fun.

According to steam i have over 300 hours in it, but not all of those are playing because sometimes ive logged in and just sat at the hangar while ive done other stuff like working.

I only play the planes. Tried tanks once and had no idea what i was doing. Im more interested in the planes and flight anyway.

Project Cars and Dirt Rally. Stuck to the game buying plan.

I think it's time to buy a racing wheel, but I'm cheap and I've been playing with a pad for a long time. Project Cars is very difficult with a gamepad, at least the one I'm using.

That's sad when you can't even remember what you bought but already have a list of games you still want. Can't tell if you are being serious or trolling right now.

I'm going to buy battleblock theater when I get home. I'm looking for more 3-4 player couch coop/multiplayer games. Any suggestions?

Late reply but SpeedRunners! Cannot recommend this game enough.

Edit: Check out the demo, basically a standalone party mode of the game with a few maps.

So at final call:

Alien: Isolation
Cities: Skylines
Galactic Civilizations I and II: Ultimate Edition
J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars
The Talos Principle
Torchlight II
Verdun

I figure I'll snag Arma III during the fall or Christmas sales.

Open up Steam. Click on your username in the top right corner. Click on account details. Click on Store Transactions.

I don't have a listing for account details or store transactions.

Activity, Profile, Friends, Groups, Content, Badges, Inventory.

On 'fun couch games', the You Don't Know Jack party pack daily is over, but that sounds fun.

Far upper right corner, next to your steam wallet. Should be under there.

The first step to recovery is realizing that you have a problem.

You married? If so, does she know about your "problem"?

Funny ...
