And many others are on sale; I picked up Planescape Torment and
http://www.gog.com/gamecard/in_cold_blood , an 'espionage thriller' which
looked intriguing.

I used to buy games when they were cheap. I kept telling myself I
would play them eventually and I was saving money since they were on
sale. As much as 15 years later, a number of those games are still in
their original shrink wrap.

I now have the "virtualized" version of the same problem, with a
backlog of Steam games all bought for a couple of bucks each...
probably mostly worthy titles, but they are in such abundance that
while I might load them up, I will never give them the proper
attention they might have deserved.

The way I look at it, it's like donating to gaming charity research working towards
a cure for boredom. Most of the projects may be dead ends, but who knows when some
of the people involved in those dead ends will produce something superb?

See, I'm building up my excuses for the Xmas Steam sale already!
