Wow, from the 23rd of June upto the 4th of July was so damn hectic and confusing to say the least. I had about 11 bucks in my Steam Wallet and got a 20$ gift card for the sales, so totally about 30 bucks, had to reach level 5 for getting the card drops (was on level 4), so I had to craft a few badges too.
Then was the tension and excitement of participating wholeheartedly on a Steam sale for the first time was a fun experience unlike any others. In the end I got the following games -
"The Banner Saga"

"Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition"
"Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut"
"Transistor"
"Valdis Story: Abyssal City"
[Some of these games I had my eyes on for a long time (Borderlands, Dust, Valdis Story etc.); some I bought on the whim of the moment (Injustice, Shadowrun etc) but all of these I am hoping to play and enjoy immensely. Do let me know what you guys think of my choices and also share stuff you may have gotten.
PS: I also bought some games very cheaply for steam trading card farming, these are numerous and are not really stuff I am interested in so I would not mention them here.]
