Poof, antlers! I found some online and now they're all mine :)

LOL they're actually really fitting. Well done! Was the red nose always there?

So far, just "Age of Wonders" for myself (because it was free). I'd be very inclined to pick up some stuff from my wishlist because some of the deals are really good, but I'm in the Secret Santa & I don't want to get any duplicates.

Speaking of the Secret Santa, only one game my giftee wants has been on flash-sale so far, so that's all he/she has coming at this point. If the others don't go on flash, I can still get a bunch at the regular-sale price, but I'm hoping I can gift even more by being patient & waiting.

Sin Gold for $2 yesterday to finish off that bundle since I had all the others. That's it so far, I doubt I'll be buying much.

They all came together nicely. The red nose was actually bothering me - I couldn't for the life of me remember if it had always been there and I didn't notice, or if it was added for Christmas.

I bought my first regionally priced games on GOG : Age of Wonders III, Xenonauts & Wasteland 2
I also took Halfway and Challenge of the 5 realms from the flash deals
Condidering the Stalker bundle and the god mode bundle ( but I don't want Reus ...)

I was tempted by Wings remastered, but the discount is low. Same with Defender of the crown or Starpoint Gemini2.

Oh and to actually add my haul...

I finally went with Banished! I'd been waiting for it to hit $4.99 (I know I know ;) ) and I even held up last sale when it was also this price. But the cold nights and chill air felt like the perfect atmosphere to settle down and finally spend a few evenings playing this over a hot cup of coffee; so I couldn't resist anymore.

I also went with Commandos 2+3. This was one I was "aware" of back when it was released (well, the first one anyway) and I saw it for $1.99 in a sale a few months back. I had a ton of fun recently playing Heroes: Soldiers of World War II (sort of a more action / less puzzle oriented version of Commandos) so I told myself next time 2+3 came up for two bucks there was no way I was passing on it. I LOVE those drawn backgrounds - so gorgeous even by today's standards. I decided to go with the "more of the same" but slightly less frustrating sequels (at least according to reviews here) rather than the original. I know I won't be disappointed.

Banished is a ton of fun, but trust me when I say to start it's best to play on easy until you figure the game out. Will save you some frustration ;-)

Thanks for the tip - I've already lost two or three villagers to starvation. I'm assuming I'm in for at least one quick restart when someting terrible happens and I'll make sure to keep it on Easy.

I think the game already taught me something - I'm used to thinking about things like wood, stone, food etc being the assets I should focus on. So far I have a nice stockpile of wood and stone but in hindsight I'm thinking I probably set my village back by losing the people. The people are the real "long-term" assets I should be worried about if I want to grow my village and make sure everyone is taken care of! So I hope I didn't stunt my growth too early. But again, I'm sure I'll get in at least one reset / TTW (total town wipe ;) ) before I get this up and running!

My major first year problem - I couldn't get my little wooden bridge built fast enough to cross the river and set up my nice little hunting grounds!

Don't freak out when you start having massive amounts of people dying off from old age too, it happens. Have to find the balance of growing, but not growing so fast that your supplies can't maintain. It's fun :)
