PC Gamer? If only I had the money!

Steam Summer Sale by Tom Throp

Because I love two things; bargains and achievements.

I love the idea of PC gaming. Unfortunately our first PC was ollld. Even back when we got it it struggled, the few games of Operation Flashpoint I played back in the day didn’t go down too well with our dial-up connection.

Then I got a laptop which wasn’t much better.

And a few years after that, back in 2009, I got me a powerful computer, one of the best on the market. It could do crap I never even dreamt of before. Only it was a Mac.

Mac games were few and far between and as time went on I began to wonder if Operation Flashpoint would be the end of my PC gaming career.

Then, last year, Steam got released for Mac and I downloaded it. I bought Portal, got the humble indie bundle when it came out but all in all I didn’t actually own that much.

Then, fast forward to a week ago, Steam launched its summer sale. Every day a dozen or so games reduced to ridiculous prices. I mean, how could I resist?

I went through the list and had a mosey on through what was also out on Mac. I bought the few there were and played them all briefly, trying to earn summer camp achievements.

And so I repeated this for the next ten days, each evening I would go on, see what’s on sale and buy two or three games. And now I sit looking at my Steam game list, wondering how on earth I’ve ended up with over 70 games on there.

And I think back to my fears of not being able to game on my computer and wonder now rather how I’m going to game on my computer.

I mean, I don’t even have a mouse.
