Found the answer

My advice: do not get basic Borderlands 2, get the game of the year that contains all the DLCs if you plan on buying it. Every future sale you otherwise might regret having a lower level cap than everyone else enough to want to buy the DLCs but not want to pay as much as what a second copy of the game+DLCs cost when they are all on sale.

Also grabbed Sir You are Being Hunted. Not bad.

Hotline Miami is my favorite so far, though Children of the Nile is really nice. Very interesting how they went with some design choices that make it quite different from a lot of city design games. Not simply a remake of Pharaoh.

I'm making a game called "Innkeep!", where you run an inn set in a low-fantasy world and try to lighten your guests pockets. Forum topic here.

I've grabbed: Don't Starve, Skullgirls, Brutal Legend, and Skyrim Legendary Edition. I have $3.25 left because selling trading cards. Not sure what I'll buy.

Honestly, none. I'm very tempted, particularly by the Crusader Kings II sale, but I have almost 20 games in Steam that I still haven't played, a SNES/NES/PS1/PS2 collection that I've only scratched the surface of, and games like Skyrim and Dwarf Fortress still occupying a good portion of my free time anyways. I think it's easy to get caught up in advertising, previews, and adopt a collector's attitude on Steam, never playing many of the games you purchase. (Almost 37% of registered Steam games have never been played).

Do note however that it does not contain the vault hunter pack 2(which gives the second level cap increase) or the 5 headhunter packs.

That's true, thanks Metalax, my mistake.
