Steam Summer sale has destroyed me. [UPDATE]

I typically don't have much money, or very little interest in games during the Steam Summer sale, (or Winter sale, for that matter) but this year was different.

I had quite a bit of money I held on to, and an incredible amount of games I wanted to try, as well as games I needed for my library, and games I didn't even know I wanted, and I got completely destroyed this summer sale, spending an exorbitant amount of money.

UPDATE: Last day of the sale, so I bought a few more things. Went ahead and updated my totals and added them to the list. Dang.

 
TOTAL SPENT: $256.69

Now I'd normally never spend that much money on games all at once, but I happened to get paid during the summer sale proper, and as a result had much more spending money available to me. Now to list off the games!

For fun, I went ahead and did some math, figuring out just how much it would've cost had I paid full price for each game. I listed the bundles I bought, because that would make a difference in the total cost (it'd be cheaper, honestly) and I want to know how much I actually saved:

Bundles:
Bioshock Triple Pack - $69.67
Eidos Anthology - $207.99
Metro Bundle -  $49.98
Civilization V Complete -  $49.99
X-COM Complete Pack -  $49.99

Single games:
Banished  - $19.99
The Banner Saga -  $19.99
Castle Crashers  - $14.99
Dead State  - $29.99
Divine Divinity - $5.99
Divinity II: Developer's Cut - $19.99
DLC Quest - $2.99
DYNASTY WARRIORS 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition - $49.99
Eldritch - $14.99
Fallout $3: GOTY Edition - $19.99

The Stanley Parable - $14.99
Sunless Sea - $18.99
System Shock 2 - $9.99
The Talos Principle - $39.99
This War of Mine - $19.99
Transistor - $19.99
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - $19.99
 You Must Build A Boat - $4.99

TOTAL COST: $987.30

Which is pretty incredible. Doing the math, that gives me a savings of   $730.61. Of course these are just arbitrary numbers, and I actually wouldn't have spent that money on these games, that's why it's a sale -- they earned money because I spent money I wouldn't otherwise have spent, but it's a neat little "what if" scenario. I know people enjoy reading about how many games people bought, how much they spent, and how much they saved, so there you go. There's my damage report from the Steam summer sale, now hopefully I actually play even a fifth of those games!
