merry xmas (GOG/Steam direct download weekly specials)

got res evil 5, but maaaan it's crap lol

damn you steam. i'm tempted to get New Vegas even though I just got FO3: GOTY on Monday...

wish that Borderlands sale was just a bit better, I would've bitten on all the DLC, but $20 for all 4 is just OK - they were cheaper during the summer sale!

the daily indie deal has generally been a dog, in contrast to the crazy value of the indie 5-packs

got res evil 5, but maaaan it's crap lol

^^ me, months ago, for more money

I have an extra copy of Monkey Island 2 SE (PC only?) to gift over Steam. If anyone's interested PM me.

Potato pack finally released

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/7586/

goddamn them.

haha.

i almost want to get 1...2...3! (Kick That Beat Like An Ugly Baby) just because i love that title.

Is that still worth grabbing if I've already got meat boy, audiosurf and bit trip beat? Kinda doesn't look it, but there's a lot of things I've never heard of in there.

Amnesia, Defense Grid, Killing Floor and AAAAAAAAA all look awfully good to me too.
yeah, i bought it.

this is also one of those rare packs where you can gift all your duplicate copies

I was just being all "uhh well I dunno, £27 is more than I usually spend" and then I realised that it is 13 games, of which I want at least 4, and I used to have to spend £30 whenever I wanted a single game back in the early 90s when £30 was worth a lot more (PC games were a lot slower to come out on budget then iirc)

so I guess my point is, hooray for the internet, and for Steam and its offers, and for this thread

though I did think I wanted AaAaAA bcz I guess the name confused me into thinking it was like VVVVVV and just watching the video is making me feel weird so eh

(I am not good with heights, or 3d, or games where you have to rotate a lot)

had toki tori for gameboy color and it was quite fun. not sure if the version in this pack is a remake or what, tho.

what's a good inexpensive gamepad to play super meat boy with?

use one of your xbox or ps3 pads

they work with a pc? i did not know this.

don't know about the ps3 one, but xbox should but only if you have either the wired cable controller or a wireless receiver on your pc.

the normal charger cable that comes with the 360 does not work as a connecting cable on the pc

http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=xbox+crossfire+360#q=xbox+crossfire+360&hl=en&prmd=ivns&source=univ&tbs=shop:1&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=Jb-ZTaKGBJO48gOXn60X&ved=0CFAQrQQ&biw=1280&bih=675&fp=c2f10cf532930cf3

you can use the PS3 controller but it may require some third party drivers/utilities or some such

wired usb 360 controller / wireless 360 controller w/receiver, definitely easier for most games, they'll autodetect/map the buttons. i often have to use that xbox 360 pad emulator w/my PS2 pad (it will work with pretty much any dual analog gamepad, though)

both options probably preferable to buying a PC-only pad

so there's some sort of code in the potato pack games

wtf,that's insane if they took the time to do that

makes sense, they are nuts

huh, unexpected

SimCity 4 $5
http://www.direct2drive.com/9665/product/Buy-SimCity-4-Deluxe-Edition-Download

use coupon code "showers" for another dollar off

Still kinda pricey for a game that came out in 2003.

Bioshock 2 $5
http://store.steampowered.com/sale/2kgamesmafia

another Humble Bundle - Trine, Shadowgrounds, Splot preorder, and an unfinished game that's probably shit
http://www.humblebundle.com

will probably get, despite already owning trine (which makes it worth picking up, all by itself)

$5 was my sweet spot for Bioshock 2

GOG has had these teaser banners on its main page in the last few days:

What game made you dream of the stars?
What game made you ride with the Outlaws?
What game made you fear your past?

A popular guess is Lucasarts (Star Wars, Outlaws, KOTOR).

Limbo will be 50% off this Friday (along with a bunch of other stuff) so I guess I'll finally get round to picking it up.

Dammit, and I paid $30 for Borderlands complete a coupla months ago

Has anyone been following the Portal 2/Potato Sack ARG? It is balls-out crazy how much work they've put into this.

Who wants free Audiosurf, and who wants free Super Meat Boy? First person to respond asking for each one gets it; I'd like them to go to separate people if possible. Spreading the luv, etc.

hey, I'll take meat boy :-)

All yours. What's your Steam ID?

I'll shoot you an email. thanks!!!!

just sent you an ilx "webmail"
