New humble bundle: http://www.humblebundle.com/

Any idea if any of the games are worth getting? I enjoy turn-based strategy games but haven't heard anything about Frozen Synapsis.

Frozen Synapse is a very good game that I am terrible at.

describe it a little? i'm curious...

It's a turn-based tactics game, with vector graphics.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMMtgQlB04I&feature=related

it's basically a quasi-turn-based strategy game except that instead of issuing commands to your units, you're creating a full tactical sequence - i.e. you draw out the path you want them to take (it's not grid-based btw) & build in waypoints for specific tactical actions ("walk", "aim this way", "take cover", etc) rather than just choose "attack", "defend", and so on. I say "quasi" because your turn occurs simultaneously with your opponent's, so you're designing tactics which have to play out in real time.

it's a really good game! I like it a whole bunch even though I am unrelentingly shitty at it.

frozen synapse looks like the type of game that is quite. good. at. turning me on, so i might have to shell out $.01 for the HB

heh

Edge magazine gave it 9/10. I bought it on Steam but I haven't given it a real chance yet.

Too soon! I've still not even tried half the games from their last bundle yet.

^what i was just thinking

we have definitely discussed this at greater length elsewhere but frozen synapse is awesome

I got it. Once I can tear myself away from Glitch I'll try it.

feel kinda like a chump now for having pre-ordered frozen synapse and played it for... 2 hours? but it's good stuff.

Broken Sword 1 is free on GOG

A bad bwai who joined GOG.com 1101 days ago

1101! I got in a very drunk conversation tonight with someone about RPM (btw this was somebody who gave no shits about rpm) saying that 33 1/3 was one thing but 33 + (33 + (3/3)) was 45 rpm WOW! I thought i thought of that myself. I bet all sorts of stoned music turds thought of that before.

But i wasn't gonna talk abt that until I saw that GOG was offering a thing for 0? which is binary for 0? and my days on GOG were 1101? which is i guess bin->dec for 13? or dec-> bin for 10001001101? which ends in 1101? numbers are the best. I should drink & ILE instead of ILGing probs.

VIDEOGAMES ARE THE BEST

hell of at drunkrightnow dot com

not sure what the third diamonds in hellof was

in retrospect i actually said 33 + (33 + 3) /3 was 45 rpm but hindsight is sober/sober i had it more together back then

not sure what the third diamonds in hellof was

I'd have guessed "a" as in helluva drunk

bought Dungeon Siege III tonight. Twas half-off and an Obsidian game and the one chick is hott and the other chick has pistolas, so i figured, why not.

SpaceChem got added to the Frozen Synapse indie bundle, so now you can have two games I don't understand how to play instead of just one.

i'm so excited about all the games i have on steam that i don't know anything about

crayon physics???

crayon physics is pretty fun for a bit.

well, now i feel like a total chump for buying both Frozen Synapse and Space Chem and having played them for like, 3 hours each

they're both pretty awesome, but mannn

Just noticed that Pirate Puzzles is now available for free (for Mac + PC) on Steam. Get it!

Also, I don't think it's on sale, but Binding of Isaac is one of the best games I've played this year. Highly recommended if you like zelda roguelikes w/ twisted aesthetics

this is your thread reminder to play binding of isaac

it's getting a big halloween update apparently

Bought Amnesia, prenumbra, Gemini rue, LFD2, the remastered Holmes vs Cthulhu, and whatever else. I still need to beat Costume Quest.

i would say that i currently own on multiple platforms, conservatively, 100 games that i would like to play.

Same here (although my list is only 30 or 40 long). Already dreading next year's c+p tbh.

Gonna get the Breath of Death / Cthulu Saves the World for $2. Limbo on Steam is $7.50. Convinced a friend to get the L4D 1+2 pack for $10.19. Borderlands GOTY on sale again for a measly $7.50. Tempted to get the Indie Royale pack just for Gemini Rue (already have Sanctum).

Costume Quest is on sale on Xbox right now- I gather it's worth it?

CQ I enjoyed, yes

I need more Steam friends, and/or folks I can play LFD2 with.

it's L4D2 brah

if you're not playing versus i'd be down

woo! beat VVVVV
