i am sorely tempted but this is kinda the "i got paralyzed and need to be distracted for the next two years" pack and i don't even think i have the time.

and i'll be buying baldurs gate ipad shortly anyway.
still.

There's a new humble bundle today btw, grabbed it for torchlight, haven't heard of any of the others.

Saints Row 3 is free to play this weekend

also http://www.bundle-in-a-box.com/ . Too many bundles.

bundle deals are like steam sales; now you can feel guilty for not playing all the games you got cheap the whole year long!

i'm trying to avoid bundles but this one got me.
All of Hector, Chime, Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble and Adventures of Shuggy(?) for 5.50 all on steam.

DHSGiT got 15 pts from me in 2008 C&P! It is really fun.

that's basically why i bought that bundle

That game's been in my backlog for like three years now

This is a tricky one.

EA's Origin store has a coupon for $20 off -- OS3874XVC. It can be used on games that cost $19.99 or more. So if your cart totals $19.99, everything in it will be free.

It looks like it can also be used with promotions, e.g. the first link here: http://slickdeals.net/f/5316094-Slickdeals-Exclusive-60-off-of-85-different-games (it checks the referring site so it can't be linked here directly)

It can be used on games that cost $19.99 or more. So if your cart totals $19.99, everything in it will be free.

Just tried it... I added Sims 3 ($12.00) and Bulletstorm ($8.00) to my cart. Both reflected their original price ($29.99 and $19.99) and their new prices ($12.00 and $8.00). I then applied the coupon. Sims 3 continued to cost $12.00, but Bulletstorm now costed $0.00. So... I guess it sorta worked?

I don't know what's going on there. Here's where I heard about it: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=495497

This is US only btw (or at least, it's non-euro).

7 Square-Enix PC games for $10. Includes Deus Ex HR, Just Cause 2 and The Last Remnant.

i've played just cause 2 + deus ex. any opinion on whether it's worth getting for the other games?

i don't have any of those games except Deus Ex and will probably never ever get around to playing them but $10...

i'd say worth it for just cause 2 which was a ton of fun to play

doesn't JC2 require Vista? lol

yeah my console gaming has been JC2 for the last, er, six months? I'm at 60+ hours now, maybe 1/3 through? I'm going mega complete since it suits me, & it's not gotten boring yet.

is there yet a way to play steam games on a tv w/o a pc?

i'm always baffled how they can "run out of keys"

x number of licenses, usage rights, payment to studio, etc

i get that, but it seems like either they should be able to generate keys pretty fast, or just take it down. it should be pretty easy to figure out ahead of time that if they have a limited # of keys to sell, to shut it down completely at x# of sales, up the price, whatevs

my guess would be that they just don't know what they're getting into sometimes and they may get inundated with demand. internet is serious business

but yeah, it's nutty that they can't figure this out. it was available right after i posted and i think still is.

nope, still unavailable

o yah? sorry for bum steer.

new indie royale has To The Moon, instantly sold
http://www.indieroyale.com/

you recommend?

actually i have no idea, but it's got enough critical attention that it's worth a shot

What are the other games like? Reprisal appears to be a p. straight Populous remake, which was briefly tempting because I love Populous, but then I remembered, I could just play Populous (and still do)

(I would buy it anyway except I haven't played the games I bought in the last 2 Steam sales or the last Humble Bundle yet)

pay what you want for 8 sucky interplay games, or $10+ for better ones

great indie royale halloween bundle just went up. all the sam + max games, home, pathologic, macguffin's curse and evilquest

it's not all of sam and max, just season 3. i already have that one so i'm on the fence

oh, i didn't realize it went by seasons. do i need to play the first 2 to enjoy the 3rd? (i've only played hit the run many years ago)

from what i understand no, they're not really connected... i'm only halfway through season 1 myself, from most accounts they got much better as they went along

not sure if these can be shared, but here's my steam codes for the games I already have, first come first served.

sam & max season 3 4J0Y2-WCZ03-06023
home 2J0XX-JTVLZ-YXBX6
