I was wondering when that was going to show up - they've done a Thanksgiving weekend sale for a few years now. Plus Amazon's DD store has been cranking out all sorts of sales already this week

KOTOR II for $2.50! Jackpot!

whole season of The Walking Dead is available for $12.50? Jesus. Just finished, pretty great

greatest indie bundle ever, bow down in the presence of its majesty http://www.indiegala.com/

Dishonored is like $30 for pc at Newegg, which I woul totally jump on if I wasn't broke

GameStop got a buncha crazy d/l deals

xcom enemy unknown pretty cheap on amazon - just picked up a copy.

terraria only like $4 on steam atm, my 5th fave goty in 2011, if u haven't played it yet! (binding of isaac also super cheap - my #2 for that year)

Picked up Walking Dead S1. Runs on my work laptop, which means that was a good choice.

Since all those Amazon deals include the future $5 credit, I couldn't resist on Walking Dead

Do a quick download test, get Realms of Arkania 3 (an old school crpg) free

Unfortunately you did not win anything this time (yup, every participant has a chance to win a free game). Don’t worry though, you can start the test once again in a few hours - we will get more data to analyze and you will get another chance to win the free game! :)

boooooooo

oh, i thought everyone got it.

Steam sale has been pretty unimpressive so far, but Hotline Miami is half price for the next 11 hours.

Enh, Skyrim and Dishonored hitting half-off at times has been worth it.

I think I'm going to get Jet Grind Radio for $5, since I haven't beaten that game in like 11 years

I don't think the sales are worse, I just think after five years of constant amazing deals, we have pretty much all the old games we really want. I know I have such a back-log of stuff I picked up cheap, if I didn't buy a game for another year or three, I'd still be fine.

However, I did pick up Hotline Miami for $5, and will get FTL if it goes on sale, either this one or the next in a month.

yeah, i agree - i have pretty much every game i want more or less, and have enough of a backlog to wait for the prices on current games to drop further. even Hotline Miami sounds pretty good, but will i really get to it before the X-mas sale? nah.

Dude on SA made the great point that you should only buy the games you plan on immediately playing, because down the line they'll be on sale again at a cheaper rate. I think I'm only going for one AAA title this time round, since the Christmas sale is like 4 weeks from now.

bought the Universe Sandbox. Not impressed. Had it on realistic high settings and already just by viewing our solar system apparently four of Jupiters moons decided to collide with each other lol

fuckers finally got me with $4 grimlock

Eff it, Syndicate is $5

I will play $5 for a cyberpunk genre experience

Humble THQ Bundle is Windows-only and requires Steam to play
Pay $1 or more for Steam keys for Company of Heroes (and its two full-blown expansions Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor), Darksiders, Metro 2033, and Red Faction: Armageddon. And if you pay over the average price you’ll also receive the extraordinary Saints Row: The Third!

wow! https://www.humblebundle.com/

THQ are in massive financial difficulty btw, this is probably a last attempt to stave off insolvency

good luck with that (i gave $6 to charity, 0 to thq)

that's worth two bucks, yes.

paid £3.67 for Saints Row 3! and a load of other stuff! awes, thanks for the heads-up.

got it, too good to pass up, even if i may never play them. but hey, Red Faction Armageddon, why not

All 3 Company of Heroes titles are quality. This is well worth it.

yeah, 100% to charity, can't wait to see what saints row 3 can do on pc, that game was so fucking fun on xbox.

Spec Ops currently $5 on Amazon.

AAA games for a fiver are usually a great idea.

some German website is doing an advent calendar of daily free PC games, first one is Splinter Cell: Double Agent. seems to work from the UK, although you have to sign-up to a site to get the game. worth keeping an eye on at least.

that humble bundle added red faction DLC and Titan Quest; def a good two dollar investment for all that

The Humble THQ Bundle, which includes a cornucopia of the publisher's games, earned over $2 million in 24 hours. With six days to go on the pay-what-you-want bundle, it's currently pulled in $3.7 million, with the average purchase of the eight-game bundle a mere $5.58. That's about four and half shares of THQ stock.

Anyone wanna tell me if FTL or Hotline Miami are worth playing now ($5/$6), or waiting for their inevitable indie bundle inclusion

FTL is pretty awesome. I've been playing all week.

xp it's cool that millions will go charity through Humble, but i'm not sure that amount will even make a dent in THQ's debt

I got Hotline Miami for $5 during the last steam sale. I haven't played it much (maybe 20-30 minutes), but what I played didn't really impress me. People seem to love it, but for me it seemed too basic / too violent to capture my interest. From what I could see, all you do is walk into a room, figure out quickly how to kill everyone and move on to the next room, sort of trial by error gameplay (it's exactly the same every time you go in a room). It does have an interesting visual style and music, but overall it felt kind of garbage to me. I'm still planning to go back and play it more.

FTL looks like it has a lot more depth. I'm definitely planning on picking it up at some point (probably during a holiday sale). I'm in a rouge-like mood though, so your mileage may vary.

I think the reason I haven't bothered to pick up FTL yet is mainly that the art style looks really bland & boring?

the gameplay is fab

MOO1/2 on gog for Mac now, might bite

FTL and hotline miami are both totally worth the price. FTL is probably more fun but hm is ~~art~~ or whatever

FTL worth it. Hotline keeps killing me, not sure if its worth it.

Also, Dishonored for PC is cheap on Amazon now again, but its a physical copy.

I think Dishonored is Steamworks anyway

Right. I've discovered that I can change my hotel/car rental credits into amazon gift cards, so now I finally have a way to convert all the bidness travel I do into actual vidja games
