merry xmas (GOG/Steam direct download weekly specials)

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

Hotline is half off today

I can't stop listening to the Hotline Miami soundtrack:
http://soundcloud.com/devolverdigital/sets/hotline-miami-official

Especially the Sun Araw tracks and Jasper Byrne's "Miami," the song from the live-action trailer.

H:M is effing brutal, both in content and how I keep friggin' dying, especially after drinking.

Hotline reminds me of Spelunky, but less cruel. Still cruel, though.

okay so now they added warhammer 40k dawn of war to that thq pack.
if you haven't blown a few bucks on this yet, you really should.

it begins

i should throw 'em some bucks for the effort they've put into the Mac ports, but will I ever really play Theme Hospital again?

I downloaded the free Duke Nukem 3D - never played it before!

I'm definitely planning on picking up La Mulana finally - 50% off. Was hoping it would come to steam, but it seems stuck in greenlight limbo...

Grimrock $3.74, some others at the same price. Has anyone tried The Real Texas? Looks interesting.

Today on GOG: 23 Sierra adventures (plus two SWAT games) for $20

New humble bundle and more GOG sales today.

JCL, La Mulana is about to be added to this bundle:

thank you Humble Bundle for putting the 2 games I already own but haven't played in the "pay above the average" section this time

i might get it anyway, since you're getting a crap-ton of Dungeon Defenders DLC. not that i've played that game for more than a minute. but Grimrock + mac ports (as well as Shank 2), nice

ugh, i already have more games than i have time to play and now like everything on gog is on sale???

Steam sale should be starting tomorrow - feeling distinctly unhyped tho :/

keep telling myself i don't need all the Ultimas

u really just need VII imo

i really need them all it's the sad-case completist in me, luckily i can't be bothered to make a GOG account tonite

Amazon doing digital stuff every week for the next few

both they and GOG seriously stepped up this year to fight Steam, I love it

Steam sale went live half an hour ago. Arkham City for £4.99 isn't bad.

Oh shit

if anybody gets the super indie pack and has some doubles, i would be much obliged?
