merry xmas (GOG/Steam direct download weekly specials)

and the site has fallen over

Bought Skyrim despite never having got rid of my 360 copy because I already had £1.81 in my account after selling trading cards and paying the remaining £1.98 or whatever just to have it there in my steam library next to morrowind and oblivion seemed...worth it? Idiot.

no way, u can use mods on it now! skyrim w/ mods is amazing (so i hear)

Yeah I pretty quickly realised that, and there's even a way to hack a 360 save into the PC version. So I can just pick up where I left off.

typing of the dead is ten bucks on steam, i am getting it and you should too.

i wanted that so bad, realized my computer was below spec. sad lol

below spec... for a typing game?

yup :/ well, honestly i should get a new gaming machine at this point anyway, i'm running on a 5-year-old iMac

Got an extra Killing Floor and Zeno Clash 1 key from this week's Humble Bundle, shout out if you want either one.

Steam Xmas sale has started, Dec 19th - Jan 3rd

Just picked up Crusader Kings 2, Terraria and Bioshock Infinite for £24, <3 Steam sales

Monaco for $3 - i'll drop the hammer on that!

here we go

Monaco 4-pack for 7 squids, that'd actually make a damn fine xmas gift for a few of my pals

bought the stanley parable too :/ i think it just became steamplay for mac bc i was trying to get it last week and it seemed to be pc only

nice, I hadn't noticed that. BUT, as the saying goes, 75% of GTFO.

OR. goddamnit.

has anyone tried space hulk?

i really want to, used to scare the hell out of me on amiga!

Guys, go vote for Love Live The Queen for the flash sale so I have an excuse to buy it. I promise I'll buy some other "worthy" indie game like Papers Please or something.

i'm excited about the steam box particularly because I'm hopeful i may hit some of my backlog through it.

humble bundle X is live

i JUST missed out on starbound (went to the first 1000 sales). damn!

ha, clever way to bump the initial average

starbound added to my bundle!! w00t!

???

how get starbound

I looked at some stabound videos on youtube. Is it a port or a fork of Terraria or something?

Same artist, different company, different guts. I think.

the first 1000 ppl who paid >= $10 got a copy of starbound.. when i checked out, there were still some copies left, but by the time the paypal processing finished, they were already gone. message in the library said "We sold out of Starbound; unfortunately your purchase was right on the edge. We are scrounging for more keys." then they said you could email for a refund

im guessing the asked the devs for extra keys to give out for those "on the edge" who didnt ask for a refund

"sold out"? Are we talking brick and mortar here?

Indie Gala January, featuring DEADLY PREMONITION for $5 and change

Thanks, I usually skip indiegala. Too many of the games look like garbage.

Yup, that is generally true. I laughed when I saw they added DP as the bonus game.

so gutted that megalomania and turrican 1 & 2 aren't on gog.com

can anyone recommend a modern equivalent of megalomania? god i loved that game as a kid.

just found this, not the same graphics i remember (c64?) but a good remake: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mark.harman/comp_gigalomania.html

http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/kingdoms-bundle/

good looking out; that's a great buy

that is a helluva bundle

new roguelike humblebundle is fantastic and well worth the $6 if you don't somehow already have binding of isaac (my game of 2011 - i continue to play it until today)

got the $6 level just for teleglitch. i have an extra binding key w/ dlc if anyone wants it.

oh sorry, i guess i don't. they have a new way of sending keys i guess :/ still well worth buying!

ixney on that - found the gift key!

yeah, this is killer... but i think i have finally broken and realized that my backlog is so ridic that buying ANYTHING is straight insane

who am i kidding

haha. i was kind of sad when i realized i owned most of the games in it already

kinda looking forward to the Isaac remake, if for no other reason that it won't be programmed in Flash and may actually run decently on Mac

all mac games from aspyr 30% off - i haven't checked through to see if there's anything good yet:
https://www.gameagent.com/games?filters%5Btags%5D=Aspyr%20Media

of games i don't think are otherwise available on steam for mac and are on sale:
simcity is $20, cities of tmmrw expansion is $20, quake 4 is $14, company of heroes $14, doom 3 $7

tropico 4 sadly not on sale :(

tomb raider goty edition w/ all dlc for $30 -- worth it?
