i really wish i had nothing to do with my life but play games. it's so cheap these days.

already bought half those games over the past two years, didn't play them

Same here, sadly. My backlog is crippling.

I got almost exactly this bundle in a steam sale for like £30 maybe 18 months ago and thought it was a massive bargain. I haven't played any of them yet either.

man if the most appealing thing on there is comix zone and the genesis version of gain ground ..

like i'm pretty sure you can find the ps2/ps3 compilation of those sega games for like £2 (this is less than fifteen bucks) and frankly who cares about that other shit

ngl Binary Domain is p incredible

(also free on PS+ and can be found for like 5 bucks used at most Gamestops so)

I'm only tempted to pay the $6 for Typing of the Dead, but I know that'll go on sale again before I'd ever get around to it

Skullgirls $5 on greenmangaming.com

Pay anything for Guacamelee and Surgery Simulator

shadowrun returns for $5 on steam. worth it?

yep
humble bundle offering 2 bundles for 17 bucks

convenient timing on that Humble Comic bundle considering the ComiXology thing, eh?

oh, i see what you mean - 4 bundles for $30 also
looks like they're finally getting into the bulk gifting trend that Indie Gala & Groupees has been on

Lots of Star Wars games are -66% on steam this weekend, or there's a bundle of them all for a bit less again I think (which I've bought mostly because I like the idea of going back to replay all the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games, none of which I kept first time round).

Also never got round to picking up KOTOR2 or either of the Force Unleashed games so yeah, pretty happy with this really.

oh wow, on steamplay too (mac compatible)

new humble bundle instabuy (and never play):
wizardry 6, wizardry 7, wizardry 8, i have no mouth and i must scream, 7th guest, 11th hour, system shock 2, shadow man, harvester
nine bucks
fifteen year old me losing my shit

tried to check but couldn't find it - mac compatible at all?

btw, if anyone on ilx has not played i have no mouth - utter classic imo

I wrote a piece about how Thom Yorke's Eraser makes a great soundtrack to the Harlin Ellison PC game I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. It isn't a piece of literature, but it's based on one...

it was for my student paper and i can't find it now :(

harvester, 11th hour, wizardry 8 and shadowman are not mac compatible, everything else

actually scratch that: only harvester isn't. the others arent available for lolunix

really tempting, but i know i'll never play those Wizardrys

oh i'll never play them... but i COULD

btw, if you do pick this up, download that great 7/11 soundtrack album so you have that wonderfully weird "I CAN'T TAKE A BREATH... WITHOUT PAYING MR. DEATH" menu music from the second game

MISTER DEATH, HE LANDS ON MY FOOT

i still have the CD version of that 7/11 soundtrack, that shit was my jam in high school.

i played 7th Guest with my little sister a few years ago so i could be like "look at what we thought was amazing in the nineties," but i haven't played 11th Hour since it came out. it was FMV, right? i imagine it's aged worse than the first game.

the 7th Guest had even dodgier FMV, half faded and low resolution! but i think both games still had impossible chess puzzles.

yeah but it made them look ~ghostly

i DO remember 11th Hour had a basically impossible puzzle where you had to, like, rearrange furniture. i bought the strategy guide to solve it, and iirc it had a little quote from the creators saying "yeah i think we made this one too hard, sorry about that."

haha oh god i vaguely remember that

I called Trilobyte's bbs in 1994 to get the 7th Guest patch. That was the day of the Northridge earthquake, and it was weird to hear the emergency operator recording coming thru my modem speaker. I was always curious what the 11th Hour was like.

Latest version of RPG Maker for a dollar. https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly

Windows only? Come on now

yeah i'd jump on that in a heartbeat if they mac'd it

GOG summer sale hit - hourly/daily deals. Finally bit on that Mac port of Planescape Torment to be forever re-backlogged.

Steam summer sale is on, go join a team, vote, whatever it is that have going now

Has anyone played any of the Democracy series?

$6 for space hulk in humble bundle. also an adventure time reference in the email they just sent out ("The five winds waft the smell of victory to our palace doors!")

you recommend Space Hulk? looks like a weird adaptation

idk, i've never tried it (in any incarnation) but i've always been interested in trying it!

I'm more interested in Ironclad Tactics (from the Spacechem ppl) but for $9 I might just grab it all. Then I can become a Space Hulk Super Amadeus. Gonna wait to see if they get better discounts on the Steam sale though

witcher 2 for $4. i'd pull the trigger if i believed i'd ever actually get around to playing it

lol i still gotta knock out Witcher 1. also, get a computer that can actually run Witcher 2

v. interested in that democracy game, but i still havent really mastered Prison Architect which I think would probably be a similar micro-management experience. but w/e, that isn't the way this works, i'll almost definitely buy think game

*this game

warning message bubbling up from my subconscious there maybe
