merry xmas (GOG/Steam direct download weekly specials)

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).

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/25772/

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

Why did I buy The Witcher 2 which I will never ever play again two days ago for full price

kopped divinity original sin :D

any other recs, preferably but not necessarily osx?

me2 preferably + also necessarily osx

Why did I buy The Witcher 2 which I will never ever play again two days ago for full price

aw man, baloney sandwich

I wonder if this group race gimmick (aka, blatant attempt to motivate people not to wait until the final day to buy) is working

Papers Please at $3, totally worth it for your depressing retro art-game fix

ooo, state of decay $5. if it were osx i'd definitely buy it again.

so many dogs in the strategy bundle

space hulk and nidhogg on flash sale for another hour... ugh fine i'll waste my monies

no, i'm gonna fight it. i'm fighting it dammit

that's what they said about the space hulk

i managed to not buy those last night
but then I woke up this morning and bought LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and something called Super Amazing Wagon Adventure

think I spent about £50 on games under £4 last night, just checking the account now and I don't even know what half of this stuff is. Think I've invested quite heavily in mediocre point and click adventures, as well as in a windows only game (I use a mac, no partition). ffs

Yeh I'm trying to avoid buying those sort of games this time round as they usually turn up in a Humble Bundle a couple of months later on. Which I then buy and never play any of.
