I spammed their add to cart link and somehow got 2 4-packs for $22.50. It took awhile to get through the whole order and payment process. Each pack comes with a Steam key and 3 GamersGate giftable copies.

I don’t understand how GamersGate can keep screwing up with the same errors for the past week.

5102

The play and charge kits are junk, absolutely. When I used my play and charge kit, those battery packs died within a year. When I switched over to the quick-charge kit (a battery pack charger that you plug into the wall), the battery packs I’ve had since then last about 5 years. Much, much better.

Or you can go with your own rechargeable batteries, if you’re so inclined. But definitely stay away from the play and charge kit. It will kill your battery packs way too fast.

5103

It can’t be too bad when not in use, I have yet to change the batteries in the controller I bought in Oct. of last year.

5104

It is usable, whilst on the USB charger.

I don’t notice any lag, but I am old and slow ;)

5105

I’m going to guess their website UI is designed by Paradox.

5106

I am still using my original play and charge kit from 6 years ago with no problems. Granted I only play for about a max of 3 hours at a time and plug it back in when done.

Borderlands 2 and its DLC is 50% off on GMG for today only. You can use their 30% voucher to make things even cheaper: GMG30-DPLIM-DN831

You can use the voucher for multiple items as long as you do separate orders.

If you don’t have this yet, it’s been a great deal of content so far for the money.

50 Genesis/Megadrive games for $4.87.

Steam activates.

Humble Bundle 7 added these:

  • Basement Collection
  • Offspring Fling
  • Cave Story+
5111

Any of these worth downloading and installing?

5112

<sputter hack cough>

Worth downloading?? Cave Story!? Unless you hate platformers, YES! It’s the seminal one-man indie game!

I thought Offspring Fling was meh, but other folks have liked it. And the only Basement Collection game I’ve played much of was Time Fcuk, which was very intriguing and creepy and messed up. But worth playing.

5113

Not to repeat Nightgaunt, but Cave Story+ is really amazing.

5114

Yeah, the Basement Collection is a real headf**k. Try it.

EDIT: And now The Binding of Isaac is in a Steam flash sale. YAY! Except get the humble bundle instead 8)

5115

There’s also a separate charger that charges two Xbox controller batteries at a time; that’s what I use.

5116

Yeah, that’s the quick charge kit. That’s what I was talking about as well. Battery packs last about 5 years or so if I use that. They last less than a year if I use the play & charge kit (the one with the wire that plugs into a USB slot).

5117

OK, help me out then. I installed it. I start in a room with a spinning disk, a heart symbol, and a door. When I go to each of these three places, the jump button does nothing, the Fire button does nothing, the swap left button does nothing, the swap right button does nothing, the map button does nothing and the pause button takes me to an empty inventory screen.

I don’t get it.

5118

GamersGate did it again - they put Patrician IV Gold up on sale with 80% off applied twice, meaning I got it for $1.20.

By the time I’d refreshed the page to grab the link they’d put the price up to $6 and run out of keys.

5119

Press down. Enjoy.

5120

Huh, I’m starting to wonder if these GamersGate drops are deliberate…
