Nightgaunt:

I felt Anomaly worked better on mobile, where they removed the in-world avatar character that you controlled. I assume it’s back in Anomaly 2 PC, though, yeah?

I played Anomaly 1 on Android, so I don’t know how it worked on the PC. Anomaly 2 has a little player character commander who runs around like a rabbit on speed, though, so I assume that’s what you’re talking about.

And I got an e-mail saying my order was cancelled and I’d get a $10 e-giftcard for my trouble.

WarpRattler · 2013-11-06T23:11:51.000Z

Same here. I’m going to wait to use it until Black Friday sales hit and maybe still get a game I want for slightly cheaper, but I’m not expecting much, since the only games I want right now are Pokémon X (which is unlikely to get discounts) and Ys IV: Memories of Celceta (which Walmart most likely won’t carry and which probably wouldn’t get significant discounts three days after release even if they did have it).

Penny Dreadful:

Bound in Blood is not the first game in the series. I can confirm what Papageno is saying about the original, as that’s the only one I’ve played.

Bound in Blood is the Prequel which was released later.

Both games are ok but nothing to write home about coming from today’s perspective (played through both of them on Hard recently).

Just saw this on a couple of other sites. New Pinball FX2 Humble keys were just added to the SteamDB, probably for an upcoming Weekly.

After listening to the latest Qt3 podcast, I would be interesting in trying these out even though I suck at pinball.

Amazon’s new weekly deals are up. Not huge sales, but you can get Payback 2 for $19.99. It unlocks on Steam, of course. They also have some Guildwars 2 stuff 30% off. That makes the base game $34.99. There is also an indie game called Fly’n for $3.33. It also unlocks on Steam.

Penny Dreadful:

My order page now says that one of the monitors I ordered (the 23" HP IPS) has shipped. It says “processing” on the others. Fingers crossed!

If you’re ever looking to make a modest profit on one of those 27" models, let me know :)

Penny_Dreadful · 2013-11-07T04:32:29.000Z

Doubt it’s going to happen, but the 23 and all of the 27s have shipped (and will be on site today) while only the 24 is marked as canceled. It all depends on how much money they put back into my account now. Hopefully they only decided to cancel part of the order instead of the whole thing.

There never was much hope. Just a fool’s hope.

Giaddon:

He’s talking about Call of Juarez. The first.

Very cool, my mistake then. I never knew that existed!

Brad Grenz:

Payday 2 for $19.99.

Unless you have it or just plain hate Ubisoft, its a wonderful deal at that price.

Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger are in a doublepack on Steam for $12.49

So the Groupees Be Mine X Bundle is two-thirds of the way to unlocking it’s next free bonus game, which is:

Kings’ Bounty - Warriors of the North : Valhalla Edition

Holy crap, that is a serious steal. Keep in mind, you get that for simply buying the $1 base bundle, though I would seriously consider tossing more money at Groupees for charity given that Warriors of the North : Valhalla Edition retails for $32 all by itself.

No idea how legitimate Stacksocial is, but the first Modern Warfare was more like the WW2-era Call of Duty games than anything that came after it. I believe the multiplayer still has a community, or at least it did a year ago when I last played it.
