I’ve never played the Full Spectrum Warrior games but I hear they’re pretty good.

Nice, picked up a couple of dirt cheap Vita games.

I’ve tried three times now to load that $10 Aussie games page, fails each time. Either the entire country is falling over itself over the notion of actual cheap games here, or the government is blocking it until it finds a way of taxing it.

It was slow for me this morning but it got there. And the games have shipped already! :D

edit: And they only charged $2 for postage!

Someone was sad they missed Expeditions Conquistador. It’s back on sale for $5 on GOG.

Or still in the Humble Weekly for $6with a bunch of other games.

The difference is the publisher. On GOG the dev (-> self-publishing) gets dollars, in the Humble Bundle probably only cents.

Nightgaunt · 2013-11-18T21:07:48.000Z

Yeah, I ended up going with the Humble Bundle version. I didn’t imagine the sale would be going on this much longer, or that E:C would come up again. Paid an extra dollar, had problems with payment processing and got double-billed, and had to deal with the weird Steam account check. I like Humble Bundle a lot, but I wish I’d waited.

“Hey guys, look at this! Great Steam coupons! Just sign in through this unassociated site with your Steam info!”

“Come on, Charlie, it’s Candyland!!”

How about no?

I’m guessing it’s just using Steam as an openID provider - the Humble Bundle site does the same thing.

FLEEE IN TERROR FROM THE HUGE SEAL (STEAM SALE)

Its valid, maybe an apology from rhino…

Correct. This seems to come up every time a third party uses Steam for authorization.

I would have assumed it was a scam as well. You never know these days. We weren’t even sure if GMG was legit during its early days.

Giaddon · 2013-11-19T07:04:48.000Z

It’s just for a bunch of indie games I already have :(

krayzkrok · 2013-11-19T07:45:56.000Z

I’m the opposite, it’s for a bunch of indie games that are in my wishlist. My wallet has hidden itself behind the sofa.

Giaddon · 2013-11-19T08:27:47.000Z

Sweet Borderlands 2 deals on GMG.

Arma 2 complete Collection with 80% off (6€ in total) Steam Version.

Bohemia Interactive Store

Buy downloadable games from Bohemia Interactive.

Includes

Arma 2
Operation Arrowhead
British Armed Forces
Private Military Company
Army of the Czech Republic

I’m tempted to buy it because install everything is a pain in the ass (I have some in dvd, other stuff in digital stores, then update everything by hand)

New “bundle stars” bundle. http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/outer-limits-bundle/

Currently at £2.98 for a bunch for a bunch of Steam games I’ve literally never heard of. (except possibly puzzle kingdoms, assuming it’s puzzle quest?). I don’t usually like racing games, but Insane looks fun. “Warfare” looks terrible, but claims to be £15 on Steam.

I’m not sure if it’s worth £3.

edit: Whoa. There’s another bundle for £3 with Rune (great game – loved it at release time, and I think I played a Linux version aswell?), the ever-loved Mount and Blade, but more importantly: A GAME ABOUT BEING A BADGER.

I’ve been waiting a long time for a sequel to Wolf and Lion. Could this be it?! I’ll find out! I spent more on the pub quiz yesterday.

By posting these bundles, I can’t help but feel like I’m somehow contributing to an 80s style games crash. I imagine I’d feel worse if I paid £3 for that first bundle, though.
