Greybriar:

Well, he was Dan Bunten in 1991 when CHQ was released. He didn’t have a sex change until November 1992 when he became a she and was known thereafter as Danielle.

I still think it’s more proper to use the current gender. If you were writing an article tomorrow about Jenner’s olympic accomplishments, would you use Bruce or Caitlin?

"rhamorim":

It’s a good bundle. Etherlords 1 and 2 are good (if flawed). Wizardry 8 is HUGE and pretty interesting. And Blades of Time, while flawed and a bit clumsy, has some interesting ideas. For the asking price, if you don’t have those games, it’s certainly a good deal.

That’s the thing. I have both Etherlords games as well as Wiz 8, which is why I’m primarily interested in it for Arcadia.

I doubt Valve is the one writing the PR blurbs for games that go on sale, especially considering they’ve pulled games for false advertising in that space before.

Faerie Solitaire is 95% off on Steam this week, that’s less than 50c.

At that price I might bite it. So many people say they love that game.

It’s enjoyable. Trying to get all the eggs is near impossible though without some major luck. So, don’t worry if you never get that achievement ;)

Great I’ve been waiting for a discount on that. I figure it will be a good game for whenever I pick up an ultra portable or Surface where I won’t be able to run the graphics heavy games.

KaoFloppy · 2015-09-14T20:28:18.000Z

Watch out…many of these so called 2D low end graphics casual games makes my ultrabook’s fan spin way way up.

Remarkably, the casual game I just picked up…Divide by Sheep… doesn’t cause my fan to spin at all.

CraigM · 2015-09-15T06:00:00.000Z

But confining to only those games is overly limiting possibilities. I played Xcom and EU IV on my Surface, so even new games are ok, as long as they aren’t super graphics heavy.

That walmart xbone deal is awesome, except I probably won’t play any of the included games. I wonder if all the games are digital downloads?

Probably.

Amnesia is easily one of the best examples of horror gaming in existence.

Big Total War bundle at Humble.

$15 gets you Rome 2, the DLC and lots of prior TW games. Also a 66% off coupon at Humble for Attila.

CraigM · 2015-09-15T11:53:21.000Z

I have most Total War games, but there are a few oddities there I’m interested in. If you don’t have the TW stuff, that is a fantastic bundle.

Telefrog · 2015-09-15T12:20:55.000Z

I think that Humble Bundle Rome II deal is missing a few bits of DLC.

Yeah, but I’d wager a few of those probably pop up in the week 2 portion.

Even aside from that there is a lot of quality gaming there.

SlainteMhath · 2015-09-15T13:25:48.000Z

If you don’t already own Rome II, that $15 tier is a steal. The 2 campaigns and 2 culture packs alone would cost you $15 total during a Steam Sale.

The BTA is also a deal if you don’t already own Attila, as with the 66% off via the Humble Store Attilla would be a little over $15, plus the $5.90 for the BTA tier, means you’d be paying $21 for Attila, $1 cheaper than Steam has it on sale for right now, plus you get all the other stuff from the first two tiers.

I already own damn near everything Total War, but I don’t have the original Shogun and Medieval games on Steam and I don’t own Viking : Battle for Asgard, so I’m going to drop $6 on the BTA tier, then $15 on the Humble Store for Attila (which I also do not own) and consider it a good deal all around.

Pretty much exactly where I’m sitting. I think I have Caesar in Gaul, but not Sparta, but I’m going to wait until the reveal next week to decide on a tier.
