I was an backer on this or something. I can’t even remember how I got it. I stuck with it for a couple of hours, but it was just…dull.

Incidentally, amazon.com started their own digital games sale today. Use this link to browse the games, and if you feel like, double back to QT3 front page and search for the game again before buying it! There are Assassin’s Creeds, Calls of Dutys, Fallouts, and other AAA titles.
Amazon has their summer sale going on now!
Better prices on the AssCreed games, exampleAC:Rogue Digtial Deluxe is $15.
I am not a big fan of the “click to reveal the deal” style Amazon is using for this sale. On the other hand, it’s better than GamersGate, who’s interface is terrible. “Here’s 647 games on sale, we’re not going to feature any of them, sort them in any way, or otherwise clue you in on what might be a good deal, we’re just going to leave it to you to browse through them and find what you’re looking for.” Ugh.
Yeah, I tried looking through both of those and gave up quickly. Gamersgate at least lets you sort by discount percentage, but Amazon is just a mess.
Yeah 5 minutes on there and I just think ill wait a week for the Steam sale instead
So what’s the story with AC:Rogue (which totally flew under my radar)? Is it worth checking out, or should I just play Freedom Cry instead if I want more AC sailing ship type play?
I picked up The Walking Dead Pack on the Gamersgate sale for $10 (80% off). Seemed like a good deal.
edit also:
Gamersgate also lets you sort by top sellers, which is a pretty good way to separate some of the wheat from the chaff.
I mentioned this in the GOG thread, but worth noting here too:
GOG Summer Sale starts now!
SimCity 2000 - free for everyone who spends at least $1.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky - free for everyone who spends at least $20.
Xenonauts - free for everyone who spends at least $50.

[indent]Why is this game #1 top seller today (day of its release)? Has anyone here heard of it?[/indent]
Public Service: Congratulations to garin for his Kickstarter for Monster’s Den: Godfall making funding goal. Now let’s help push it past all of the stretch goals, 'cos if he’s not busy he’ll start bugging us on J2EE questions. We don’t want that. QT3 thread here.
Huge push on Youtube and other video/streaming people the past couple of days.
Checking my wishlist, I’m wondering why I added Raven’s Cry. 27/100 score. Did someone here recommend it?
I really liked Space Run, I give it a thumbs up!
Freedom’s Cry is pretty much identical to the main game. I believe Rogue moves some of the action into icier climes.
Not me. Let’s check out the page…nice picture of a great facsimile of a Disney Pirate…$55…an entire wall of thumbs down reviews. Neat.
I just bought 2 or 3 things from my wishlist last week; it’s down to a mere 27 games. Yay.
Meanwhile gog.com has added to its sale items. Next update in 12 hours. Some highlights:
