Yeah, as much as I’d quite like Wargroove, and potentially Genesis Alpha One, this is easily the worst Choice I’ve seen to date. My pre-caffeinated brain tried to convince me that I may as well hang on, but no! Brain! Have some caffeine! And some sense of decency!
Like @stusser I have a reminder alert to pause, because I like to leave it until the last minute so I don’t lose access to the potential HB store discount for the rest of the month. This is less than 100% reliable only because it’s me we’re talking about.

This! I’ve looked at all 12 games over a cup of coffee. Found out the number of them I really want to play is exactly as big as the overlap with my library: 0. So I decided not to waste money on nice to have titles for my pile of shame. The offered $2 discount didn’t change my mind.

I’ve posted 6 (now 5) humble choices in the giveaway thread, pm fast!
Their new book bundle is a lot of game comics & a few novels:
Anything really good in here? I’ve read the Mass Effect ones, they were okay.
Calling it, Battle Brothers is in the next bundle.
That would be a good prediction.

i would LOVE for this to be the case
Think I will have to retract my prediction as there was a new DLC out which is obviously the reason for the discount!
Actually, include the game in a bundle when a new DLC is out is a savvy business decision.

Glancing through the Killing Floor bundle, my eyes snagged on a name. The Chickenator Pack? Sadly, the art convinces me it’s not Tom making a cameo.
this is a good point. prediction is back on!
Agreed, plus Battle Brothers has been discounted anywhere from 40% to 66% several times at several storefronts over the past year or so, meaning it has about drawn all the sales it’s going to draw on it’s own. Bundling it is the logical next move, and as you say, would drive purchases of the DLC up in turn.
It’s been on my wishlist forever, so I’d love to see it in a Humble Choice in the next month or two.
Ohhh very good call, I was about to buy these but now I can wait.
Lots of Battle Brothers talk in this thread lately. What genre of game is it?
Some kind of Smash Bros for the PC, I’m guessing?
…
Yeah, exactly that.
it isn’t a hardcore and gritty medieval tactical squad game with management aspects of a band of mercenaries, no sir.
Well, that’s a pretty terrible name then.

It is a lighter Mount & Blade world map mechanics + turned based squad tactics (instead of M&B’s real time battles).

OK looking again at the games this month, I decided to pause. I’d rather give my money to games I’m actually interested in when there’s virtually nothing good in the list.
Pause reminder, charges tomorrow night.
They gave me a coupon when I did - it’s good until november.
One of next week’s games will be Vampire tM: Coteries of New York
By next week, do you mean next month’s (yet to be revealed games) or do you mean some sort of secret add-on for this month’s games?
