My wish list just took a significant hit. I’m pretty stoked about DOOM for $19.79 with all of the praise it’s gotten.
Some of the rest I might even get around to playing.

You each pick a faction and play for a combined victory. In battles, you can share units. For instance, in the Shogun 2 co-op campaign I have going now, I usually handle the front line while leaving the cavalry for my partner.

TWW forces you to pick different races stock, but there’s a mod which gives different legendary lords distinct starting positions, so you can team up with someone else of the same race.

Add Interplanetary to my list. $5.09

If I’m not mistaken then WD2 is bundled with some kick-ass microphone for 80$ at the moment. See the Bargain thread. Maybe you can make a deal with somebody who only wants the mic.

I can only get 1 game.
Toss up between:

  1. Rogue Wizards
  2. Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander

Not sure which to get… any advise?

Man, those are both great. Tough choice.

Damage so far:

Salt & Sanctuary $12
RAGE: Sorchers DLC $3
Mini Metro $6

Total so far: $21

Thanks for the tip! I needed a mic so I just ordered that bundle myself. :)

I’d be interested to hear what you think of this one. Seems pretty cool and will probably get it at some point. There’s no complicated combos, right?

I picked up Falcon 4.0 for $3.49, just so I could install BMS on it.

Helldivers and DLC on the list now, for $20. It’s brilliant, and that probably wraps up my sale purchases.

I didn’t, no. The Zubmarine bit wasn’t really discounted that much, and I figured I might aswell try ‘vanilla’ first. Was that a bad call? I can still get a refund on it and wait for a better offer on the bundle in the future if the expansion is essential… (like I said: what I bought now will probably see me through next year anyway).

For myself, I have bought little things.

Twilight Struggle for my iPad: it works, and it’s beautiful. I am surprised at how evocative the game is through its gameplay. Sometimes, the majority is actually right?! GASP

Bohemian Killing on PC, a game I learned first about from a giveaway on one of Tom’s streams, and which has intrigued me since then. It is really atmospheric and… unusual, to say the least - it seems half the reviewers on Steam couldn’t accept that you are the murderer and aren’t going to timetravel your way out of it. I experienced issues with the controls on a non-standard keyboard, but the author told me he will fix it with a patch early next year.

And, well, Antihero should be part of this basket too, I guess!

I am still eyeing N++, Opus and, as in every sale, Chaos Reborn… Well, not Chaos Reborn anymore, as some awesome British Santa came in.

Yeah, a definite maybe from me also. It really clicked for me as I enjoyed exploring each hand crafted map and gradually increasing the power of my heroes through gear and abilities and trying to figure out how to advance as there is a pretty rigid path of power you need to follow through the game/maps. This can be a little frustrating as if you go in the wrong direction, you can quickly run into fights that are impossible.

If you can get past this and the many battles, ala Icewind Dale as Left_Empty mentions, there is a lot of good RPG goodness in there if it fits your taste.

That looks awesome… and sounds like a much better idea than me digging out my damn discs!

I keep throwing my money at the screen, but Steam won’t give me that one just yet.

I don’t know about Rogue Wizard but I totally bounced off of Halycon 6. I thought it wasn’t nearly deep enough gameplay wise.

No, not at all. I just happened to pick it up and was curious. Haven’t played it yet, myself.

Pinball FX2 tables: Earth Defense, Captain America, Mars, and Portal.

Total damage: $3.50.

Gonna be a pinball weekend.

Merry Christmas, everybody!

Thanks for the reminder. I need to pick up a few tables myself.
