  • The entire Good Old Games catalogue is currently 50% off. Look at the precedent you have set, Steam. Look at it. My wallet laments.
    Oh hell. I just sold a ton of shit on eBay and got my last GeekDad book advance. My PayPal account is flush. Must... transfer to savings account... before I blow it all.

  • Assassin's Creed Revelations in on Sale as the Amazon Gold Box Deal of the Day. Pay 36 dollars instead of 60 on PS3 or 360! Get it while it's hot!

    9 9 9 is also the lightning deal for DS right now. Game is supposed to be pretty good, a rated M "visual novel". Like a gritty Layton of Phoenix Wright. Picking it up for the wife.

    I've played it, it's good. However, it's bullshit that you have to play it at least twice to get the real ending. I suggest playing it once, then watch all the endings on YouTube.

    That's pretty standard for VNs. You have to play Fate/Stay Night 3 times to go through all the routes, though they are fairly different. I think Tsukihime has something like 9 different endings, with True, Bad, and Normal versions of some of them.

    Follow Scott advice and miss much of the content, both puzzles and plot.

    If you want to get most out of the 999 with the least amount of effort. Look from faq how to get safe-ending first and true ending then. You have to play through the game twice, but those two routes should have different story moments and puzzles.

    I spend one weekend-day, last spring, playing thought all of the endings of that game. It took a while and doing same puzzles multiple times was little frustrating but I have no regrets.

    How do you miss anything? The videos on Youtube show every second of gameplay, every puzzle, and every line of dialog. It's just faster.

    Ok, then don't buy the game, just watch everything on Youtube. Not the same experience if you ask me, but it's one way to do it.

  • Humble Bundle 4's live. There's some good shit in thar.
  • Its worth it for cave story and meat boy alone.
  • I seriously need to stop buying indie games outside of bundles. Again I already have all the interesting games on that bundle. But for anyone who doesn't already have Cave Story+, Jamestown and Super Meat Boy, get that bundle.
  • The only one I don't have is Cave Story +, which I kinda want. Will probably get just for that.
  • I'm in, solely for Cave Story, the only other game I didn't have was Night Sky, and well, I'm not that interested in it.
  • The only one I don't have is Cave Story +, which I kinda want. Will probably get just for that.
    I haven't played Cave Story yet, but it's long been on my list of "play one day." Based on what I know of that game it's worth the $5 itself.

  • First time I buy a bundle where I only have one of the games so I ended up paying $10 for the lot. All of the other games, I wanted to play (except night sky, this is the first time I've heard about it), so I think it was kind of a steal for me.
  • I just thought of something. Why is the other charity the Red Cross rather than the EFF like it's been in years past?
  • You all know how much I love this game, so I will repeat it again. PLAY JAMESTOWN!
  • Indie Royale Christmas is looking snazzy, too. There's a cool Oil Rig sim, Eetz, Dino D-Day, and one other game I've never heard of.

    Thank you, Indie Gaming Santa!

    The HIB guys had the developers vote on which charities to donate to, and for whatever reason they chose Red Cross this time. They expect that future bundles will return to the EFF, though.

    How do you guys usually allocate your monies? I usually donate it all to charity, especially when I have already purchased the games.

    Also, Super Meat Boy for Linux! I never thought it would happen... (from their Twitter bio:)
    Out on Steam and Xbox360 and FINALLY Mac. Linux port will come when the number of avid Linux users that aren't virgins reaches 12. Also never on PS3 sorry:(

    You know, I've yet to see an Indie Royale Bundle that has games in it I want.

  • Eufloria and Really Big Sky were worth it in one of the older bundles. I've been wanting Dino D-Day, and Eetz is supposed to be really good (it's by the team behind Shank).

    I think Indie Royale is finally starting to get some traction as a worthwhile bundle program, and their site isn't nearly as jank as the Indie Gala site.

    I've been wanting Dino D-Day
    Everything I read pointed at that game being absolutely terrible. One review said "The loading screen is the best part. No seriously."

    Really? Fuck that noise. Glad I didn't buy that pack yet.

    There was a time when I really wanted it based on premise alone. Then, one day I watched a few gameplay videos... looked pretty boring unfortunately. ;_;
  • I always allocate mine all to the developers, I know charity seems like the moral cause, but these indie developers deserve my money. I give to Childs Play directly, donate anything I don't use instead of throwing it out, and almost exclusively buy used games, so I probably should be giving 100% to developers.
  • Hunble Indie bundle 4. Get it while it's hot.

    Just now. You were informed very quickly. You would have been informed more quickly if you paid attention to any major gaming site of some sort.

    I mean who does that anymore, right? :-p
    I know what I'm doing tonight then.
