Software update ate my post earlier. Trying again:
Humble Double Fine Bundle
Pay what you want for:
- Costume Quest
- Psychonauts
- Stacking
Pay more than the average for:
- Brutal Legend
Pay more than $35 for:
- Broken Age (the Double Fine Kickstarter adventure game)
Pay more than $70 for:
- a t-shirt (really?)
This is a great deal for the first three games, which are all excellent. Unfortunately the average is rapidly climbing and it's more than I'm willing to pay for Brutal Legend.

I'm betting Iron Brigade and/or The Cave will get added at some point, but I could be wrong. If either does, that might talk me into grabbing the bundle.I already own all of these
I have those too

System Shock 2 is now available on Steam, and is on sale for $6.99. I don't know how this compares to the GOG-ified version in terms of getting it to run on modern systems.

Carmageddon for android is free today (will be 2 bucks tomorrow) in the google play store (and the IOS version is too, I think, in the app store). I got it. It's a pretty good port and very nostalgic... and usually I can't stand mobile games of this nature, but it works pretty well.
I tried the tilt-control but couldn't get the hang of it, but it looks neat while I crash. Digital control (on screen buttons) is just fine though.

Rainslick Precipice of Darkness 3 for steam FREE today before midnight if you're fast enough with the code it gives you (it seems too many people are trying it at once and it might dish you out a code that someone else could beat you to using, it took me a couple tries with the steam activation code window on stand-by to get it)

edit: an official comment on the facebook page indicates that the issue of the captcha not working and invalid codes being generated is being worked on.

Well that explains why the website has been down all day.
Meh. I've never played the first two and honestly, with the two very disrespectful Kickstarters, I have no interest in anything Penny Arcade related.
It seems some games have been on Sale on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=Mayhem Deals?ie=UTF8&docId=1000716161 The prices are about on par with what you'd pay during a Steam Sale, so not bad if there's a game in there you haven't happened to snatch on Steam yet.

Humble Bundle Weekly sales are back with an Alan Wake bundle. Pay what you want for the collector's edition, along with American Nightmare, and a ton of bonus content including soundtracks, comics, videos, concept art, screenplays, etc. I haven't played any survival horror before, so I grabbed it.
American Nightmare is completely different, which makes sense as it's drawing it's inspiration from a completely different source. If Alan Wake is drawing from guys like Stephen King, American Nightmare is drawing from the Twilight Zone and B-Movies. This makes it much more action packed and the tools you get are much better than they were in the original.
American Nightmare isn't really a sequel though. It's more like an expansion, as it's tying up a few of the loose threads from the original game. It's fun though.
Here's a treat. This is the Poets of the Fall video for War, which is basically a real world take on Alan Wake (even starring the guy they used as a model for him). They did a few songs for the game, as themselves and as "The Old Gods of Asgard".
EDIT: Went and got two copies of the bundle. Remedy deserves the money, even if Alan Wake has to go on hiatus as a series. They really tried to give us something different and succeeded in some many ways... and it's not like it's their fault that investors have an unrealistic expectation on sales. Alan Wake sold more than 3 million copies. That's fantastic sales, no matter how you look at it.

Remember when Epic made hands-down the best PC FPS games ever? (Hint, 2004). Well, it's been 15 years since the first Unreal game gave us our first real reason to buy a 3D accelerator (YEAH 3DFX VOODOO), and to commemorate that (and gloss over the 9 years of neglect with a side of consolitis they've shown the PC world since UT2004) they're packaging up all the Unreal games for 10 bucks on steam. Even to this day I still sometimes break out my UT2004 with all the mods, custom characters, community map packs, etc and give it a whirl.[DOUBLEPOST=1369302625][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh, also the latest Sins of a Solar Empire "standalone expansion," "SOSE: Rebellion" is on sale today until 4p pacific for 14 bucks (66% off)." Finally priced reasonably enough for me to pick up a couple copies - been playing SOSE:Trinity up til now. Looking forward to finally building some titans, and seeing if corvettes are worth anything.
Fuck yeah, I'm donating some and giving them away on here.

Really? In a sort of, zergling-rush swarm-them-so-they-can't-target-all-of-us sort of way?
They have abilities that slow down, cripple and reduce the effectiveness of capital ships. So they definitely need support to do damage, but they can make it very difficult for a capital ship to effectively fight back and extrememely difficult for one to warp away.
Unreal Tournament 2004 was and is still the king in my books.

2K4 was the zenith of the multiplayer FPS. Don't forget to get all the community map packs, and there are even custom character models out there. I usually play as Agent Smith.

Humble Indie Bunde 8 has arrived
- Little Inferno
- Awesomenauts
- Capsized
- Thomas Was Alone
- Dear Esther
Pay more than the average for:
- Hotline Miami
- Proteus
For me the gem of this bundle is Little Inferno. I haven't played it, but I've heard good things about it, and that's why I snapped it up.
The only one I have played is Dear Esther, which isn't so much a game as a story, but it's an enjoyable trip.

Personally I think Hotline Miami and Awesomenauts are the big winners in this one. Either way, phenomenal steal.
Sweet, I just picked this up. For once, a humble bundle that I don't already own. The only game I own is also Dear Esther, and if anyone wants that steam key for free, feel free to hit me up with a pm.
