Yup, I didn't even use the Amazon Downloader. Brought CK2, got the CD key and used it on Steam.
Also, I now live at a Pizza Hut in New York. :lol:


I live in the Gamble Memorial Church of God in Miami. Praise Jebuz!


Also, some of the keys I don't really need. If any Codex BROs want a Magicka Complete Collection steam Key or a Magicka The Stars are Left DLC steam key, respond to this thread and I'll PM you the key. first-come, first serve
Hoaxmetal claimed them

Amazon guy on CAG just said this Paradox Pack will be only $13 on Sunday/Monday (I believe a few activate on Steam, perhaps all, but I'm not 100% sure): Crusader Kings II, Magicka Collection (+ Stars are Left DLC), Sword of the Stars II, Swords of the Stars (original complete set), and Victoria II.

Fuck, I already have CK2 and Victoria II (bought CK from an Amazon sale). Not really interested in Swords of the Starts tho. Massive butthurt indeed. :(

FYI I just got off the phone with Paradox.

We're going to extend this sale through the end of the week (6/2) since it is doing so well.

More importantly though. Everyone who purchased the Plentiful Paradox Package, and everyone who chooses to purchase it this week, will get 2 $23 promotional credits, 1 for

Europa Universalis Chronicles

and 1 for

The Hearts of Iron III Collection

That will make both of these games $6 each for those of you looking to round out your Paradox Grand Strategy collection.

Just a note that we won't start giving out the credits until tomorrow likely. There are a couple of people that I need to click a button here and there to turn the promotion on...and I think they are eating burgers right now...

Cheers,
Tony

Shame EU3 doesn't activate on The Steams. I'd be alllllll over that for $6 assuming I could wrangle a credit/code. Which I probably couldn't since it's probably tied to the person who bought the bundle.
Still, summer sale. Summer sale! SUMMER SALE!

Getting a kick out of Alan Wake, though my computermachine doesn't have the grunt to run it very well. It's still playable due to heavy mandatory (Unsure actually, probably should check the options) autoaim, so even with poor performance it's playable. Gameplay as mentioned is pretty shit, holding RMB until you can click LMB a few times, but the atmosphere and Max Payne interaction with the environment and internal monologue is excellent. Just a shame it doesn't have the Max Payne gameplay to go with it. Should be enjoyable for what it is though.

Midweek Madness games are Limbo (wait for an indie bundle... or was it already in one?) and Dungeons Gold. The word is the Dungeons game is pretty terrible but you get all the content for $10. Basically looks sort of like Evil Genius -- can't see how it's as bad as people make it out to be.

Well, there's a demo so I still might give it a whirl. Doubt I'll buy it because if it's only $10 now I'm sure it'll be that or less during the big sale. Shame, it looks sort of interesting.

I'll be honest, sometimes I like tedious shit like Puzzle Quest, etc.

Yeah... okay... I was dead wrong on that one. I played for four or five hours before I just couldn't go on anymore.

Stop listening to Ed, the guy has like 400 hours of Skyrim, 700 hours of Oblivion, and 200 hours of Saints Row 3. The Dungeon games aren't THAT bad although no were near as good as DK 1/2. I'd skip the first one and get the 2nd, it's the better of the two (of course I won't skip either, rebuying both on Steam so I can pad my library....look out Ed, here I come).

Eh, I tried the demo for a bit. Don't like the engine and the demo's explanation of the mechanics were less than clear. I might reconsider during the Summer Sale if for some odd reason I don't buy the twenty or so things that are actually on my wish list.

Look at this fag implying that Saints Row and oblivion/skyrim are in the same category.
I'm implying Ed plays and loves shit games. I take it you disagree?

Nope. And the baseball bat can be upgraded with spikes, but you can't upgrade the penetrator. It wobbles around with physics on both shaft and balls though so you can't use any melee weapon except it. :bounce:
