Paradox Deals 8/30-9/3:

Plentiful Paradox Package: $9.56
Pint Sized Paradox Package: $7.49
Plethora of Paradox Games: $11.54

Amazon is bringing back the Paradox Packs (some for lower prices). If anyone buys one with Warlock and already owns it, let me know, I'd toss a couple of kwa-bucks at you via Amazon credit for it and help you lower the overall cost.

Did anyone else get a "50% off Saints Row: The Third DLC" coupon? There's always something new.

 

[Metro]

They seem to be giving away more and more coupons to people who own/activate said titles on Steam.

 

[Secretninja]

Yet I never get any.

 

[markec]

Yet I never get any.

Im sorry to say but it seems Gabe hates you.

 

[Metro]

Nice, just grabbed a Warlock key off of someone who got the pack for $3.50. Doubt it ever gets cheaper than that solo for at least a year or more. Will wait for a 75% off sale on the DLC.

Rather than start a new thread for Steam Greenlight I'll just post some games in the hopper I saw and found interesting:

I see this scam is still alive and well.

 

[Metro]

Commented.

 

[kazgar]

Would think a new thread makes sense, as none of those are currently on sale?

I think it'll provide more drama for the codex that way as well.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Commented.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Oh shit. Unrelated to anything, but I Am Alive is coming to Steam/PC apparently.

I remember watching the Giantbomb video of that and thinking it looked neat. That's definitely going on my winter sale list!

 

[Metro]

UPlay DRM possible?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

UPlay DRM possible?

Possible, but it's also possible it won't have it like Rayman Origins which was also made by Ubisoft itself.

Done!

Scam?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Scam?

They've gone extraordinarily long stretches of time with no updates, and when the updates come they're pretty minor. They apparently got burgled and had a lot of their work on a computer got stolen. I'm not really sure how much I believe that given how things have progressed since then.

They've gone from June last year to the present and the additions amount to a few extra "Chunks" of map (Devoid of everything but buildings and zombies), curtains for windows, new zombie sprites (Apparently the fucking artist who does sprites for them moves faster than the programmers), a few new items, and I don't even know I'M GETTING SURLY.

The Codex thread if you want more info as it happened and my $7 of regret.

Warlock is FANTASTIC as a concept, and it actually works fairly well. But it needs the DLC and a finished multi-player.

So I'm waiting for DLC sale + multi to really start playing it. I can't wait though. I got addicted when I played the bare-bones games, had to restrain myself from playing it.

Basement Collection on Steam. Pack of Flash games made by Binding of Isaac guy. No idea if the games are any good but they're something I guess!

 

[Gragt]

Is McMillen so desperate to have something to sell?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Dunno if he's DESPERATE since Meat Boy and Isaac have both sold over a million copies each, I guess he just thought people would like the bundle. I'm kinda leery on it until I hear more about it.

The Cow's faith in God-Gaben waivers!

WOE BE UNTO THE FOLLOWERS OF VALVE!
AND THERE WAS MUCH WAILING AND GNASHING OF TEETH!
AND FLAMING DESTRUCTION DID RAIN DOWN UPON THEM,
FOR THEIR PROPHET THE COW OF MANY HEADS DIDST
UTTER THE PROFANE WORDS OF DOUBT AND DIDST
SHAKE THE RESOLVE OF THE FAITHFUL!

Nonsense. It's not even 75% off yet.

http://www.gamefly.com/Download-Quantum-Conundrum/5004188/ Quantum Conundrum (Steam key) for $3.75, supposed the code 1GFT82012 will knock it down to an even $3. Think I'll probably bite for that, heard it wasn't as good as the Portal games but for $3 it should be fine.

Code GMG25-LABOR-DAYGO on Greenman Gaming should be 25% off anything, which would bring a Dishonored preorder down to $45. Kinda tempting. And to once again push my referral link, http://www.greenmangaming.com/?gmgr=munahatu blap. If you make a GMG account going through that link and buy something $2 or more, you'll get $2 in credit after the order goes through and so will I. Wouldn't apply to your first order, but if there are two things you wanna use that code on you could burn the credit on the second. Assuming the code is multiple use.

 

[Secretninja]

I remember when it gave 5 dollars. Decline of gmg

A Trine 2 DLC has been added to the registry under the name 'Goblin Manace (sic)' -- I presume it is intended to be 'Goblin Menace.' Wonder if it'll be free or pay.
