Like, if you paid $1 the first time can you pay the current average minus the $1 you originally paid, or what? Yes, you're right, you can top up your original payment to beat the new average. It just closes the loophole of getting the second week Beat The Average games by paying only $1 in the first week and then not having to top up at all.

Patrick R Posted September 23, 2013 I always suspected there was some loophole with the charity aspect which meant that publishers could write off "sales" of their games through Humble Bundle as donations, since they aren't forcing the consumer to give them any specifically sized cut of the sale.

Ben X Posted September 26, 2013 Gun Monkeys free weekend has just started, plus it's 50% off if you decide to buy. http://t.co/VxAxrdf2Ia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted September 26, 2013 Hmm, parts of the Steam website are blocked at work and that link looks like a mess. Could you give me the elevator summary of what Gun Monkeys is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justin Leego Posted October 10, 2013 Alright Thumbs. Who's up for splitting a Borderlands 2 four-pack? I nabbed one off GamersGate for supercheapsies. Steam redeemable, of course. Downside: it's the base game only. Doesn't contain any of the DLC - no pre-order bonus, extra characters, funny and pensive expansions, multitudinous skins and billions of hot-swappable heads and glolden keyz. Upside: it's super flippin' bananas in a pancake cheap. Like, 2.5 eurodollars cheap. I was going to wait for the Ultimate GOTY Compleat Compendium but at this price, all that extra gubbins can go on sale later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonCole Posted October 10, 2013 Borderlands 2 is old enough that the Season Pass often goes on sale at the same time/rate the base game is on sale. For instance, if Borderlands 2 is 75% off in the next Steam sale, it's likely that the season pass will also be discounted 75% to $7.50 (or whatever the EU funny money amounts to).

Justin Leego Posted October 10, 2013 Oh definitely agree with you there, that's what I'm hoping for towards the end of the year. The pass isn't part of the GamersGate weekend right now though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tanukitsune Posted October 16, 2013 The new Groupess Bundle has Hatoful Boyfriend, the pidgeon dating sim, so I assume we'll all be buying it? :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juv3nal Posted October 29, 2013 So there's a Steam Halloween sale, apparently. I picked up Mercenary Kings, Spelunky, and Monster Loves You for about $23 total. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sclpls Posted October 29, 2013 I picked up Atom Zombie Smasher and Sid Meier's Pirates! for a little under $5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feelthedarkness Posted October 30, 2013 People should get Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines! It's great, and like KOTOR 2 it's in perpetual fan development. Some guy restored a bunch of cut content, and has been regularly patching it for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted October 30, 2013 Isn't Mercenary Kings still in early access? It's been in early access forever now. :| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dartmonkey Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) I've got myself into a place where I'm not buying games I want because I've got a backlog of Humble Bundle to get through. Papers Please, Skulls of the Shogun, Cart Life, The Stanley Parable, Papa & Yo, Gone Home - they're gonna end up in an upcoming bundle before I've got through *checks Steam*... Brutal Legends, Fez, FTL, Little Inferno and Trine 2, not to mention a half dozen randoms. And listening to an old podcast episode just inspired me to pick up Beatles Rockband off ebay with the drums, bass and mic. Too much game.And I've just added the WB Humble Bundle to the list. Batmans, FEARs, Scribblenauts. Edited November 5, 2013 by dartmonkey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted November 7, 2013 This weeks Humble Weekly Bundle is Daedalic Ent.: https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly It's a German adventure game company, their games are quite enjoyable. All the games I've played are "3rd generation" adventure games, and with that I mean, purely mouse based with either view or action commands (and inventory combinations) (1st generation = text; 2nd generation is 9 commands; 2.5 generation is command wheel) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLastBaron Posted November 7, 2013 Also included in the bonuses along with the normal soundtrack and art book is a PDF with Deponia paper craft characters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted November 7, 2013 I've heard good things about Deponia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted November 7, 2013 Deponia is ok. (I still have to finish the 2nd game). I liked the "A New Beginning" and "Chains of Satiniva" games more. But that's mostly theme/story related as the gameplay is mostly the same in all those adventure games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted November 7, 2013 Deponia's pretty funny. It's also pretty stereotypical. Exactly what you'd expect from a game starring a lazy dumb selfish dude chasing after a pretty woman. A New Beginning and Chains of Satinav are very nice looking games. The former has a very smack-you-in-the-face propaganda sorta message to it and still managed to be enjoyable, and the latter is a typical fantasy sorta story and still managed to be enjoyable. Harvey's New Eyes has the most atrocious art style, but I found myself enjoying the game nonetheless. It's very genuine in its overtly cartoonish-but-still-grotesque violence. I don't know. I binged on all of those games at once when I got the bizarre urge to play through all the adventure games in my Steam account. I'd say they're all pretty much on par in terms of gameplay. Just depends on what you prefer theme-wise (like elmuerte said). The Whispered World, Journey of the Roach, and the two Shakespeare games, though, I have not played.
