I don't look unlike Rick Grimes, btw. Though I still have (spoiler, spoiler, spoiler).

But yeah, they executed piss-poorly everywhere.

I don't have a lot of experience with physics puzzlers (I don't think Portal counts for this discussion), but I kept seeing Crazy Machines compared to Bad Rats, and I hope that series sees a reasonable discount soon.

So what are the odds that the daily deal next Friday is Revelations 2012?

I'm going to go with a flash sale of the entire Steam store for free because, it, the world's gonna be over anyways

+1

Is that Bad Rats offer still out there?

After seeing everybody else's response to him though, I guess I was probably wrong. If you guys are right, it was kinda a dick move to bitch about a give away. He's lucky that he didn't end up with Bad Rats.

I originally typed something nicer and changed it after I looked at his posting history. To me that made it clear what kind of person I was dealing with.

I dropped a Bad Rats code here a while ago. No one ever said they used it or tried though.

I played it for a while years ago, and from what I remember, I have the same opinion of the game.

That said, I did stop playing and haven't bothered to go back again to complete it.

I think most of the people in here are aware that Amazon has started its bigger winter deals, so I won't highlight the deals that are in that thread already. However, there are some other interesting stuff in there (all should activate on Steam, according their page. I'm not saying these are the best deals on the item ever or that they won't be beaten in the Winter sale, but I'm only mentioning those that seem to be competitive. (I'll update if I see anything else.)

Might and Magic Clash of Heroes : $2.54
Viking: Battle for Asgard : $5.09
Payday the Heist (4 pack) : $14.99
Jet Set Radio: $3.39

Cheers for that. I really should be supporting GOG more than I have been.

Rigonauts is the daily for $3.39 (66% off). Six CAGs on my friends list want it, and it doesn't look that bad...but I can see it being a bundle game soon. How many bundles has World of Goo been in? Exactly.

Blade's caught in a time warp.

The daily deal for today is the really excellent Defender's Quest for $5. There is a chance the publisher site might update the price, as getting it there also gets you a GoG key as well.

Oh...so NOW it updates to Defender's Quest for $5.09 (66%). This one looks like it'll be bundled, too, so I stand by my previous statement. ;P

I was going to post pretty much the same thing and for a second I thought that I had and forgot that I did until I realized that was Blade.

I guess I've gotten pretty jaded, because I do want to play this, but it doesn't look like it's worth even $5 to me when it looks like bundle fodder. Maybe the Humble bundle that's about to drop? I'm not sure of the dev relationships to know if that's realistic, but that would be nice.
