Your brand of mis-said phrases annoys me.

intense and purposes.

Almost. Try "intents and purposes". People in glass houses and all that.

Ow. My pride.

It's so damn odd I got that correction wrong when I just saw the same mistake made while browsing the reddit comment section

Not to get into a grammar/saying battle, but you're joking right?

The saying is "for all intents and purposes" or "for all intensive purposes"

Not "intense and purposes".

Origins comes from 1500's English law originally stating, "to all intents, construction, and purposes."

Please refrain from calling people out for being correct.


AND ON TOPIC: I can't wait for this bundle to finally go live...the games included in the pack are a really good blend, and I've lucked out in not owning any to date. Fingers crossed for a smooth relaunch.

I'm interested to see how many more platitudes can be mangled before the bundle launches.

Kudos to the CAG's that are waiting patiently.

It's not easy.

Can someone please add a space in the topic title? The long part of the title makes the mobile browser act weird. Thanks

Ya, I really want the Ball, but not for $20. Keep hoping that this will go, and stay live

The savings on this bundle are going to be intense, if we ever get to buy it.

You keep blathering on about 'waiting patiently' like there is some moral high ground in smiling happily while these people bungle eveything up day after day and keep breaking promises.

We're not looking to be canonized for sainthood. We're cheap asses waiting for a deal that we keep being told:

'Sorry, come back tomorrow.'
'Whoops, our bad. Tomorrow again.'
'Tomorrow. For real this time. I swear!'
'uh, tomorrow?'

I'm happy for you if you think this is an okay way to run a promotion after hyping everyone up about it for weeks (remember, we've already been "waiting patiently" for some time before it even started), but don't get smug about it.

My biggest issue was that before the bundle launched you had these guys sending their cronies over to post the teaser vids and spam, and now that they've bungled it they don't have the courtesy to send over one of their spammers to at least update the status of the bundle.

lol I was thinking the same thing.

I shall now reveal the secret behind my patience: I've had other things to do in the meantime. (For example, jobs and hobbies that don't involve the computer.) Thus, whether a bundle launches or not doesn't change my entire week. (At the absolute least, a real CAG would have games in his or her backlog to do in the meantime.)

It may be more of a "zen" thing than a "high ground" one.

I love this guy... I think he's an internet grammar troll just having a laugh, gents. "Irregardless"? Come on.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw sticks and stones may break bones
because two birds in one hand gather no moss.

I have other things to do too, which is why I wasn't one of the people hitting F5 100 times a minute the second the bundle went live on the first day and barely managed to squeeze their order in before the servers imploded.

I have limited time to check into this and what I am finding is every day I come back to check and either the damned page doesn't load or it finally does and I get a message to come back the next day.

Anyway, I like the cliches and platitudes in this thread. They are more entertaining then getting 404 Not Found on a web page.

If it makes you feel any better I didnt hit F5 i got through on my iPhone and ordered on the first day. No wifi, 3G in the bathroom at work. To top it all off I played one of the games for like 2 minutes and haven't even touched the others.
