Has that game been in other bundles? I honestly can't keep track of what Men of War games have been in what bundles.

It's crap like this that makes me wish that damned Amazon 1C bundle would get here so I wouldn't have to wrack my brain trying to figure out which bundle Men of War # 335 has been in.

Nope, it's the first time it's been in a bundle. Men of War Vietnam was given away by gamefly, it's also in the bundlestars bundle. Men of War was in Build a Bundle 4, and Indie Gala 11. Men of War Red Tide was in Indie Gala 11. I don't know how I manage to remember all of this stuff lol.

One of the Men of Wars (I think maybe Red Tide?) was given away by GMG a while ago, possibly last year.

Best all-in-one-page for figuring, "wasn't that in a bundle?" is over on this steam thread.

Oddly enough, I regularly follow that thread but I never check the OP. Go figure.

ROTFL

It's clear that these idiots don't know squat about video games.

It was also given away by IGN back in February. For whatever that's worth.

Just like our steam thread! We have an OP?

It is automatically better than any Humble Bundle, due to the fact that the keys are individual. And these guys don't ing delete your account page after you buy without reason, explanation, or refund.

At the risk of taking this thread off topic, I guess I gotta ask. Humble deleted your account page?

Groupees always hypes their bundles. They know the THQ bundle is better, but of course they're gonna say "This is the best bundle ever!"

This is probably my least favorite Be Mine so far. Still, happy to get a couple games like Enclave (which has good reviews and has only been around $3 on GOG a few times) and Paranormal. Also nice to get Condemned Heroes simply to pad out my Men of War collection (how many are there, honestly?).

And 3 more bonuses after this? Who knows what they've got up their sleeve...

Ok, amused that some Jolly songs are part of the bonus for this bundle, considering I was listening to the album today. I do want people to check them out, because they are a very good band.

I'm also having a hard time justifying paying $5 for this one, since most of the games I want are at the $1 level.

Goal 7 was reached. New goal announced.

Goal 8 @8,000 bundles sold: Rico - A Tale of Two Brothers
INDIE SPOTLIGHT: DRM-FREE for PC/MAC/Linux. Special Groupees Alpha Build! Rico is an old school jump’n’run game! Run across the levels, jump over obstacles, climb mountains, explore caves, swim through water. Collect coins throughout each level. Avoid mines, acid pits and various deadly enemies along the way. Find upgrades to get abilities like high jump or wall climbing. Reach magic stones to activate checkpoints. Find and use weapons to combat enemies. Fly with a jetpack. Face off against enemies in epic boss battles. Find hidden areas. Hop on moving platforms. 4 difficulty levels to keep you challenged. If you like platformers, you’ll love Rico!

Man I hate when they add DRM free games to bundles as bonuses. I feel like a kid who unwrapped a Christmas present only to find out it's clothes and you have to fake a weak smile and pretend to be grateful to your Aunt that didn't get you what you really wanted.

Ugh.. another "special" alpha build? Do not want. I'm fine with alpha games that come with Desura keys, because you know they'll eventually be updated.. but not this "special" alpha build crap that will never be updated.

Hopefully I'm wrong and they give us a desura key or something. Can't really know for sure based on the wording.

Yeah... I had no problem getting 99 Levels to Hell as an alpha build, but it was a Desura key. Easy updating. Hopefully they'll update the download on Groupees when the beta rolls along and such.

Not sure what use there is about complaining at DRM-free games though. I love DRM-free, and so do lots of people. I'd rather not Steam take over the entire internet... just most of it.

I think people are starting to use "DRM-free" to mean anything where you just download an installer, instead of using a digital download store client. This is mostly referring to the fact that you have to manually track, download and install any updates to the game. Obviously 99% of the games on Desura are DRM-free (in the real meaning of the term) but Desura will update it for you if it needs to (which is why I like Desura more than Steam).

True, I'd rather have a Desura key than DRM-free too, for that reason, but DRM-free is still DRM-free.

I haven't had bad experiences with Groupees, and I use them often, so it's not a big deal for me. Now Bundle-in-a-Box... I'd rather not have DRM-free from them. Just comes down to preference to what sites you frequent, I suppose.

Bundle in a box was down for me for a while so I can understand that concern.

If the final bonus is not Eschalon Book 2, I will whine considerably. Just saying.

Yes thank you. This is exactly what I meant.

Also my post was meant somewhat tongue in cheek comparing myself to a kid not getting the present they wanted, realizing that it's a bit spoiled of me to complain about something for free.

I'm sure that Jonny said that it was "something different" and not on Steam.
