I guess you could probably install DS1 with Legends of Aranna over the Steam version though. *shrug* Anyway, I'm glad I got them on Steam and would rather have them than not but then again I lost my old discs for them long ago. If I still had them might not have been worth it.

I have the Bundled steam copy of DS1, and the multiple option in the menu is disabled. Everything is still in there so you can put a switch on the shortcut to load directly to the multiplayer and then play. I think they did this because the matchmaking service doesn't exist anymore, but you can still do LAN (and over internet through hamachi and other similar services).

I would be interested to know if these are the same versions, or non-gimped CD versions.

They're steam keys so unless steam has updated their packs, I'd guess it's the same limited version.

Despite the reviews, I actually enjoyed however much I played of DS2 (never finished it) - prob cause by the time I got around to playing it, I was desperate for any DS.

Tony, please consider bringing over more of the older game bundles as well - I'm thinking the quest series (kings, space, police, glory, etc.) and i'd love to have a bundle of the old city building games like pharaoh and caesar; anyone remember those?

For sure we're always working on getting more selection.

Hey CAGS,

Just wanted to give you a heads up that Double Fine has agreed to partner with Amazon on a question and answer session with Ron Gilbert regarding the upcoming title "The Cave".

If any of you want to ask questions about the game post them in the comments and I'll get them over to the Double Fine team ASAP.

We need to have all questions in by early tomorrow morning PST.

Cheers,
Tony

If, by any chance, someone wants to get rid of a Naval War Artic Circle key (Paradox Seas Bundle) I'd be happy to take it of their hands. PM for details/offers.

Hey Tony,

Any chance on a price-match for the Humble THQ Bundle?

Good joke!!

Apparently some CAGs have no shame when hoarding $5 Jan coupons. ^_~

A friend of mine goes nuts over the Paradox games, shared these with him, he was very happy. He says the Warchest is where its at.

I love Civilization, but have never played any of those. I'm a big start fan. Those worth it?

^^^^
Ya the Paradox Bundles are awesome! Great games!

One thing I would like to see is a Paradox SPACE Bundle:
-----> Sword of the Stars 1 - Complete Collection, Sword of the Stars 2, Starvoid, Dark Horizon, and any other games.

I'll leave the price up to Tony, but I would think it would fall in line with the existing bundles.
Would love to see this bundle in time for Christmas!

After watching the trailer, What is the background story of The Cave and characters?

It says The Cave is coming to PC will there be any enhances (such as hi-res textures, triple monitor support or similar) for the PC version?

Will it be available on Steam and if so be Steamworks with achievements?

It says you can play with three characters at one time so will be Online Co-op and/or Local Co-op?

Thanks Tony and Double Fine for the Q&A.

Thanks man! If you know anyone else interested in this game hit them up. I'd like to have a good long list for Ron to look at .

Cheers,

Ask Ron why he signed over the rights of Deathspank to Hothead. They made the poor decision to go with EA as publisher and even after two years the lowest discount they've gotten is 50% off (stuff like Mass Effect and Dead Space has been cheaper).

Sad panda.

Deathspanks 1 and 2... on Amazon... with Steam keys... at 75% off = happy panda!

I've only played Crusader Kings 2, and I love it. I've put ~50 hours in so far and still not getting tired of it. The Civ series may be my all-time favorite games, you may want to check out CK2 (which is part of the Plentiful package).

Any sneak peaks into next Black Friday$ (or was it only before THE Black Friday?) / weekend deals?

Can we expect updates to Editor's Choice list, and if so, when?
At the moment I would be interested in only 3 titles (Dark Souls, Darksiders2, Darkness2) while having ~7 or so coupons. And we still have whole month left!

It rhymes with Mech Pops Duh Brine and it will be a Lincoln.
