Why do I get my hopes up for something remotely interesting on the flash sales?
So many wasted spots for these games thats been in the humblebundle

As crazy as it might seem, they're still gonna sell a bunch of copies of these games that are in the Humble Bundle. There is still a whole bunch of people who are steam users who have never heard of any of these bundles.

This is what really irks me. There's stuff like Deathspank that's sold for $7.50 each (more than DEADSPACE!) that could use one of those spots. Or Rune Classic or Hero Academy or no end of semi decent obscure games that don't get dailies/flash.

I've been wondering about this all sale as Amazon in particular trounced them in price. I suppose with millions of users there's still a good percentage that probably don't go on forums or know there's options other than Steam.

Even the King's Bounty sales are tepid. Almost positive they used to sell that stuff at 80% off, $5 for Platinum Edition, etc.

Finally something I want today. Just grabbed AC:R.

Still waiting on that goddamned Primordia flash deal Steam...

Yeah...price a lil' steep for me.

Damn that's a good deal. Need To The Moon. Can't navigate GOG for shit tho.

I don't think the Platinum Edition was ever that low. Steam tends to bottom out at 75% for most things.

It's been a pretty long sale thus far; kind of hard to believe we still have another week [the 5th is on Sat, encore on Sun?, sale ends Mon the 7th?]

Hmm... the Broken Sword trilogy is $2. Might bite. http://store.steampowered.com/app/33610/

Haven't touched a single one of those from IndieGala IX...

It's $39 at GetGamesGo but Non-Steam...

I finished up Coconut Queen, and found it really enjoyable.

Did I miss something, though?

Or did they just lay down a lot of foreshadowing that never got answered as a joke?

They are very good adventure games.

There are two different endings. One of them is for just doing the required stuff, and one is for doing all the side missions. Neither of them answer all the questions. It was all supposed to lead to an eventual sequel that will never happen.

I had had to restart the rocky level and clear as much as possible as soon as it stats, because after a few minutes it locks it out.

There is a cut scene ending and a dancing ending on the game maps. There are bugs getting one or the other. My steam profile has screen shots of the whole thing if curious.

The sequel would have the Kumquat King with servant women farming the land.

Here's the info on what would have happened in the sequel.

I did all the side stuff before finishing, so I got the blowing up the volcano and then watching everyone dance ending.

I'll check your profile to see the other one.

*Edit: Pantsattack pretty much covered the deal with CQ in a nutshell. Too bad there will be no Kumquat King.

Yeah there are two Coconut Queen endings, the dancing one and the cliffhanger story one.

I only ever got the dancing one. :(
