Idk why you guys complain about dollar days so much. It happened twice on cheaper bundles and hasn't happened again, right? Not to mention you can just buy in early and then help CAGs who missed it out buy selling them bundles for $1.50 each and you make back you money really easy (or make a little profit).

No matter which route you go, waiting or buying early, the result is pretty much the same.

Yeah, it's the same thing.. if you sit around all day selling bundles. Better off getting a job. I'm not gonna play these games anytime soon so I'm better off waiting.

Waiting for a better price is one thing, but do not miss The Longest Journey. I won't say it's indisputably the best point and click adventure game out there, because some people do prefer the Myst style. But if you've ever liked a point and click adventure, or ever wanted to like a point and click adventure, you owe it to yourself to try The Longest Journey. It's pretty unique in that voiced with a pretty large cast of characters, and it's got a real plot instead of just a setup for some silly comedy. The writing is top notch too. I would try to give a summary of the plot, but I think it works better as an experience if you let the game drag you into the story in its own way. The developers seem to agree, since the steam store summary is wonderfully vague on the subject.

The only real flaw is that the puzzles do require some of that famous adventure game logic, and the hardest one is pretty early on. If you google "TLJ duck puzzle", you'll find the one pretty quickly. But the rest of the game is absolutely worth it even if you end up using a walkthrough. And if you're into that kind of thing, the duck puzzle regularly makes it onto lists like "The 6 Most Absurdly Difficult Video Game Puzzles" and "10 Most Difficult Puzzles in Games."

The sequel is good too. It added some questionable mechanics that earned it a bad reputation, but if you like the world they build up in The Longest Journey, I don't see how you could hate Dreamfall. If that gets added to the bundle like the rumors are saying, I'm picking up spares. Multiple spares.

This is a great description and sell.

I think I've bought more of my bundles from Groupees in the last year or so than any other site. The prices aren't as bad as IR, the repeats and shovelware as much as Gala, the disappointment as disappointing as Humble, and there's usually a ton of content (I give the music a listen as I'm entering keys and cataloging/speadsheeting my bundles) of which just the visual stuff is too often unimpressive. I like how Bundle Stars and Blink have put out some impressive non-repeat bundles, but they haven't been around as long.

How does selling bundles require sitting around? You say you're selling them, someone PMs you, you grab them a bundle when you have the time and it takes you like 2 minutes.

You say this like you're not sitting around spodering games off of CAG all day. Such a busy schedule, huh?

I didn't say that I don't have the time for it, I just prefer not to. To most people, a minimum wage job is better than selling dollar days bundles for profit. Also, you're in the minority.. most people won't constantly make trade posts with high prices for indie games and sit on them for several months to make maximum profit.

It takes 30 seconds to repost a list once a day. Selling bundles is in no way comparable to a minimum wage job unless that job doesn't pay by the hour and allows you to do that "job" intermittently for a few minutes at a time.

You idle and sell Steam cards. There's pretty much no difference. Both are easy, happen almost entirely in the background, and only require your attention for a couple minutes a day here and there.

One can "prefer not to", that's fine, but you're playing it up to be something it isn't at all and comparing it to something even less accurate in comparison.

Idling for steam cards doesn't require human interaction, there's a huge difference. You have to make sure people have paid for your bundles, and sometimes Groupees fucks up and doesn't process your payments or doesn't deliver your bundles (this happened before with Drabe). Totally not the same thing. Idling requires one click of a button, then you leave or do whatever you want.

And in the case of other group buys (like Indie Gala), you're pretty much depended on if IG screws up the bundles. You'll have to contact customer service to get them fixed.. which does happen and isn't all that uncommon. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with it, but saying that waiting to buy the Groupees bundle and profiting off of dollars days bundles is the same thing isn't true at all.

The one thing Groupees has is that most bundles that have 1 or 2 OK games that you can get the whole bundle for a dollar. Those are easy buys for me. The build a bundles where I get 3-4 games usually for 1 something-ish are also good buys. This new Be Mine also has a good set of games....maybe the bonuses suck...and hell if we know cause the threshold is so high to unlock the second, but I hope they pull their head out of that crevice and make the bonus unlocks realistic. I am likely supporting Indiegala more with their great cheap Greenlight Bundles, Friday bundles and Every Monday Bundles. These are great gaming value though I have to say the last few main Indiegala bundles have seemed to have more junk in them than some of their slightly older bundles.

Just my 2 cents of course!

Idling for Steam cards requires listing those cards too, and then you have the choice of listing them for dirt cheap to sell them for sure, or listing them at a normal price and then waiting, having the cards sit there for weeks not selling, then you have to delist them and repeat the process, and as prices go up and down, sometimes you'll list cards for the cheapest prices and even those won't sell for weeks and will require relisting and repricing. This has happened to me multiple times recently. Not to mention it JUST recently became a quicker, easier process since Steam tells you the lowest price currently on the market when you go to sell the card now. Before you had to search the cards, filter through foils and other cards that would come up for slightly matching your search terms (try searching The Path cards and have fun with that), etc.

Idling/listing Steam cards and selling games on CAG are hardly that different as far as how much time they both take. To be honest I'm fairly certain I spend less time on selling bundle games than I do selling Steam cards.

Human interaction is easy. "Send $x.xx via PayPal to: [email protected]", go on with your day, see the payment come through, copy and paste the key, leave feedback. The entire process takes like 2 minutes. Same goes for selling Groupees bundles. Errors? I don't know, I've sold a bunch in the past and never had a single issue, but okay. Gala? I wasn't even talking about Gala, so I have no clue what you're going on about there.

Anyways, I never said they were the same thing. Read my posts better, as I clearly said "the result is pretty much the same". They're obviously different things, but seeing how much time you spend finding little deals, saving pennies, picking up dirt cheap games for cheap or free, that's identical to what you're saving if you buy early. If it's a bundle that people want, people ARE going to buy dollar bundles from you, and after 10-15 minutes of PMs and gifting, you're going to be getting your bundle for free, or actually profiting off your bundle.

But eh, this is pointless. You're just wrong and this is the internet so it's my job to tell you so.

 
I'm a Bundlestars fan the most, then IG, then Groupees. 

Bundlestars has the most bundles that make me say "I REALLY WANT THOSE GAMES" but I tend to have a distinct taste in games.  IG is just so cheap it's hard to say no.  Groupees went through a real slump lately.  They were my favorite for a while and this one is definitely a step in the right direction, but like Blink, they tend to put 2-3 games I really want for $5 and try to justify the price with a whole bunch of junk I really would never play.

Dude, get a job and stop arguing about stupid shit on the internet.

 
CAG Quiz:

What takes longer?

A.  Idiot selling Steam keys and Groupees bundles.

B.  Spoder always knowing when the new card games have been updated and idling and selling cards.

C.  This argument between them about which one is more time consuming?

Impressed by this review that contains fancy praise for apparently one of the greatest adventure games of all time? Still to cheap to actually purchase the bundle because you refuse to turn in your TrueCAG card? Well, today is your lucky day cheapass.

First time I've actually been able to get spoder a drop. Thanks a lot!

 
Groupees will be adding direct redeem to Steam at some point soon.

http://blog.groupees.com/whats-coming-this-month/

later this month, we will be adding the option for users to register Steam keys directly into your Steam account from the Groupees profile page.
Click to expand...
I figured they would and I actually prefer this but I am sure some people will get all bent out of shape over it because, the internet.

They also apparently maintain a list of recently added keys. Who knew? Unfortunately it's not sortable, nor can you sort games in your account by date added.

In other news, because it's Groupees and they are stuck in the 90s and love chat rooms they are releasing an app so you can log into their chat room on your mobile device.

Oh and there's also a poll on your opinion of Groupees that contains among other responses "Horrible, on par with proctology". :booty:

i like the direct redeem to steam thing. I dont like adding the long URL to my steam spreadsheet though for doubles. yeah im sure there is away to hide it or whatever but i dont care that much

 
I just put the long ass links in my spreadsheet and deal.

I like the direct redeem because it's really easy to do with any computer or even mobile device and you don't have to have the client installed or fuss with sitting and waiting while it takes a crap. Because unlike Origin or even friggin' Desura Valve can't be bothered to do a web redeem.  :bomb:

y they lie?

They say you can get Battlepaths keys through Desura ... nope.

 
Guys, I was looking BM13 while I noticed they had added an 8th bonus yet to be unlocked. What could it be this new bonus... I'm curious about.

Also I read 3 from the 7 bonuses are games. 

I don't think it can make 15K before timeline runs out, but maybe... unlocking the mystery game would help a lot in my opinion.

I think Bobby was right.. the mystery game is probably Fly'n. While it's a very good game, I'm not sure how much it'd help with sales. I think they're backing themselves into another dollar days situation.

Bobby got a 7th sense, (his 6th is his latin sense).

 
I have a theory about the new Bonus added.

Since we are so close to the 12K goal, which will reveal next bonus they probably put that new game (I hope it's a game) in the third position, so being visible for all in the next unlock, and thus boosting the final hours in order to get the 15K before the timeline ends.

 
It's up!

Ugh, so close to roaches!

Also Tinypic is making me watch KY commercials now in order to upload an image.  :fridge:

Yes yes, I know. Use another site. I seem to have issues when I try to use those other sites. That or I'm a masochist for inappropriate commercials.
