Again the game Tetrobot that most CAG voted lost again.

I rather they have World of Zoo as the choice than World of Goo which has been in a few bundles.

 

[hal]

If universe sandbox goes on sale is it worth $2?

Ever been bundled and how casual is it? Will it take a decade to understand how to play?

So I've figured out the secret to making Super Hexagon a LOT easier.. turn V-Sync off. I have no idea why it's enabled by default. V-Sync increases the input lag a lot for this game.

Saving tip until 2016 for when I get around to playing Super Hexagon.

Edit: just watched the video and I can't believe I bought that! Does it really move that fast? It almost makes me nauseated.

Yes. That's half the fun

I randomly bought super hexagon and its super addictive to try and beat your score........BEGIN....GAME OvER! BEGIN! GAME OVER!

What are the odds that Valve does us a solid and just makes Tetrobot and Co part of the next batch of flash sales? It's not like Notch or Alexey need our money these days.

Given the way the sale sucking post-xmas...

 

[djbooba]

I also feel like I'm being punished for not actually owning World of Goo already.

Sors immanis

Edit: I'm surprised* that Tetrobot lost to Universe Sandbox (which had a daily?)

*I know, I know, I shouldn't be.

Poor Tetrobot... it should have been you.

He DOES NOT have any deals inside the van. :^o

 

[deckmeup]

Freaking rigged... I lost track of the number of bundles I got with it already..

 

[hal]

y hello thar Magicka

/sale over

 

[dudebro]

Giana SIsters is 1.79. me thinks its glitched ^_^

nvmd: its not glitched

 

[djbooba]

Giana SIsters is 1.79. me thinks its glitched ^_^

And bought a copy in case someone needs it

 

[Mooby]

Giana Sisters price bugged at $1.80?  Not that I want it.

Edit: Beaten and why do I only get poopy glitches!

 

[hal]

Giana SIsters is 1.79. me thinks its glitched ^_^

Could possibly be as the bundle doesn't work out correctly.

 

[Bizzquik]

Bought Giana Sisters at $1.79.

'cuz....why not...?

 

[spoderman]

I think it's more likely that it's not a glitch

 

[Motiv]

Wait... the Twisted Bundle just dropped to 85% at $2.69

 

[Detruire]

Voting for Pool Nations. Quite disappointed that it's not 75% off though. (

 

[iSerra]

Finally Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams - Rise of the Owlverlord DLC 80% off, go go go asheskitty!

 

[ninjaculate]

I'm assuming I'm not the only one who is shocked to find he or she does not own World of Goo already?

i'm tempted for the Giana Sisters DLC ...

 

[xanchui]

Got Owlverlord

 

[Timeos]

Is it me or are the Community Choice and Flash getting severely worse?
On a positive! Just beat Hotline Miami! The ending was... good I think? Reminds me of Killer 7.

 

[asheskitty]

Yes, Owlverlord, finally!

 

[MarekZimny]

Is it me or are the Community Choice and Flash getting severely worse?

You are not alone. Hope for Space Engineers today.

 

[FireS]

Tempted by the Giana Sisters but I feel like it'll be in a bundle before I get to it...

 

[Mooby]

Think it already was… maybe not?

 

[DIRASYAJ X]

got that Giana Sisters Bundle world of goo & Magicka

 

[asheskitty]

Honestly, if you're not grabbing Giana at this price, high quality platformers with great soundtracks probably just aren't your thing.

 

[iSerra]

I didn't even know that Magicka has a novel DLC - Magicka: The Ninth Element Novel  

 

[ninjaculate]

Honestly, if you're not grabbing Giana at this price, high quality platformers with great soundtracks probably just aren't your thing.

I'm hoping that I just had an issue with my setup before, because when I gave it a shot on my laptop with an Xbox 360 controller a few months back, I had a considerable amount of input lag. Nothing ruins a platformer more than jumping not jumping when you press jump ... I've always wanted to try it again, so I bought Owlverlord on good faith for the GS name.

 

[asheskitty]

Jeez... what's next.. DLC PDFs for print-at-home Magicka-themed paper airplanes?

 

[djbooba]

I just checked how many games I have with cards and I'm eligible for 175 different boosters. Just over 40% of the games I own have cards. I think I have a problem.

 

[iSerra]

They need Magicka: The Movie DLC to complete the never complete collection or something like this.

Print-Yourself-Controller-Skin

 

[Mooby]

They aren't. I do admit it looks amazing, though.

...but Magicka is painful with a controller... I tried. You can't queue spells fast enough.

 

[MrNinjaSquirrel]

Sorry Adventure Time, for only -33% I will not be exploring the dungeon because I don't know.

I'm holding off for the bundle. Been holding off this long, and I know I won't play it straight away, so I can wait a bit longer.

 

[TheRainCoat]

Salvaged crates can easily sell for up to $70 on the very first day it dropped but chances of getting it is very rare, as for normal crates it can fetch from a few cents to a few dollars depending on how old/valuable the items inside the crates are.

I am a crate collector myself, have been collecting them since the first one that contains strange items.

Good stuff. Thanks for that information man.

 

[N3UROP0D]

Sorry Adventure Time, for only -33% I will not be exploring the dungeon because I don't know.

Same. I love the show but the game is supposed to suck eggs - plus it was overpriced to begin with.

 

[xanchui]

My crate sales:

Salvaged Mann Co. Supply Crate 18.99 USD
Salvaged Mann Co. Supply Crate 19.00 USD
Salvaged Mann Co. Supply Crate 32.17 USD
Salvaged Mann Co. Supply Crate 32.18 USD
Salvaged Mann Co. Supply Crate 37.39 USD
Salvaged Mann Co. Supply Crate 9.96 USD

 

[Detruire]

How do you know whether you have a valuable one?

 

[xanchui]

Salvaged crates are pretty much the only valuable ones, which are series 30, 40, and 50.

 

[Eldredpe]

Tonight I played a few hours of Spelunky and a few hours of Don't Starve.

I liked them both quite a lot.

End of transmission.

Ah, guess that makes all mine worthless. (

I figured after it got savaged in the reviews that they'd do a quick price drop, but I guess they're going to see who they can fleece before doing that. I'm willing to give it a shot purely because I love the license, but it's got to be waaaay cheaper than this for me to bite.

 

[radioactivez0r]

True. I'm not big on multiplayer stuff, but I like A Binomial Nutshot's social challenges/contracts.

I just wanted to quote this so other people could bask in the cleverness of the anagram.

You need Enhanced Steam. See my sig for it and other price tracking tools.

Asheskitty, forever trying to rehabilitate the internet.

Doesn't end there... so I get some random invite from some weirdo with a very odd [customspoiler=profile]

3 ashes, 7 heathers, 8 kelleys, 8 lewis's, and 3 martins...

[/customspoiler]

Hey hey, I only added you because you were talking about Hot Pursu - oh, that's not me. Carry on.

Any1 know if any of the lego games have demos so I can try them? Looked at few but none of them had it

LEGO Marvel had a demo straight off the site before it released - ah, here it is. The rest I don't think do, but you never know.

I don't know anything about the property at all, but everything I have read indicates this 2nd game is just terrible even for fans of the show. Just FYI.

 

[dudebro]

Adventure Time sucks balls, I played it and its not even worth $5

 

[Detruire]

GreenManGaming currently has the Borderlands 2: Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 (UVHUP2) for $1.24 ($1 after coupon, and $0.90 after coupon + the weird $0.10 credit.)

 

[juanjava]

That 88% on Giana screams Humble Bundle (I'm looking at you, NS2)!
