Just picked up Civ 5

I do not own them, but I've been told the civ packs are definitely worth it.
I'm just going to buy everything since, hey grand total of 12 bucks for everything, fuck it. It would've been $30 for the civ packs alone.

Apparently GotY lacks Korea and that one map. And bought it for a buck and some cents.
I heard CivIII is bad, is it true? Then again is there a point for it when I have IV and V?

If you are buying all the DLC, there are 3 bundles available that will save you even more than buying individual packs.
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/6820/
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/7913/
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/11092/
Then you add the Polynesia, Spain/Inca and Nebuchadnezzar DLC and it comes out to $10.55 instead of $12.26. I know it's not much but... *shrug*
If you buy Civ 5 GOTY, you only need http://store.steampowered.com/sub/11092/ to have everything.
Civ 3 is fine, but you can skip it unless, like me, you have a friend who hasn't upgraded his computer in 10 years and wants to play multiplayer.

Weird. Indigo Prophecy isn't on Steam anymore? How long has that been a thing?
Someone on the Steam forums made a thread about it......about a year ago.

I already somehow had the asia map pack
I ended up buying it all individually for 11 and change, so no biggie really.
Good gravy, I ordered that Sword of the Stars 2 from GG last night at midnight and the thing is still processing at 6pm. Ridiculous.
Edit: Oh wait I just noticed there was a grey button at the bottom that said complete payment and when I went through paypal again it completed it. So apparently they had my order and did not receive the information for payment the first time I went through paypal and then never indicated that they were still awaiting payment. It just said pending.

Go to your order history or account settings ... somewhere in there it says pending. Use a different browser than the one you ordered with and click complete.
Heard a little bit about it, it's been in a couple of indie bundles already, hasn't it? Either way, looks interesting, and I've heard some good buzz. But my backlog is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge, and I really wanna finish off Dark Messiah or start up some Alice: MR. So...Yay or Nay?
It's been in a bundle before, correct. I tried the demo before, been on my list for a long time.
If your backlog is huge, I think it's safe to say that you can skip pretty much any indie game, because they will be cheaper next time. In most cases. Yay if really into it, nay if you're feeling you can wait. But do pick it up sooner or later!

I'm glad to hear that. The graphics looked good, and the game looked like something I'd want to support.
I'm nearly finished Stacking myself, and while the game is fairly short and has a really slow start, it comes together in an amazing way that's well worth $10. I haven't played the side Hobo King yet either. Shame this game got overlooked last year. Much better than the overrated Bastion.I'm glad to hear that.

Why don't you just make the minimal effort needed to keep track of them instead of wishing there was less of a good thing?
The Humble Bundle, IndieGala, & IndieRoyale all have the ability to e-mail you every time there's a new bundle. I don't see what the big deal is. I like getting cheap indie games.

Does anyone knows if Rayman 3 (Amazon deal) runs well on Windows 7?
For some reason the Humble Android Bundle was the 5th one

A bundle entry with no games listed? Looks like Steam is getting wise to putting spoilers in the registry. Clever girl.

Korea and Wonders of the Ancient World. Just buy this package to save 80 cents:

Once a year?? uhh, no... If you have a hard time, try allowing official email updates of the latest bundle release date info.

HIB and Indieroyale are both pretty slow on actually sending out those emails, if I didn't keep an eye on Gaf I wouldn't be getting in 'on the ground floor' as often.
In some cases I've purchased a bundle before receiving the heads-up e-mail. For example, from my inbox:
Receipt for Your Payment to Humble Bundle, Inc.: 2:06 AM
Introducing Humble Indie Bundle 4: 3:54 AM

I think that's 1 of the 7 signs you've been assimilated by the internet.
Personally I think they are all worth the money. Although if you are looking for something to sink more time into the Scenario packs add a lot to the game.

Which single scenario pack would you recommend?
I spent a happy few hours on the Double Civilization and Scenario Pack: Spain and Inca yesterday. http://store.steampowered.com/app/16867/

Thanks for your substantive post, I used the DLC info to my advantage. Now I am flush with $1.71!
For some reason, "Wonders of the Ancient World Scenario Pack" is still listed as NOT having been bought when I look at it in-store, despite my having purchased it in the "Civilization V: Korea and Wonders of the Ancient World - Combo Pack". It seems to be showing up as "Scenario Pack - Ancient Wonders" when I specifically look for it in my game DLC section. I assume that it is just a temporary glitch.
So playing Mass Effect 3 non stop since last tuesday really makes me want to go through the first one again. Looking at things right now, looks like it's still on steam but I have two problems with that:
1-The DLC is only available on Origin. I could get the DLC on origin and it would work on the steam version of the main game but I don't want to have stuff in the two clients...it's messy lol. I'll probably end up getting it on Origin instead because of that.
2-It's still 20$!? WTF. Anybody heard anything about some kind of promotion or somewhere cheaper?
Also, any good mods to suggest? I imagine that there's at least a HD Texture Pack somewhere but is there also mods that fix some of the problems in the game design?
Thanks for the help guys.

The DLC is super horrible so just avoid it completely instead.
