Crossposted from the GOG thread:
The current IndieGameStand Pay What You Want deal is for Unmechanical. It has activation codes for both GOG and Steam, and the deal ends in about 4 days. You need to pay at least $1 to get the GOG and Steam keys. If you pay more than $1.29 for the bundle, you unlock the bonus material which includes two Prototype builds of Unmechanical and the Unmechanical soundtrack in FLAC/mp3/OGG. I would pick this up, it is a good deal!

Got two Steam Card invites.
I'll give them to the first two that answer these two questions:
1) What is the guy's name in the Mario series?
2) Who is your favorite Bluth?

Disclaimer: I already have Steam Card and I just wanted to play. I'll take one for my cousin if it comes to that though. No problem if you want to give to anybody else. I don't even know if my answers are correct.

As a general reminder (not to you), BTTF is on GOG. It's far-fetched to expect the rest of these games to appear there as well, but one can hope.
Hmm. Are W&G and L&O any good?
You mean this guy?
Edit:
What he said.

The only Telltale game I've played is Jurassic Park, which I loathed. I did try to play Sam & Max one afternoon, but it had no sound and Google got me nowhere. I ought to give the game another shot as I've since upgraded my PC.
Also, I got bored, so have some fun data:

Jurassic Park his hands down Telltale's worst game. Sam & Max is pretty good, although it doesn't really get into gear until the 4th episode of the first season.

I was saving money for The Last of Us and then the Sonic deal had to happen. $10 off now. Better hurry up with the rest of the money I need by June 14th lol.
Too bad ClovingWestbrook got permabanned.
RIP!@#
Furreals?? What happened?
Truth be told I was only playing it to earn the Winter Sale achievement, but god, what a chore. Nice to hear that Sam & Max received better treatment, even if it's something of a slow burner.

Daaaamn. Dude took it too far.
Yeah, I heard JP stinks on ice. You should really give S&M another try. I think it's the best thing Telltale ever made. With the caveat that I've only played BttF and TWD.

Honestly, Jurassic Park is the only game of theirs I'd call outright bad, everything else is at worst mediocre.

I'm a little... perturbed... that half of a deck is only unlockable through buying DLC (store items, if you still want to play the Valve Is God card).
"Hey, guys, uh, you wanna fix Greenlight?"
"No, no, let's make a gamification of the Steam overlay that only works if you buy our shit."
I'm not against hats or whatnot, but this is really weird.

To be quite honest though, the clear context of that "Phillip the Hyper-Hypo" SNL character is hyperactivity, not mental retardation.
Though that doesn't seem to be what he was implying.

I'm playing Sanctum in an effort to kill my feels of wanting Sanctum 2 and Don't Starve but knowing they will be on sale in a month probably.
Make sure to get the "Over 9000" achievement. I only barely pushed it off my showcase and don't want it coming back if they fix the SR3 cheevos.

Yup. Confirmed by Kabouter and by Cloving himself on steam
The Achievement Showcase currently lists your top six achievements, ranked by what percentage of players have earned them (least to greatest). There are 4 Saints Row achievements that are bugged and say 0.00% of players earned them, so those are my top 4, but "Over 9000" for Sanctum was only earned by, like 0.6% of everyone who has Sanctum. So, if you earn it, that percentage will go up and the achievement will drop in rarity.
Ah, no wonder. Fuck, that seems to be the best showcase had it not been for those bugged saints row ones. I already wondered why that happened..
I want it fixed
Edit: so why would you want over 9000 not on your showcase? Its working correctly, isn't it? What did you have to do for the achievement?

Damn @ Cloving.
I really hope UNS3 comes out soon. I traded in my PS3 copy in anticipation of this.

Don't Starve has no achievements?
What trash is this?!

They've stated they didn't want achievements, yeah, so I doubt they'll be coming.
Fuck you, I don't need more games.
Which means I'll be buying this tonight
Unmechanical is a pretty good game but its only about 2 hours long; so shouldn't increase your backlog too much

I challenge them to a duel.
But that article pretty much pushed me over the line to "Buy" tonight.

I got to S1E6 on the Wii version of Sam & Max and it was a great game, which sadly ran like shit on the console. It's not too hard, though I had to use a guide once in Ep. 5, and got stuck in Ep. 6 and stopped playing.
I love its humor, but since I never played the original nor read the comics I don't know how much credit to give TTG.
NooooooToo bad ClovingWestbrook got permabanned.
RIP!@#
We shall all mourn our fellow SteamGAF bro by buying a game in his honor. You'll be missed Clov.
It's not about the backlog anymore, it's about knowing I won't ever touch the stuff I'm buying. How did I get to this point?Unmechanical is a pretty good game but its only about 2 hours long; so shouldn't increase your backlog too much
