Oh, nice, I missed this during the Winter Sale. Bought.
I'm not payed well enough for my bank to give an International card. It would be nice if they started supporting Hiper like Blizzard does or simply BoaCompra like Steam does, don't even need to convert to R$ lol

I see that Interstallar Marines is an early access game. Is this the first time that an EA game is featured in a bundle?
Sang-Froid! I'll buy this as soon as I get home

After so many AC games and the chase sequence is still annoying, the optional objectives become increasingly stupid, good job Ubi.

Is this worth it for Interstellar Marines and Beast Boxing Turbo? Beast Boxing Turbo looks fun and a lot like Punch-Out for the Wii. Interstellar Marines is something, frankly, I'd only be interested in if it has a decent single-player mode.
Spares:
The Interstellar Marines key I'm offering is for the standard edition.

That chase sequence with Charles Lee in AC3 is really bullshit.

The Indie Gala sale is now "Under System Maintenance." Took my payment but I never got my keys in either my account or mail.
Edit: All good now!

I noticed that lately their site has problems, for couple of weeks or so. Dunno what changed but something isn't quite right. Keep in mind though, that their customer support is super nice, they sold my problem with bundle not appearing in my account in seconds from sending e-mail, literally!

listen to the mad man
The original IGBW wiki:
http://indiegamebundle.wikia.com/
Has been abandoned by most of the editors who were working on it on account of generally poor performance on Wikia. This happened around Christmas.
They exported all of their past content and started:

The second is the one you want to link people to.
It's both endless and has an ending. You beat a level after staying alive for 60 seconds, but can keep playing until you lose.
It took me a little over 12 hours on PC, plus a bunch more here and there on my phone. I only managed to beat Hyper Hexagonest once, a feat I wasn't able to repeat yet.
Oh no, I can't be more serious. I always suck at any game, but here I could feel myself getting better at it. I noticed how I could negotiate hard patterns simply by muscle memory, the fact that I knew how much to move and in which directions
-2 right, 3 left in one of Hyper Hexagonest's patterns for example-
I'm being serious when I say I have only played two games in my whole life where I saw how much I had improved with time and was impressed by that: Super Hexagon and some of the Bit.Trip games (well, that's a bit more than two, but you get the idea
). This game requires persistence and patience, but it's so rewarding that it's well worth it.Ravensmash

Now I'm not the biggest fan of rogue-like games as they usually infuriate me, but Rogue Legacy has really hooked me.
Got to the point now where I'm about ready to go and fight the first boss (and I've probably spent around 2-3 hours on this save). It's really fun to see the very subtle progression of your 'character', and there's enough variation in the actual mechanics and skills to prevent it feeling too repetitive.
I was focusing more on Barbarian characters because of the huge health pool, but their attack is so muted compared to other classes at the moment that I'm probably going to stick with a Shinobi or just a plain old Paladin for now - haven't really touched the mage side of things.
I am right in thinking that when you kill a main boss, that state is saved in the game world regardless of death?

Me and my friends from Uni loved Super Hexagon to death and tried to seriously compete which each other for quite some time. Most of us (me included) did beat Hyper Hexagonest at least once. It's truly a satisfying experience
Probably one of my favorite PC games of all time, seriously. And it was hilarious to enter the Computer Lab and see 5~8 computers playing Super Hexagon.
I'd forgotten that the Spearhead Edition comes with a gift copy of the standard edition:
This means you essentially get three copies of the game with the bundle.
No worries.
Ah, I do recall seeing a message on the Wikia site at one point, but when I checked again later it wasn't present, plus the articles were still being updated to some degree so I just assumed I'd imagined it, haha. Thanks for the heads-up/reminder.

Yep the icon on the main door lights up to indicate you killed that boss and you can move onto the other 3 regardless of how many times you die in the meantime. Once all four are lit up it's time to take on the big boss.
I used barbarians and paladins to farm for gold to level up but I usually beat the bosses with an Archmage and flame barrier.
EDIT: Post more people so I can put my Interstellar Marine/Rush Bros. giveaway not in the last couple of posts of the old page 50pp/100pp.

Two copies of Interstellar Marines standard edition, one from the $1 tier and the second from the free gift for having the spearhead edition. One is a code and the other a steam gift, which one will you choose! I assume they will both work, oh and Rush Bros. I'm sure someone probably doesn't have it! It's like the 2nd or 3rd extra from bundles.

So the snow has me working from the house today. And by "working," I think that's going to mean either starting Crusader Kings 2 or Europa Universalis 4 for the very first time. Is there a general sense of which one might be better to try first, to ease into the deep deep waters of Paradox?

Thanks for the heads up! I feel like a noob for not challenging my skills to get past 25 seconds now. Better man up and do it.
Thanks for interstellar marines. I seem to have gotten the steam gift.

SteamGAF, what version of Civ 4 should I install? BTS, Warlords, Colonization, or can I just install the vanilla Civ 4?
Thanks, have been wanting to try this out.
It just complicates my gaming life a bit too much, not only I have BNW hanging there, waiting to consume my soul, I yet have get to freedom in 10,000,000, and have no doubt that game is trolling me! I hardly need another challenger to my sanity!
I'll leave it for later, but will get back to it, it's hard not to

Thanks!
Enslaved, think I'm about half way through
I think the game design so far feel lazy, the auto platforming, simplistic combat, turret section and a mix of some running away sequences were all kind of predictable, those elements aren't exactly deep or well designed, but aren't exactly shit.
So far it's just kind of meh, with nothing great to talk about. The mindless platforming and combat is ok though and I'm interested to see more of the story, the visuals and environments are really cool though.
There are some glitches here and there like falling through a floor multiple times, it seems like they didn't do a good job walling off every platform

I tried out the Steam in home streaming beta the other day. Very cool. I'm more excited about it then steam machines or steamos. I can only imagine how better bandwidth and computers in a few years will just make things amazing.
