I can't find mention of it elsewhere on this thread: Humongous Entertainment's stuff's now on Steam.
http://humongous.com/2014/04/humongous-entertainment-gets-the-steam-treatment/
I thought these were rather good kid-friendly adventures back in the day (Putt Putt, Freddi Fish, Pyjama Sam, Spy Fox, Fatty Bear), and while I doubt they'll interest adults all that much outside nostalgia, parents might be interested.
Looks like Night Dive are behind this (Indeed, I mentioned it a day or two ago in the GoG thread on the expectation that the games would appear there - a wrong call on my part)

Yeah it was, makes me think it might be a pricing mistake, because the sale for it ended yesterday and earlier today it was back up to $50.

I would still see it more as a buying mistake.
I hope there'll be a bundle with all the games included.

Kinda annoyed. I bought Thief when it was 50% off. Ugh
Gearbox in general is just a big fuck you to the whole world.

That doesn't make any sense
Well, they're staggering the releases. My gut says that it's more likely that we'll see bundles for each individual range, if anything.
Perhaps not immediately but it'd be a good idea for the Summer Sale. I think the staggered releases may be a Valve policy -- you see KISS, 1C and Strategy First release a few games each week instead of all at once.

Eh it could be a lot worse....like higurashi.
Still can't get over them not wanting to update it.

Grabbed it. 13.60 is fine by me. Won't go cheaper than 12.50 during the Steam Summer sale. 14 and lower is always my cave price for "AAA" games.
Just finished EvilQuest. It's funny how they've likely attempted to make a high-quality ARPG, but ended up making something that's more reminiscent of mid-to-low tier SNES ARPGs like something like Lagoon but with the fairly low graphical quality of something like FFIV. That probably earned it a few bonus points for me, weird as it is. Also bonus points for being short and small, since the mediocrity probably wouldn't have felt as fun if it was 20 hours.
Always disappointing when a game has absurd achievements, though. I liked this well enough to want to complete it but the "hit 35 in all stats" acheivements are just dumb. (35 is a lot in this game. In a complete run, I only hit 35 in one stat while exploring everything and killing every enemy in my way, and there's four stats to max out. Two of my other stats aren't even halfway! Fuck that.)

Yeah, but no one has green. Get that ridiculous brunette out of there.

Went ahead and picked up Thief: MTE, got it for free with some Playfire credit, it will give me something to play until Dark Souls 2.

That's not a physical deformity, it is just the artistic decision of the producer. Respect the art!
P.S.: As you may have guessed I didn't see the image but that didn't stop me. Maybe I should apply as a twitter poster for some game studio. That way I could belittle gamers, make fun of their choices and keep my job / not get banned.
Tropico 5's pre-purchase period will begin "in a few hours":
If memory serves, this'll be the first game since F1 2013 to have tiered rewards.

Wow, this is amazing to me. Sometime after my life is in order, I need to promote Elroy Goes Bugzerk, Elroy Hits The Pavement, and Iz & Auggie Escape From Dimension Q from Headbone Intereactive. These games are at least as awesome as the first two Spy Fox games from Humongous I played. I need to at least make youtube videos sometime for the Headbone stuff. I don't know the legal situation with this stuff. Also, I think at least one of those titles doesn't run on modern systems.
One can join the 5 and 6 people at

None for Iz & Auggie yet.

Bit off topic here.
But i wish Adult Swim would let us finance this series : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=focG0rWu1lA
Fuck. Adult Swim seems to get better and better. Great Games and great shows ahead.
Edit: And yes. Its Bryan Cranston.
Edit2: Oh and this here is interesting. Retail Goat Simulator : http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00ITMJLVA/

Oooooh nice. Might have to reshuffle my finances.
Speaking of the Special Edition, I should note that there doesn't appear to be any 2/4-packs for it as there are for the standard edition. I hate it when publishers do this -- it's as though you're being punished for having the audacity to desire the more expensive product.

Isn't retail still strong in Germany? Then it makes sense releasing a retail version.

Yeah I'm on track to knock all those rewards in the caboose.
Umm, guys, muve.pl is having a Bethesda promotion. Good prices for loads of games, provided you can get by the Polish IP/no Paypal restrictions.
no way around it? They don't accept paypal if your IP is not polish enough?
Fanto bought stuff from them, so yeah, there are ways around it.

No info it might be a price error though since the game was already at 50% earlier this week.
I'm tempted to get Fallout 3, actually. The price seems to be less than 3€ for the GOTY Version but I need to search for more info.
Hmm, guess I'll hold (just check my Backlog, lol). Also Dark Souls II is coming and I might get Child of Light but not on Steam, probably.
These deals aren't as good for me as the capcom ones, doesn't hurt as much this time!
may be we can talk you into buying us some stuff? games aren't region locked are they? and we don't have to play them in polish? I wouldn't mind, but prefer english somewhat.
... wait what Capcpom deals... if there was a good deal on Naruto and RE4, don't tell me, I'll be upset.
Just divide prices by 3 to get dollars.
Yeah, they had a massive Capcom sale last week, got Resi4/6/Rev and Naruto for ~$6,5 each.
Can't help with purchases, sorry, I'm at work ATM with no access to my bank account. Games can be region locked (similarly to Inversion from Amazon), not sure if using VPN to register codes would help - check SteamDB for EE specific subs.
Art is terrible, I guess.
erhmmm.... who is the redhead?

From what i see, retail isnt that strong here in germany. Console games are very strong compared to pc (Because nobody wants it digital console games). But you have some great deals here (Far Cry 3 was 15€ after 3 months here).
But i dont know how good retail indies and retail simulations are.
If region locking is likely, then not even gonna try.
Capcom sale would made much harder to resist, though
I'm pretty sure every game except RE4 was region locked during the capcom sale, at least for activation.

Eheh, didn't really consider the prices a 'good deal'. GMG/Steam/Gamersgate will have the games at these prices later this year.
Now, if they were sold for $3 or less... Yeah, wouldn't post as that would surely piss Arthea off.
Devs said it'll have a 25% discount at launch. Been waiting for this one for awhile. Glad to see it finally releasing!
No steam keys for Call of Chtulhu makes me sad
Thanks for reminding me that I have a Wasted Land key sitting in my inbox. I forgot to activate it this morning.
Which reminds me that I have to go through my Indiegala emails and see the bundle where I got the android version, so I can request key from the devs.
