Thanks Rhaknar for Avernum!

I played It when it came out.
Its not really that scary. At least, not for that long. The game relies too heavily on the same jump scare tactics for too much of the game.
Its a entertaining time, but it can get rather repetitive later on. The first hour or so is the best part.
If you can get a good ideal on it, I would recommend it though.

I would imagine if fun is your criteria Guacamelee would be superior. Papers, Please seems really interesting, but I can't say it seems terribly fun to play.
Also, want to thank Rhaknar for SPAZ. I somehow have managed to miss that one in various bundles, so I grabbed it because I could go for a good space shooter.
Ok here we go, hopefully I did this all correctly, I was getting seriously crosseyed halfway through >_<
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, whichever... enjoy guys, hopefully this makes your day a little brighter. Thanks for having me
Thanks for Revenge of the Titans. Such a great giveaway.
Hello
Let's not forget that B&W wasn't particularly good either, not bad though.
Still no DK or Populous.

Have a friend in UK places, they can hook you up
Metro for Steam skin, the best one I've used so far. Though I do miss a few of the things AIR did, Metro doesn't cut features to keep its minimalism theme true.

Thank you! Grabbed Sol Survivor, I love TD genre and I remember considering this game quite a few times
I'll wait for it to show up for the same price on Steam (which seems inevitable w/ its current Humble Store sale) and use Steam wallet funds.
That said, what's the likelihood of a new "mainline" Humble Bundle coming out? I seem to recall there was one around Christmastime last year.

Bleh, the mobile app is flaking out. Is good by an hour after the update, it'd be smooth again.

does anyone want to do a trade portal for guacamelee or papers please?
(I have portal)

Thanks Alo81 for the heads up about the Humble sale, Guacamelee was on the top of my list. (edit: they sent me an "Amazon Payments delay notification". I picket amazon payments, and Amazon wants to take 24 hours for "manual investigation" of the transaction
I've asked if Humble could cancel the order, so I can choose a different payment method.)
Thank you Rhaknar for Legend of Fae, and for the awesome giveaway. You gave away so much that Modbot 3 had to spring into action in order to get the code to me.
And once more thanks to drgambit for Gish and to mmitt for RUSH (and sorry for spending more time whining about not buying the bundle instead of the full game in the PM, than thanking you )
Since I have received so much generosity, I thought I'd give away one of my favorite games of this year (that just so happens to be very cheap at the moment).

The sale discount override the discount for the owners of the game and the DLC. Wait until the sale ends and it'll be back to the previous price.
Fixed.

Not sold on Guacamelee?
Do you not like games?
Or do you just require maximum shootbangs for your satisfaction?
The real question is "do you like metroidvania style games such as Symphony of the Night?"
If you remotely like that style of game, FUCKING BUY IT and thank us later.
The game has some ridiculously deep combat options for being a 2D brawler, it has some of the most challenging and satisifying platforming, and the charm and humour are top notch.
At first I thought this said "kind of." And I almost took offense.
But then I re-read it to be sure and you're absolutely right. Offering this game for that price is downright ridiculous.
It should be illegal not to support Drinkbox at amazeballs prices like this.
Thanks for all the opinions.
I'll give the Papers Please demo another try (tried it ages ago) and I'll check out some more Guacamelee videos. They both sound solid though,

Personally I prefer Savvy UI. The downloads menu is broken but it's very easily fixed.
I'll trade you Rogue Legacy for Rage.
Someone has to gift me Rogue Legacy first.

It also handled save games really badly--about halfway through the second area, it would take forever to save your game. I never made it past that point in the game despite trying twice. Don't know if they ever managed to fix that issue.

You aren't the only one disgruntled about this nonsense.
Shooters are my least favorite genre. I am off put by all the meme bullshit.Not sold on Guacamelee?

provided you play the game in exactly the way you need to in order to be scared, you'll be scared. the problem is that there is zero incentive to do this and you can very easily break just about every encounter in Outlast by simply ignoring the rules and playing by chaotic trial and error. eventually it becomes an exercise in figuring out a series of very specific button presses while deranged men yell at you. there is zero room for improvisation or accounting for any real sense of player agency. it's a carnival horror ride.
Anyone wondering about Papers Please can try the beta for free on the dev's site.

Sounds like dinner with my family.
Batman: AO will be $20 later on Amazon.
It can also be had for $20 now, on GMG. Use code: GMG20-ZB5D1-93X49
GMG will provide a steam key - I bought and activated yesterday, no problems.
Season pass also on sale for $8
Extra code from SE surprise present, maybe someone doesn't have this yet.

Dear Esther should be called Walking: The game. Its a nice looking tech demo instead of a full featured game. The story isn't even that memorable, the only thing that people talk about is the stalagmites and stalactites.
still better than Gone Home.
Gone home you are atleast trying to solve a mystery.

Memes? Like references to some of the old school classic games?
If that's the case, this isn't Retro City Rampage where it just throws them at you left and right to try to be entertaining -- there's some classic 8-bit references in the story and a few clever spoofs on billboards and stuff, but again, most of it is not in your face.
The notable big ones that I can think of offhand, from the 4 hours I put into it for my 5th or so playthrough the other day:
Story:
Ability statues reference chozo statues from Metroid series.
Killing the first boss is done via a chase with ends with a Super Mario Bros. Bowser reference. (Including some dialogue about Princess is in another castle...)
Side quest where the brother that has to be found looks like the guy from Zelda II that says "I AM ERROR".
Other:
Billboard poster for Mexican Super Mario Bros. wrestling duo.
Billboard for something based of Link/Zelda.

There may be more, but
Wow. So I got it for $0.04 less than that last night then! HAHAHA. Works for me.
Still amazing. People should vote for it and buy it immediately when it goes live!
That's kind of disgusting. Not sure if I want to buy it now.
