I decided to try it and this was it. If Dongs is okay with it I would be willing to reraffle the key to give everyone a fair shot though.

Leave it untaken. Have ModBot autorepost it every day and use it to lure in posters. Additional games can be added to it every couple of months to keep it fresh.
Like a Free Parking space no one will ever land on.

Crossposting from the Indie thread
Convoy
I bought Convoy because it's marketed on the store page as being inspired by FTL and Mad Max, so the mix of the two brought some curiosity to myself. While it indeed has some similarities with FTL, most of the core mechanics are different, like the combat the way you navigate through the map, etc.
The plot is the following, your ship was damaged and had to land on a desert planet called Omek Prime that is dominated by three factions that fight between themselves and will try kill you whenever is possible. Since your ship was damaged, you need to retrieve four components to fix it and get out of that planet and the main objectives are randomly choose when you start a new game. The map is fixed, so the roads will always be in the same place as well the place where your ship is landed (center of map), the navigation is the first difference form FTL, while on FTL you jumped through beacons on a zone, in Convoy you drive through the map and the terrain influences the amount of fuel you spend, driving on roads makes you go fast and save fuel, driving on elevated parts of the map will make it goes slower and consumes more fuel.
About the combat, you have your MCV that must be protect because if destroyed you get an automatic game over, so you need to protect it using the other vehicles. The take on the battles in interesting, you can't control the MCV, it's always going to move on a straight line during battles, so you need to position the other vehicles because their weapons have a range and to attack an enemy vehicle it need to be inside your range and can't be obstructed by another vehicle. What I found interesting in the battles is the need to pay attention to your environment, because there are debris on the roads and letting your cars hit means it's going to get destroyed.
As you progress on the missions the factions becomes more strong raising their influences over zones and making the random encounter harder, so you need to stop on an outpost to upgrade your vehicles, buy new weapons replenish the fuel too keep going. As FTL you can unlock other starting cars by fulfilling certain criteria.
One point that I really disliked on the game were all the pop culture references it's going to make, the ones I found were blatantly in my face, like being a point on the main quests. I can appreciate references and easter eggs but those felt like trying too hard. Just to give an example on the main quests there were references to:
and it goes for the random encounters, so in the end instead feeling like a homage all those easter-eggs/references felt overdone.
I recommend the game, because the way the combat works is interesting and can get very chaotic.

all this GODUS talk in this thread is getting me hyped
starting to think people deleting games are on to something. Im not deleting them (mostly because I dont care that people see them or whatever reasoning people use to delete games) but my 2016 thing is moving alot of shit to my "done with / finished / hidden away / whatever you want to call it" category.
Some shit I just move there just from looking at it and knowing "I will never play this in a million years", but most im at least downloading and giving it a try, kinda like I was doing a few months ago with trying games for like 10mins, but this time I do that and send them packing never to be heard from again if I dont like it.
Too many games on my (our?) lists, its not like new games dont keep coming out (in fact it seems more than ever do) and im not getting any younger (like, its not funny any more, its just a fact) so I need to stop wasting time with crap.
Like, im looking at my 2000 or so unplayed games on steam (give or take), what am I realistically going to play from that? 200? 300? and thats being very generous

My only issue with zkylon is that his patience for posting is too short.

Undertale really annoyed me early on with that trap floor and only one correct path that you had to find with trial and error. I made it to a little table with some cheese on it and haven't continued in like a week.

That's fine with me. You can even make another trivia giveaway for even more fun times.
pls i'm known for my patience about all things
it's really easy lol
use your head!
it's not trial and error, when you fall you see the pattern you need to follow
it's really easy lol

It's trial, one error, and then doing it right.
That puzzle is super easy. When you fall, the areas that don't have flowers on them show where you can walk.
Put about 30-40 minutes into assaulting an alien base in XCOM and the game crashed. Nice.
I've gotten kind of a new appreciation for TBS playing XCOM and Fire Emblem. Should I buy Disgaea when it comes out? My earlier experiences were with Advance Wars and I really hated the rock-paper-scissors mechanics. These games your stats actually matter and can improve and I like that.

Name of the game, all hail savescumming.
Oddly enough I've been playing on my macbook and haven't had a single crash but decided to Steamplay it on my PC this one time and it crashed. I was lulled into a false sense of security.

Bookmarked! It is very good
Eh. I remember Dongs saying during sale that he'd post the answer for people to enter the raffle, if there wasn't a correct guess. With the new one I read through to see if he did go through with it but couldn't see. Still, cool raffle and have fun messi.
This game looks amazing, why have I not heard of it before. Holy shit, thanks for the heads up lashman!
Sorry, I am not creative enough to create a satisfying Trivia

You'll get Alien Isolation and next month's bundle if you subscribe now.
Still dunno why they don't let you get the current box but at a higher price.
