Hey guys,

before I scrounge another key from a giveaway. Are their any unwritten rules? Like limit yourself to 1 a day or something?

 

[Nabs]

Hmm, didn't Chrome use to throw a fit with some gifs?
Personally, as you can't use page up/down in the bookmark bar, well that makes us mortal enemies.

That was a really long time ago. Chrome handles gifs like a champ now.

Humble on Twitter - "Bundle Encore Weekend in the Humble Store! A second chance at September's best bundles"



Same...I got my 25% off voucher this morning

did September even have a 'best' bundle?

 

[Turfster]

Gamestop has 75% off Europa Universalis IV (US only)

 

[KingKong]

awesome, old Sid Meyer games. They probably shouldnt cost 7 bucks though

 

[jshackles]

Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator -- MB-EAB7626DE1B1DB56 - Taken by jshackles

Time to go live out my dream of being a starship captain.

 

[madjoki]

You should read it as "We still have ton of keys for these that we are allowed to get rid off"

awesome, old Sid Meyer games. They probably shouldnt cost 7 bucks though

Published by Nigthdive = in bundle soon

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Some old Sid Meier's games got released on Steam and even those are region locked. This pretty much confirms that it's default now

Colonization and Pirates! Classic are on Steam now? Fucking awesome.

Not so much the region locking thing though :/

oh cool, my categories were in my butt

thank you based butt

first person to guess the first game im downloading gets... nothing because its too obvious

...Well, I can't not quote it

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Ah good, preload going up sometime today means I'll finally buy it.

 

[MRORANGE]

Holy shit, biscuit butter is amazing, it's even better than mixing nutella and peanut butter together.

 

[tmarg]

HB12 was great.

 

[Monooboe]

It's so weird, I loved Shadow of Mordor and Alien: Isolation... but I haven't really been in the mood to play them for days. I think I might need a deep RPG, the new Dragon Age would do nicely.

 

[Rhaknar]

I cant remember half the sites I had bookmarked >_>

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Wait, why is the early access version of Spacebase DF9 listed at the very top of popular new releases?

 

[Robert J. Sullivan]

anyone here nows if amazon uk is going to send the evil within keys early ?

The pricing mistake?

 

[derExperte]

That's why you export and then import them. Or use cloud sync.

 

[FiveElementNinja]

Time to go live out my dream of being a starship captain.

Make it so.

Damn, that's what I do on an almost daily basis. Time to track down some of this biscuit butter.

Beta to released product.

 

[Skyzard]

GMG TEW keys out

Season pass nice and securely attached to my library. All good to go.

 

[Mengy]

Time to go live out my dream of being a starship captain.

I've always found that game intriguing. It's so focused in it's design and direction, I don't even know if you CAN play it in some form of single player mode or not. I know the last time I looked into it you really couldn't.

 

[MMBosstones86]

It's so weird, I loved Shadow of Mordor and Alien: Isolation... but I haven't really been in the mood to play them for days. I think I might need a deep RPG, the new Dragon Age would do nicely.

Gives me an excuse to post the recently released PC Specs

Spoiler

that don't mean a damn thing

That's why you export and the import them. Or use cloud sync.

or use Chrome

 

[fantomena]

Im crossing my fingers that TEW on PC is good. My stomach feeling says otherwise, so I woant to punch my stomach.

 

[Nyteshade517]

Went ahead and got The Evil Within + Season Pass bundle at GMG for $49.49...thank you 25% off voucher

Got the keys once the order was completed (Game, Fighting Chance pack, and Season Pass)

Crash Time 2 -- MB-477C2C5814722A7E - Taken by adriano999

 

[Rhaknar]

good lord at these game sizes, Alien is 24gb, FF13 is of course 60, whats Mordor? like 40?

 

[derExperte]

or use Chrome

As I said, cloud sync. FF and Opera offer that too, not sure about IE.

 

[FloatOn]

can we talk about alienware alpha for a moment?

how shitty exactly is the $550 model? I'm not hungry for top of the line exactly but I'm thinking a no-fuss pre-built might be perfect for me.

These things are coming out in november I think. And the hype is strong with me for some of these newer games (alien, mordor, evil within etc)

I'm fully aware of the somewhat crappy reputuation this company has. but I just want a capable gaming pc to sit under my tv on the cheap.

 

[MUnited83]

[Boss Doggie]

Space Engineers is really weird

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

So, Wolf TNO going for around $10 before the year is over...wonder if it's possible? It dropped to $30 during the summer sale, but they still haven't lowered the damned base price from $60 grumble grumble.

 

[derExperte]

Why when someone does a giveaway for a free game, like Crash Time 2, the giveaway hoster is anonymous?
I mean, I also hosted a giveaway for this, but why this is anonymous?

Maybe the giver wants to hide that he only gives away free stuff while trying to reach Megagiver- or Pay-it-forward-status. Which barely anyone uses right now and nobody cares anyway. So who knows.

I'd say $20 most likely.

To avoid people judging said person for giving away a free game through modbot to bump their stats.

Or something like that.

 

[Tizoc]

Mordor is 40-50 GB without the Ultra textures pack.

 

[didamangi]

The hands in FF13... why?

So, Wolf TNOgoing for around $10 before the year is over...wonder if it's possible? It dropped to $30 during the summer sale, but they still haven't lowered the damned base price from $60 grumble grumble.

I'll go with $15 probably.

How capable are you of building your own PC, and how much does "size of completed product" factor into your decision to buy?

 

[Miguel81]

We're finally getting good-quality audio to go with the image.

 

[Ruruja]

The hands in FF13... why?

They assumed nobody would look at the hands when there are other, more-detailed things to look at. I feel like Milamber right now.

 

[Parsnip]

Play Styx.
Srsly.
It's almost the game we hoped Asscrud was.
(It's a bit jankier, but then it doesn't have the population of a small country working on it, or the GNP of one as budget)

But does it have cities? We all know that AC isn't a stealth game, it's a parkour game, and evidently European cities are best for parkour.

The reality is Alienware is rarely a good option, if ever.

If you're willing to build it yourself it'll be better than buying an alienware. It can be daunting at first but building a PC is pretty much easy these days with video tutorials and the wealth of information on the Internet.

Take a look at this thread on NeoGAF if you're interested. They have a mini-ITX/Small Form Factor) build guide in there as well.

 

[FloatOn]

How capable are you of building your own PC, and how much does "size of completed product" factor into your decision to buy?

I had a friend help me with the pc I built 3 years ago. This was my first experience putting one together. I'm sure it's not rocket science though.

I just want to avoid any headaches as I don't have as much time as I used to. As underpowered as the thing probably is, it already has an OS and a controller comes with it (which isn't a big deal but kind of a nice bonus). The form factor is also attractive to me and I would imagine it gets less loud than what my pc is now.

If the alpha is as good or potentially a little better than the current consoles and goes for $550 this means that I could potentially grab a secondary console later on and still be under a grand for my gaming hobby. Anything more than that on gaming hardware I would feel a bit excessive. It's a self imposed rule.

The pc I built 3 years ago ended up costing me like $800 or so.

 

[jshackles]

The reality is Alienware is rarely a good option, if ever.

That's usually true, which is why I asked how much the form factor of the machine played into the decision.

For the record, the $550 model is barely scraping by at meeting the system requirements for newer games like Alien. It doesn't meet the minimum CPU requirements for Mordor or The Evil Within.

I think I'd be disappointed in dropping that much cash on the Alpha, when you could buy a PS4 + all three of those games for less.

Anything more than that on gaming hardware I would feel a bit excessive. It's a self imposed rule.

While technically "better than the current consoles" (on paper) I think you'd have a better experience with the three games you mentioned on a PS4 or Xbox One than this thing.
