Hack 'n' Slash is now out of Early Access. That was fast.
It's 33% off for a week. Anyone have updated impressions?
More here.
Almost missed this news with all the bundle hubbub. Looks like a great game; seemed quite promising when Giant Bomb/Double Fine did a Quick Look EX of it a while back.

Its length really the only downside, especially since he added workshop support. I got my money's worth at $10. $1 is a steal. Seriously everyone needs to try Gunpoint

Where's the big fanfare? Where's the OT? Don't let this little game go quietly, I thought the AF prototype had tons of potential.
Freedom = $1.05

Had no idea this existed, looks like it could be an interesting game, worried it might be a bit too easy to "break" so to say, but I'll keep my eye on it none the less.

For the folks playing Gone Home for the first time... go in with an open mind and explore the house properly. It's not immediately obvious but the game actually has four stories being told simultaneously and only one of them is narrated. You get the rest from reading the notes, diaries, letters and through inference and extrapolation. That's why it's important to be patient and read all the notes that you'd usually skip in other games because they will allow you to link up the stories at the end. These other three stories are slice of life vignettes that could prove interesting even if you don't enjoy the highly controversial main story of the game.
Another important aspect of the game is the mid 90s atmosphere that it painstakingly recreates. I've always felt that the game would best be enjoyed by people in their 30s or higher who have lived through that period for the nostalgia it evokes. I'm sure there are quite a few teenagers today who wouldn't know how annoying it used to be when someone returned a VHS cassette without having the decency to rewind it
And don't get stuck in this 'it's not a real game' thing. You might not like it and heck, you might even end up thinking that it was a waste of money, but I doubt any of you fine folks will be of the opinion that it should never have existed in the first place.

It's one of the biggest problems (for developers) of Early Access. Once your game is actually released, it's a complete non-event.
That said, I get the feeling that Hack and Slash is the type of game that is an amazing concept that doesn't translate as well to actually playing it. I still think it's pretty great though.
There is nothing controversial about the main story. Actually scratch that, the only controversy that I saw was from some in the LGBT community decrying it's complete lack of context to the oppressive nature of actually being gay during that time period. That it's too soft on the world. Particularly, that the ending
should not be considered "happy", as two high school age girls with no support systems running out into an oppressive world usually leads to bad things, not "freedom".
Yeah I suppose I'll just get the $10 bundle then, even though I don't support the early access system. Hopefully not all of the games are simulators/sandbox cause I hate that D:

Yeah, absolutely this. I enjoyed the true sense of exploration and discovering a story throughout seeing the whole house.

yup! did my part to keep the BTA at the MAX
Thanks! I've actually won stuff from EVGA before too. I won one of those huge mouse pads from Thermal and a Turtle Beach Headset, I think Z2?
Ohh. Hope it all pulls through for you as well dude! I really want AssCreed Unity too but I may be picking it up on Xbone depending on which of my friends get it. I too must resist the urge for more games. About 400 on Steam and all I play is CS:GO and FF14!

It was an actual game when I picked it up over the summer sale. Haven't followed development lately though.

Picked up Pixel Junk Shooter for little under a pound on Humble's sale. Stunning little game visually, very playful. About what I'd expect from that studio. Audio is the most interesting thing about it to me. Would love to know what inspired them. I get a fantastic voyage vibe from the whole thing. Got a foil out of it as well, but it's not worth too much.
Hm, might chance it then.
It's the only thing in the bundle I don't really have.

Fuck it, I'll take the gamepad interface if it means SMT on Steam.
Ehh, on one hand, it's not really that interesting looking.
On the other hand, the dev says that it will have cards on launch.
Still not sure.

That game is a busted and janky piece of trash. Quit wasting your time.
I have no idea what that game is because you didn't post the name.
It's Dark Souls 2.

OMG, my brain just froze at the 1059 iPhone so I thought you were joking here.
Instead WOAH they look like really really kitsch, especially if compared to the Moto 360.
I don't know anything about their actual functions, but at least the Moto one looks like a gadget dropped from the future or something, and not some kind of lame jewel that people are gonna trade in for cash to buy a proper 1059 iPhone.
I loved Ellen's take on it.
LOL... this just popped up on the Apple Live Blog:
By Ellen DeGeneres:
Can't believe this made it to their official live blog!
Edit:
Nope.
Their new phones cost the same as their fucking Air laptops.
Apple are a fucking joke, which would be funny if lots of people didn't just throw cash at them.

Nah, I'd agree with RE5 being fairly bad too. Not a Resident Evil game while simultaneously a poor imitation of RE4, shoe-horned co-op with no unique mechanics of note, inventory streamlined, melodramatic, Matrix Wesker and Jill (ugh) alongside blockhead Chris for stars of the show, neutered violence, on-rail sections and zombies with guns coupled with typical cover-based shooter nonsense, et cetera. Even if it had a different name, there's not a whole lot to it that is actually that well executed in order to elevate itself.
At least the out-of-place rockpunching gave me a good laugh for all the wrong reasons.
Honestly that rating not too far off from what I'd give Dead Rising 3 if I actually believed in a score system. I'll just ignore some of the reviewer's tangets.
It is riddled with bad game design like you wouldn't believe. Then the Untold Story episodes kick up it a notch in awfulness.

I only recently got a tablet. I hardly ever use it, but it's great for travelling. Beats lugging a laptop around in my opinion.
is adding money to a humble bundle order after the fact to move up tiers easy to do?
I definitely want the $1 tier since I don't have any of them but don't really want to bother with anything higher even though prison architect looks sort of interesting since I already have papers please and gone home
was thinking i'd get the $1 tier now and bump it up to the prison architect tier if whatever gets added in a week is any good
