Now that you mention it, I do actually have the physical version of that. Not quite the same, without telepathic space worms though
I had to do the same thing earlier today. Mainly since one rep told me I had the instant vid credits.
Second guy told me the system is out of whack, and they are trying to replace/fix it.

I started off small and bought a dollar mp3 to see if it would work. It applied credit so I thought I was golden and bought a $15 movie.
Turns out I must have just had a random $5 mp3 credit from something else.
ah that must be it. I know i've gotten a couple $5 off credit but nothing that should amount to +$90.

fml 4 dollars short of DR2.
Just curious, where did you get Half Minute Hero for that price ?
You'll wait forever for Mark of the Ninja in a HB.
whatever happens first ... 75% or humble bundle

Pity about that DRM.
It was a flash yesterday morning.

Ah, my mistake. It was $3.39 during the Flash Sale yesterday when I bought it

Kinda off-topic, but do you guys know why Amazon claims taxes over my downloads? Sometimes 10% of the game's price!
Actually, I was under the impression that Microsoft developed the game, but they are the publishers, don't know if it is an "indie" game, though...

Anno is 70% off over at gamersgate.
I did the same thing, with a $2 rental. Then checked right away to see if I was charged. Good thing Amazon's customer service rocks.

Only really planning on getting Unity of Command and Magical Drop V before this sale is over.

Wait, what?
How?
Does this mean that I've got $40 off on mp3, video and games? How do I use this?
How did I get this?
Whoa, says that I have $20... someone said that this is only for F2P transactions?
The best pure stealth game released since Hitman Blood Money in 2006.
Yes, Skyrim (and DLCs) were a flash deal, as well as Morrowind and Oblivion.

what does that mean?
Only similarities are zombies.
Dead Rising 2 is open world and third person as the player is stuck in a Las Vegas knockoff and the focus is more on humiliating zombies than it is surviving. Also Dead Rising has a level up system and the story has a countdown clock so be prepared to play the first couple days a few times, though player levels carry over between games. The game is fun, but be prepared for a lot of jank, though depending on what you like and can tolerate that might not be a turnoff. Honestly the best way to judge is to watch some game play.
Also Off the Record is basically a retelling of Dead Rising 2 with a different character, same story basically and locations but some game play mechanics have been fixed and a new area is added.

Now these are some fucking flash deals. MotN is mine and it sounds like Deadlight can wait until 75% off in the future. With Hotline Miami, Castle Crashers and MotN out of the way all I need to finish this is FTL.
Now for the sleeping until I can put some money in the bank tomorrow morning...

So it still has DR1's horrible clock thing getting in the way? Ugh.. I think I'll pass. The day they make a good DR game with no stupid countdowns/timers getting in the way of my fun is the day that they can take my wallet.
No GT Legends?
Guys, whoever hasn't bought Hotline Miami yet needs to do it.
I'm gonna give you one good reason, and only one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYLxlIF7Wn0. If this doesn't convince you, you're not meant to play videogames, nor listen to music.

Music sounds cool but... not sure how it's so good that if it doesn't convince me that I don't need to play games or listen to music.

You might be able to find a copy of morrowind in the buy/sell/trade thread as a lot of people who got the bethesda bundle most likely already owned it.
for example here's someone you could ask
(there might be cheaper ones than that, it was just the most recent one I found)

I appreciate satisfying melee combat. Does the protagonist matter? Just wondering if Frank West is a downgrade from the original.
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
It's a hard-as-nails bloody-visceral beat'em'up with an interesting take on the genre where you'll die. A lot.
But learning the layout/strategy of a level and getting it nailed down to a damn good OST had me, personally, feeling like a badass.

I've never played any of the Red Orchestra games. What's your take on them GAF?
No Steam key, but there's free copies of Auditorium here:

The only game I wanted to go on sale was Mark of the Ninja, insta-bought!
Off the Record has a freeplay mode. Not sure if it's still on some overall clock, but you won't have to rush to story events. There's also a clock mod for DR2 that will slow the timer to a crawl.

The time isn't even a bother if you play correctly, but Off the Record added a Sandbox mode where you can just kill zombies and not worry about time.
Don't blame me, that's what the experts said (protip: I'm an expert)
Nah, but seriously, give it a chance. Though it's easy to say that when it comes to other people's money, I know that. But I'm so glad I fell for GAF's hype on this game, it was truly awesome and one of 2012's highlights in my opinion.

Watched some videos and I'm not seeing it I guess. I might give it a chance one day but I'm not in a hurry to spend money on it.
Thank you, I will try that.
