I'd love to play, but I am busy a lot of the time and may not be able to make every session.

Still @_@

[Endless Sea]

Same here, except less "busy" and more "SHOULD BE busy". :P

Okay guys so for those of you who don't know humble bundle is happening. You get Arkham Asylum and City GOTY, FEAR 2 and 3, Scribblenaughts unlimited and LOTR War in the North. You pay what you want for the bundle and a portion of it goes to charity. I literally only payed $5

Edit: After some corrections it is actually 13 days, also here is the actual link which I stupidly forgot https://www.humblebundle.com/

Can't wait for Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea...

Egh...see, I'm essentially broke, so this is really, really awkward and tempting.

You can pay one dollar and get these games (at least as far as I'm aware)

[Pixelmage]

Scribblenauts and Batman: Arkham City you only get if you pay more than average, which as of this writing is $4,64.

Technically? You could pay 1 cent and grab the other 4 games. Though you need to pay at least 1 full dollar go get the keys to activate them over Steam. Beating the average for the 2 extras includes Steam keys as well, of course.

For the most part, at any rate. This one doesn't have the 1 dollar clause written in there and seems to be Steam exclusive. So, yeah. Also, it's going to last two weeks, the normal sales always does. They'll probably add about 2 more games to the "beat the average" side one week from now as well. So, yeah.

I'm kind of a humblebundle veteran, sort of?

Anyhow, for this one in particular, not looking to great to me in particular. I can't run the Batman games on my laptop, already have Scribblenauts and I'm awful in FPS as a rule, so F.E.A.R. kind of is a "get and never play game". That leaves only Lord of the Rings and I don't know about wanting to play that particular War in the North game, to say nothing of whether it'll run on my laptop or not... XD

So for now I guess I'll wait. See what they add in one week and see if it'll look more appealing by then. But yeah, this one has a ton of value to it @_@.

[Krika]

Well, none of those games particularly appeal to me, but the whole "really great deal" thing is tempting regardless.

I'm now the happiest TF2 player in Hong Kong-I mean, my friend felt guilty about not coming to my birthday, so he sends me a package via Steam. I open it, and out comes the Premium Gift! Every F2P's dream!

And now Burial at Sea is out, and I'm really excited!

[Genndy Oda C.O.G.]

It's only a video game in a looser sense, but I have recently discovered a RPG-styled habit management site, uncreatively known as HabitRPG. It's actually quite effective.

Congratulations! You are now a slave to hats.

Nah. I do not buy stuff from the Mann. Co store. Because I don't have a credit card. Also, I only like certain hats.

[The Wild West Pyro]

Also, if we have a TF2 server, I'd like the official map rotation to be this:
Gravel Pit
Dustbowl
Hydro
2Fort
Degroot Keep
Upward
Nightfall
Watchtower
Harvest
Doomsday
Coal Town
Decoy
Turbine
Ghost Fort
Eyeaduct
Mann Manor
Helltower
Lumberyard
arena_Well
Process
Gullywash
cp_Badlands
koth_Nucleus
Badwater Basin
Gold Rush

[Krika]

So, there's a new Humble Bundle.

That, among other things, has Civ 3 complete, Civ 4 complete, and Civ 5 with a decent chunk of the major DLCs.

Just putting that out there.

[The Wild West Pyro]

SOOOOOO:

And it will be 6 hours long.

[IslaKariese]

My God... it's beautiful.

[Scarab]

So I finished Bastion the other day.

Everything anybody has said about it is true, it's brilliant. Rather short, but that size fits. I'm now looking forward to Supergiant's next game Transistor.

[Krika]

So, um, should I try out Hearthstone? Can I get opinions on that?

[narrativedilettante]

The Humble Weekly Sale has Dear Esther unlocked at $6. Which was of interest to me, so I thought it might be of interest to some of you.

It is quite a good game. I very much enjoy it.

[The Wild West Pyro]

Burial at Sea-Part 2 is coming out on...March 25th? GODDAMMIT LEVINE HURRY UP AND RELEASE THE THING ALREADY SO I CAN WATCH THE PLAYTHROUGHS-I mean, I can wait. And that all caps thing was certainly not typed by me. Right?

[Guyshane]

May I present.....the greatest thing ever: http://www.twitch.tv/twitchplayspokemon

a twitch stream of pokemon red where they set up an emulator that understands directional inputs. Directional inputs from the stream comments.

Needless to say it gets a tad chaotic.

Anyway current Party is a Pidgey and either a Charmeleon or a Charmander (hard to tell) and somehow this has made it to the second gym after only.....1 day, 10 hours and 22 minutes.

LEVINE! *Shakes fist and Skyward Scream*

[Krika]

I don't know how many of you can actually take advantage of this, but I feel it is very much worth mentioning.
