Going to grab it. I have about half the games but not all. I see some Awesomenauts in our future. :)

It's also separate steam keys for each game this time...

I literally just got done purchasing this when I saw this post. Already had awesomenauts and little inferno but I really wanted to try capsized and Thomas was Alone.

Really great bundle this time. I'm thinkin' some cheerful ghost awesomenauts sounds preeetty great.

CG awesomenauts would be fun.

Hotline Miami is worth it alone. I may just pick it up for little inferno.

BR Supporter wrote on 05/29/2013 at 04:27am

I had a lot of fun with little inferno. It is a pretty quick game though. I beat it in about 3 hours but you might get some more playtime if you try to get all the secret combinations. Just something to keep in mind.

I had to get it. 3 games I've been wanting, Dear Ester, Proteus, and Little Inferno!

Anyone excited about this game?

Just played the demo and really liked it so far. Soundtrack is amazing too. It's available for pre-order on steam.

Thirteen years later, a new quest is discovered

This may not be new to a few Final Fantasy IX players, but to nearly everyone, this is an undiscovered sidequest that was just unearthed yesterday.

It requires a lot of obscure stuff to have happened before you can get everything, and most people won't even check after the first couple.

From the video description:

"This is a side quest on disc 4 that was unknown to most FFIX players until yesterday when a topic popped up on the FFIX message board at GameFAQs. It was discovered by The_Kusabi_ (through the Ultimania guide) and confirmed by MysterPixel. Naturally, I had to check it out and I decided to record a video.

Scrolls Launching June 3rd

Scrolls is the next game from the mega-ultra-huge Indie game company Mojang, the company that made Minecraft. The game will be available June 3rd and will be for sale on the Scrolls website for $20. The game will ship on Mac and PC.

Scrolls is one of two upcoming Collectable Card Games I am very interested in and will be picking this up on day one. According to people in the beta, the game doesn't have in game micro transactions but you do earn in game currency to buy cards and from the video you can trade them with others.

Because this is a game that has been on my radar for sometime, I am also trying something new with the Cheerful Ghost Event System. I added the... Read All

Yo Dawg, I Heard You Like Updates!

Instead of make a post per game update, I decided to condense them into one super post. This post covers updates for Terraria 1.2, Stardew Valley, Secrets of Grindea and Starbound. So lets hit it, shall we?

terraria 1.2

YouTube sensation ChippyGaming released the above Terraria 1.2 video featuring some new armor and dyes. He has access to the Terraria 1.2 beta and was planning on doing a series of spoiler videos, but due to some unfortunate communication with ReLogic, was only able to post the one video.

stardew valley dungeon crawling update

ConcernedApe posted a new update on Stardew Valley showing off some of the cave exploration parts of the game.

"As you explore the... Read All

Mercenary Kings: 2D Pixel Shooter -w Crafting

Mercenary Kings is a neat looking Metal Slug styled shooter that was funded on Kickstart last year I totally missed. The game is being made by Tribute, the awesome team that brought us Wizorb and is currently in the closed Steam beta for Kickstarter backers.

The video above shows off the shooting, missions and crafting that makes Mercenary Kings unique. The game also boasts 4 player local co-op something I plan on trying out with my friends.

If you played Metal Slug in the arcade, like me, you might love this franchise. The last new Metal Slug was in 2009 and it seems that now its just re-released on systems in various forms. I picked it up the Metal Slug anthology on... Read All

Starcrafts: Mine For The Taking

Funny, but a very defective mine. Well defective looney tune style.

Jonathan Blow talks about The Witness

After Microsoft's XBox One reveal, it seems Sony is pushing the Playstation 4 efforts in a very different direction. Sony released a interview with indie developer Jonathan Blow(of the Braid fame) about his new game that will debut on the Playstation 4 called The Witness. Instead of focusing on TV, movies and sports, Sony seems to be focusing on games and indie developers.

Still unsure if I will pickup a Playstation 4, but so far Sony is pushing this a bit closer to my style.

In the video Jonathan talks about being an indie developer and that he can pick what games he wants to create. He talks a bit about The Witness and there is some video showing it off. Whenever I... Read All

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/03/2013 at 05:49am

Well vdogmr you could still win depending on how late July it turns out to be :D

Blue_Element wrote on 09/11/2013 at 11:15pm

The update is officially out on October 1st. Umm... Did I win? :P

jdodson Admin wrote on 09/11/2013 at 11:32pm

As I see it, yeah you did. This was fairly beyond what they originally promised but yeah, you were the furthest out!

Blue_Element wrote on 09/11/2013 at 11:54pm

Yay! I feel like the contest kinda ended since they haven't announced the release date until now. So, I'm not even sure I can count this as a win.

jdodson Admin wrote on 09/12/2013 at 12:13am

It's a win, because I made a trophy AND SOMEONE IS GONNA GET IT DAMMIT! I mean, it does look really neat. After I film the CG roundtable, i'll hit you up with it.

But yeah, they are way over the original release zone. Still, be fun to play the new content in October.

Blue_Element wrote on 09/12/2013 at 12:51am

I get a trophy? SWEET! :D And I hope someone makes another Terraria wrapper for 1.2 when it comes out. Being a Mac gamer is hard.

jdodson Admin wrote on 09/12/2013 at 03:15am

And there we are:

I was really bummed if something happened and someone couldn't win that trophy, it's really cool. I might do some limited edition trophies for the next Terraria server if there is interest.

:D So cool!

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 09/12/2013 at 02:11pm

We kept debating relaunching the contest. He kept saying "I'm pushing forward the release" and then "Wait no I'm not."
