    GOG is giving away free copies of Saint's Row II right now.


    Here is a code for it, since I clicked the "get it free" button before I remembered I owned a copy.
    1BB49-2245A-6C2FF-971B7


    Enjoy!

    Hm, I keep forgetting about this thread. Ah well, I have a couple of Humble Bundle keys that I have no use for, so I guess I can give them away.


    PM me for the key (first to ask will get): All claimed

    - Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation
    - Brigador: Up-Armored Edition
    - Maize
    - Shoppe Keep
    - Superhot

    Outland is free to pick up on Steam until June 8th in celebration of the dev's next game coming out. It's a platformer that's big feature is that you can swap between light and dark colors - kind of like Ikaruga, but not a shmup.

    EDIT: Alot of shmup elements from enemies though with shot patterns and recurring hazard patterns.

    They are giving away 5 million free copies of Payday 2 on Steam. First come, first serve, but with 5m free copies I don't expect it to run out for a while. Offer expires 6/21/2017.

    Sweet, been ages since I played.

    ...shit got that partially done LP on SB of this. No clue if I still got the save file on that. Or the file editor I was fooling around with. Or even how I made the fuckin' emulator work so I could play it.

    Edit: Actually dug up the LP itself if anyone's interested.

    Monaco: What's Yours is Mine is free on Steam for today, Sept. 7th.

    Top down, 2D heist game. Looks interesting, picked it up at work so I can't check it out further than the gameplay vids, but it is being touted as a great co-op game.

    Psychonauts is free on HumbleBundle for the next day and a bit (46 hours).

    It's amazing and if you don't have it in your library, go get it. If you haven't played, it get it. It's awesome. Yahtzee did one of his first reviews on it, and it's one of the few reviews he gives with heaps of praise.

    Humble Bundle varies in quality. I bought something like almost 3-4 in a row a while back, and have been in a drought ever since, and have not picked up any more. Partially that's because I'm on Linux and most of the bundles contain zero to two Linux games. Other times they do an Indie bundle and 8/10 games have Linux versions. Also, if you watch them long enough, some of the same games will turn up in their bundles - you might end up gifting some titles to friends just because you have extra codes.

    I've gotten some excellent games from their monthly bundles. XCOM 2, Black Mesa, Stellaris, Pillars of Eternity, and Rise of the Tomb Raider in early October. Good deals for half a dozen games for only $12 every month.

    Humble Bundle is giving away Outlast + the Whistleblower DLC for free for the next 39 hours or so. Survival horror isn't really my bag, but hey, it's free.

    HumbleBundle's Down Under Bundle has the first tier as 'pay what you want.' So free, if you wish.
    Tier 1 is The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, Screencheat, Hand of Fate, and Satellite Reign. I've heard good things about Hand of Fate and The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. I'm not sure if Satellite Reign is any good, and I've never head of Screencheat.


    EDIT: It's cheap, but not free.

    I believe it offers other sources like GOG or direct download if you don't choose a Steam Key. That said I'm not sure - I actually bought T2 since it was all under $4.

    Humble Bundle's giving away Guns of Icarus Online for the next 44 hours or so.

    Free stuff from me this time. I have a extra copies of a couple of games from recent bundles I picked up. PM for gift links, first come first served.

    Warmachine: Tactics
    I kickstarted this, so I already have a copy+DLC. If you like Warmachine, give it a go. It is almost absurdly faithful to the MkII ruleset - really to it's detriment. Things that are as easy as picking up a model and making a verbal declaration in meatspace involve more clicks than necessary, and the UI is not the best. That said, it's a pretty faithful rendition of the universe and ruleset.

    Hacknet
    To be honest, I haven't even played this. I got in a bundle a while back and haven't bothered to install it yet, and now I have another copy. It's a terminal based hacking game, so it's considerably more realistic than playing pipedream or matching or whatever other minigame is used for it in your other games.

    Don't have the slightest idea. I just know my computer won't be able to handle it, and I'm not that interested in keeping around till whatever day I upgrade.

    Yeah, it ran fine on my Win7 machine, never had a crash or major bug. But apparently there is an issue with the tutorial UI and crashes are frequent on some systems.

    It's not a great game, tbh. It's got a semi interesting story, but I got to mission 5 or so and stopped caring enough to slog through the UI.
