I saw this game that totally, like, had a female main character. Totally aimed at, like bronies. That shit made me puke.
was clearly sarcastic.

We're all bro(nie)s here, right? Let's not argue over this.  :P

Um. Well.

Lichdom: Battle Mage is the daily deal on Steam. 66% off. It's got kinda middling reviews and I've never played it, but maybe it's okay-ish?

Run or Die is 30% off right now on steam, only $3.49. It's a very fun platform runner, the idea being that you have 5 different skills and are equipped with two ones that you "need" (which can be in either slot) for a given section, swapping to two new skills every 500 units or so. I've already sunk over 2 hours into the game, and I'm nowhere near burnt out on in yet.

Edit: It's also got a really fun set of challenge maps, as well as steam workshop support for users to create their own.

Then again, I consider Infinity to be overly ambitious, something that might easily spell it's downfall.

Soooo... About that StarWars bundle over on Humble...

It looks like they DID add the rest of the Jedi Knight / Dark Forces series, with the exception of the Secrets of the Sith expansion. 

Odd choice to leave that out, maybe an oversight.

Anyway, the Steam reviews suggest that compatibility is a major issue and the games run like shit on modern systems.  It sounds like GOG has them working properly, so it is POSSIBLE to make them work.

Does anyone know, if I pick them up on Steam will I be able to run them under DosBox after installing them?  I think that is basically how GOG handles compatibility, and unless Steam has inserted extra DRM then I dont see why it wouldn't also work there.

Most of those are for the singles. Gotta get your frustrations out somehow.

I liked it, and I'm a 34 year old non-brony man.   :P  I also think I was staggeringly bad at it, since it took me a while to beat it.

I haven't played a lot, don't write down notes and every time I play, I tend for forget all previous runs, so to this date I haven't beat it yet.

I've never seen so much pink and death mixed together in a single game.

Bronies catch on to preteen girl stuff.
I dispute that. For example, hardly any Bronies like the previous 3 generations of the My Little Pony cartoon at all. No-one will even watch that stuff now, brony or otherwise. That was never a "thing" nor was it a "thing" for brony-types in the past to get into Strawberry Shortcake or Care Bears. You don't hear bronies discussing the Bratz cartoon, or Barbie or anything. You'd be ostracized in bronydom if you liked something like Bratz. Other little girl or pony-related stuff has never gotten a look in with the brony crowd, except in an ironic sense.

The only comparable thing with adult guys getting into a kids/girls show was Power Puff Girls - and that was by the same creator for the new MLP. So, maybe it's a thing that Lauren Faust shows appeal to adults as well as kids, rather than fans of Power Puff Girls or My Little Pony are "into pre-teen girl stuff". I've only watched a few eps of the new MLP, but I can see that the writing is a lot different to typical kids shows, it's more clever, self-referential and it pours the saccharine on in a self-aware style: the sweetness is way over the top to the point of parody.

Also, Long Live the Queen is about the opposite of a pre-teen girl game: it's clearly marketed at late teen and adult anime & RPG fans. It's not the kind of game they make for kids, way too much reading, stat optimization and RPG mechanics to master. It's not a game aimed at < 12's.

Groupees kindly go back to their DRM-Free roots with Bundle In A Box 3. There`s a few indie games and couple of music albums, but the (rather unexpected) highlight is Covert Action - Sid Meier`s classic from the true Golden Era of videogaming.

(I`m sure somebody would label it an "espionage roguelike" or something these days and it would be a massive indie hit :P)
