Somewhat related to sales as this has only started happening after the Steam summer sale started. Has anyone seen anything like this? Looks like it does a fake "purchase" every time I add something to my cart?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I didn't include prices for some reason but the bottom-most instance of Pixel Heroes also has its price listed as FREE.


Also, Oceanhorn is pretty good so far if you want something that resembles the top-down Zelda games. It's still on sale, just less so than yesterday. I was hoping the sailing would be open a la Wind Waker but it ended up being "click somewhere then watch as you autonomously sail there".

What? Skyrim Legendary edition is 14 bucks.
Skyrim DLC all total up to 23 bucks.

(I already have Skyrim, but not the DLC.)

Yeah, I saw that too, I'm in the same boat. Hopefully they'll drag their heads out of their asses and discount the DLC properly.

So I was waiting for ARK to go on daily deal before picking it up in the hopes that it'd get ever so slightly cheaper. Unfortunately that doesn't appear to be the case. Well, if it's not getting any cheaper than this any time soon I'll probably end up picking it up anyways.

The ARK discount has not changed. It is anything but a Daily Deal.

Wot you guys think of Infinifactory, for the price?

There's a new weekly humble bundle for "Cat themed" games, or has that one already been out for a couple days too?

Infinifactory was a very solid buy for me when it came out.  It's... kinda like his earlier free work, or like SpaceChem, but frankly it's easier.  Also a lot like designing industrial systems in Minecraft modpacks like FTB.

It's still hard, but I'm bad at puzzle games and never got particularly frustrated.  Couldn't get far in SpaceChem (as much as I enjoyed it), yet got through this and felt great.

Example of his free stuff, though obviously his interface design is *far* improved now:

I want to go back and play the new free missions he added to Infinifactory, sometime.

Edit: One thing about the difficulty is that a lot of it is optional.  There's no reward for having a more efficient system, or using less pieces (technically, smaller footprint).  But it tells you, and that was enough to where I tried to design system which worked as fast as possible.  There's a thrill of seeing the next piece slide in juuuust after the previous moves out of the way.

Or in having a system that gets the job done fast, but spews extra pieces off the map or into a growing mound of detritus.

That's new. 6 days 22 hours left for a 7 day bundle.

If only Mewgenics would ever come out.

No mewgenics, not interested.  >.>

When I heard about the bundle, I expected to see that there.  Actually, I couldn't remember the name and no amount of searching for Cat Lady Game or Cat House Game turned it up, though there was some disturbing horror and porn sort of stuff.

Marketing and SEO fail for the mewgenics guys.  I guess also product launch fail, so marketing might be less of a concern there.

and lol@ torchlight 2 being on the cat bundle.  Good game, worth the $3 or whatever.

Battleblock Theater on sale on Steam for a flash sale. 2 hours left. 90% off. $1.50 for a $15 game. Fun little indie platformer with fun graphics and funnier dialogue.

Postal 2 is also on sale in the flash sale. 90%, $1 rather than $10. I mean, if you want to play a super edgy game that's basically a parody of edginess, there's your chance to do it for cheap.

Ori and Infinifactory finally went on sale...not as cheap as I was hoping for, but I went ahead and grabbed them.

Also picked up Battleblock Theater and Freedom Planet on impulse.

I saw Spec Ops: The Line in todays flash sales at a great price. I've had it in my library for a while since a friend recommended it for the story line, but haven't had time to play it yet.

Steam: The Spiderweb collection, including Avernum 2, is cheaper than just Avernum 2.

I was going to finally pick up anno 2070 on its 75% off sale, but then I noticed that it has 3rd party DRM and a three machine install limit? 

WTF is that, besides totally defeating the purpose of having it on Steam in the first place?
