Humble bundle is doing another free game, Dirt Showdown, for just under 22 hours from posting this. The key you are sent needs to be redeemed by January 28th.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Codemasters; that's actually three in a row for them @ Humble.  Grid, Dirt 3 Complete, and now Dirt Showdown.

Looks awfully desperate from here...  maybe the racing genre has been suffering recently?  The not-really-optional-for-MP input devices are expensive, and that makes the buy-in unattractive.

To drive that home a little: I couldn't redeem my code since I already have the game...from a previous giveaway on Humble.

I haven't had any of the three that they've given away now, but of the first two (Dirt 3, GRID), I found Forza 4 on my 360 less problematical, in terms of how the cars control. Dirt 3 was frustrating because nothing can maneuver on dirt, apparently, but GRID is annoying too, not least because while it has controllable cars, it also requires you to drive cars that seemingly can't turn without spinning out before you can get your own car (and I have no idea how well that one controls).

For the record, I'm using a 360 controller.

Those games are all fairly old now and have been in bundles before, they're trying to get more attention towards Dirt Rally, the latest one, which excellent and far more simulation-oriented, as well as F1 2016 which isn't what I'm into but was apparently quite well-reviewed.

Humblebundle.com has a Payday 2 bundle out there. For a buck you get the base game, a gun pack, and some other stuff. For 6 bucks, you get the GOTY edition and a bunch more DLC. For a dollar I highly recommend it.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

GRID ain't bad but extremely twitchy compared to forza. it's more arcade geared, car handling isn't bad overall but everything is just faster. GRID 2 is trash and killed the series for me (who have played since the first TOCA)

Apparently they love the Witcher and Gal Civ 3 over there in Russia. Wait....i have those same deals on my store page! I've been hacked!

This was the point of all those hacks during the election, to monitor our buying patterns.

Pemmican is pretty incredibly durable. Corn and rice also lust forever without refrigeration.
Ah yes, the insatiable lust of corn and rice, clearly two of the most erotic foods.

Highly unlikely. Could be an installer locally.

I've had it do that to me a few times in the past. No-one else has even gotten access to my account; it's a (mostly) harmless glitch.
