Digital copies aren't much of a collection. Your real hobby is giving money to chairty and devs.

Lol. 

Don't forget the distributors and underlying infrastructure providers.  Personally I hope they get the biggest share, since they are the ones creating things that I actually use.

No, thats not fair.  I get immense value from thinking about some of these games, so I do hope the Devs get their fair share.

But seriously:  Spacehulk?  I'm thinking of putting it in my not-a-collection but dont want to not-collect both of them if I don't need to.

£1.50 for FTL is an utter steal. It'd be a good buy at ten times that.

Cosmic DJ is for sale for like $1 in the Humble store right now. (Not that it's normally expensive, but still.) It's not really a game, but that doesn't matter. It's SO much fun.

Also, on the Humble page it says it's early access. Not sure why - it doesn't say so on Steam. It is short, but it's complete.

Harebrained Schemes' Shadowrun series went on sale on Steam.
Bit off the new one, and a good chunk off the other two.

Alpha protocol is on sale for 89 cents at humble bundle.
I think any RPG/stelth fan should get it it at that price.

Yeah, there's some really neat stuff on sale over at Humble store currently. For instance, Blood Bowl: Chaos Edition is 5,99€ for next 20h, Strike Vector (which I haven't played, but heard some people here saying it's pretty ok) goes for a mere 1,79€, complete Darksiders franchise, which I heard is quite fun, will cost you 8,24€, if you fancy some quality ARPG there's Titan Quest Gold for 1,99€ and FFS if you haven't yet gotten yourself Red Faction: Guerilla for any other reason than lack of money you owe it to yourself to finally grab it now (though tbh I THINK it might have gone even lower in the past, up to around 85% off, iirc). All in all quite cool.

Kinda like Mass Effect with stealth and a really interesting conversation/reputation system.  I loved it, has replayability too.

I'll gladly +1 to Alpha Protocol. It had the best morality system ever... because it didn't bother having one and actually let you make your own decisions.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

Hell, you can be nice to everyone... then kill them all at the very last moment, with some caveats for situations where being hated gives you an opportunity to do so. Speaking of which, being an ass is as viable a playthrough as being a suckup.

And you're expected to mix and match, there's no general "nice guy"-"asshole" meter which unlocks stuff.  Your relationship with a specific person affects their actions and your options with them (and their allies, in some ways).

This is also the game where it tells you how much your nonlethal takedowns cost in medical bills.  Or how many orphans you created.  Which makes it sound darker than it is...  A lot of things have unfortunate consequences, but whether the PC gets upset about collateral damage is up to the player.

Edit: There's a lot of light humor too.  There's even one particularly wacky boss fight, justified by the guy being a foreign-retro-culture obsessed nutcase.  Language warning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPyxUUAyvNc
Final edit:  Stealth powers are useful in boss fights, too.  Gadgets, too.

Or enemies, for that matter. There are two notable characters who dislike each other, not getting along with one gives you a small relations bonus with the other, but you can make both like you if you're feeling manipulative.

Anyone know who/what/where/when/why/how tabletop simulator is going to go on sale? Because I need a sale to convince everyone I know to buy it.

No shady websites please.
