    New Serious Sam themed Indie Royale bundle. Has first and second encounter as well as some of the random indie games they commissioned during the run up to Serious Sam 3. Most of it registers on Steam.

    http://www.indieroyale.com/

    Edit: Apparently this is a 'lightning round' so it only lasts 100 hours. Hop to it.

    Double edit: Serious SAME was a typo. Whoops. Hilarious.

    Based on the RPS article I read, they submitted an earlier build and were rejected, but I think they may be trying again.

    Now I am wondering how I have never seen anyone intentionally write it as "Serious Same 3" in a derisive tone. :)

    Okay, so my Steam window now seems to be permanently stuck in full-screen windowed mode. I can move it around, but I can't resize it. Never run into this problem before. Anyone else?

    I kinda want to get that SS for the classic games, already have the others, but ehh, 3-4 bucks is how much you see them go on sale for on Steam already.

    Remember as far as the Indie Royale stuff goes, the keys are all independent. So you can redeem the ones you're missing and then either give out/contest out/hoard the others.

    Heh, I was reading that article but before I got far, I said, "Oh, that game." and the addictive center of my brain was activated and said, "MOAR!".

    I guess the only solution is to buy it now and buy a 4 pack later when it hits Steam.

    Defender's Quest is also not a really "finished" game in that they're going to be adding a bunch of content, that's why it's cheaper now too. When it's fully released and at its' normal price I imagine they'll resubmit.

    That Serious Sam indie pack is a great deal. Anyone who hasn't played SS should jump on it.

    According to Steam, I logged 20.4 hrs. I played on Medium difficulty, which for me was just the right amount of challenge. Any more and I don't think I could have kept up. Any less would have been boring.

    That's a nice chunk of time for how much that game costs. I'm considering picking it up. Unfortunately, it's the time of the month where I have to choose between buying games and buying groceries. Decisions, decisions.

    You can also find coupon codes for another $1 off. And if people haven't heard of this they really need to try the demo.

    The classics are worth considering since they cut a bunch of the wacky gravity levels (I think?) from the HD remakes.

    And those were fun times!

    Actually, the nose and facial width are pretty spot on. The jaw throws it off, though.

    Maybe this will sway your decision. Most of the music is from Ronald Jenkees. Here he is playing Throwing Fire, Stay Crunchy, and Disorganized Fun (which are just a couple of the songs in the game).

    On hard, I did everything except that damn spell. Frigging, jeez.

    Oh also never 100%'d a spell, because it was always just a bit tougher than I could manage. I'll probably start over on Medium, and play an hour until I can get that one at some point.

    Oh also, Sequence is fucking great: so great.

    Like

    I've said it already but it's the only time I've ever felt like I was actually learning what I was supposed to be learning. It's something like how Super Meat Boy makes you awesome at doing Super Meat Boy things. You get to the point where you're all "hm, I've gotten wicked comfortable with Arclight so maybe I should slot that in, but Slash is so easy I may as well use it as a damage spell but it's got a high cost..."

    Like it's so fucking good.

    I finished the other final spell (I forget what it was called) with 99.7%. I think I only missed one or two gems really close to the end. I ended up having to start over and got it on the first spell. What I didn't realize was that you can unlock that achievement during a practice round. That would have been nice to know ahead of time.

    But by "actively using" does that simply mean it's running in the background?
