    Regarding that Amazon sale they have a 2.99 Casual Games bin that has managed to snag a handful of not so casual games in them. Examples include Cargo! The Quest for Gravity (Steam key) http://www.amazon.com/Cargo-The-Quest-Gravity-Download/dp/B004XDZEUG?tag=cheapassgam08-20

    The Whispered World (which will run you 20 bucks on Steam or 15 on GOG), the Commandos series, the Alien and Zombie Shooter series, among others.

    Oooh, nice. How long does this sale last?


    General Mayhem sale is 12 days from now. They'll be adding games they've said, and some games will be leaving early (all of the Square Enix and EA stuff is just till the 20th). Everything else so far is the full 12 days.

    Not bad - now I just need to figure out is my stupid Visa card's "shop with points" thing works on games this way.

    What I did was get open to the revelation that Coinstars give gift cards these days. Took a jar full of coins and turned it into an amazon voucher. Wish someone had bonked me on the head when they started doing this. Steam needs to get on that bandwagon.

  • jclastjclast Registered User regular
    For most stuff the shop with points thing that Chase does is pretty good. I'm just astounded that it doesn't work on something like a kindle book or an mp3 because it's electronic. I'm not sure if this would fall into the same boat because it is an electronic thing, but I'm not downloading said thing from Amazon.

    What really?! That's awesome! I would love to dump my loose change into my Steam Wallet in this fashion... but even the Amazon gift card is a fantastic idea. Gotta see if the machine at my grocery store offers that option.

    Coin star takes a cut if you want cash back, but the online vouchers are great since there's no fee. I usually go down about once every year or two, stand there for 20 minutes sorting coins, then get the amazon voucher. Pretty nifty.

    E: huh, they do toys r us now I guess. Yet another way to turn loose change into vidya games.

    Yeah, it's pretty great... When I moved late last year I brought the change I'd been accumulating for years to a coinstar machine. Ended up with over $200 in Amazon credit. The Safeway employees were amused by how long it took for the machine to register it all.

  • ElderlycrawfishElderlycrawfish Registered User regular
    Its also pretty damn noisy. Feel kind of awkward when people are standing in the vicinity and I'm just plinking out like I hit the jackpot or something.

    LOL, yeah I remember going in with a big jar full o' coins and having to shove 'em in a handful at a time to avoid jamming the machine.
    But really, who goes in with only a few?

    I do! I keep a ceramic bowl/ashtray thing by my bed for change and it gets filled up every few weeks or so, usually getting me between $20 and $40.

    Holy shit! I won Space Marine!

    Yesssss

    I remember people bagging on it a bit for being really repetitive so I never picked it up, but man now I can't fucking wait to chainsaw some orks.

    Edit: Also okay, why is Saint's Row 3 being listed as $90 on a bunch of services, marked down to $25? Is it... to like weirdly hide that it's not that great a sale or what the hell?

    According to the CAG thread the Amazon guy expects them to get Stronghold Collection Steam keys if anyone is interested in that (5 bucks). Have also said Crusader Kings 2 will hit the sale at a really great price.

    Hmmm, good thing I can order these from the UK. Divinity 2 and Metro 2033 are definitely coming to my Steam backlog - cheers!
    Odd, I get ' Game Downloads are only available to US customers ' for every listing. Is there an additional step or setting you've done?

    This is in spite of the fact that I did NOT win the Steamgifts giveaway. It's because he's classy like that.

    Hey chaps. It appears that Steam has capriciously bestowed upon me a coupon for 50% off King Arthur II. I own KA1 and have barely ever gotten around to playing it, so I have little use for this. If anybody wants it, it's up for grabs. Expires the 28th of this month, though.

  • Al BaronAl Baron Registered User regular
    Hm. I'm curious: did people who got those coupons already owned KA1?

    What about those EVE coupons a few months back?

    I've been interested in the Battlestation games for a while, but I don't know a single soul who has played them. Anyone have any impressions?

    Battlestations Midway? That's the only one I played and it was on Xbox.

    It was pretty interesting, but the game was not easy for me. But maybe that was because I was playing on a console. The tutorial is long but you can dive into the first mission (Pearl Harbor) if you feel like it. Every single boat, submarine and airplane can be piloted by you. You can swap between different units on a whim and take control of them, but you give overall commands via a map, completing missions.

    Its kind of an Action RTS., but more mission oriented. It's a lot of fun switching between units like being a dive bomber pilot then switching to the nearest battleship once he drops his payload. I live for those kind of games but if you want to play an Action RTS I recommend Sacrifice which is usually 9.99 or the Airmech Alpha/Beta, which is F2P.

    That... sounds really, really good. Dammit, now I have to look into this.
