    How are the Blackwell games? I've got the Blackwell Deception but never played it, and it's apparently the third game in the series, so why would I want to start there? I can buy the other three games in the series individually for $1.47 and why am I even asking people on here about them at that price. Forget it. I just bought them.

    Woke up to a nice surprise as I found 3 pinball tables waiting for me from @Rikdaly showing that he is not only a master of pinball but also a master of class. Thank you very much for the tables, I'm going to hold off playing them until the charity stream so that I can try them blind for everyone to see.

    I never watch or follow soccer but the Football Super League table has been my favorite table lately. Taking pinball and theming it to the point of having goals scored and actual timed halves is simply brilliant.

    Alright everyone, I thought we had discussed this. Leave me alone this sale and we'll pick things up in Thanksgiving.

    Apparently, @Gear Girl has a slight literacy problem because I found this when looking through cards:

    The game looks great and I'm happy I finally have a computer to run it properly. I don't play a ton of first person shooters, but everything I've heard about it is really interesting. Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!

    For those people wanting Space Hulk DLC on sale, it's $3.49 at Humble Store right now. It's not an amazing discount but it's something.

    CORRECTION: I didn't realize there was more than 1 DLC. It's only the Space Wolves chapter that is on sale

    I have a question for future purchases. Dead Island Riptide...does it fix some of the pain in the butt elements from the first game, like the weapons made of styofoam? I loved the tropical setting, such a nice change from the norm, but never got around to modding it for durability.

    sorry about the delay, @iolo - it turns out my credit card # was getting changed by BOFA b/c of some mass data breach, but BOFA doesn't actually reach out to you to let you know they're reissuing, they just put your card on notice for suspicious activity (i.e. steam, green man gaming, etc.) and mail you a new card withotu telling you. so trying to donate let me get all that figured out.

    also, i'll put in another matching donation if we can get small, first-time donors to start giving too. i'll match donations up to 25 donations at $20 each for people who haven't given before to encourage some of those people who buy at the steam stale but don't donate to put in some cash. let @iolo know and we will true up later.

    What do people think of Age of Wonders 3? I have two friends who played it, and they had different opinions. Plus it's $20. But then it also includes the ability to label people heretics, so I am conflicted.

    Yeah, I've heard generally good things about the Blackwell series. I've been a fan of Wadjet Eye's other titles, like Gemini Rue and the Shivah, and $2.00 for the series bundle (Legacy, Unbound, Convergence, and Deception) is a goddamn steal.

    Am I correct that there's no reason to buy the Bioshock Infinite DLCs separately? If I want both Burial at Sea episodes I should buy the Season Pass, correct?

    Also I played the demo for Blackguards and enjoyed it. It has some pretty iffy reviews (68 on metacritic), but I think I'm going to pull the trigger unless someone has some real horror story to wave me off.

    Edit: Should I play Van Helsing 1 first or can I jump right into 2?

    The first Blackwell game was a lot of fun, but it did suffer from the whole "moon logic" adventure game puzzle issue. One of the puzzles involves:
    Sneaking a diuretic pill into a dog biscuit, then giving it to a dog to make it have to pee, so you have an excuse to take it outside to a doggie park to relieve itself.
    My recommendation? Just use a guide.

    Heads up, opinions and all, but I would never give Razer another dime based on their terrible drivers and even worse support department.

    I've probably told the story before, but if you're interested:
    Many years ago, bought a Razer mouse. Found that the drivers didn't work with WinXP Fast User Switching, and at the time my wife and I shared a PC. This meant that randomly only one of us could use the mouse's scroll wheel. After weeks working with the support department (during which time they told me that it had never been tested with Fast User Switching before), they refused to open a bug to update the software, so I elected to return it, as I'd purchased it directly from the website. It took another two weeks of calls to get an RMA number out of them, and then another call a week after they'd marked the package as received to inquire about the refund.

    Rather than credit it back to my card, they send me the refund via PayPal, who took 5% off of it as a processing fee. I once again contacted them to complain about the lack of professionalism, and they apologized and hinted they'd send me something to make it up to me (even though I didn't want anything but to say my piece and never buy from them again.)

    Two weeks later, I got a free mouse of the same model that I returned (thus, same driver problem), only this one obviously used/refurbed, and with a broken scrollwheel on it. I think it's still sitting in a box collecting dust somewhere.
