merry xmas (GOG/Steam direct download weekly specials)

Osmos is well regarded but I haven't tried it yet.

Ahhh I just bought Braid! Still looks pretty cool.

Osmos features "sublime electronic soundtrack by Loscil, Gas/High Skies, Julien Neto, Biosphere, and more"? Why, I guess I am sold, then. Click!

looks like it's time for my yearly transformation into James Cobo, Hater Of Stupid-Ass Braid

So crazy

Osmos is a great gaming experience and the soundtrack rocks (in an extremely ambient way of course)

PC & Mac versions of Civ V both $37.50 on Steam right now, go git it

A lot more indie packs for the upcoming holiday sale got "leaked" on CAG again, though the poster was annoyed that someone reposted the info on the official Steam forums *forehead palm*, for anyone who is interested, you should be able to find it pretty easily in the forum. All I gotta say is... potato?

Does anyone know of a way I can check to see if my Mac can run Civ V smoothly before I drop the cash and buy it?

another pay what you want thingy

http://groupees.yawma.net/gr8

currently Max and the Magic Marker + an indie album

is that Girl Talk album tomorrow? hah

Mordy, what video card is in your Mac? The min spec for Civ V is a Radeon 2600/GeForce 8600. If you have Intel, forget it.

the potato thing sounds insane

xp to Nhex, I have a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M -- do you think it'll run okay?

it might, but I'm a little skeptical. it may still run but you'll definitely have to lower resolution, details, etc. which may or may not matter in a game like Civ

the current GOG motto is "I LIKE IT CHEAP AND UNPROTECTED"

I wish you could activate GOG games on steam

these sales always backfire on me b/c I realize I need to drop 2k on a new computer for a $10 game, smh

picked up Trials 2 (it was $5, not $2.50; J'ACCUSE), Dangerous High School Girls In Trouble, and Colonization

well technically it was the Civ 4 complete pack which includes Colonization but w/e

Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble will probably be one of my last day pick-ups, hoping it goes on a daily

Bought railworks WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

haha! god why would you do that, why

how was that pinball game? i didn't even know it existed

S'alright. Physics modelling is pretty good, and it looks nice, but the table design isn't great. The Pro Pinball titles are old but they're all still totally playable, and are cheap on gog, and this isn't better than any of those.

It's the promise of realistically modelled grim suburban backstreets that sold me on railworks. I just want to sit in first class and look out of the window.
