While there's still time left, Mount & Blade Warband is a pretty damn good game. It's definitely worth the current price. Deal ends in ~50 minutes, though.

No idea. o.o

Crafted and got Serious Sam HD First Encounter. Seems like coal does have a good chance of giving a game, unless we were both just lucky.

Why do you want a discount on Binding of Isaac? >_> I've got one, but the coupon's only for 50% and the game's already on sale for that much off. And you can't double dip during this sale with these coupons; they don't work until January 2nd.

Is it already that cheap? Well then...! Thanks for the heads-up.

I'm finally making purchases; I held off for awhile since I wanted Mario Kart 7, but getting Binding of Isaac (plus its soundtrack) and Mass Effect 1+2 for $13 sounds better than MK7 for $40!

I;ve heard that Risen's like the Gothic series, but that doesn't help since I've played none of them.

Also get the general impression that it's better than Two Worlds but worse than Divinity 2. Though I haven't really played any of these games I've mentioned. >_>

I guess it's basically kind of a flawed/buggy middle string 5 or 6 out of 10 game, though you could check reviews.

Avadon is pretty awesome. Absolutely worth $2.50. It's well written, has a really good ambiguous-morality conversation system, and good old school mechanics. It's got a very lengthy demo too if you want to see for yourself.

How could you have got nothing? Three tickets = freebie, no luck involved. Of course, the freebies were almost all crappy DLC, so you've actually got a better chance at winning something worthwhile this time.

It's Nethack with a user-interface and more customizable character system.

It's fun if you like Roguelikes... basically a dungeon crawl where one mistake can kill you in a comical way.

This page is a pretty nice summary:
http://rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=232

Definitely worth $2 imo.


I have to disagree, I like almost every roguelike I've played (Stone Soup, DoomRL, Shiren, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Torneko, Nethack) and I found Dredmor incredibly boring. Grinding was way too long and floors were way too big, without any easy way to travel quickly like in all the others I mentioned.

anyone know how to make the eggnog in dredmore? honestly I have no idea how to get any of the achievements or what they mean.

I have edge too but I have no idea whats going on there either.


have one of your things be an alchemist

search around the level for grog (vending machine) and a diggle egg (fairly common near diggles)

open the alchemy recipie thingy in your inventory. scroll to the bottom. diggle nog recipe is there. done.

For the Eggnog, you need the alchemy set for starters, a Porta-Still. They're pretty easy to find, but if you take alchemy as a skill, you've got one right off the bat. From there, you need Aqua Vitae, a Diggle Egg, and Grog. Those are all fairly common; the egg and grog you can get from food and drink vending machines, respectively.

It's kind of fun, just annoying because I keep getting kills instead of assists. And if I don't land the killing blow noone else does. >_<

Ok, I found the following description from the forum:

The premise is that you have 8-16 players (IIRC) on a big cruise liner, who are each given a different player to assassinate. You will have one target to assassinate, and one person will have you as their target. You also have various sim-style needs to take care of - sleep, bathroom, etc. - you need to plan it in a way that doesn't leave you vulnerable to your attacker, but if you don't take care of them, you could jarate yourself or fall asleep on the floor. There are murder weapons scattered around the ship in various places, and the longer it's been since they've been used, the higher their value becomes. So if a butcher knife becomes a high price weapons, you'll have to start planning your route to take you through the kitchen to grab one... and your assassin might have the same idea.

Sounds like mafia game on steroids or something!
