Shit that is a nice humble bundle but I just dished out $20 for the last one and haven't even played half of the games yet (more like 2)... might give a pass.

I'm gonna do it for Thief and the Deus Ex maybe. I dunno, dude, it's a good bundle.

Thief Gold looks worth just getting the sub-price limited bundle if you don't have a lot of cash.

I would get at least the cheapest bundle, but the only things to run on a mac are Hitman Absolution (above average) and Deus Ex: HR (Above 15).

Also KSP is the only game I play atm.
Who said that?
Chamber. It's all a conspiracy.

But I don't want to end up like you :/.

I got Dues Ex from picard in steam IDs. Kane and lynch suck. I have just cause 2 already. The new Dues Ex game is a wash for me. SO the $15 is out already.

The only game in the $8 version I really look forward to is hitman because I have never played one of those. But hit man is in the $1 version. But even then I'm really just getting it for thief which will just sit in my steam for a year until I realize I have it. So yeah, I'll wait for the other games to come out, but as it stands I'm probably going to pass.

Deus Ex (original) and Deus Ex: Human Revolution are both awesome, in my opinion. Deus Ex is a classic.

Yeah, but it isn't worth $15 when I still have all the bioshock games to play, Just cause 2 to play, XCOM to finish, and specops the line to enjoy. That's at least 150+ hours of content. I just can't justify spending more when I have that much to play plus what I already had in backlog.

And if you mean XCOM enemy unknown, I think there's only like 12 - 16 hours of play in that tops

Spec ops: the line is like 5 hours long, I think I finished it in two sittings. It's so short it's one of the few games I actually have finished


No one plays just cause 2 for the story, so you'll probably never get around to beating it

spec ops took me longer than that but i suck at fpses
but it's not very long no

also i am a completion freak which is why i have so many unplayed games, i often double or triple my playtime on some games simply doing completiony stuff
like uhh. Electronic Super Joy was a platformer game I beat in under 3 hours that took me about 19 total to 100% that's kind of what happens because i'm crazy

Okay here is a list of games I want to play in the near future but haven't had time to yet.

Just Cause 2
Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines
Deus Ex
Finish the NEW xcom
Xcom Apocalypse because that was a game that I always saw/heard about but never played.
Bioshock 1 and Infinite (in spite of my rage)
Tropico 4
Divinity 2
Sid Meier's Alpha Centari (again... but I want to play on a harder difficulty)

I know this list is not as big a list as yours but I, like Parama, tend to spend more time than the average play through. I like to explore the game and usually play on a harder than "normal" difficulty level for a first playthrough.

Which part?
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

The ending.

Spoiler:
So I took it to mean that Narissa was glamored as Faith when Bigsby met her at the start. And, while I totally get that... I just kind of think, so what? Faith is still the one that died, so who cares if it was Narissa or not in episode 1? All it means is that Narissa pretended to be Faith in order to give Bigsby a motivation to care about the case... and that's it. Why is it a big deal?

Spoiler:
I took it to mean that she sent Bigby to investigate Crane despite knowing that he wasn't involved in Holly's or Faith's death because he was into Snow, which gave Bigby the motivation to care, and that she lied in the "Trial" to convince Bigby to kill the Crooked Man.

Spoiler:
I took the Crooked Man back to stand "trial" after killing Bloody Mary- trial in quotes because it was down in the Witching Chamber with Bluebeard, Beauty, Beast, Greenleaf, Gren, and Holly as the jury, rather than anything official. Crooked Man starts talking his way out, pointing out that nobody has any actual evidence against him except Bigby's word, only for Nerissa to show up and claim that she personally witnessed him ordering Faith's murder, which is enough to get the jury to declare him guilty. Then, after the trial, Nerissa basically admits to Bigby in private that her testimony was a lie- the order to kill Faith came from Georgie, not Crooked Man; she just knew that Crooked Man wouldn't go down unless she lied.

There is some debate about the ending in The Wolf Among Us. Some people think the person at the end is
Spoiler:
Nerissa, who was galmoured as Faith in ep 1
Others think that
Spoiler:
Nerissa has been dead the whole time, and the Nerissa that you see at the end is actually Faith. That's why Doc Swineheart's test on Faith's corpse is inconclusive, and it fits the lore that Faith is a person who is experienced at hiding herself and her beauty.

Spoiler:
It shows that Bigby, even when he thought he had all of the puzzles in the right place, wasn't 100% right. I dislike (and by dislike, I mean that there are some glaring problems with some of the newest choices in these games--don't get me started on how fucking dumb I felt with TWDS2 Episode 4) most of the new Telltale stuff but TWAU did some really nice stuff.

It doesn't add any relevant information. Your choice at the end probably doesn't matter. This is Telltale we're talking about. However, it gives your Bigby's story closure. Will you go after this person who now looks awfully suspicious or will you close the case? There's an awful lot of thinking you'll have to do in those 5 seconds, depending on your playthrough. If you killed the Crooked Man in the warehouse, then I don't think there's that much thinking involved. However, if you brought The Crooked Man to court, the testimony that really convicted The Crooked Man was the one that Nerissa/Faith gave you. So, if she's lying, that means that The Crooked Man was
somewhat
innocent. You as Bigby know that he's guilty. There's no way he can't be. Does Fabletown know that he's guilty? They were pretty swayed by the arguments that The Crooked Man gave.

It's just food to chew on at the end of the game. It's not relevant but it's a nice ending.
