I put up six bucks, so I feel six times as smug as someone who put up ninety-nine cents, but these games are also worth more than six bucks, so there ya go.

$5 paid. How about a Jolt Country Play Through of the set?

Agreed! Let's start out with.... well, what are ya playing first??

I already bought Ben there Dan that and Time Gentlemen off Steam for about 3$ a while back, otherwise I probably would have grabbed this. Haven't finished the first of those 2 yet.

I purchased this just to get 1893: A World's Fair Mystery, but all these games look interesting.

I haven't tried all of them, but the intro to "Metal Dead" is fantastic. For those that haven't purchased the bundle yet; it's an extra, so you'll have to pay slightly more than the $0.99 minimum, but it's worth it!

Someone once pointed out that if you are buying something you don't want, don't need, or can't use, or have no interest in, it doesn't matter how cheap it is.

I looked at this package and I haven't the slightest idea what the games are about or what they are.

I watched the video and I get the impression Gemini Rue is some sort of side scroller.

I'm also trying to understand something, that game has its own website where it's for sale for $12.95. Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense unless this is the demo version of that game. Or maybe it isn't. I'm not sure if I understand this.

Well, it looked interesting, and I decided, well, it ain't that much, I've wasted more than this on some things. But I decided to be reasonable, and since my "name" is Tansin Arogan Darcos, I decided to pay $6.66.

Or I would have. Fuckin' paypal has my credit card number on file, but it's not verified so it can't use it. Hell, can go to Google Payments and use a credit card for a one-time payment. But noooooo, can't do that. Paypal has to run a charge of $1.85 or so (which they will refund) and then there will be a transaction number I can give them to verify the number is mine. Then I can use my card.

Scumbags.

Amazon.com would be out of business if they pulled this kind of shit to prevent you from buying things.

Update: I was able to tell Paypal to let me use my card as a guest and skip using my Paypal account. That worked.

Update: While I'm trying to download the files, I had to change directories and create one. Now the download key has expired. Who the hell creates an access key that expires in less than ten minutes?

Update: Tried again, got a similar message. Tried having it send me a re-issue of the authorization message. That seemed to work. I dowloaded the items.

The only think I wasn't sure about was whether to download the 3 games that run under Steam or download them. But I decided, Steam does all the bookkeeping and installs and everything, let it handle it.

But I tell you, now I know why they're offering it in this low-cost method, it's because of the irritation you have to go through to pay for it! :)
