So I have 2 extra keys for Insurgency on steam to give away. Does anyone want a copy?

Other than Dragon Age: Awakening and Assassins Creed 2, are there any good games going to be released soon?

Um, in what genre? Far Cry 4 is out. The new Final Fantasy is out. New Civilization. CoD Advanced Warfare is getting good reviews. The Borderlands Pre-sequel. Those are ones that are out now.

Coming up, there's Batman: Arkham Knight, GTA V, Pillars of Eternity, The Witcher 3, and Crusader Kings 2, all in 2015.

On a different note, if you've never played it, I highly suggest picking up Spec Ops: The Line on sale somewhere.

Spammer sadly.

[Iron Dragoon]

The list is still valid!

Not video game related, but for anyone that is into deckbuilding games Dominion is currently on rollback/sale at Walmart for $14.19.

For comparison: The MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price) is $44.99. Amazon sells at $34.99, CoolstuffInc at $29.99, and Board Game Warehouse at $28.82.

It's not the best deckbuilder (IMO), but at that price it's really not a bad game to pick up. And if you enjoy it, there's like 10+ expansions which you can invest in to make it more replayable (although none of those are on sale).

Anyway: The walmart link is http://www.walmart.com/ip/Rio-Grande-Games-Dominion-Board-Games/20576526

Looks both back up to normal prices, and out of stock.  So sounds like the window has closed.

[Merc]

Yeah, at that price not particularly surprised it ran out of stock.

So speaking of card games, the latest Humble Bundle is for a bunch of online-based card games.

Can't really say much for this bundle though...I've not had experience with most of those games, I've only ever played Star Realms as a physical game, and I found Dominion and Magic:Planeswalkers to be dull (but I played older versions, so they may have improved since?).

[Sierra]

I've got two extra keys for Pillars of Eternity if anyone who wants it hasn't already got it. PM me if interested. (Please specify GOG or Steam.)

[Dracos]

oh!  I'll take one!  Awesome Cid.

[Sierra]

Sure.

Both are spoken for now, enjoy.

For anybody interested in board games that has a nearby Barnes & Noble (or various), they're having a 50% off clearance sale which can often include those.

Your mileage may vary, but I found two tables full of various different board games when I went by today.

During other B&N sales though, I've been lucky if I've found three different games on sales.

For more interest in board games:
https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly <-- Humble Bundle Weekly has a couple of digital board games and is ongoing for another four days.

International Tabletop Day (random thing that Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day came up with that retailers are using to sell games) is today, so there are a lot of sales at:
CoolStuff Inc
CardHaus
Amazon Deals of the Day
Board Game Warehouse


Amazon has free shipping at $35+ (or Prime), CSI & BGW have free shipping at $100+, and CardHaus has free shipping at $125+.

[Dracos]

Interesting.

[Merc]

I don't know if anybody in SR is interested, but I have some keys to the Heroes of the Storm closed beta (four of them).

If you're interested, send me a PM on the board or IRC (IRC preferably).
