Brentai came through for me on his offer, and now I've got a Steam code for Bastion I don't need.  If anyone wants it, just ask.

EDIT: Someone pounced on it three minutes later.

I wanted to say this is first time in my life that I've legally owned an RTS, but I guess my tester copy of Heroes of Mana counts.

THQ needs to quit adding shit, though.  Not because I mind the unrequested expansion of my backlog, but because it's digging them a deeper hole for what SHOULD come next.  What SHOULD come next is that they actually take some of the cash injection they've recieved and put a team to work making some non-Steam, Linux and Mac backports.  This is important for HB of course - they dumped the DRM requirement this time most likely because THQ was the only publisher desperate enough to try this crazy stunt, and exactly because they were so desperate they really had no resources to accede to the usual demands.  Fair enough, kind of.  If the devs can be convinced to go and play ball now that they actually can, it will put Bundle in a position next time to actually approach a major developer with the Humble condition, and if they can do that it more than makes up for a temporary lapse in standards in my (not too important since I bought the thing anyway) opinion.

But it's important for THQ too, and well worth footing the bill.  The company's got two legacies it can choose moving forward: Those Pioneers of the New Digital Economy, or Those Desperate Losers who had to Hold a Firesale to Survive.  Which banner they pick up and move forward with depends entirely on what they choose to do with their apparent success.

Metro 2033 is free now, in case a dollar was too steep for you.

On the flipside, Amazon had Red Faction: Armageddon for the PC marked down to 5 bucks earlier today and sold out within 10 minutes.  Methinks the Bundle has some advertising issues.

I kind of already own the only interesting thing in there.

Also is there an actual retail package involved or is that just a really disingenuous name for something distributed digitally?

Meanwhile, proving that 140% of 0 is still 0, THQ files for bankruptcy.

Chapter 11, though, meaning they could still come back.

They're apparently auctioning off licenses, so whatever rises from the ashes of THQ won't really be THQ anymore.  Not that anybody's really going to notice.

They did say they plan on keeping their employees, though. If true, that's good. If not, well, I doubt anyone will actually call them on it.

They're doing new weekly sales.  This week's is Bastion.  I'm thinking of grabbing it; seems like one of those I should study for my own design edification.

Latest bundle has some games I want and some I really, really don't, and I'm not enough of a douche to set the individual sliders to zero.  DILEMMA.
