Humble Store Winter Sale

Thank goodness the festive season is over. That Steam Winter Sale breathed down my neck for the entire duration, which got so annoying after a while that I ended up buying games just to have some peace! Seems I’ll never get to play any of them however, because there’s another menace roaming about…

And they’re peddling the same goods – cheap games, perfectly shaped to sit comfortably atop a mile high backlog. Dammit Humble Store, I don’t want any of your damn discounted titles!

Oh, 10% of whatever I spend will go to charity called Child’s Play? Well, if it’s for a good cause, then…Oh I suppose buying something won’t do any harm. Give me a moment alright? Let me go grab my credit card quickly.

Now, what do you have on offer? What could you recommend to a humble gamer such as myself?

The Humble Store Winter Sale started this past weekend, and will be running all the way through to next week Thursday. There are new specials every day, so be sure to bookmark their home page (or subscribe to their newsletter) and check the specials regularly. Even with the Rand in its current state, there are still some pretty sweet deals to be found!

    Those dollar prices really screw us over now. I got Wolfenstein for R90 on Steam, Humble’s would cost me R150.

          He corrects spelling all the time, there is no estimations or rounding in Admiral’s world. There is only precision.
          Well, at least when he’s online ;P

          Wait… why does steam say you have 585 games? I hope that includes your DLC

            That’s what happens when you go crazy with indie bundles, they add up quickly.

            One of the first things I bought on Steam was the id superpack, gave me 20-odd games heh.

            LOL! I saw that on your list… you’ve got tons of nostalgia on your games list

          I bought ARK two sales ago, only really started playing it this month because I bought it for a friend of mine and now I don’t have to play alone anymore.

    If the Rand Dollar exchange rate keeps going as it is, we might need to plunder the treasury for funds…

      I can death lift double my body weight, but if the rand continues to free fall we’ll be able to pick up enough money from the treasury.

      Waiting for that R500.00 to be printed, no more randellas more like Zumarand

    Still great deals though. 😀
