IndieBox

https://www.theindiebox.com/

i got a 6 month subscription to this. 1st one arrived a day or 2 ago

every month you get a new mystery indie game in a nice box drm free on its own usb “cartrige”(kinda like a credit card with the usb plug flipping out) for win/mac/linux and from june onwards all games that are also on steam will include a steam key. junes orders are done so july is the next one available if anyone finds this kinda thing interesting. the products priced right imho but the postage is almost as much as the product :( and USPS takes ages to get here i hate waiting for packages from overseas

Battlefield 3 - On the house

Battlefied 3 appears to be FREE for a short time.

https://www.origin.com/en-au/store/free-games/on-the-house

Having played and owned it, I highly suggest you DO NOT GET THIS GAME. It represents all that is evil in PC gaming.

If you do not heed my advice, I suspect you will end up in the same situation as me… owning BF3, but owning none of the $30+ expansion packs, and thus be unable to play on any kind of useful server.

Also the game sucks.

You have been warned. In fact I probably shouldn’t have posted this blog….

Deleting in 3…. 2…. 1…

DIRTY BOMB is Back... Litterally!

Yep, the stupids who changed the name to “extraction” have changed it back!

maybe they realised the name was stupid.. or they just got sick of my rants about “paying for a DB T-Shirt and it better SAY DB not Extraction!”

either way… its a good move! looking forward to a new SD game!

Planetary annihilation on sale till the 26th may and rust rebooting

Planetary annihilation($30): http://store.steampowered.com/app/233250/
sale is on till the 26th of may
they just added the 1st pass of singleplayer its not that great but meh this game isnt really about singleplayer.theres a few IPX guys with copies now too

http://playrust.com/friday-devblog-9/

looks like instead of improving what they have now the rust guys are going to go and redo most of the code and assets. alot of us lost interest in rust in past month or so who knows rebooting might bring the fun back either way i think i definitely got my moneys worth and will visit it again closer to release

also quoting the blog entry:

“Yes there’s no actual benefit to rubbing mud all over your cock and balls. But maybe you want to do that”

WHERE DO I SIGN UP!!! oh right i just opt into the experimental branch i wonder if theres any servers to see the progress

EDIT: branch shows no servers for me looks like it isnt setting up steam integration right atm

Fistful of Frags

About 6 IPXers played this one for some western mayhem last night:

Free game, good fun, fair bit of shenanigans. Download and install if you want to be ready for the next one.

Special thanks to Robag for his heroic server creation efforts.

See y’all next time!

Dead Island Epidemic?

Hello fellow zombie bashers. A couple of Dead Island Epidemic beta gifts showed up in my steam inventory. If anyone is interested let me know.

Looks like it could be a bit of a laugh. Hopefully they ironed out some of the bugs from the dead island games! further info can be found at http://www.deadislandepidemic.com/

also anyone watching this http://www.wolfenstein.com ? must admit after the last release I’m pretty skeptical….
