Broke the ice. Bit on State of Decay and Lifeline DLC. Mostly so I can BS about it at work with my buddy.

Woo, just got a foil card. Only $0.55 though.

It was buggy on XBone, so I don't know if they patched it up.

Aquanox Pack (1+2) for 92% off ($0.64). Or 90% off ($0.79) if you want to pay with GMG credit.

Not sure if it is any good, or even what type of game it is... but it was +2 games on Steam, and I had a couple bucks from Playfire rewards (randomly given when I played stuff).

I bit on the Saint's Row IV deal. $7.49 for the ultimate edition was too good to pass up. Especially since I used some funbux to buy it.

Michigan's passing a law requiring retailers to charge sales tax even if they don't have a physical presence Store, I guess.

Not sure when it would occur, or if it will be challenged as illegal (Congress, Interstate Commerce, I guess). Or if it will apply to digital goods (I haven't bothered reading into it in too much depth). But a 6% sales tax on Steam and Amazon will suck. Not sure what will happen with the various bundle sites, as many of them aren't US companies.

Battlefield 3 is 99¢ in case you need to +1 your Origin account.

The state has a Use Law which requires items brought in from out of state to have their tax value levied. This is usually left to the user who, naturally, ignores it. Some companies may charge it as a matter of course, most use it as a competitive advantage.

Illinois started requiring people to report it but allows an assumed value of $250 which is a fraction of what the wife and I actually buy from out of state in a year. They're just happy to get the tax off the $250.

All of Indie Gala's bundles are currently 1 dollar for a special Holiday pricing. Lasts for 2 days.

Yes, because it would be in their interest to do so.

Bundle Stars gave me a free copy of some Penguin game.

Just randomly, emailed me the Key for being a customer. So you guys might want to check your Bundle Stars email account.

Free game is free, regardless of what it actually is.


Also, GMG gave me a copy of Sanctum. If anyone is interested, just post here or PM me.

I was excited because I saw an email from GameAgent that they were having a sale on the LEGO Star Wars games.

But then I checked it and it was Mac-Only, Non-Steam. Very disappointing.

I can only hope that now that Disney has embraced Steam that they may offer the other Non-WB LEGO games on sale sometime soon. They did a slight sale with the PotC version on the day they celebrated it.
