Been holding off, but I think it's now time for me to buy Worms WMD. Thanks for the heads up Liam.

Humble Store has [Hard West](https://www.humblebundle.com/store/hard-west) (Steam key) at 70% discount.

Oh, and I'm currently debating whether I should get [Downward](http://store.steampowered.com/app/506900/Downward/) early access game on Steam, currently 30% discount.

[Alien Isolation](http://store.steampowered.com/app/214490/Alien_Isolation/) is also on sale (75% off, 9,24€ here in Italy) for two days!

I bought this only after seeing Sin's livestream, so story is spoiled but at least I got to know the game and the Alien universe.

Thanks to the GOL community for the brave livestream and Feral for the game!

Axiom Verge is also on sale for 50%, http://store.steampowered.com/app/332200/Axiom_Verge/

I got the Humble Positive Bundle for Curious Expedition, that game seems to never go down very much in price, so 10 dollars for it is sort of a bargain.

And it is really good! Very captivating, easy to play in short bursts, a great story machine - I am currently exploring with an all female team led by Marie Kingsley, we are pacifist, but our translator has developed a bad case of pyromania and sets stuff on fire all the time. The art and music are great. Reminds me of FTL but with more narrative and depth.

The developer seems very nice too, recently there was a big update adding arctic areas and some new mechanics, and that is included in the base game, they don't charge for it or anything, which seems nice. And yeah, linux support just works, no tweaking no nothing needed.

And oh, if anyone wants any of the games in the positive bundle but can't pay, PM, I have steam keys to gift. I want to keep Underrail despite being Windows only (it works in wine, and I am interested in trying it out) but the rest I do not care about.

Yes, my purchase of the (full) Humble Positive Bundle was due to wanting to try out Curious Expedition. That game was the main influence for me, but the others (for Linux) also helped. Even Underrail, which I too would like to try under WINE.

Tempted by the new tinyBuild bundle, mainly for "The Final Station" game... but I own some of that bundle already (well the Linux titles that appeal to me). So, I haven't jumped on that one yet.

So how are you liking the expedition? I just lost on the 6th map, mauled by giant crab, after being seriously ravaged by rampant alcoholism and pyromania ^__^' I could not enter any event without the place being mysteriously on fire afterwards! Also, everyone rebelled when the whisky ran out. It was fun anyhow! Will try again with a new explorer.

Today i saw DiRT Rally in the weekend deal http://store.steampowered.com/app/310560/DiRT_Rally/

Well, there's a few things to note. I'm not 'just' playing Curious Expedition. Just recently been playing lots of '7 Days To Die' early access game, and finding that is very addictive. (Plus other stuff.)

In 'The Curious Expedition' I've tried out 2 characters, and played one of those until I died (approx 3-4 expeditions) and then switched to another character - a brand new game, and I've done about 6 expeditions with that one. The very last expedition - I didn't think I was going to make it. Two of my party had turned into Abominations, with cannibalistic tendencies. By the end of that game, everyone was dead apart from the Main Character, who had eaten the Mount as a last resort instead of starvation.

Played about 2-3 hours so far, and it isn't quite satisfying my gaming needs - rogue-like, exploration, survival - where FTL (Faster Than Light) does succeed. I think one of my issues with T.C.E. is that it throws completely random events at you, and many of them you can't react or counter, so you just have to suffer the consequences. Let's just say I'm probably going to have to go further and further in the game and see how it develops.
