Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 So, it appears as though JV/Steam have decided to lump all of Spiderweb's games (that is, those that are available on Steam - A4-6, G1-5, A:EftP, Avadon and N:R) into one easy-to-buy bundle, and all for the low price of £29.99 - that's a huge saving on the price of some pretty awesome games. The games do seem to be Windows only (at least, that's what I can infer), but if you didn't manage to get any games during SW's November Sadness Sale, here's a great opportunity to wait until the steam christmas sale to get them even cheaper get them on the cheap now.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 For those of you stateside, that's $39.99. I'll let Dinti figure it out in Canuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Most of the games are Windows-only on Steam, but Avadon and A:EftP are Windows and Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Isn't our dollar worth more? . . . . . . . Yes it is. Great Scott, you're right! The rate went from about 90¢ the last time I visited, to $1.01 now! I should send in my citizenship documentation and move right away. But wait... the Aussie's made it to $1.05! If only I had citizenship there, also. (Edit: I don't want to hear about the Euro, Aran.) VCH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 These days, you should count yourself lucky if your national monetary instrument is looking any better than the unsellable trowel.

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Aww, but I'd like a system of exchange based on unsellable trowels, aka Liliths/Thuryls/LRTDeMs. You hand a one-Lilith bill to the cashier and get four Thuryls in exchange. Then you put one into a vending machine and, in addition to your drink, out pops your change: two LRTDeMs. That's how the economy ought to work.

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Banknotes are at least stackable. Coins aren't, especially in the UK. Even 10p seems to take up a full slot in my pocket, and if I have to carry more than a few £, I can't cast spells.

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Banknotes are all going plastic now. Australia boldly led the way. Canada is following. Euros will likely turn plastic soon, as one of those heavy-handed central decisions that Europeans have come to expect and accept. The US will probably stick with paper for a long time, but I look forward to ferocious invective from libertarians and their ilk about how replacing the inherent monetary value of PAPER with cheap artificial material made from foreign oil will inevitably drag the country back into the stone age, or worse, make it just like Europe.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'm a big fan of one dollar coins. It's the nerd in me. I would also be a lot more comfortable trading something with actual, rather than representative, value, but I understand that's a lot to ask for. The bigger issue at the moment is how SoT can reach 6,000 posts without a milestone thread, like it's no big deal. nikki. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 In a context like this, it would be too costly to help you make a pun (though puns are being devalued around here). You really shouldn't go trowelling for puns; it could lead to inflated post-counts or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yeah, I dunno. The early 6000s are slim pickings for cool numbers, I must say. Most of them, you have to go to Wikipedia to figure out what's so special about that particular kind of prime or heptagonal number or whatever. That's like having to look up the punchline of a joke. Enjoy your fun little numbers while you can, kids. Once you get to my post count, there's nothing to look forward to but dentures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 6660 is ten times worse.
