Kingdom Rush Origins to release October 18th, Linux support confirmed for release

Have to also agree on the difficulty level. Loved the first game but the second got too hard too quickly and I gave up I'm afraid to say. I don't see a problem with having difficulty levels for the casuals like me, couldn't be that hard to implement.

Quoting: WorMzyI have been playing:
Streets of Rogue - nearly unlocked all characters now. Very fun game, although the cop lock down mutator is annoying, I always get it when I'm trying to be pacifist. :/

I have only been playing Streets of Rogue, I'm finding it incredibly addictive I stopped halfway through DOOM (2016) to try it and haven't been back!

I've only got the Wolf and the Gangster to unlock now, the Ninja took me the longest. I've disabled about half of the disaster mutators but have kept the cop lockdown. Anyway, I've spent enough time nattering, I must get back to it :D

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen - Tactical Legacy Pack announced, bridges the gap between XCOM and XCOM 2

Quoting: Philadelphus
Quoting: fabertaweI so nearly bought XCOM 2 and War of the Chosen in the last sale but have such a backlog of games I put it off. Looks like I'll miss the free expansion now.
It looks like if you pick up XCOM 2 and War of the Chosen before December 3rd you'll still get this expansion for free? I'm not 100% sure but that's what it seems to be saying.

Yes but not on sale ;)

I'm currently addicted to this. I don't have too much of a clue what's going on though! And now all this new stuff's added

I've found it quite hard to get through more than a few levels at a time but I'm putting that down to me being too gung-ho and not patient enough. Just unlocked the vampire and that was fun. Glad the dev added being able to bite when your health's full :D

I so nearly bought XCOM 2 and War of the Chosen in the last sale but have such a backlog of games I put it off. Looks like I'll miss the free expansion now. I'm currently fiendishly hooked on Streets Of Rougue against my will anyway!

So much choice, so little time

Quoting: buenaventurasteamtrades is always an option for leftover games!

How does this work? Is it with gifts in your account and/or keys you've never used?

Hey! you just dont redeem the keys, and the I put up them on my "have" on steamtrades.com , and then when you trade you click "gift to a friend -> make a link" (on humblebundle) and give them the link. The person with the most +rep gets their keys first, and then you get yours. You connect your steam profile on that site, works well! Here is my page:

https://www.steamtrades.com/trade/JQfAp/h-humble-steam-keys-and-rps-steam-keys-w-linux-games

I've gotten so many fun games for all those windoz keys I have been hoarding since the beginning of humble bundle :P You can also just search for people who have one of your keys in their "want", and then look at their have and pick and choose!

Thanks for the info, I shall look into it. I shall have to trawl through all my humble bundles now!

Quoting: FaattoriIn my dreams, "Working with fire and steel" is Shadow of the Tomb Raider and "Aurora" is Hitman™ 2.

I'd take both of those, thank you very much! Otherwise I've no idea.

Off topic - re: nudity...

I don't know which game(s) anyone is referring to and I probably wouldn't be interested anyway but I have to chuckle at the outrage to nudity when no one bats an eyelid at the gore, mutilation and violence in so many games (which I like playing btw!).
