    Have most of them, decent bundle tho.

    Is this the new IGN price or am I just being cynical?
    They did the Humble Freedom Bundle back in February for the same $30 price. They matched $300k to charity then too.

    Vanquish for 9.99euro - https://store.vanquishgame.com/row#/cart
    Fantastic game, story is pretty meh( its ok, not great, but its platinum so action rocks ), but gameplay is sublime if you like action games, very well worth 10euro.

    Sorry for going OT but I remember the extreme dilemma I had in college. The Zip disk was £30. So it was either that or spend it on drink. I had no real need for a Zip Disk as I was doing a humanity course but loved the idea of having so much space.

    TL;DR I wanted a Zip Disk, couldn't justify the cost so kept my floppy and spent the money on booze! :D

    I've used it on a number of occasions and never had a single issue, you'll find a tonne of games at way lower prices there. The first time I ordered, I used a Paypal account that I had forgot was linked to a now defunct email address (and so did not get the code), emailed them about it and they had it resent to me within a half hour. One thing I have heard though is to buy the key and register is immediately, it's what I would do anyway but there have been the odd instances of people buying a key, not using it for months, and finding out CDKeys had resold it when they did go to activate it (e.g. it had already been activated).

    But if you're buying and activating in the one go, from my experience you'll be absolutely fine.

    Zip drives were for rich kids and architects. I used tapes well into the 90's.
    We had toddlers for goalposts and recorded tapes by putting 2 stereo speakers facing each other. SSSh!!!

    Greenmangaming is advertising possibly the most disappointing sale I've ever seen.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    Too bad there isn't one page listing the entire sale at once, bit of a pain to click "View More" all the time
