Yaaaay!

now including the wonderful gratuitous space battles:

which is amazing and we really need to arrange multiplayer games of.

I hope it is wonderful and amazing.
I put off buying this because I know that some of the games I'll get fed up quite easily, and because of there being no EFF this time around.

Yeah I was going to mention to lack of EFF but decided not to to avoid tingeing the thread with negativity.

Way to go Zetetic!

Bugger. In that case: GSB is quite fun. More fun than I was expecting I'd have without any context.

Jamestown is a great game. I didn't know that I wanted to play something like that, but it turns out I needed too. I suppose it's nothing particularly novel, but it doesn't feel like it does anything wrong. I look forward to co-op when I can recruit someone...

I think GSB really comes into it's own with the ship design mechanic which early on can be done pretty effectively with as many weapons as you can fit but really begins to demand more in depth design as you progress.

If you pay over the average price (or did when you bought it), you know get the Humble Bundle 3 thrown in.

Dark Sky

That's what tipped me over into finally bothering to get it.  And lots and lots of Steam keys!  Yaytimes!
