pops117: Done! You should receive a Mail now ;)
Once again, thanks! I've sent an e-mail for you regarding the repayment. :)
I've got 71 cents in my bank until Wednesday other wise I'd be all over those Penumbra and AI Wars deals.

Might not be able to hit them up Wednesday either as I've booked The Orange Box seeing how I just found an online store selling it for only $35 NZD (usually goes for $50 - if you can find it at all). I'd do the Steam thing but when we're talking that many gigs, I like to have a hard copy.

The problem is, depending on when that copy was mastered, you'll probably have to redownload the whole lot anyway as pretty much all the games in the OB have had a significant number of patches causing them to differ almost entirely from their original DVD versions.

A better bet may be to wait until the OB is sold dirt cheap on Steam (likely to happen at the end of the year at the very latest) and get the updated files from someone near you -- either from a friend or perhaps a GOG community member in the same country as you who can burn a backup of fully updated copies of the games to discs (using Steam's back up tool) so that you can then install from those.

Thanks for the advice. Hopefully it's not to far out of date. I think these are the most recent hard copies. Mighty Ape had sold out of the Orange Box for the longest time and now it's back. I'm assuming that the really old stuff has been depleted.
I wonder why i cant buy Black Mirror from gamersgate, because im not from the us, but there site shows prices both for the uk and eu ???
A disappointing conclusion to the Civilization 5 saga:

Hello

We write to you because you have made a purchase of our Civilization 5 Download game. Unfortunately there was a price error on this product causing it to be shown at an obviously faulty price. The company that supplies us with the download games only supply a certain number of codes. Unfortunately this means we are unable to cover all the orders with the supply of cdkeys we can get from the supplier. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will naturally issue you a full refund. Furthermore we will give you 3 Coolshop points (a value of £3) as compensation.

We thank you for your custom, and look forward to seeing you in our shop again.

Kind regards

Coolshop

Same here if I click on it i receive this message Only available in North America. (not a big problem for me since I already have mine on cd but it's weird, maybe they will fix it)

jlg6184: Anyone played Numen? Curious if it is worth it... (limited gaming funds, so I tend to be stingy, even on cheap games...)

carnival73: I've played an half hour of it (been busy reinstalling and defragging all day after my recent format.) and from that half hour I would have to say that it's well worth $2 USD.

Picture Gothic (vast non linear 3D world) but with Diablo-style battle controls (click on enemy and your character starts auto attacking until death.). You steer your character with the W key to move him forward the mouse with right button held down to turn him around (might be a bit sloppy to program to a gamepad if you're like me and program most your games to be played with a dual analogue controller.).

At the beginning of the game you've got different tutor's that train you for different forms of combat like ranged with bow or spells with magic or melee with weapons just like Gothic II.

You learn different battle manuevers and spells which are hot keyed to 1-9 (I'm not sure if you can use them any other way other than clicking icons at the bottom of the screen because this is a bit wonky).

You pick up, equip and trade lots of items that enemies drop if your leveled high enough to use the items (much like Diablo).
Alright, thanks for the detailed post, as it sounds like a decent game. I'm gonna have to check out my paypal, and see what I got to work with.
