Fine work as always mate, and a real boon to this thread!

Indeed, one of the most valuable contribution at this thread.

Thanks, Pidgeot
Why the "add to cart" button is so dark?

I have a script running on my Raspberry Pi, and it will check for new deals every 30 seconds after a deal expires - once it sees something new, it waits for the next deals to expire.

The complete log can be found at http://birdiesoft.dk/summersale.php for those who just want to catch up.

I'm not going to post manual updates in the thread, but you're welcome to use this (Sinistar already is)

I attached a small screenshot of the bot, just for fun :)
Nicely done!
Now just wondering if flash sales are one and done or will rotate at least once.

Considering new games show up every 36 minutes, it will take approximately 3 days to go through the entire catalog, and even then, not all games are part of the sales.

Since the sale doesn't end until June 30, it's highly likely they'll repeat multiple times (if the entire catalog was part of the flash sales, there would be enough time for about 5½ rounds - and some games aren't, so we'll likely see each game more times than that).

It only shows the price if I hover the mouse on it, and still dark.
Fingers crossed some of my wishlist shows up in this sale, and that Sir shows up again...

In the meantime, grabbing Oddword because why not.
Yay Conquistador in about thirty minutes or so!
Expeditions Conquistador, Ittle Dew, Back to the Future the Game, Deus Ex Invisible War, Tales of Monkey Island & The Real Texas on their marks in 30 minutes!

Yeah, something is certainly wrong. I don't have to mouse on it to see the price :D

That is strange. Wonder if it's a browser issue? I'm using Chrome

Wurzelkraft: Is Ether One worth a try for that price tag?
I'm wondering the same, and also about Consortium, but I guess this thread is too busy and too full of excitement for us to hope for an answer to such questions. :)

What I've read is that both games are rather short (about 4 hours?) which in my book is a good thing as that increases the probability that I'd actually play through them soon. And I read that the puzzles in Ether One get challenging but you don't need to solve all of them to go on with the story, which is supposed to be moving. In one review someone compared it to Bioshock - I think in terms of graphics? - and that made me curious, too.

Well, guess probably is my browser's fault them..

Personally, I'd say 'Hell Yeah!' If you like Myst type exploration and puzzles grab it at an absolute bargain.
