This new bundle is a joke too. Gotta pony up $15 for the game, everything else is DLC or an art pack. I'm not liking where Humble is going with this stuff.

Thailand is a pretty awesome place and I had a blast there. The sex industry is rampent but avoidable if you don't act like a total tourist. you need to watch out for scammers and especially tuk-tuks. Have your places planed out before hand, AND NEVER LET A LOCAL YOU DON'T KNOW CONVINCE YOU TO GO SOME WHERE ELSE...IT IS A SCAM.

My wife is Asian and tans easily, so i rarely got told anything since most Thais thought I was "already taken" and renting my wife for the week.

EDIT: And the humble bundle looks like ***. WTH?

AS THE WEBSITE SAYS:

Please note: The Banner Saga: Factions is a standalone, free-to-play game. The Banner Saga is not required in order to enjoy the these two DLC packs.

They also added a weekly bundle which is REALLY solid. For me though I gave too many of those games from previous bundles to make it a purchase of the games I do not have.

I know. Factions was out almost a year before Saga. Saga is the good stuff. Add-on packs for a F2P game, an art pack, and having to pay $15 to "unlock" the real game (the one everyone talks about) is a quite lame bundle.

My wife tans really dark like the northern thai girls so your results may vary.

I would not waste time with the scammers in Thailand. They do this for a living and they have home court advantage in a foreign land. There is also an entire network that works together to funnel people to rip off shopping areas.

The biggest thing to remember is that NO ONE YOU MEET ON THE STREET IS TRYING TO HELP YOU. This includes street markets and street restaurants. They will act like the friendliest people on earth and will be oh so helpful by suggestion "other" temples you can visit and "great" places to shop. Its a trick to disarm you and get you to go to tourist traps. Grab a copy of lonely planet and mark up your spots beforehand.

Some of the bundles are making lame choices, but on the other hand I'm really digging the books/comics being added in to the mix.

Good to see you pop in. Too quiet here with you busy doing RL or whatever.

I think I'd have to work my way up to Thailand. Maybe start with something easy like Japan or Taiwan. I've heard you can take tourist trips to North Korea (a guy from Giantbomb went there last year and they made a special about it, was pretty interesting.) I'd say the worst tourist trap I've ever been to was Belize. I was offered cocaine almost immediately and a dude with a snake around his neck asked me if I like "raw" women. I was only 16 at the time, so I ran back to the group and tried to stay in the middle. We pretty much left the dock, walked two blocks, turned around, and went back to the dock. :)

I haven't gotten into digital books/comic yet. I read a few books on the iPad and one on the Kindle and didn't care for it as much. For comics, the screen can not replace the look of a quality printed work. I read all the Sandman comics in the nice hardbound version. I don't think it would be the same on a screen. I didn't realize there were so many Walking Dead comics, but I've heard they aren't nearly as good story-wise as the video games.

Nice to see there are still some people here. Sad to see the numbers dwindle. Wonder if the admin can send out a mass email and tell everyone to check in haha.

Great bundle today. I already have all the games I want in it, but I picked it up for the sound tracks. Great collection there.

For what it's worth, the game gets more difficult and more complex as you go on.

I bought the comic book Humble Bundle and really love it.

Another solid rebundle today although the price to get all the games went up a few bucks.

I played about 1-2 hours and found it repetitive and not very engaging. It is fine as a mobile game, but I have a hard time getting into mobile games due to, what seems to be, their intrinsic shallowness.

Single game bundle today, BUTT you can get it in a three pack for 8 bucks.
