SHADOW MAN!
Loved that game back in the day!
A different bundle every day for the next 2 weeks.
This means I need to figure out which games I already own. That's a lot of work. :(
I was so smart 6 months ago.

I already have today's bundle (and all still unplayed :p).
Hope some of the bundles are Android/mobile bundles. Some stuff I missed out on in the past that I wouldn't mind having and it's nice having a bunch of games available in their app.
Today I see NOT one NEW bundle, BUT two of them..
a 24 hour bundle of three games in an all brand new bundle...
BUTTT a NEW mega bundle of Doctor Who comics!!!
Got the first bundle. I agree, this current "bundle" is a joke.
Got an s5 yesterday so I hope a mobile bundle pops up! I leave for Asia Saturday so the sooner the better!
I've got an iPhone 5S, so no mobile bundle for me :( I don't game much on my phone anyway. Seems like all the games that get a bunch of buzz fall flat for me. Hitman Go got a bunch of praise, but damn is that game simple. Device 6 was lauded over, but I could stay with that for more than 15 minutes. Threes is pretty good though.
Tag, first time to Asia? I'd love to go some time. I have a good friend that is from Taiwan. I need to make it over there some time.
Going for work to meet customers in Japan, Korea and Thailand. Its a sales call so I'm expecting a fun and memorial time. :)
Its my 3rd time but my first time for work, which is nice because I have a private driver and all expenses are covered. If you go, I would recommend taking a month off and touring multiple countries. Just be careful in Thailand!
Only thing I know about Thailand is its where creepy old white dudes go...
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?
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.
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.
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.
