For the current members who renew their membership through these sales, do you duders not frequently buy items from the GB store? Because this sale is savings of $15 from the normal price, but it doesn't come with a $15 GB store promo credit. And it seems that every year GB releases new members T-shirts that cost $15.
So for me, since I always buy the T shirts, this sale isn't worth it to me.
No, I don't wear clothing with other people's branding on it.
It's getting more difficult to pull the trigger, every time. The on-camera stuff is still good, but everything else has really changed and I refuse to be part of a community (and therefore am not) where I have to constantly walk on eggshells for fear of setting off some weird obsessive trigger that some random individual with powers has.
It used to be, I couldn't imagine a time when I wouldn't bulk-buy subscriptions every chance I ever got. Bought them years in advance. Now, I really have to hem-and-haw over it. Maybe I'll just start rolling a dice and when it stops being favorable, I stop subscribing. :/
Really liked the first episode and haven't touched it since, until this week when I caved and caught up. Despite a lot of things going against the game (including the voice actress, the dialog, the cloying trigger warning/referral on the menu screen), it was pretty great as far as interactive fiction (with a few slight game-ish elements) goes.
Until the very final minute. What a fucking "cover all our bases" let-down. I felt like my choices ultimately meant nothing for the ten hours leading up to the Deus Ex / Mass Effect 3 finale.
Up until that point, I was thinking that anyone who made a top ten list without having played the game would be doing a disservice to the GOTY thing . . . but that very final bit just felt so mechanically unsatisfying that it really tripped off that high spot on the podium that it was about to claim.
