The Whores of Bundalon

Open

Recently I have found myself looking for a word to describe games that appears time and time again in Bundles. Now sure you can expect over time when you buy a lot of bundles to get the occasional repeats but some games pop up time and time again.

I call these games "The Whores of Bundalon"

My personal picks are:

A Valley Without Wind
Battlepaths
Clickr
Gun Monkeys
Insecticide Part 1
Rush Bros
Litil Divil

Now there may be others that have actually appeared more but these are the ones that I always particularly notice when they show up

What games are your "Whores of Bundalon?"

Yep, they often seem to pop up in bundles. Helped by the fact the dev runs one of the bundle sites, albeit a smaller bundle site (Daily Indie Game).

A couple more honourable mentions: King's Bounty games, although I haven't seen them for a while.

Also, Betrayer - I've given it away 3 times and have around another 5 keys for it as it's been in quite a few. I also noticed it because I remember being surprised the first time it was bundled - lots of people I knew still wanted and would have paid more than bundle price I feel.

Valley 2 is actually a great game though despite being bundled to oblivion.

Valley 1 > Valley 2 (from what I've heard, I only played the first one)

Afaik, you can't get one without the other anyway, as only steam keys for "A Valley Without Wind 1 and 2 Dual Pack" exist.
So shouldn't be too hard to try both and see which one you prefer ;)

I also think the award for the Whoreist "AAA" Game for me goes to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series.

Battlepaths, oh f*cking game, you always find the way back to my spares list after I think I got rid of the last key.
Also Blue Rose is becoming one of these things I constantly have a couple of keys around.

World of Goo appeared a lot back at the start of bundles but now I think a bundle containing it would actually benefit from its inclusion

Lilly&Sasha, and yes I know there's more then 1, I'm refering to all of them that've come out so far.

I've seen both at least 3 times each, and I've been Buying bundles for less then 6 months.

Before all the new Bundle Sites I was a "Steam Whore". T.T

Well I'm sure lots of people would at least give him a handy if that Complete Journey deal where the price decreased up to 90 % if you own all 3 seperate games ever came back. :D (There might have additionally been a price glitch involved. Can't tell since I missed it)

Yeah I got the game awhile back ~~after sucking Gaben's dick~~ er... that is... on a Daily Deal for 70% off, much like it is right now on the Humble Bundle store.

That A-hole would'nt let me buy any "Gift" copies like I can on HB though.

Man, I envy you. I'm poor too, but I wish I could put my money in Bitcoins, but I've never heard of how to do it!

I mean, don't you have to buy a "Whole" bitcoin? Are there "Bitpenny's" or something?

Last time I checked, the price of Bitcoins was over $250 USD.

faucets xD u creat a bitcoin wallet and find a few faucets that actually pay xD so all u need to do is go there from time to time get a few and at end of week usually they send to your wallet... i manage to get 1 dollar each 5 to 6 weeks using 2 faucets and i'm at work so i dont go there so often

I'm not even thinking of making money, It's the fact that the Value of the Bitcoin continues to Rise.

If I had been able to buy 1 Bitcoin 10 years ago, when it was like $80, it'd be worth more then 300% more then when I bought it.

That sounds like a Pretty decent longterm investment IMO.

oh! and I have no idea what faucets are, but more power to you if you've found a way to enter the Bitcoin Market.
