The humble bundle 3 is back and I haven't taken a bite till now. I liked COGS from the video reviews I have seen and it looks like your sliding block puzzler with some good thoughts added to make it feel less repetitive.
Well , while browsing the indiegame forums I chanced upon Bastion which looks awesome from the artwork. Pity its only on Xbox now. Hoping they would finish the PC port soon on it.
Browsing the sites linking the humble bundle 3 reviews , i saw a video review of COGS by a developer : Wolfire.The videos in his youtube seemed exciting mainly due to the way he focuses on explaining the research/ work behind it. Some of the videos didn't make any sense to me since I am a complete newb when it comes to game engines or lets say anything related to software development ( pity I am a software tester).
Indie games I have : TRINE , Jack Claw , Shadowgrounds ( All with the Humble Bundle 2) ,World of Goo

What have I been upto
I just hate to push myself to do anything. Even to get into a car and drive?- Yeah. It took me 9 months to drive a car after coming to US. Primary reason : Office is 10 minutes walk and I claim that as the 10 min morning exercise.
Weekend came and it was a small 5 min walk to Avis. It took me more time to get into a shoes than Patricia, the receptionist-cum-caretaker, to give me the keys. Thanks Avis.
Next came finding the car. I absolutely didn't hear a thing when she told me the make and model of the car. And what do I do - I press the red button on the car key which signalled the car ( a KIA Forte ) and in starts the alarm. Found the car , got into it , released the hand brake and then I drove. It felt like its been a while since I drove ( well , two months since I drove that sports edition Charger in Minneapolis ). But cruising along Polaris in that Forte felt good.
Weather in Columbus is horrible as ever - 93 F with the humidity kills you.

Portal 2
The wait paid off ( Hope so) and Steam slashed prices on Portal 2 by 50% and I took the bite @ 24.99. Couldn't resist clicking on purchase when I saw it. I had missed it twice with the Amazon & Gamestop deals early June.
Steam servers are slammed and its evident from the 4 hr long download of 10Gb. :(

BRINK DLC
BRINK , the First person shooter from SD which has gone under the bus for many a reasons will be in discussion for the next couple of days as well ( though the community surrounding it is dwindling) .
The recent post from badman with the details of the DLC points out that the game is FREE , but for two weeks ; which doesn't sound like the way it was announced first time around.
Suggestion for SplashDamage : Get out of Bethesda's hands. They are ruining it for you .
