The Alpha 17 Supplemental

We all deserve something a little nice. So here’s a rough draft preview of the Star to Steer By Alpha 17 supplemental. (Please note, this is unbetaed, subject to change, etc.)

I hope y’all have a good day. <3

~~~~

Alpha 17 was a good soldier. He knew from a very early age that he was good at combat, loved it, and he pushed himself to be the best that the GAR could produce.

He knew some of his brothers thought that made him a bit simple, limited, unambitious.

He didn’t care.

The trainers worried, concerned that he didn’t seem to pick up outside hobbies or interests. He could practically hear ‘there’s more to life than fighting!’ every time he got that look, the doubt screaming in their eyes. He knew that meant another psych eval was in his near future, and it was frustrating because they didn’t get it.

He liked fighting. He liked the simple math, how goal plus obstacle equaled a straightforward picture. He could break that down, take it apart and rearrange the bits for more carnage, less causalities, different outcomes depending on the goal. Some brothers liked painting, or reading, or whatever. Alpha 17 liked taking a battlefield to pieces, and the addition of life’s chaos and unpredictability just made it exciting.

It got worse as he got older, signing up for the ARC program the literal minute he was able to. His batchmates only rolled their eyes a little – they at least didn’t poke at him about it – but everyone else? The whispers just got more annoying.

ARC training was serious business, was he sure he wanted to? ARC training meant learning the ropes for hosting - like that would ever matter - and that didn’t seem to be the kind of thing he’d like. ARC training had a ridiculous wash-out rate, required a steady temperament, often led to a much shorter lifespan, blah blah blah.

ARCs got into the middle of the most interesting shit, were given command and solo missions in equal measure. They didn’t stick to any one thing, historically they were the ones getting shit done, and if there was trouble, they were liable to be at ground zero.

Of course Alpha 17 wanted in on that. So he did something else he was very good at: he kept his head down and worked his shebs off.

Didn’t stop the occasional complaints. He brushed off the ones that he could, went through all the usual psych evals (and the bonus ones too), and kept learning what he could. He trained, he excelled, he fought.

The attitude didn’t stop coming either, but that was no surprise. He might be stubborn, but so was the rest of the GAR. Came with the job description. Not that he took more than he had to, of course. After one instructor complained about excessive casualties, the next exercise he took an absurdly round-about approach which resulted in record low casualties for the sim exercise.

The next day he handed in a complaint against himself about incompetence, excessive caution, and an evaluation about how taking that fucking long would have resulted in a campaign that was far too high in cost, time, and resources.

The instructor quit bitching after that.

Alpha 17 started his ARC training as the youngest in his class. ARC trooper Alpha 17 went into his cryo stint as top graduate of his class, having already had a successful and noteworthy acclimation stint all around the mid- to outer-rim.

*****

Three years after his thaw, Alpha 17 returned from a mission totally-not-exploding some wildly unpleasant slavers’ headquarters to find the usual stack of correspondence waiting for him. He kept his holo-mail down to a screaming minimum as much as possible, because everyone and their classified dog preferred to send secured intel via datapads or datasticks or whatever data-things they could secure to biometrics and ident scans. He grabbed the box for incoming shit and hauled it off to his quarters, because it’d been almost four months away and even he would admit to needing a real godsdamned shower in his own fucking apartment.

He might’ve ignored the pile long enough for a decent meal from the commissary and a few hours of rack time out of sheer spite. When 17 finally sat down to sort it, he wasn’t too surprised that almost a quarter of the pads had the glossy red endcaps indicating highest priority. It took a second glance to register that one of those had further detailing, the Jedi Order’s symbol embossed on the center of the red caps.

That was different. 17 set down the two pads he’d grabbed at random to pick it up instead. The metal shell wasn’t new, but it held few of the dings and scratches any correspondence gained traveling through the courier system. Recently made or rarely used.

“The hell?” he muttered, powering it up. Official Order business of some sort, but what kind of mission could –

17’s brain stalled out as he finally read the simple, clear message.

Simple, clear, and about as unlikely as him sprouting wings and flying to Corellia without a ship. “Potential host.” Nope, sounded even crazier out loud. “Like hell.” He tossed the pad down and slumped back in his chair, staring at the datapad in confusion. How the fuck was he a potential host? What kind of Jedi could he possibly have a match with?

In some kind of vain hope that the message would change to something that made sense given enough time, 17 mechanically went through the rest of his mail. Several innocuous messages regarding hazard pay; five potential missions, two of which had a time window long past; one message rescinding one of the other potential missions; one airworthiness directive and recall about a jetpack model he hated anyways; somehow even more questions about his deposition for the fucking Cato Neimoidia cluster because lawyers were never truly done.

All the usual bullshit, really.

Didn’t change the potential host message, though.

*****

Alpha 17 answered the call, of course. He sent a reply message off, confirmed the trip to Coruscant via the usual GAR channels, and then he tried to lose himself in post-mission paperwork.

It didn’t help that if anything was less likely to occupy his attention, it was paperwork. Even the usual joys of finding new and ridiculous euphemisms for ‘killed a bunch of assholes’ and ‘blew up a lot of shit’ were empty and useless.

The question of what kind of Jedi could possibly consider him a match dogged him all the way to Coruscant, and only got worse when he walked into the changing room with the other two candidates. One was a quiet, well-dressed Zeltron who was the most unassuming being 17 had ever laid eyes on. Short red hair, heading towards middle-age, and 100% unremarkable – he wouldn’t call them “bland,” but he wouldn’t argue the point if someone else did. The other one was an older Wookiee who sauntered in with all the trappings of an AgriCorp member, cheerfully growling observations about everything with an air of nervous excitement.

Sure, he knew the matching was probably on different quadrants, but what the hells could he have in common with these two?

The Jedi deposited on the fourth side of the table was a bit on the small side – maybe fully grown, maybe just younger but with their mature coloring. It was hard to tell with Jedi, even for someone who was good at that kind of thing.

That was not in 17’s skillset.

It was no help whatsoever that the Jedi turned towards 17 first. He felt ridiculous, stretching out his hand like he was inviting someone’s pet to take a whiff, but somehow this was worse than in training. Training meant everyone had to be there, and was going through the motions, but this –

This was the real deal. What the fuck was 17 doing, really applying to be a host?

The Jedi curled around his wrist, warmer than expected. He could feel the faint buzz in his mind of the Jedi’s mental probe – nothing that could be strong enough to read actual thoughts, but enough to give them a decent impression of 17. He had to stifle down a snicker, imagining what it might be like to feel his mind. I like fighting, blowing shit up, and doing my job. Sorry to waste your time, Jedi.

The pulse of amusement – real, and not his – was a bucket of ice down his spine. Shit. Shiiiit, he hoped that hadn’t been somehow broadcast. It probably hadn’t, but that was awkward. Meanwhile, the Jedi let out a quiet hiss, sharing some kind of emotional nudge to pass them along.

It was hard not rubbing at his wrist where the Jedi had been as the other two host-potentials went through the ritual. 17 was sure that some of the discomfort was due to being out of armor, but a quiet part of him wondered about the strange reaction anyways.

Hosting wasn’t a thing. He’d never given the faintest shit about hosting, he just wanted to be an ARC.

He was paying enough attention to do all the bowing and whatever that was called for, but it took the amused chuffing of a Wookiee to pull 17 all the way back to the matter at hand.

Literally at hand; the Jedi was back near his wrist, looking up at him with those four bright eyes and a body posture that might indicate concern.

Wait, WHAT? 17’s head jerked up, and he looked at the other two in the room. The Wookiee was grinning, while the Zeltron was hiding their amusement almost well enough that they just looked a little bored. He couldn’t help but feel that it was intentional that he could read the body language at all. 17 looked back down at the Jedi, who weh-ed at him.

“What are you doing?” 17 asked right back, because there was no way this could be happening. The Jedi scooted a little closer to him, making another hissing noise. With the continued sensation that this could not really be happening, 17 held his hand out to the Jedi.

They sauntered right onto his palm, still giving him that look. Another glance at the other host-potentials confirmed the impossible, but 17 was still slow enough lifting the Jedi that there was plenty of time for someone to declare that this was some ridiculous mistake, or prank, or something.

Nobody said anything as 17 opened his mouth and let the Jedi in. There was that feeling of movement that wasn’t (except it really was), then there was a new voice in 17’s mind.

#Hello there,# the Jedi declared. They sounded male, young, good natured. Not at all like what 17 would have expected. #I’m Obi-Wan Kenobi.#

#Well that’s a mouthful,# 17 couldn’t help but think, bemused and not quite sure what the hell was going on.

There was a sound of muffled laughter, accompanied by something not-really-a-flash to how that was a pun given how the Jedi – Kenobi – had just entered. #From a certain perspective, yes.#

17 smirked, enjoying the feel of a fellow sapient in spite of himself. #Alpha 17. ARC-17017.#

*****

It was always easy to tell the difference between Qui-Gon and Tahl. She moved with thoughtful purpose, feet planted solid on the ground and shoulders aggressively square. Jinn flowed more, confident and feline, certain of himself in a sometimes arrogant way that could piss off even the most serene being, let alone Alpha 17.

He liked and respected them both, more than he or Obi-Wan figured most people understood. He hadn’t expected that, when he’d first met the Jedi and host that were to be Obi-Wan’s – and his, in a sense – primary trainers. He’d resented that at first, not that he’d admit it. He was no youngling, for all that Obi-Wan was a shiny. Obi-Wan also had inherited memories, and since 17 was a well-trained and skilled soldier, they should be good to go in short order.

Then they had their first training session with Obi-Wan’s brand new lightsaber.

The less said about that fiasco, the better.

It took time to learn how everything fit together; 17’s blaster and fighting skills, Obi-Wan’s genuine talent for the lightsaber and acrobatics that thanks to the Force were well outside the normal bounds for a clone, and how the Force integrated with it all.

The first time 17 dodged away from a sparring partner only to reach and yank their legs out from under them, dumping them to the floor several meters away, he’d been stunned. It was one thing to know Jedi – and thus their hosts – could use the Force, it was totally another to see it in action, and it was a far different beast to do that impossibility himself.

He liked it, though. It was interesting to find there was a whole new area and styles of fighting he could apply himself to, and as always he did so with excessive diligence.

With the comforting glee inside his head of a Jedi just as eager to learn, and to fight, he no longer questioned why the hell he’d been the one to host Obi-Wan.

Venom Reading Order Part 12.

I often see it stated that Flash is the most beloved Venom host and I gotta say that.....I have no idea why. Like symbiote love aside, he just seems pretty bland as a character. No growth or personality. Half of his run is way too slowly paced,  dropped plot threads that just stop effecting the story for months at a time, and no interesting side characters to lift the load until like...the last six issues.

It’s not HORRIBLE writing just.....very par. Just, the most okayest run on Venom.

So let’s......get back into this unflavored oatmeal of a series I guess.

Venom #16 (June, 2012) Agent Venom. So Before this I thought Hobgoblin was going to be Flash’s arch what with the scream and the fire sword. And while I’m very happy with Jack O’ Lantern, I do think it’s a missed opportunity to not have Hobgoblin as a bigger part of his enemies. Also Get Dunked On. 2/10 boots licked.

Venom #17 (July, 2012) Agent Venom. Eddie Brock. Toxin Symbiote. Again.......Flash has killed before.....like I’d estimate 10 people at least. Most of whom weren’t nearly as dangerous as who he’s aiming for now....did the writers forget that????

Venom #18 (July, 2012) Agent Venom. I’m-My-Own-Grandpa Toxin who I need to come up with a name for since Toxin is the name of the symbiote/that cop dude. Seems Toxin isn’t handling Pat’s death, his mom trying to kill him, his grandpa trying to kill him, imprisonment, teenage hormones, and never having good or bad explained to them, pretty badly.   2/10 boots licked.

Venom #19 (August, 2012) Agent Venom IMOGrandpa Toxin. This was the issue when I realized Flash himself is just sorta...boring. Very run of the mill, cliche, and not too interesting personality wise. It’s not that brooding hero is a BAD character type per se it’s just....even in 2012 it was already pretty overused. But the characters, concepts, story, and pacing around his character are all very good so it sort of evens out a bit. 2/10 boots licked.

Venom #20 (September, 2012) Agent Venom. IMOGrandpa Toxin small appearance. Again sorry just not meaning to harp but while what I said last issue is true, all the negatives of Flash’s cliched as hell brooding character are highlighted even more by the fact that all the people in danger for him are women. The fact they’re literally his mom, sister, and girlfriend is not exactly cutting edge writing. I see Bunn has jumped in to write for this arc is he just like???? A really unaware cliche writer usually or???

Venom #21 (September, 2012) Agent Venom. IMOGranpa Toxin. An utterly......bland and yet again cliched ending to what I thought was going to be the lead in to another cool crime master arc???? This feels really anti-climactic???? 1/10 boots licked

Venom #22 (October, 2012) Agent Venom. Oh.....Remender’s run is over??? Oh ok. Not exactly the strongest ending but a GOOD one for sure. Think Remender still has issues with keeping a solid theme but it’s made up by pacing. 1/10 boots licked.

Venom #23 (October, 2012) Agent Venom. Here I realize I miss Symb being a character. Least McVenom let me see em from time to time and Venom had one sided convos/was interesting. 5/10 boots licked.

Venom #24 (November, 2012) Agent Venom. Hey Flash Maybe This Is A Metaphor For Something Maybe Daimon Is Pointing Something Out To You Maybe You Need To Rethink What You’re Doing To That Sentient Alien You Desperately Drug Up So You Can Keep Using Its Powers Maybe The Son Of Satan Is Right You Bitch 1/10 boots licked

Venom #25 (November, 2012) Agent Venom. Ok so we are off to an interesting start. The slow pacing and lack of symbiote isn’t promising but the hints of symbiote sympathies does help. Hopefully Flash will gain a personality soon too.  1/10 boots licked

Minimum Carnage Alpha (October, 2012) Carnage, Agent Venom. We really are just not getting Symb for awhile huh? 7/10 boots licked.

Scarlet Spider #10 (October, 2012) Agent Venom. Mini Carnage just runin around doin mini Carnage things I bet his voice is so high pitched right now. 3/10 boots licked.

Venom #26 (December, 2012) Agent Venom. 8/10 boots licked.

Scarlet Spider #11 (November, 2012) Agent Venom, Carnage. “It’s making it insane” ok so you acknowledge it’s not otherwise???? Also what.....the fuck is anyone saying here.

Venom #27 (January, 2013) Agent Venom, Carnage. Ok so the inbred symbiote clones I understand but what I don’t get is how, why, or when the Klyntar invaded the microverse. Maybe the microverse just doesn’t Do It for me. Flash getting bit in the ass for drugging Symb sure does tho.

Minimum Carnage Omega (November, 2012) Agent Venom, Carnage. Mciroverse makes no sense, I hope Katy hooks up with the bug guy even if she’s a bad writer, Bunn can’t decide if the symbiote is evil or not, and Carnage sums up everything on page 15. Also did Cletus grow his dick and also balls back????? Like yeah yeah Scarlet over there just spelled out the symbiote’s lack of control and lobotomized Suddenly Legged Kassady and all but I’m really worried about Cletus dick and balls. 1/10 boots licked.

Venom #27.1 (January, 2013) Agent Venom. I like to think that while Flash is brooding and deciding whether he wants to “let the monster out”, that Symb is just rifling through his brain learning about ball sports. They haven’t quite grasped football yet but they’re getting there.1 /10 boots licked.

Secret Avengers #29 (September, 2012) Agent Venom. Flash just does what he feels like and if he’s upset about it later blames the symbiote PLEASE fucking decide if murder outside of war is bad or not you bitch 9/10 boots licked

Secret Avengers #30 (October, 2012) Agent Venom. Task Master caries the story. 5/10 boots licked.

Secret Avengers #31 (November, 2012) Agent Venom. There’s a panel in here that makes Flash look like an edgy anime character and honestly???????? If they leaned way more into it it’d be GREAT. 5/10 boots licked.

Secret Avengers #32 (December, 2012) Agent Venom. I was literally just thinking about how vague and generic this entity in and then i got to the end and realized what this would eventually inspire and i got a n g r y 7/10 boots licked

Secret Avengers #33 (December, 2012) Agent Venom. I...appreciate Valkerie fighting naked. 7/10 boots licked.

Secret Avengers #34 (January, 2013) Agent Venom. Flash these are not your saving moves anymore their Symb’s you braggart. 3/10 boots licked.

Secret Avengers #35 (February, 2013) Agent Venom. Flash the Avengers are baking you and you don’t even work for the government you can literally just?????? Go chill out on  beach any time you want stop bitching.8/9 boot licked.

Secret Avengers #36 (March, 2013) Agent Venom. It’s not even that these are BAD per se and it’s not even that there so much symbiote hate it’s just that, like....at least in McVenom’s run we had Norman Osborn’s slutty ass front and center puttin on a wild fuckin show. This? It’s just....meh. 5/10 boots licked.

Secret Avengers #37 (April, 2013) Agent Venom. Thank god it’s over. 5/10 boots licked

Venom #28 (February, 2013) Agent Venom. Rip Valkerie’s.......boobs? I think that’s what they are but they could be birthing sacs for all i know. 2/10 boots licked.

Venom #29 (March, 2013) Agent Venom. GET DUNKED ON AGAIN FLASH and oh rip Valkerie’s boobs again and also spine now. 2/10 boots licked.

Venom #30 (March, 2013) Agent Venom, IMOGrandpa Toxin at the end. They keep teasing the symbiote getting to be a character and this demon and then Flash possibly???? Talking to the symbiote and then they just wave at that cool idea and watch as it goes by. 2/10 boots licked

Venom #31 (April, 2013) Agent Venom, IMOGandpa Toxin again at the end. Some humor finally that’s nice!! Symb poking through a bit with that disguise? But what brought on this new philosophy on violence and killing when he couldn’t make up his mind last issue?? 2/10 boots licked.

Thunderbolts #1 (February, 2013) Agent Venom. Ugly art and no answers oh boy this is gonna suck huh? 10/10 boots licked

Thunderbolts #2 (February, 2013) Agent Venom. Still don’t know exactly WHAT this is all about. Or why Flash hates Deadpool for that matter? Also why doesn’t Flash recognize this dude from the fuckin Hell Portal In Las Vegas thing??? If he doesn’t recognize him WHY did he sign up??? 10/10 boots licked.

Thunderbolts #3 (March, 2013) Agent Venom. So far Deadpool is the only enjoyable part of this and even then only sometimes. 10/10 boots licked.

Thunderbolts #4 (April, 2013) Agent Venom. Alright the Trueness of this one caught my interest so you get a lower score for now. 5/10 boots licked

Thunderbolts #5 (April, 2013) Agent Venom. I mean I guess yeah fucking. Gotta have some of that??? You said your ribs were broken you have no thrusting ability or ability to take the pelvic throttling this lady would give and god know 69ing would be painful as shit. This comic is trash please end. 8/10 boots licked.

Thunderbolts #6 (May, 2013) Agent Venom. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh can i at least get some deadpool/agent venom action at the end for having to put up with all of this??? 5/10 boots licked

Thunderbolts #7 (May, 2013) Agent Venom. Oh thank god they got a better artist jesus christ. And hey people are at least like...talking more about shit. Having Captain America tell the CIA to clean up their own messes is........beautiful 4/10 boots licked.

Thunderbolts #8 (June, 2013) Agent Venom. I can’t pretend like this issue wasn’t worth it for Flash in a niqab. 8/10 boots licked.

Thunderbolts #9 (July, 2013) Agent Venom. The same face syndrome is as bad as the boot licking but I’m liking this tinier mister sinister and Flash’s Weird Dream. 8/10 boots licked. 

Thunderbolts #10 (August, 2013) Agent Venom. God is this done yet???? 8/10 boots licked. 

Thunderbolts #11 (August, 2013) Agent Venom. GODDDDD when is Flash gonna get out of this???? There’ more????? I’m chunking this boring shit into one section at a time so yall can skip it. 9/10 boots licked.

Venom #32 (May, 2013) Agent Venom, Eddie Brock. Homeless, killing people who cross him, seeking revenge. Man it’s nice to see some OG Eddie Brock. Damn shame about not having a partner that pulls him back from being TOO crazy, huh?  4/10 boots licked.

Venom #33 (June, 2013) Agent Venom, IMOGToxin. Symb is telling you it’s always there to try and give you support and to not shit on these other AA people you JACKASS. 3/10 boots licked.

Venom #34 (June, 2013) Agent Venom, IMOGToxin. Eddie and the Toxin symbiote now gone through so much shit and self dellusion they’re on a suicide pact together? That, unfortunately, tracks. Also man just....just some hard core projecting from the both of them huh?? 2/10 boots licked.

Venom #35 (July, 2013) Agent Venom, IMOGToxin. Oh man Eddie still cares about the innocents and putting aside his own self ate and righteous fury to protect kids I MISS HIM SO MUCH. Oh and a truce??????????? BLESS. And....ok that’s like the third rapey sounding metaphor used for the creation of IMOGToxin, Bunn you good???

Venom #36 (August, 2013) Agent Venom. GOD ok see this is better. Flash is still on his brooding Bullshit but it’s like once he didn’t have to run military ops any more he started loosening up a bit. 2/10 boots licked.

Venom #37 (September, 2013) Agent Venom. I Want To See MY Special Boy :) 2/10 boots licked

Venom #38 (September, 2013) Agent Venom and....MANIA! See NOW we gettin somewhere with this story! Development! Action! Keep it going! 2/10 boots licked.

Wait that’s....not Jack....And wait did he just threaten to abandon her if she kills a guy????????????????????????? Man FUCK Flash Thompson I’m done with his stupid ass 2/10 boots licked

Venom #40 (November, 2013) Agent Venom, Mania. Hey now’s a good a time as any to ask but whatever happened to that whole demon thing? Did you just drop that or???? Like I’ve already abandoned hope of Flash Thompson as a character ever being a decent person or interesting and I’ve abandoned hope of good writing so imma just fuck around for the rest of his lame ass run. Flash really trying to project his hate for symbiotes onto Andi but I’m glad to see Andi ain’t having it. Can I just read about Mania?????? Please????? 2/10 boots licked

Venom #42 (December, 2013) Agent Venom, Mania. So Symb tricked the devil into.....essentially grafting his curse onto a meal Symb had like six years ago then.....pooped it onto Andi I guess???? I feel like this is a bit over-complicated you coulda just said “Alien souls work differently, it spawned/amputated/whatevs and gave it to Andi” or some shit. Whatever this is just the messy wrap up issue anyways. Shame they waited til the last issue to give Flash half a character trait tho 2/10 boots licked.

Fearless Defenders #9 (November, 2013) Agent Venom. We unfortunately do not get the anime venom the cover might lead you to believe we’d get. 1/10 boots licked

Superior Carnage #1 (September, 2013) Carnage, Agent Venom. Cletus looks so happy lobotomized. I wonder if Red’s playing reruns of his best kills for him while she work on patching him up and breaking him out? 3/10 boots licked.

Thunderbolts #13 (September, 2013) Agent Venom. A new writer starting off with a kick in the teeth and actually making me protective of Flash and invested in the story. 4/10 boots licked.

Thunderbolts #14 (October, 2013) Agent Venom. The writing improves and I actually care about what’s happening on page for once. Flash isn’t a complete tool to Deadpool for literally no reason, for starters. 4/10 boots licked.

Thunderbolts #15 (November, 2013) Agent Venom. Flash really likes being the honey in a honeypot set up huh? That or Symb misses getting to be at all slutty, the poor thing 4/10 boots licked.

Thunderbolts Annual (February, 2014) Agent Venom. Flash confirmed to fuck with Symb on and that fact almost balances out what he does to Valkerie here. Scumminess is only mildly offset by Symb def being a cuddler. 5/10 boots licked.

Humble tinyBuild Bundle releases tons of Linux

So the Humble Team ride again, this time making gaming news with the Humble tinyBuild Bundle. Oh yes indeedy, it's epic due to the abundance of Linux games for almost all of the titles available. tinyBuild Games are well known for releasing a true gaming experience, unique to each of their titles. So from the remastered edition of their original No Time to Explain. Even the alpha and pre-order of Hello Neighbor (Windows only for now). Buyers get a tiny bit of everything tinyBuild. Since that Hello Neighbor is rather decent, but I haven't really experimented with the game via Wine. Since this is an impressive bundle, there are really only two games without Linux support. Which are both Divide By Sheep and Road to Ballhalla, while the rest of the bundle is great. Since No Time to Explain Remastered, ClusterTruck and SpeedRunners most everyone probably already knows about by now. The Final Station is well worth it seeing that gaming has the player working to survive and exploring different towns. While the DLC makes the adventure even bigger, leading your even deeper into the unknown. So then we have Guts and Glory, bloody ridiculous carnage. It's both fun and hilarious. Kind of makes you wonder why anyone would great such a game? But worth playing.

So go on and pay what you want for games that normally cost as much as $166. Yet it's the Humble Bundle, so you choose the price. And of couse to unlock the Steam keys, a $1 minimum payment is needed. Make sure to pick up the FREE Party Hard 2 Alpha. Since we released news about the build, now it's available to everyone. So make sure to check it out. Redeem on Steam. All of the games in this bundle are available on Steam for Windows, and some for Mac and Linux too. The free alpha of Party Hard 2 is available DRM-free only. The Humble tinyBuild Bundle is available now for Linux, Mac and Windows PC. So get it while the average price is still under $10. You have until Tuesday, May 23rd to purchase.
