[oatmeal]

Damn, that's quite a haul for 4 bucks.

 

[Wario64]

cheap

 

[Poyunch]

Aether still remains as my favorite Edmund McMillen game.

 

[JaseC]

Sounds good to me.

 

[SparkTR]

I will buy this.

 

[Alo81]

I was wanting to play Aether after watching IG:tM and I'm happy I held off. I'll end up buying this pack and try out the game with sharper looking visuals.

 

[Chesskid1]

very curious about controller support.

 

[HadesGigas]

very curious about controller support.

I wouldn't count on it, they're still flash games.

I know this uses Adobe AIR, not sure if that changes anything, but if they do have controller support I think he'd want to go out of his way to mention that.

 

[sophora]

will buy

 

[Lijik]

Having an offline version of Time Fcuk would be worth 10 bucks.
At 4 with all of his other stuff, its a steal

 

[-Mikey-]

Wow, forgot how much was in this bundle. Very excited to check out more of his work.

 

[Deputy Dangle]

I want to support Edmund as much as I can, and this bundle is too cheap to pass up. Will buy.

 

[Incendiary]

Definitely buying this. I love Edmund McMillen's stuff. Plus $4 is great for all that content.

 

[cramoss]

Will buy.

 

[GabbyJay]

Sold

 

[Jinfash]

That's a lot of games I don't already own.

 

[Popstar]

.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

That's a lot just for $4.

 

[HadesGigas]

Time to speculate on what the two secret games will be.

I'm going to guess the original game jam version of Binding of Isaac for one.

Spoiler

I'm probably wrong

He revealed one of them already somewhere on the internet, go find it!

 

[Fox the Sly]

$4? I'd be losing money if I don't buy it!

 

[Dog Problems]

Can't wait to play some of these again. It's been awhile.

 

[haikira]

I'm definitely in. Price is great just for the games. But the extras included push it over to day one for sure, for me.

 

[Gala]

Great collection!

 

[Deleted member 1235]

I will give this guy 4 bucks just based off Binding of isaac and super meat boy being so great he should get more money.

hopefully joy2key will be viable for these.

 

[jgminto]

Will get just for Spewer on Steam. Love that game.

 

[Inflammable Slinky]

Real talk: Time fcuk is one of the best video games I have ever played.

 

[Bomber Bob]

no the c word?

totally buying this, dude's a genius

 

[Shard]

I would imagine Steam doesn't allow for swears to be in the titles, lot of business don't like that now that I think about it. Also, I shall skip this collection.

 

[storafötter]

I will definitely get this collection as I am a big fan of SMB. I havent played Isaac yet even if it is on my back catalog.

 

[MNC]

That's aloooot of games. But they can't be all good!

 

[grimshawish]

I have the horrible feeling a lot of these will still be running on flash.
For all of it, its a good price. But am still disappointed at how Issac runs :/

 

[-PXG-]

You're a fool if you don't buy this. God damn.

 

[HadesGigas]

The games are in flash, the game shell is adobe air, but it will be able to use hardware acceleration, unlike Isaac.

 

[grimshawish]

Okay, thats cool then - hopefully that stops them suffering some of the problems in Isaac.

Don't really see any reason for anyone with Steam not to pick this up tbh.

 

[Lord British]

Just hook it to my veins.

Article on The Verge about it

"I actually talk about this in depth in a few of the game commentaries. I think it's important to show your mistakes, it kills the illusion of 'being talented.' I get that a lot, 'I wish I had as much talent as you so I could make cool games.' Talent is a word lazy people use to explain why they can't do things.

"I'm not talented, I just did something a lot for a very long time. The collection shows most of this, it shows mistakes I made and learned from and how I've built off of what I know, and ended up creating Super meat boy and Binding of Isaac. That's not saying the games are bad... Three of the games I feel are on par with SMB and Isaac (Aether, Time Fcuk and Spewer) but the rest are a bit rough around the edges in some ways for sure.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Did he mention whether he's going to bring hardware acceleration to BoI?

It's hard not to love this man.

 

[see5harp]

I'll probably grab on day one but I really wish dude would stop coding in flash.

 

[Glix]

This dude is prolific! I know these are old games, but still, he just pumps 'em out!

 

[microtubule]

$4 bucks? sounds good!

 

[RionaaM]

He revealed one of them already somewhere on the internet, go find it!

Could you elaborate more? Don't feel like googling

 

[cartman414]

Awesome.

Now plz recompile Isaac. Have every achievement, but still...

 

[Dog Problems]

Isaac is actually getting remade for consoles, apparently, and it will be on PC as well.

 

[Baloonatic]

I remember him unlocking one of the secret games on Twitch.

 

[DyTonic]

Black characters look racist.

 

[nexen]

I will buy this for $4.

wut

I thought he said it'd stay on PC? Not that it's a bad thing as we're getting it on PC as well but this is surprising.

He talks about it on his Formspring often. It seems another company is doing it and it wouldn't be out until sometime next year. Nothing is confirmed yet.

You can browse through it and see random questions answered. May have to go down a ways before seeing any talk of it.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Now look what jumped to the top of my most anticipated games for 2013. Oh my.
