It's not just me, but for anyone. So the corrupted DNS explanation can't be right (I think, given I'm not knowledgeable about these matters)-tsaint (December 14, 2011, 03:40 AM)
Regarding Alec Baldwin and Team America - that wasn't him! He read the script and VOLUNTEERED to do his own voice but was turned down. Can't remember where I read that...-Darwin (December 13, 2011, 11:09 PM)
For what it's worth, you site works fine for me now. It is possible you may have a DNS issue - corrupt/invalid cached lookup somewhere between you and the server.-Stoic Joker (December 13, 2011, 09:47 PM)
Stop perpetuating that false quote-f0dder (December 13, 2011, 04:27 PM)
Also, that situation today is vastly different from how things were back then. Yes, we have scalability issues on the back-end side of things that need to be fixed, but we're pretty well off on the end-user side of things, apart from a (relatively) few specialized niches.-f0dder (December 13, 2011, 04:27 PM)
But after a re-read, I don't see many alternate ways it could be taken.-40hz (December 13, 2011, 04:31 PM)
You have missed the point you don't play them - you collect them (like a stamp collection) ;-)-Carol Haynes (December 13, 2011, 04:42 PM)

The "frankly, it's none of your business" comment is a pretty offensive thing to say to someone, especially in a discussion forum. That's what an authority says to somebody when they don't want to answer a question, which is their right. But why you would take that stance in their place doesn't make sense to me. I mean, with that attitude, nothing is your business. Don't have a discussion forum, don't talk about news, only speak about things that pertains directly to you.-superboyac (December 13, 2011, 01:26 PM)
Agree 100% - both on the point of forum rudeness and the deeper issue mentioned.
"None of your business" has always been the knee-jerk response of authority challenged.-40hz (December 13, 2011, 03:37 PM)
A many the problems and injustices we suffer with today are a direct result of far too many people minding their "own" business and remaining uninvolved for far too long.-40hz (December 13, 2011, 03:37 PM)
Pay what you want for Super Meat Boy, Shank, Jamestown, Bit.Trip Runner, and NightSky. And if you choose to pay more than the average price, you will also receive Gratuitous Space Battles and Cave Story+!
I nearly peed myself laughing at this:

I was able to extract with 7zip and WinRAR, as for download URL, i noticed you posted the URL using all lowercase letters. I was able to download by changing the file name to RTFPrinting.zip in the URL-hollowlife1987 (December 13, 2011, 07:14 AM)

Dear Indie Royale customer,
It's that time again - the Xmas Bundle is live and is available at IndieRoyale.com right now (those with preorders can download or redeem keys at any time.)
The six-game Bundle is led off by Wadjet Eye's The Blackwell Trilogy Remastered, which includes the first three games in the award winning supernatural 2D point-and-click adventure series starring young New York writer Rosangela Blackwell.
This specially updated version of the trilogy makes a world premiere in forms including Steam and Desura PC keys, plus a downloadable DRM-free Windows version. The remastered Trilogy includes updated voice acting and a 'five years later' audio commentary track for The Blackwell Legacy, as well as a number of other smaller enhancements.
Also included in the Xmas Bundle is Eets, a cult 2D puzzle platformer for Windows and Mac that was the first ever title from Shank creator Klei Entertainment. Described as Lemmings meets The Incredible Machine, Eets boasts over 100 developer-made puzzles, plus 200+ user-created levels in a bonus pack, and is available for Steam (both PC and Mac) and Desura (PC), as well as in DRM-free PC download form for the first time ever.
The Bundle also includes an unlikely-themed multiplayer action title in the form of 800 North and Digital Ranch’s Dino D-Day, a multiplayer Windows PC FPS featuring both dinosaurs and Nazis. The Steam-ready Dino D-Day, in which you can play both as a velociraptor and as Allied troops, is powered by Valve's Source engine, as used in games such as Half-Life 2 and Team Fortress 2.
Rounding out the initial Bundle titles is Vertigo Games' under-appreciated oil drilling action-sim The Oil Blue. The satirical title has you exploring islands and managing drilling machines, based around objectives set by your employer, the United Oil of Oceania company. It's included in Desura and standalone DRM-free PC versions.
As before, the Indie Royale bundle series runs on a multi-day model where price will automatically increase as more people buy the bundle. Generous purchasers, however, can help lower the price for everyone else by choosing to pay more than the current minimum. They will earn a mention on the front page of the site in the process, and an additional bonus in the form of Rush Coil's festive chiptune '8-Bit Christmas' album. (This bonus was also available to those who pre-ordered.)
We're continuing to monitor and react to your suggestions on how we're running things - please contact us if you have an questions about anything to do with Indie Royale.
And don't forget you can follow us on Twitter, Facebook and via Widgets + RSS for breaking news and info about this and other Indie Royale bundles.
Thanks again!

Words with Friends kinda implies(*) it's not a single-player game.-f0dder (December 07, 2011, 05:13 PM)
There are ways around this which allow you to gift a 4-pack to someone else.-Deozaan (December 11, 2011, 11:47 AM)
Now, suppose Stephen decides to go work for Oracle and I decide to go work for HP. And some other organization blocks me from working for HP when HP clearly wants to hire me. WTF? Seriously?-Renegade (December 10, 2011, 06:35 PM)
I don't think you can get a 4-pack if you already own the game. I might be wrong though-p3lb0x (December 11, 2011, 07:50 AM)

Good point. (Apple has pulled many apps from their store after the fact - as for wiping, not sure...)-Renegade (December 09, 2011, 06:10 AM)
I've had apps disappear off my iPhone after they've been pulled from Apple's store.-40hz (December 09, 2011, 07:02 AM)
Freeware developers will hate it.
Poor people will hate it.
You will hate it.
This will be your Apple device.
This will be your Microsoft device.
This will not be your Linux device. You can not install Linux on it.
I said this 3-4 years ago. It is my computing nightmare. Let's see if it comes to pass. It has already started.-app103 (December 09, 2011, 08:36 AM)
