The Potato Sack - 13 Indie Games Steam Deal

[Hectic Glenn]

​

[br]Now available on Steam is the oddly named 'The Potato Sack' bundle of 13 indie games which come at a 75% discount - ?27.22 / $38.72. The bundle includes:

1... 2... 3... KICK IT!, AaAaAA! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, Amnesia, AudioSurf, BIT.TRIP BEAT, Cogs, Defense Grid: The Awakening, Killing Floor, RUSH, Super Meat Boy, The Ball, The Wonderful End of the World & Toki Tori.

Also as you may have predicted...if you buy this pack (or have all 13 of these games in your account) you get a potato hat in TF2 (Potato hat available after April 5th).

Huh. I'm surprisingly uninterested in this deal. For once Steam does not have me worrying about whether or not I can afford to buy things from it.

Edit: Shit I just noticed that Super Meat Boy is also 50% off.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

But wait, the TF2 hat!?

Any idea on the potato theme, just for the purposes of some kind of sack?

 

[-smash-]

There seems to be some sort of ARG going on...

When does this expire, or does it expire?

"(Potato hat available after April 5th)." Also does this mean that you get the hat in game on the 5th or that if you buy it after the 5th you get the hat?

They boldly claim on that wiki that it's related to the Half-Life universe but I see no Half-Life references in what they're describing :\

Do they really need to slap a hat on everything. Jeez.

Do they really need to slap a hat on everything. Jeez.

I guess it's just the nature of having a popular product. Milk that shit. Milk it dry.

On a lighter note, I've been waiting for Super Meat Boy to be on sale so I can see what all the love is about. So far it all makes sense....

 

[Warped]

If I didn't have half the games on the list I'd buy em

 

[StarBob]

Yeah I had three of them and some of them I was fairly sure I didn't want... so I just picked up Super Meat... it's so frustrating yet addictive. I'm very happy I bought that gamepad a while back.
