 One of the best video game deals I have EVER seen...
...is right here. GamersGate is running a sale on the 1C complete pack for $20.92. There is more stuff in there than you can shake a stick at (80+ games) including: The entire King's Bounty series The entire back catalog of the Men of War series The Entire Space Rangers and Star Wolves series The entire Necrovision series The entire UFO: After[word] series (1 is kinda lackluster, but 2 is amazing and 3 is not quite as good as 2, but still VERY good) Cryostasis and about a bajillion other things of various levels of quality. I am attempting to wrap my head around this enough to make a decision about what to even install first. It's mind boggling.

And I still can't complete the purchase. PayPal keeps fucking up. ETA I suspect it might be due to the fact that the billing info on gamers gate has a drop down for my billing address state that is full of blank entries. Guess no games for me.

I had no problem at all. Just the standard PayPal redirect. Give it an hour and try again? Seems like somebody's servers (Take your pick - GamersGate, PayPal or your financial institution) may be having some problems.

 Re: One of the best video game deals I have EVER seen...
For anyone else who might be considering this, here's what I'd consider the list of "good stuff" in the bundle.
Cryostasis: Apparently one of the better horror games out there.
King's Bounty: I've played all the games in this series at least some, and they're tons of fun if you like the Heroes of Might & Magic/Disciples style of game.
UFO: Aftershock and Afterlight I've sunk quite a few hours into these games, and they're both good, solid tactical strategy games.
Men of War: Assault Squad I know this one only by reputation so far. The Gamers With Jobs crew loves it, though.
Death Track: Resurrection This game would be better by many factors of magnitude if they'd just included multiplayer. (I can just imagine how awesome that would have been) Still, it's a fun game. Just try not to think about what might have been.
There's a lot of stuff that looks at least interesting and a bunch that looks hilariously bad.

 Re: One of the best video game deals I have EVER seen...
I finally got it sorted... 3 credit cards later. I had to click a few countries before I could select a state, the PayPal didn't like my card, so I put in another, then it kept saying it wasn't confirmed, then I ended up using the same card but put in without logging into PayPal... Men of War Assault Squad better not suck!

Somehow, it doesn't surprise me that it is Paypal responsible for everything being screwed up.
