    I was going to order one, but my credit card doesn't have a "start date" as far as I know. :confused::(

    It'll be the same month as the end date except with the year changed to the one you got it in. I had a card with no start date printed on it once and that's what I did ;)

    As in, the date I got the first card of that number? Because I think I'm on the third card now, so I don't remember the issue date, plus I had some problems getting one of them issued once so the current date is probably a few months off.

    Well the card should have an end date printed on it for whenever in the future the card expires. So the start date is in the same month as the end date, just swapping the year for the year in which the card was issued to you.

    That's how I did it anyway (or how i remember doing it) that one time I was on about, but things may be different across the atlantic

    I have a hard enough time selecting the proper goo fast enough on PC, it must be a nightmare on Wii.

    I have it on the wii too, once you get into the rythem (did I spell that right?) of it it's fairly easy. I recommend the World of Goo, it has some suprisingly clever levels, and the goo blobs are cute!:p

    I wish DEFCON was one of the games priced at 1p.
    At that price, Global Thermonuclear War does sound compelling.

    Darwinia: It's a nice game and if you like it, you can try Multiwinia (A multiplayer enabled Darwinia)
    Uplink: Interesting, but finally an unsatisfying and unfinished game (I wish the "story" component of the game was triggered later and network hacking was more integral {and less buggy} to the game). Still nothing can beat the adrenaline of avoiding getting caught while "hacking" while the trace pings get closer.

    All these games have a demo available, so you can definitely check them out (though the Uplink demo is too short)

    Definitely pick up Uplink if the idea intrigues you. There are enough mods out there to keep it fresh for a loooong time.

    Has anyone used this site before? I presume that it's a legitimate site, but wanted to verify that. If it is, I think I'll pick up everything I can for a penny.
  • edited May 2010
    Normally with deals like this, if they're legit, you have to give your credit card. You get the initial batch for a penny, then they charge you $30 or something the following month (and subsequent months), unless you specifically cancel the subscription.

    But this one doesn't look like a subscription service at all, just loss leader deals for publicity.

    Sites legit folks. It's only just opened so it's a publicity deal thingamabob. though do gotta run a Steam-esque client which I wasn't particularly pleased about. Still. Penny games
  • edited May 2010
    Yeah so I still can't order. :(

    Edit: Submitted a ticket, got a reply that just said they know about the problem and are working on it. Hopefully they fix it before the sale ends. :(
