Humble Bundle's Black Friday Sale

Humble Bundle has some great game deals on for Black Friday and they are even steeper for Humble Choice members. Here are a few of my personal picks from the Black Friday sale.

Satisfactory - $20.99 USD (30% Discount)

Great open-world factory building game in first-person. So many hours spent in Factorio led me to doing the same here. They recently released an update which brought in new Trains stuff and a ton of new options for building visually stunning factories.

This is my favourite chillout game to play when I want to forget about the world for a few hours. If one would consider doing math for ultimate efficiency chillout.

7 Days to Die - $7.49 USD (70% Discount)

The survival crafting game. Its a first person open-world shooter with tower defense elements in the form of zombies. Invite some friends, build a base, and survive the zombie horde. It's a bit on the grindy side but this is some of the most post-apocalyptic fun I've had with friends. The exploration and occasional scare when a zombie jumps out at you makes it an 8/10. It becomes at 11/10 with the fun base building mechanics.

The game has been in early access since the Atari came out, but has seen a ton of updates in that time shaping it into quite the experience. The Alpha 20 patch is targeted for an early December release date on the Experimental branch of the game so now is the perfect time to pick it up! The Alpha 20 update will bring in some new zombies, questing improvements, new craftable weapons, terrain improvements, vehicle modifications, huge new map sizes, and more. I for one can't wait to give the game a go again, probably around the holidays.

Valheim - $15.99 USD (20% Discount)

Vikings. Play it.

But seriously, this is one of those games I picked up on release and logged almost 100 hours in a short period of time. I love the art. Screenshots don't do this game justice because when you're in it, it feels right. Boating brough back memories of Ark, the boss fights although simple were plenty of fun with friends, and building viking lodges to mount your trophies on your wall was super fun to play with the building physics. Being able to shape the land with your tools, creating mountains or carving out rivers is also awesome.

I came for the survival aspect, I stayed for the building and friends. This is easily in my top 3 games that released (early access) this year. It might even be #1. The Hearth and Home update came out a couple of months ago and although I haven't played it yet, the new cooking recipes, stations, and rebalancing of that aspect of the game looks really well done. There's also a ton of new things to build with (like Crystal Walls which are like windows, or that Viking Hot Tub) which is exciting to someone who loves to get creative in games like that.

Grand Theft Auto 5 - $14.99 USD (50% Discount)

It feels a bit strange to put this on a list because it seems like everyone owns it at this point, but it needs to be here. For $15, Grand Theft Auto 5 is one of the best games you can play. The campaign is plenty of fun and has some truly great characters and gameplay but I love the game for online play. Getting to run through crazy heist missions with friends, have sniper battles on the streets of Los Santos with other players, and crash planes into other players trying to complete missions is thrilling to say the least.

The new Los Santos Tuners update for online has been positive with there being some great missions that can be completed solo. That's one thing that Rockstar has been doing better of lately with the game - making good online content that can be done solo if you want. 

Gray Viking Games

Although not Black Friday Deals, Gray Viking Games has instant delivery of codes for MTG Arena which, prior to us becoming an affiliate of, was my favourite way to buy codes online for MTG Arena.

As usual with our promoted Amazon posts, I only like to recommend gear that I've personally used or know people who have had good experiences with it. That's very important to me because although getting a kickback is nice, I'd rather not see folks disappointed. Here's our picks for Black Friday 2021.

    I'm embarrassed to say I was unaware it was due to a silicon shortage.  I had heard that it was due to production issues with facilities closing down...

    Well that and a combination of digital currency miners snapping up GPU's and therefore driving the price up.  In short I thought it was a perfect storm of production issues, digital currency mining, and then scalpers on top of everything else.  

    Feel free to elaborate or clear it up, I'd be interested to hear more in detail! (in a PM if you don't want to make another tangent thread or discuss it publicly!)


    As for XCOM2, I actually stopped playing because when I came back I tried to play but one of my mods was broken, and when I went to update my mods, I found that a few of my favorite mods were no longer supported.  It kind of put a damper on my ability to pick the game up.  Don't get me wrong, the game on a baseline level is still very fun, but I can't really play it "base" anymore and the fact that my favorite mods weren't working put me in a sour mood.  So at this point I'm just praying for XCOM3 by 2023. (considering that Civ6 seems to be coming to the end of it's lifecycle, I expect that we may see XCOM3 as the new focus of development work by Firaxis in the future...)

      Oh yeah, the silicon problems have been mental over the past couple of years. Without a doubt though it is a perfect storm that has caused all the problems. It was even more fascinating when the car problems, yes actual cars, ended up having supply chain issues. 

      The biggest issue from everyone ends up being folks weren't thinking long-term with their production cycles (in fairness it does cost money to hold raw material). It'll be interesting to see if any companies start hoarding stuff once productions return to capacity to try and avoid future similar problems.

      Wendover did a good video talking about a bunch of the shortages that popped up the past couple of years.

      As far as mods go though, I feel that so much.

      Its one of the reasons why I try to play games without mods at all, even if that does reduce the overall play time. Mods are awesome to extend the life of some games but if you're really into it and something ends up breaking in a patch, you're usually outta luck.

        Thanks for the video.  It helped explain things even more.  I found it amusing that it boils down to the adage: "It's not a problem, until it is (and affects me)"

        But such a well put video that bleeding edge efficiency and stockpiles can only go so far to impress shareholders, and that America has mimicked the original "well tuned machine" that was Toyota, but not in the right ways.
