Basically this, but every time they say “Dilated”, imagine they are saying “Savy”, and every time the say “People”, imagine they are saying “Gamer”.

Since the problems which I suspect were the fault of my previous host, QIQ, I’ve been working around the clock to try and get SavyGamer back up and running properly.

There’s a few fiddly things that need to be changed that I’ll sort out over the next few days, and I’m on a newer version of the theme so there are a few small changes. Let me know if you see anything not working correctly.

Ironically, I gather that the downtime over the past few days has got the attention of some new people. Hello you! If you’re new, make yourself at home. SavyGamer is a web site that is constantly updated with the best deals on video games from all sources. If you want to save money on games, then stick around. <3 Cheers for your patience whilst I've been sorting this out.

I hope you’re reading this from somewhere safe, like an RSS reader.

Basically the problems that my host had said that they had sorted 7 days ago are actually not sorted, and so there is some nasty malware embedded somewhere on the site. Microsoft Security Essentials is successfully detecting the malware, and preventing it from infecting my PC, so if you suspect you might have been infected, I recommend using that.

I suspect this is going to force my hand and make me move to somewhere else. I’m currently looking into my options, but will be posting deals to twitter.com/savygamer in the meantime.

I’m really sorry about this, I’m doing everything I can to fix it.

Does this really count as a leak? I think probably. Either way, I bet I got your attention with that question mark headline, sucker. These are some indie packs that have been added to the Steam registry, which I don’t know what it is.

Indie Smart pack: Lumines, Droplitz, Puzzle Agent, Quantz
2D pack: Bullet Candy, Geometry Wars, Super Laser Racer, VVVVVV, Galcon Fusion
Heavy Hitters: Audio Surf, Shattered Horizon, World of Goo, Zeno Clash
Fright Pack: The Path, Zombie Driver, Scourge Project, The Void, Burn Zombie Burn
Fantasy Pack: Spectromancer, Fairie Solitaire, Fortix, Bob Came in Pieces, NyxQuest
Flight Pack: Every Day Shooter, Gratuitious Space Battles, Dogfighter, Flotilla, Guns of Icarus
Adventure Pack: Gish, And Yet It Moves, Mr Robot, Samarost, Jolly Roger
Kids Pack: Toki Tori, Crayon Physics, Secret of Magic Crystal, Max & Magic Marker, Delve Deeper
Beat Pack: Rhythm Zone, Beat Hazard, Turba, Chime, Bit Trip Beat
Future Pack: Uplink, Twin Sector, Hammerfight, System Protocol, Hacker Evolution
Brain Pack: Big Brain Wolf, Windowsill, Zen Bound 2, Diamond Dan, Puzzle Bots
Mix Pack: Darwinia, Defcon, Cogs, Eufloria, Plain Sight

It certainly looks like the kind of sale items Steam might have over Christmas. 12 indie bundles for the 12 days of Christmas? It’s also about time the phenomenal Every Day Shooter goes on sale too. Going by the pricing of the Thanksgiving sale, these packs will probably be £3.99/£3.50 each.

There is also one massive indie pack:
Indie Potato Pack: Amnesia, Bit.Trip.Beat, Toki Tori, Red Orchestra, Killing Floor, Darkest Hour, Audio Surf, Wonderful End of the world, Defense Grid, AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, The Ball, Cogs, Braid, Super Meat Boy

Also mentioned are:
TellTale complete pack
Alien Breed pack

So maybe hold off buying any TellTale or Alien Breed games in the meantime.
