Humble Bundle Is On!!


If you've never heard of the Humble Bundle, it's basically a bundle of PC games on the cheap.  You can pay just the minimum of $1 and get the basic bundle of games, pay more and "beat the average" and get a few more games, or pay $25 or more you'll get everything that they are offering.  The best part is that it goes to charity, you decide how much.  Current offering (all on Steam):

Pay at least $1 (You'll receive 1 Steam key):
Saints Row: The Third ($19.99)
Saints Row 2 ($14.99)
Risen 2: Dark Waters ($19.99)
Sacred 2 Gold ($19.99)

Beat the Average (You'll receive an additional Steam key):
Dead Island GOTY ($19.99) - Steam won't show "GOTY" in your library, but the DLS will show as available from within the game.
Saints Row The Third - The Full Pacakge (DLC Only Key) ($39.99) - Does not include the base game, so don't give the key away if you don't own the game!

$25 or more
Dead Island Riptide ($39.99)


Update (08/06/2013):

More games (Metro 2033, Risen, Sacred Citadel) have been added if you beat the average, which is a little under $5.



Another Password Manager called Dashlane


So I currently use LastPass as my password manager and it has worked well.  I use the free version and find that it does pretty much everything that I want.  But, you can never have enough password manager options.  There's LastPass, Keypass, and 1Password to name a few and now there is another called Dashlane.  It has a slick looking application and seems to integrate well with browsers.  I briefly used it and found that I had issues importing my LastPass file.  I also wish it would prompt for the master password whenever I want to view a saved password.  It's freemium similar to LastPass but cost $19.99 a year for the additional features.

Guess a location at GeoGuessr


So I stumbled across this website where you try to guess where in the world you are.  It places you in a location via Google Maps, you simply take a look around, place a marker on the map, submit, and it'll give you points based on how close you were with your guess.  Try it out.  7841 was my best attempt.
