Nice deal on a highly anticipated game that isn't even out yet. I would be all over it if my friends weren't going to be playing on Xbox One.
I'll need a 50% off deal to jump on the TF bandwagon.
OT: New Humble Indie Bundle. Got some good games like Guacameele Gold Edition, Dust, The Swapper and others, including more games to be announced later.

I picked up the Weekly Humble Bundle for $6 too. I mostly got it for The Book of Unwritten Tales and Deponia. As usual, there are some throw away games in this bundle. Still, when I'm getting 11 games for $6 and some of that money is going to charity I definitely can't complain. Depending on pricing, if there is at least 1-2 games I actually want in these bundles I will usually pick them up.
The system requirements for these look doable for my Windows 7 laptop. Only Deponia says "shared memory not recommended." But what is Pixel Shader 2.0/3.0 that some require?
I don't actually know what Pixel Shader is. When I look at system requirements I typically just look at CPU, GPU, and RAM. I would bet that you will be fine on your laptop. I play games like Civ 5 and some indie games on a laptop when I take care of my dad pretty often. This is a 2 or 3 year old Windows 7 laptop with an Intel i3 and 4GB of ram. Basically it's nothing special but it's ok for a lot of indie games and older games. You might have to turn a few settings down but I would think you can probably play all of these games on your laptop. Of course, I don't know what type of processor or how much RAM you have but if it's a semi-recent laptop it's probably ok.
I Swear that TellTale doesn't know how to program on consoles. TWAU on the 360 is a laggy, slow loading mess, and King mentioned that TWD on the PS3 was very slow as well. And if I recall, Back to the Future on the PS3 was quite slow as well. Maybe it's wrong for me to compare their performance to that on my PC, but the game is not taxing at all from a hardware perspective. They could definitely benefit from some optimization.'Nother big PSN Sale starting tomorrow. An additional Vita game sale as well. I'm finally going to bite on The Walking Dead Season 2 pass ($10.49 for Plus members) and for The Wolf Among Us ($8.99 for Plus members), though I had been holding out for Vita versions of both TellTale games (I found I preferred the touchscreen for the "combat" elements in TWD1, though lag was really bad throughout.)

OT: Big sale on Saint's Row 4 and Deep Silver games in general at the Humble store. Saints Row 4 is $16 and the Season Pass is $4. That's a LOT of content for $20.
