Five Awesome Games You Can Play on the Cheap

Posted by Alex Lifschitz Categories: Culture, Editorial, Hot Deals, PC, Xbox 360

Money

Now that we’re over the holiday hump (i.e. every game imaginable being released at the same time, oh god, why do you do this to me), a lot of sites and publications have been putting together lists of games to look forward to in the new year. Me? Nuh-uh. I don’t have the cash for that. Fallout and Dead Space alone have depleted my gaming funds for a while (not to mention a certain 360 dying enough times for me to wish ill on its relatives), and if you’re like me, you want a cheap alternative until your funds recover. Hell, even if you don’t need it, you can’t pass up a quality gaming experience on the cheap, but being a penny-pinching bastard like myself tends to help heal those imaginary wounds. So, I’ve decided to put together a list of a few old-but-still-awesome games that you can get for slightly less than the cost of a night with your mom, though they’ll probably last far longer.

You may want to note that some of these games are older and may stutter and wobble and spurt blood if you’re running more than Windows XP, so you may want to check your compatibility before you plunk down the green to have them downloaded to your inferior operating system, muahaha. Hit the jump for the rundown.

PVC Camera MountNeed a quicky camera mount for use with a mic stand? “mnwingnut” wanted to create something that was cheap, easy, secure and small. He finally picked up both a non-threaded female to male PVC adapter and threaded PVC cap, added a nut, wingnut and bolt, some flexible water hose and he had himself a mini-mount. Although the mount can pan and tilt, it is somewhat limited in its ability to make angle adjustments. A step-by-step guide is available for the $4.00 gadget.

MyGlobalTalk Promo Code: 60 free calling minutes

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Hot Deals, Household

MyGlobalTalk Promo CodeYesterday we posted a promo code that gives you 20 free international calling minutes on MyGlobalTalk, with no purchase necessary at all. A few people emailed in and asked if there were any deals that could be had if they were willing to make a purchase. So we got on the phone and worked out yet another deal. Using our latest , if you buy $5 in pre-paid minutes, you will get 60 free minutes added on to your purchase. We’ve found MyGlobalTalk to be the most inexpensive way to make international calls, from anywhere on the planet. That said, that initial $5 payment will bank you a ton of minutes on it’s own (many hours, depending on where you call.)

So there you have it, two MyGlobalTalk promo codes - one for 20 free minutes, and another for 60 free minutes with a $5 pre-paid purchase. Pick your poison.
