You best put that gun down before you get yourself hurt. You think this is my first time dealing with the likes of you? Please. You got another thing coming if you think I can't defend myself.

So, here's what you're gonna do, you're gonna put that gun down, sit yourself down, and then you're gonna grab a cup of coffee. I just made it. Fresh! Then I'm gonna check out your games, and I'll even do you one better! I'll help you out too!

Now, mind you, I'm not doing this because I'm scared. I could take you out before you even knew what hit you. But I'm not going to, because any one who would hold a gun to another is someone who's known unkindness from life. Those are the people I like to help most. So don't mistake my courtesy for fear. I'm helping you because you clearly need the help.

Now, sip that coffee while I look in your bag.

Hmmm. Let's see here. Duck Game! A fellow I know absolutely loves this. Thinks it's just the best time you can have with your buddies. I haven't tried it myself but I know a good pick when I see one.

Now Spec Ops is a heavy game. Makes you feel things. A tough game for a tough world.

Jedi Academy is a classic. I played it a long time ago, in a town far, far away. I'm not the biggest fan of the Star Wars, but any time you get to play cowboys in space is a good time in my book.

Now Project CARS is interesting. I have a friend into sim racing who likes these kinda games. I'm more of an arcade racing fan myself. I like to throw the cars around with wild abandon rather than worrying about doing right by them.

As for DiRT 4, well, I played 3 and loved it. Much more arcadey than Project CARS. I haven't tried 4 yet but I'm sure it's great stuff too.

All told you got a good bundle, which is exactly what I'm here for! Now, I promised you I'd not only give you the bundle, but I also told you I'd help you out. Now, I don't want you to think I'm no fancy lawyer from the city, but I reckon I can give you some free advice for dealing with the law, and that's this: you don't need to go turning free stuff into a robbery! You don't need to hold me up, partner! These games are free anyway! Didn't you read the sign out front?! Who brings a gun to a giveaway?!

Now I don't know you that well, but I suspect that might be why you're having so much trouble with the law. No wonder the sheriff is looking for you! Who else did you threaten? Babies in their carriages? You got to know when it's worth showing your firearm and, take it from me, it's rarely worth it. Especially not when someone's already handing stuff over!

Now, I can see that you're done your cup of coffee, and I thank you for putting that ugly gun away. You can take your bag and mosey on, but if you need another cup for the road, feel free to fill up before you go. I know life is tough out there, but make sure you don't squander the kindness of strangers. I'm nice enough to teach you a lesson, but the next guy you meet likely won't. Don't go making more trouble for yourself, and for god's sake stop leading with that gun for everything!

Even though I never appreciate staring down a barrel, I can always appreciate a good bundle made at the Bundle Barrel, and you've got yourself quite a nice one. I'm happy you came by. Stop back in should you ever need another cup o' joe. I've always got a pot on.

Alright, I'm back! So sorry about the trouble last night. I like to do right by my customers so it pains me when I can't help them out immediately. Please help yourself to a cup of coffee before you leave. I just made it fresh! Ground the beans myself just now!

Also, you picked quite the bundle! Let's look at what you got in your bag.

The King of Fighters XIV. Now, let me tell you about this one. I've been doing this long enough to know a good bargain when I see one, and I got that game, along with some others, dirt cheap. In fact, the deal was so good the store couldn't keep the pack on the shelves! Sold out within the day. Some people were mad as a hornet's nest about that, but, then again, people will get mad about anything.

Now Okami HD is also something special. I haven't played it myself but I still have a lot of fondness for it. See, I used to work over at the schoolhouse, and one of the kids there once gave me a presentation on this game. This kid loved to draw, and was quite the artist! His work even got put up around town a couple of times! Anyway, he did a project on artwork and he used a lot of examples from Okami, and it looked absolutely stunning. Plus you could just tell the game meant the world to him. Warms my heart thinking back on that.

Type:Rider is interesting. I played it many years back so my memory's a little fuzzy, but I enjoyed it. I think it's kinda clunky but also the kind of game for people that love letters, you know? I don't know too much about you, traveler, but I got a feeling you're that kind of person.

Now Equilinox is simply splendid. With all the stress out there right now, it's great to have something relaxing to sink into. It's the kind of game you don't have to worry about losing in, and it's the kind of game that's great to have on in the background and check in on, every so often. For a while, I took better care of the plants in that game than I did for the plants in my own pasture!

Finally, Dex has been something I've been meaning to get around to for a long time, but haven't yet. You know how it is, I'm sure! It looks like the bees' knees.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by the Bundle Barrel! Best wishes for the road ahead. Oh, and don't forget your coffee!

I am terribly embarassed -- you caught me right as I was about to turn in for the evening! I'm normally open late but, well, you get to be my age and you start to get tired easier and earlier. So it goes.

Unfortunately I already locked the register for the night, but rest assured I'll keep your bag safe behind the counter and check you out first thing in the morning.

So sorry for the inconvenience. I hate making you wait, especially as you picked out such good choices! That's quite a bundle if I ever saw one. I'll make it all right tomorrow soon as I get up and put the coffee on.

Ah, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2! Such a classic. Takes me back. I haven't played it in a long, long time, but I have fond memories of when I did. I've heard around these parts there's an even better way to play it these days, but that might just be a rumor. I haven't tried it out myself.

I don't know much about Unhack either, but I'm happy to pass it your way. Hopefully it's a winner!

Also, I can't help but notice your bag still has a couple of slots left. You sure you don't want to fill it up before you go? You don't have to, of course, but I just want to make sure everybody leaves the Bundle Barrel feeling fully satisfied.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 is such a wonderful, relaxing game. Or, at least I thought it was until I tried manually parking the truck! Boy howdy, that takes some skill! I hope it helps you calm down in these stressful times.

World of Goo is also one of my favorites. It's got a heart of gold. One of the first games that really made me appreciate what indie developers could bring to the scene, you know? Sometimes you don't want to play something by the big guys.

I can't help but notice you got a few spots left in your bag. Feel free to fill it up before you see yourself out if you like!

I'm a simple man and I lead a simple life. I don't have a lot of vices. Many of my friends are taken to drink or gambling, but those don't pull for me. Instead, I like to spend my hard-earned money on games. Now, don't get me wrong, as a shopkeep, I also love a good deal, so I make sure I get as much as I can for each dollar. Sometimes I buy stuff I like, but a lot of times I buy stuff to share with others too. Can't be too selfish in this cruel world, right?

Anyway, I have the dearest of loves for VVVVVV. I don't replay games much but I think I've played through it four or five times now over the years. I don't want to give it too much praise, but something about it just sits right with me, you know? Plus its music? Well, I could play that all day and night and not find myself sick of it.

I don't know much about your other game, Sturmovik or whatnot. All that war stuff never appealed to me, especially the really realistic stuff. Nevertheless, I've heard from a couple of travelers who like that sort of thing that it's a good choice, so I hope it serves you well.

Thanks for stopping by the Bundle Barrel, and, I can't help but notice that you've still got some room left in your bag. Feel free to fill it all the way up if you like! These games don't get any love just sitting on my shelves here, so I'm more than happy to see them go.

Ah, an eager customer with a full bag! My favorite kind! And quite the bundle you've assembled for yourself. Let me see what you picked out...

Ah, Opus Magnum. Now I've been meaning to play this myself but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Life's keeping me busy. The guy that made it though, he just seems like the smartest person you've ever met. And he's always putting out new games too! Some people are so talented it boggles the mind.

Hacknet isn't something I'm too familiar with, but I hope it treats you well. I've heard good things. In fact, I think the mayor of this little town we're in really enjoyed it! Maybe ask him about it!

Machinarium is such a treat. Beautiful artwork and fantastic puzzles. It's like playing a children's book, although beware, because the art can make the game look like it's going to be a walk in the park, but some of those puzzles are mighty tricky!

I don't know much about The Hex, but I did play Pony Island which was made by the same fellow. Based on what I know about that, it's actually better to not know anything going in!

And last of all, Letter Quest. It's such a nice mix of this old letter game called Boggle and some RPG-type stuff. I liked it enough I played through the original release, and the remaster! I don't remember if they changed anything between the two.

Anyway, thank you for stopping by Bundle Barrel. Hope your picks help you on your way. Safe travels!

Welcome welcome, traveler!

Analogue is really something special. It does so much in such a short period of time. I don't normally love games in that style, but this one drew me in and wouldn't let me go.

Deployment isn't something I know too much about, but it seems like the people who like it really enjoy it. Hopefully it's good to you too.

HIVESWAP, meanwhile, has some of the best ratings of any game out there! It really seems to strike some people's fancy! I don't know too much about the whole Homestuck thing it's part of but the people who are into it really seem to love it deeply.

Thanks for stopping by the Bundle Barrel, and do mind that your bag isn't completely full, so you're always welcome to keep browsing before you head on out on your way.

How do I find all this stuff? Well, I was just having that conversation with another traveler. I'm a hardworking man of few vices. I save my money, don't spend too much, and have been lucky enough in life to make sure I'm able to tend to my own. I don't have any kids neither, so sometimes I like to spend a little extra on one of the things I love most: games. I can only buy so many for myself, so sometimes I spend that little extra on stuff for others. Lets me keep this shop up and running, and lets me meet all sorts of neat people from all over! Plus, I got a fierce eye for bargains. I absolutely get the most for my money!

Now let's look at your picks.

LOVE is so fantastic. That dev did so much with so little! It's got some great level design, as well as fun music. There are one or two levels I simply don't like, and if it weren't for those it'd be the kind of game I'd play over and over again for fun, trying to do it faster and faster! Once you get good at it you can beat the whole thing pretty quickly.

This War of Mine is so good but, I'm gonna warn you, it's tough. Really stressful. Some people play games to get away from the roughness of life, but this ain't one of them that does that. But what it does, it does really well. Makes you care about people and appreciate what you have, and lord knows we could use more of that in this world!

And lastly, Hitman 2. Now I haven't played this as it's not my style, but from the people who like it? Well, they consider it a masterpiece. Apparently you got lots of different ways to do what you need to, lots of freedom. Not every day you see that kind of design in a game.

Great choices all around, and even though I think you'll turn me down, I'll note that your bag isn't quite full! You can always choose more, but from the sounds of it, it seems like you've already got a pretty full shelf at home too. I know the feeling, partner! It sometimes feels like too much, but then again I take comfort in knowing there's always something new for me to enjoy. Safe travels!

Yeah, from what I can gather those helmet things are selling like hotcakes! I hope you can find yourself one soon.

Now, I don't mean to eavesdrop, but it sounds like you're still thinking over your purchase. That's fine! Take your time! I'm here every day, and if stock starts running low I can easily resupply. Should you decide if you want anything, just sslide up to the counter here and I'll get you going on your way! Even if you decide not to nab anything, I'm still just happy to have any visitors come through.

Now, one game ain't a bundle, but I appreciate that you followed my store rules! Just know that if you'd like anything else in that bag I'd be happy to turn it over.

I haven't played Garfield Kart myself but I've heard plenty of murmurings about it online. Seems a lot of people like the game as a joke, so I've no idea whether it's actually good or more of just a meme. Nevertheless, I'm happy to turn it over to you!

Hey now, look at that. You picked The Last Express. Take a seat for a moment and listen to an old man's story.

The Last Express isn't just my favorite game in the store, oh no. I reckon it's probably my favorite game of all time! Now, it's been a while since it came out, so it looks a little different today, but back when it first hit shelves, boy howdy was it amazing! Great characters, great story. It makes you feel like you're playing one of those Agatha Christie novels.

Now, I get that the game can be hard to stomach today. Some people love it like I do, but some people cast it aside in frustration. Mind you, this is a game that expects you to fail and learn from it, but I understand how that's not usually very fun. So, I'm telling you that should you find yourself getting into the game but find it frustrating, there is nothing wrong with using a guide if you need one. In fact, there's so much richness in the game that you can miss without one, that I almost recommend it from the beginning!

Some folks are too proud to use guides, and I get that, but I think in this case it's worth it. Plus, if you don't want to seek out answers, I know the game like the back of my hand, so if you ever need some strategic hinting instead, just find me and ask!

Also, if you want to know a bit more about what you're getting into, I found this here old letter I wrote with some of my thoughts on it. I'll warn you, it does have some spoilers in it, but nothing too major. I think it'll help you wrap your mind around what the game is and what it does so well though, which is why I'll leave it with you here.

As for Rain World, I haven't played it myself, but it does look beautiful. Makes me want to play it just to look at it.

Anyway, I thank you for stopping by the Bundle Barrel, and it warms my heart to see my favorite game leave the shelves in the hands of another. Best of luck, traveler.

Oh, and before you go, remember that the bag limit is 5! You can still choose some more if you like.

Howdy, Traveler! This here's the Bundle Barrel, and I can see you're only choosing one game! That ain't a bundle! Plus you're supposed to take something unusual too. Store rules!

Now I never want to be pushy with a customer, and I'm happy to check you out with just the one, but I also want you to know that you got plenty of room left in that bag for more if you so desire.

Ah, two nice picks.

I never played This Is the Police 2. I never been one of those sim or strategy type people, but the game looks real nice. A fella I'm real close with played the first one and thought it was splendid.

I did play The Walking Dead and I loved it. A real modern adventure, with five different episodes. Some people say the formula's played out now, but it gripped me all the same. Some tough choices you have to make in that one.

Thanks for stopping by the Bundle Barrel, traveler! Best wishes on the road ahead. And, of course, know that you've still got some space in your bag, should you want to fill it up further!

Dagnabit! I'm going to have to apologize profusely to you, traveler. I normally pride myself on a clean and tidy shop, but I done screwed up. I thought I had a copy of Armello all ready to give away but it turns out I screwed up my books and don't actually have it in stock. I also checked my suppliers and, unfortunately, prices are at an all time high right now. Can I offer you anything else as a replacement?

Now, the good news is that I can definitely follow through on Cook, Serve, Delicious 2. I played the first one and it was just the most fun thing. Tough though! I hope you enjoy it, but I'm terribly sorry about the mix up. Not only do you still have room in your bag for more if you want them, but I also want to make my mess right with you if I can!

Good day to you! Always happy to have a cheery traveler stop in. Especially one that knows what they want!

The Sexy Brutale is something I've been meaning to play for a while now. I've heard good things, including from people in this here town. Supposed to be odd but very interesting.

Meanwhile, Soul Calibur VI is supposed to be great. I've heard you can make dang near any character you want to in the game! I'm not much for fighters myself, and it sounds like you've put them aside, but maybe this game will be the spark to relight that fire?

Lethal League is great fun. Easy to pick up and play, and great to play with a friend or spouse. But, then again, you already knew this! Happy to reintroduce you to something you're already fond of.

And now, last we have Neon Chrome. If you and your wife like this one, consider the game JYDGE. I'd go ahead and give you a copy of it if I had one right now, but it's made by the same folks and is kind of a brother game to Neon Chrome. It's a little different, but they're both good in their own ways.

I appreciate you stopping by the Bundle Barrel, and I wish you best of luck on your travels!

Believe me, traveler, I understand the tempting pull of the baubles! It's what got me into this shopkeeping business in the first place!

Now, I will say that this whole time I've been waiting for someone to come through and pick up the Dreamcast Collection from my shelves. I actually bought it in my last resupply, just for now, because it's one of my all-time favorites. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret: you just got the best dang deal out of any shopper today because that one choice comes with six different games! Here's another secret: one of them didn't even come out on the Dreamcast! Can you believe it? It's true!

One Finger Death Punch is I think better than it has any right to be. It's dead simple but also so fun? I don't know how they did it but I liked my time with it.

Beholder is a bit of an odd one, but I'm glad someone picked it up. I didn't love it myself but there's a good game there that I just couldn't get into.

Learn Japanese to Survive, meanwhile, is hopefully educational for a traveler like you!

Thanks for stopping by, and despite getting nine total games, you actually have one spot in your bag left if you want it. If not, no worries, and safe travels, partner!

I'm so terribly sorry -- another customer reserved Dex but I didn't pull it off the shelf! I looked to see if I could get more stock but prices are very high for that right now, so I won't be able to replace it. I can still check out your other two games though, and keep in mind that you still have three spots left to fill in your bag if you want them.

As for your games, I don't know too much about Street Fighter V, but I think it's brewed up a bit of controversy. Something about netcode or some such? I'm not too sure. I do know a fellow who loves fighting games though, and he plays a lot of it, so I'm sure there's a great game to be had there even if it might have a little bit wrong with it. Nobody's perfect though, right? And we still love them just the same!

As for Downfall, I don't know much about it myself but it looks creepy. Got a neat art style to it. Hope it gives you the shivers!

As you know I already promised my copy of Equilinox to another customer, but I checked with my suppliers and I was able to get another, just for you. I don't normally do this kind of thing, you know, but I was moved by your generosity in setting up another shop here in town. I know enough about the games market to know that the one you're offering never, EVER goes on discount! You're a generous soul, and I wanted to repay that in kind. People like you make this town a great place to be, you know? Least I can do is get you the one game you wanted!

Unfortunately I'm all gone and closed up for now. Sorry partner.
