Based on the contents of my wallet I'd have to say yes. Sorry for not being richer ;(
I'm not saying it's not a good price I'm just saying it's not a good price for me right now.
They tried out that system where they used lifetime HB average rather than the current bundle's average for BTA. That disappeared without my noticing it. Wonder what happened.
I'm almost sure it won't drop bellow $5. Usually price plummets down in first hours, and then rises back in a longer time and stays more or less the same.
This time there was no plummeting and price drops really really slowly, almost invisibly I would say. It's safe to assume that we are close to price that will stay.

It is almost complete as far as I know. However, you really have to enjoy exploration games with edgy geometric environments to be able to enjoy the game. The closest game I can think of would be Proteus.

A belated 'thank you!' to Nito for Race Injection (was running out the door on the way to work) - thanks mate. 
I played a whole heap of (non-Steam) Race 07 back in the day, and it'll be great to revisit it with all the extra content - e.g. Mini Cooper S, car of the Gods, car of all time.

brilliant! With superhero dying in most horrible ways if you failed to teach him what was needed in proper order.

I'm a recent Steam convert (I used to buy consoles) so this thread seems interesting to me but the speed that it moves at is very intimidating!

Its humble bundle day, so it moves at double the speed. You should have seen it when the humble bundle origin bundle launched... crazy.
It's okay, things get repeated a few times (because we have 3 "shifts", basically, being an international gathering.)
And yeah, it's just after a big bundle dropped.
Things get a little crazy then.

Hi! Welcome aboard
This place can get intimidating, but you do get used to it. The sale threads on the other hand. Yikes lol. You'll meet awesome people in here to boot...
I know what you mean, but then you start chatting and suddenly you feel so welcomed. SteamGAF is full of nice, helpful, and generous people.
I would laugh if Starbound is part of the Beat The Average. That would be poor on Humble Bundles part though and in poor taste for some who did rush to buy it, so I'll say Terraria as another "it's funny" addition.
No need to be. Simply a matter of just jumping in. We're a friendly group as well, happy to help out if you need anything, so feel free to ask questions or seek recommendations.

Terraria is definitely plausible.
I wish Starbound would return that way. Getting it in a bundle would be great for me since I want to try it out, but don't want to pay $15 for a game I'm not guaranteed to be able to run.

Valve support is really bad. How hard is it to understand "The store front does not recognize that I purchased content x -- can you please fix it so that it does?".
I've gotten responses on both of my tickets for this and neither situation is rectified... ugh.

Does the Runner 2 HBX key include the DLC? Is there a seperate key for the DLC?

Whoever got this one is going to be a bit miffed once they realize that it's a MP-only game, with a dead MP scene.

I had a lot of fun during the winter sale threads, i figure its time to jump on in over into the full thread. I'm actually pretty happy with the Humble Bundle, but i didn't own any of the games in it already.

That's okay, they can trade it for a copy of Rage.
No DLC.
Welcome!
Don't be intimidated too much, certain days bring a faster thread. Today's bump is due to the Humble Bundle X debut. Thursday will, assuredly, be dominated by MGR discussion.
And maybe the weekly bundle, if it's any good.

So after realising when pre-loading a game you can only install it to the same device Steam itself is installed on I've decided it's time to move Steam from my primary SSD to my secondary HDD.
Most of my games are already installed on the HDD anyway my only question is will reinstalling steam to the HDD mess anything up?
Would prefer to not risk having to redownload and reinstall so many games.

Weren't there rumors for a while about a popcap bundle? Or did those get debunked?
Welcome fellow GAFfer, don't feel intimidated and feel free to ask nothing you might need help for. During the Winter/Summer Sales is when these threads go too fast but most of the time this is a relaxing place to be and to talk about some games, backlog and so on. Have fun and enjoy your time here!
You can always rename the original dir and then just copy the game directories to your new steam install. The client should find them when it boots. (If nothing else, it'll take a few seconds to "download" the games when you start them
There were, but that was... quite a while ago, before the new system.
Who knows if it's still happening.
You can play with the game on your SSD, then use Steam mover to move the game over to your storage.
There is also a way to set up a junction to fool Steam into thinking the temp folder is on your storage drive.

10 minutes into Starbound....seems interesting and extremely promising.
my computer isn't ready, but my body is. RAM delivery has been rescheduled for a 4th time. Damn you, Polar Vortex

It looks like Humble got a few more Starbound keys for those who paid more than $9.99 and missed the cut. Check your page to see if you're one of 'em.

Oh god. I made a short pause from playing To the Moon and noticed I won Surgeon Simulator 2013 from you. Thank you!

Welcome! Yeah, the thread is certainly motoring along at the moment (6000+ posts in four days or so? We'll need a new thread in a week and a half at this rate), but jump in anytime - not many posts get missed, and if you have any questions or opinions to add, someone will always be around to read it and respond etc (and if we don't, post again!).

Oh god, I would win the same game twice in the same day after a bit of a drought. Feel free to nuke my Runner 2 key and use for another giveaway, Rahknar! Sorry dude.
