Where's Strike Force? I know it's not on Steam, but should be there as an exe to complete the package.
First few Commandos are worth getting for any fan of stealth games and enjoys, at the time, well written A.I. Well worth getting just for that filling of success once you've figured out the enemy behaviours and movements and successfully sneak past like a puzzle and/or good reaction skills.
Also plenty of mods for those seeking a more difficult time or different levels.

Not all games, just some "Bundle games" that nobody wants ... I'm not taking away the opportunity to anyone because these games abound unused in this thread ... I still dont see what is the problem...
Can't believe. 5 minutes in my experience with GFWL and already I'm screaming in pain.
Turns out, my GFWL is set to Italian even if my Steam is in English, my Windows is in English, my fucking Xbox360 is in English.
And of course, Dark Souls booted in Italian and I HATE playing in Italian because Italian translators more often than not suck and also I can read English so WTF.
Well. Really nice move MS. Now I'm gonna spend the rest of my time trying to hack a language change onto the game. :/

I was going to make some comment along the lines of "because the world revolves around GAF" but:
That earns BorntoPlay a spot on my blacklist.
Kind of interested in March of the Eagles, but $5 is steep for what I heard is a game really only good in multiplayer.
I think I'll wait for the bonus to be unlocked before purchasing as at this juncture I only need 99 Spirits.

Thanks for the heads-up! First Indie Royale I've bought for quite a while, but for once I don't have any of the games and the Paradox strategies tipped it for me. Electronic Super Joy also looks pretty intriguing, but wasn't that only just released? Pretty surprising to see it bundled so quickly.

Meh, only thing I'd be interested in is Electronic Super Joy so it's not worth it for me.
I'm on the fence for the Indie Royale bundle. Those hardcore strategy games don't appeal to me (though if someone tells me Sengoku is like Sword of the Samurai I'll bite) but I'm interested in Rigonauts and Electronic Super Joy.
Any gaf impressions of those two? Is ESJ stupid hard like Meat Boy?

So I guess the new Train Simulator 2014 trailer is narrated by Sean Bean? lol

We don't see it but I'm sure he actually get crushed and dies by one of those trains...
You're going about bundles are wrong birfday boy. You buy bundles to increase your Steam game count, not actually play the games

Is anyone interested in a 10% off coupon for Shadow Warrior (new one, not the old one)? I have a couple of them and I already preordered the game. Shoot me a PM if interested.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Exactly. You don't get to 1,213 games without buying a few bundles you'll never play.
I'd buy Trains vs Sean Bean.
Are your location/datetime format set to Italy?
It's a totally retarded workaround, but set both to the UK.

At 452 games, I don't really need to increase my game count. Mainly because I'm finally decreasing my backlog so games I get, I actually WANT to play.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Let's get something straight about Modbot abuse: there are levels of abuse and, even if you commit the lowest level and have a million great reasons, you are still abusing a system that has been designed to be as fair and open as possible.
I've entered maybe 5 giveaways total and have won probably 2 games (and one of them was a game erroneously labeled as Bad Rats, which was actually a game I already had, which I gave away again on GAF). I'm in the Steam thread pretty constantly and could snipe a ton more keys if I wanted to, but I already have plenty of games I'm putting off playing and I have the money to buy the bundles I'm really interested in, so I don't.
It certainly rubs me the wrong way to see someone constantly sniping away games from people without any thought of playing them. You are taking away that opportunity from someone else in the community and you can have as many great excuses for this behavior as you want, but it doesn't excuse a constant pattern of abuse.

Exactly! People like Mr. Shackles, Jase, xelios and many others with high game counts get the 'game' of bundles.
Actually, the greatest and almighty Accent made me notice that in DSFix INI file there is an option to override language, so no other workaround needed hopefully!

Rigonauts --MB-4220B7147443C459- Taken by KMD
These kind of games always frustrate me so byebye.
I have to agree with this fine fellow GAFfer. Thank you for this, good sir.
You're calling me out morningbus, aren't you?

Oh. Well, in case you get another attack of temporary insanity and try another GFWL game, try that first next time

Your Steam profile.
Aye, that's me. Sorry, just had to have a bit of fun there.
Edit: Many thanks.
Game of Bundles, coming to HBO in 2014.

If I had the money to support this, no doubt I'd do the same thing. But alas, I'm still waiting for this:

I would love another The Movies but hopefully more detailed in the business end.
I hear you man :/
I asked too but no response. This is the best I can do:

I'm curious about Rigonauts myself.

Thanks for AirBuccaneers. That looks fun.
I don't mind people taking a few games as long as they give some away and always thank the person that gave them out.

Damn Pacman Championship Edition DX crashed when is trying to update the rank in Highway II, and it seems that a lot of people is having this issue (among others issues). I hope they fix it!

I don't know why but this made me laugh. Erroneous is such an amazing word.
Oh yeah, and I also agree with you.
That's why I think a monthly top 10 of takers will be useful. It will also be interesting to have a list with the most gifted games and so on. That being said I think a lot of the regulars of this thread spotted a couple of users abusing the system.
Speaking of, if you visit a Valve employee's games list and type in the likes of Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate, and so on, they'll appear, so at some point Atari did create store pages for its classic D&D titles, but for whatever reason never actually made them available for purchase.
These days we're stuck waiting for Hasbro to pick up where Atari left off.

I'm new to this bundle buying stuff because I was previously unable due to my lack of credit card and motivation to go get one. But now I have a girlfriend who has one and loves me enough to let me use it. How trustworthy are all these bundle site thingies? I've previously used humble bundle and have no complaints besides the fact that it took 3 months for the charges to show up.

One day you will be brought to justice for your crimes.
Man, I miss the L4D days. Seriously the only reason why I'm more excited for L4D3 than HL3 is because we could so easily get the gang back together.
