Just saw polygon's review of eldritch
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBHpEuKxYcA

Game's steam page isn't even up yet, purchasable through their site though
http://eldritchgame.com/#buy

The Steam key you get from Humble Store is already redeemable. The game doesn't show up in the library yet, though.

Oh, and Humble Store owners of Megabyte Punch got Steam keys for their game, too. It's up on the Steam store and in my library.

Jshackles:
Would it be possible to take the top three listings for an item from here:

...and embed them into this window:

So that we can get an accurate look at the going price of an item?

If you're using Chrome you can enable "Show Market Price on Inventory Page (Experimental!)" in the options. As it suggests, it's still kind of experimental, because Valve does some weird stuff with AJAX on the inventory page.

If you check this box then select an inventory item, it (should) give you the current lowest price and a link to that market page. It doesn't average the top three together though, but I could look into that for a future update.

 

[Parsnip]

Thanks for Worms, Parsnip - I will try to do just that (haven't played a Worms title in... years!). Thanks mate.

You're welcome.

Single entry for everything? I think modbot is broken.

Mysterious. Modbot did freak out a little and sent me 10 PM's with the codes back, but I guess that was due to GAF being down a little bit.

some ideas for Modbot for consideration:

- A link to the steam page from the game image displayed in the post.
- Option to use smaller images in the giveaway: such as http://cdn2.steampowered.com/v/gfx/apps/108200/capsule_sm_120.jpg
- Show all images option
- Option to give keys to people who have listed their Steam profile link in their profile. (Not sure if feasible.)

[Kammie]

Not sure if it was mentioned, but Gamefly has Resident Evil Revelations for $9.99 after 20% code GFDOCT20

http://digital.gamefly.com/#!/download-resident-evil-revelations/5005700

Activates on Steam.

For ten bucks I'm pretty tempted. I'm really enjoying going through 5 at the moment, especially when someone hops in for co-op.

Is Revelations intended as a single-player or a co-op romp? Was it designed with two players in mind like 5, or is it just something that's tacked on?

 

[wazoo]

c'mon ubi, learn something from gfwl

you don't have to bother updating when you get rid of it

Uplay is not here to go away. politics behind its creation are very different from the creation of GFWL.

I'm not 100% certain, but I think the co-op was tagged on later (though I hear it's very good).

It was originally released exclusively for the 3DS.

- A link to the steam page from the game image displayed in the post.

This will be happening

- Option to use smaller images in the giveaway: such as http://cdn2.steampowered.com/v/gfx/apps/108200/capsule_sm_120.jpg
- Show all images option

I haven't decided about whether or not to add more capacity to do this. The problem isn't so much the presentation end, but the look-up end. In order to show the image it needs to reference the typed named, search, find the game, etc. So more games = more lookups = slower giveaway generation. And because MB works in a discrete way (one heartbeat per 45 seconds) rather than a continuous connection and processing it's important to keep processing time as low as possible.

- Option to give keys to people who have listed their Steam profile link in their profile. (Not sure if feasible.)

You mean like "entrants must have a steam profile listed to qualify"?

 

[MRORANGE]

That's great.

Ah ok, no worries, I don't want Modbot to fizzle out from extensive look-ups

You mean like "entrants must have a steam profile listed to qualify"?

Yes, in their Neogaf profile

 

[Stumpokapow]

Ah ok, no worries, I don't want Modbot to fizzle out from extensive look-ups

Yeah my only worry is that if, say, a Humble Bundle comes out, and 5 people create a giveaway on the same heartbeat and give away 7-8 games at a time (this is more load than MB normally gets, but it's not inconceivable that this kind of thing could happen), that's 40+ lookups there

Yes, in their Neogaf profile

Yeah I could do this. I am going to do juniors-only giveaways first probably but I could do this.

 

[PandaPedinte]

Thank you for Anodyne Parsnip.

 

[Tellaerin]

Yes, in their Neogaf profile

Any particular reason for that? I'm not too cool on advertising my Steam ID to everyone on the internet, which is why I don't have it in my NeoGAF profile.

[Kammie]

I'm not 100% certain, but I think the co-op was tagged on later (though I hear it's very good).

It was originally released exclusively for the 3DS.

Just did some research, seems the campaign is single player only, but there's a thing called raid mode for co-op. And the campaign supposedly has more of an original RE feel.

What the heck, it's just ten bucks! Ordering time.

 

[Cth]

Is there a chance you could have Modbot archive searches as it performs them?

As in, the first time it looks up BAD RATS, it checks it's own file and see if a link exists already. If it does, it uses that instead of bombarding Steam with searches.

So theoretically, it only does the Humble Bundle search once and in theory by keeping things internal speeds things up a bit?

Of course, the drawback is that it could bloat Modbot with said "database" it builds. I'd imagine you want to avoid doing a database anyways.

Alternately, having Modbot (or one of the Modbot 2, 3, etc) once a week check steam database for entries and build the database for said purposes.

 

[Echoplx]

Hatoful Boyfriend? BOUGHT... in 7 hours.

Woops, probably should have been more clear that only the page was live, edited.

The eXceed games are on steam, and Higurashi When They Cry has been greenlit, anything else?

Oh that would be great, thanks for taking it into consideration.

some gaffers claimed keys for games eventhough they already had the game in their profile or didn't even use the key and just kept it.

I get that error sometimes. Usually a simple refresh and waiting a couple of minutes fixes it.

Close and reopen Steam. Works for me.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Presumably to audit and followup to make sure key claimers are using the keys instead of trading, selling, or hoarding to give to friends.

 

[Tellaerin]

some gaffers claimed keys for games eventhough they already had the game in their profile or didn't even use the key and just kept it.

Bleh. Yeah, I can see where you're coming from with that, then. Though thinking about it, would it really matter anyway? I mean, someone could just list a Steam profile in their info but set it to private. They'd still have a profile on record, but you wouldn't be able to see what games they have.

 

[Stumpokapow]

OK I know this is more OT but do you ever start dating a girl through a cooking-themed dating website and then she comes to your restaurant and you cook her her favourite dish and then like a few hours later she's texting you while you're still at work and you're trying to multitask between like 6 customers ordering steak with bacon powder and then you're flirting with her while she yaps on about some inane nonsense and then after like 3 or 4 dates like this she sends you a message saying she's going off to Art School so she can't see you anymore? Ugh.

Thankfully I passed my health inspection and got a 3 star rating, so that's pretty cool.

I must be blind because I can't find that option anywhere. I ctrl f'd and it said no results.

I wasn't really meaning an average. I was just saying 3 because if there is just one, it could be a crazy undercutter or random price mistake.

True, but it's still a nice option to have, I know Steam offers a web API that can grab details on what user has what games or not, but taht would be going a bit too far.

SPEAKING OF SHOOT'EM-UPS!

You know what would really be cool to have on Steam?
A Psikyo Shoot'em-up collection!

Just wish Japan would stop being such hardasses about PC scene find a way to get some classic collections on it.

As an aside, does anyone know which Humble Bundles had Android games offered?

My wife was looking for games to play on her Fire and I know some of the bundles had Android versions included.

I looked up my HB history and only saw one (HB with Android 6)..

Thanks in advance! And on the off chance someone isn't using theirs I've got a spare copy of Bioshock if anyone wants to trade.
