Grant Morrison also described Superman as the ultimate immigrant story. Which is complete bullshit. Superman is the immigrant's fantasy: to move to a new country and raise your child to be a part of the broader society.

Martian Manhunter is the ultimate immigrant story.

Martian Manhunter is the ultimate forced immigrant story. He didn't want to leave his planet, some American just ripped him from his home, explained nothing, and left him with no means of understanding the strange new culture.

Then he goes out, pretends to be other people, learn English from watching television gets terrible addicted to a substance not found in his native land (Oreos), and constantly has to be forced into a role and dress style the natives will find friendly rather than his own.

Howard The Duck is the best story.

So does the lack of BTA mystery games listed, mean that this is all we're getting? No week 2 games? I'm locked into 21.12, so...

Howard The Duck is just the best story.

Yep.
I'm pretty much done buying humble bundles if this bullshit continues.
It obviously can't handle any kind of load.
Also adding 50 billion hoops doesn't equate "easy and quick"

Redeeming for yourself is easier and quicker, gifting is slightly more complicated but it's not a big deal.

You guys need to calm down.

Right. Have to add your email to get a link. Log in to email if you ever get it to claim it. Then open up steam. And also allow HIB to have permission to add agame.

That vs just copying and pasting a code. If you're going to implement the system for a reason don't give people BS about making things easier.

If anyone is having modbot trouble with the new humble keys, can you please:
1) Forward me the PM you sent modbot to generate the giveaway
2) Forward me the key you got from modbot if you won

No it's not.
I'm still waiting for my steam guard e-mail.
It's been almost an hour now.

The original system wasn't broken.

I don't know what you are talking about.

Surely I'm just being honest. Why Scrooge McDuck is the greatest immigrant story. A young boy with just a dime to his name, leaves Glasgow to seek fortune in North America. Self-Made man by taking every job under the sun, from herding cattle to working steam ships to becoming a trick shot showman, all before making his riches through hard work as a gold minor in the Klondike. All of which was before he became the richest man in the world.

How can anyone read The Life And Times Of Scrooge McDuck and say otherwise is beyond me. He fought Teddy Roosevelt!

It took me less than a minute to setup last Thursday and for both that weekly sale and today's bundle I got all of my games redeemed within a few seconds. It's been much faster and easier for me than the normal Steam key redemption system.

I have no idea if I'm doing this right; went digging and found all the keys I hadn't used.

Be forewarned, while most of those keys should be fine, I might have given away one or two, but I think it's all good.

Keep getting "Please try redeeming again later" from my humble account as I'm trying to add them to my steam library. Probably going to try them tomorrow if it's from the site having too much traffic. Could be also though that I changed my steam password 2 days ago, don't know if that affects my steam-humble bundle account linking..

Sorry, I should have taken into account every possible issue outside of humblebundles control when making that statement.
How is this so hard to understand? They added more fucking links in the chain.
More links means more possible points of failure.

It's great that it works for you guys, but you are not everyone.

I said god damn, nice giveaway Doc!

I'm kicking myself for not picking up Amalur and Republic Commando when they were last discounted on Steam.

Republic Commando I made sure to snap up a few sales ago, but god damn you Rhode Island for not kicking Amalur back down. :(

Try unlinking and relinking if that's the case, also did you see my post re: your modbot troubles?

You're not missing much with Amalur unless you like really basic action combat and quests ripped straight out of an MMO (or Skyrim). Plus the level scaling is really weird and maybe even worse than a Bethesda game. If you wander into a dungeon it locks it to whatever level you're at forever. So if you go in 5 levels under for whatever reason it'll still be at that level when you actually have to go there for a quest later on.

I figure I will actually rebalance my life's karma with this. 2013 is one of the single worst years of my life, and the only ray of hope I've got right now is that I might be eligible for food stamps.

But also, what else am I going to do with these keys?
 
Hoping this new key system works

Ok I will try unlinking and linking again thanks. Also I migth have missed your post - I did receive "my full loot stash" pm though but it didn't contain every key that I sent so I got a little confused.

And it worked, thanks.

Thank you very much for your kindness fellow GAFfer, I'm going to enter only for DS3.

I find it funny the amount of posters VS the people who lurk in the thread and how fast it goes when there's a new bundle and giveaways. The best part is, it has become so much more easier to spot who is who. ;)

Either way, amazing giveaway! I can't wait to do another neat one but it will have to wait for now.

Uhh I got key for BAA GOTY from Jads just minute ago, but then I went and purchased WB bundle myself, so anyway I'm giving it back to first one to quote me... sorry couldn't bother to use Modbot for this...

If anyone is having modbot trouble with the new humble keys, can you please:
1) Forward me the PM you sent modbot to generate the giveaway
2) Forward me the key you got from modbot if you won

Could I not tell modbot to do:

Batman AC - W23uzgcv7PWeVDuH

Instead of just posting the whole URL like:

Batman AC - https://www.humblebundle.com/downloads?key=W23uzgcv7PWeVDuH

and just tell the person to add it to the URL?, Is modbot case-sensitive with keys?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Howard the Duck

In a broader discussion about immigrant comic book characters: fair enough point.

Martian Manhunter is the ultimate forced immigrant story. He didn't want to leave his planet, some American just ripped him from his home, explained nothing, and left him with no means of understanding the strange new culture.

Then he goes out, pretends to be other people, learn English from watching television gets terrible addicted to a substance not found in his native land (Oreos), and constantly has to be forced into a role and dress style the natives will find friendly rather than his own.

Howard The Duck is the best story.

Fair enough. However as an immigrant myself, I'll add that most immigrants feel forced into immigrating, too. There came a point in his history that Manhunter could have returned to Mars (and, eventually he even did) but he came back and adopted Earth as his own.
