Jase, your generosity astounds, as much as your apparent lack of the need to sleep - thanks, as always, for the almighty SaoirseBot giveaways. Cheers mate.

I haven't finished Shadow Warrior yet but I hope it gets the same DLC treatment as Hard Reset. Exile was a great piece of content.

I can count the DLC I have ever bought on one hand, but this would add another finger.

Also thanks Saoirse for Alien Spidy, really wanna check that game out :).

Reus worth the $3.39 the Humble Store is asking for it? Looks interesting.

I enjoyed it well enough. It's not perfect, but a pretty competent God-type strategy game. My biggest problem with the game is that the games are relatively 'small' in scale. You start with a 30minute game, then followed by 60, 90, etc.

You could do a lot worth for $3.50

Thank you super much JaseC for Star Wolves 3!

How refreshing is to get actual keys instead of links to a page where you have to write you data to get an email to open a page and finally to redeem the game?

How strange. Getting a 504 gateway error on desktop site (tried all browsers) but mobile seems fine (albeit laggy). Obligatory Bane quote:

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.
Frozenbyte is at it again.

Free coupons for indie games. I tried 5 and they all stack with discounts, but 4/5 of the coupons I got end on the 25th. The Death Rally 80% off coupon I got expires on 12/1 and stacks.

Additionally, if you buy three games with the coupons they send, they'll give you a random Steam key for one of the games they're promoting.

Speaking of Jade Empire, how is the conversion?
There is my friend who is interested but then I noticed a review on Steam (from some GAFfer) saying it's converted very badly and totally unsupported.
So, is it at least playable or patchable with some mod?

Hey Jshackles when did Enhanced Steam have howlongtobeat times added? Only just started noticing them popping up. At this rate with the sterling work you're doing I'm not going to have to look anywhere but GAF and Enhanced Steam for all my Steam needs.

Now if only Chrome mobile started supporting extentions properly.

HowLongToBeat info has been in there for the last few versions, but I currently have to manually add entries in the database to get it to work. I've got about 350 games right now with info tied to them, and am adding more all the time.

I'm also working on a Firefox extension that is compatible with Firefox for Android.

There's barely five games on the list I don't own, so I asked for five coupons--Toki Tori 2, The Swapper, Cubetractor, Antichamber, and Reus. All 5 expire on the 25th. None are actually any better than past sales though, so unless the games go on sale as dailies in the next week they're pretty useless.

Antichamber -60% = 7.99. Previous lowest price: $6.79
Toki Tori 2 -40% = 8.99. Previous lowest price: $7.49
The Swapper -50% = 7.49. Previous lowest price: $7.49
Reus -66% = 3.39. Previous lowest price: $3.39
Cubetractor -50% = 4.99. Previous lowest price: $4.49

This plus the incredible complexity of the sale is why I simply closed the tab and never looked back.

Speaking of coupons, I have spares for Sequence (50% off, expires 24th) and A New Beginning: Final Cut (66% off, expires 25th). If anyone wants one, they are welcome to them.

...speaking of which, I'm trying to decide whether to switch my CS:GO server to either Killing Floor or Chivalry. I haven't played KF in a couple years, is there anything cool I could do with a server for it? Any new modes/maps that would be worth hosting?

What's wrong with CS:GO?

only games i actually wanted from this were Grimrock and Monaco, so naturally i bought grimrock and 5 games i had no actual interest in, in the hopes of getting Monaco for free. bam, Rochard and Universe Sandbox were my freebies.

ended up spending $13, when monaco and grimrock alone would have been $10. and now i have no monaco. lol oh well

Any way those entries could be crowd sourced so that you could just copy and paste to save time? I'd chip in some entries to help out.

I'm also working on a Firefox extension that is compatible with Firefox for Android.

Aw man. Reason #157 that I wish Chrome had extensions on Android. I'll probably definitely reinstall Firefox for at least the upcoming couple of holidays, depending on release, when I won't be around a computer as much. I'm looking forward to it.

lol. Whoever runs the Darksiders facebook is a bit out of it. Just posted "The Humble THQ Bundle Has Arrived" and a link to the news post for the THQ bundle from almost a year ago.

There was exactly 5 games on that list I didn't own:
- Reus
- Element4l
- Giana Sisters Twisted Dream: Rise of the Owlverlord
- Cubetractor
- Monaco

I bought Reus, Element4l, and Giana Sisters for $10, and it gave me Monaco for free.

Yeah that's the big "gotcha" with random that isn't really random. Digging into their FAQs tells me that they have the games set on a ratio of 3:1. So for every three copies of the game people BUY, they give out ONE copy of said game. So obviously the free games will be much more weighted to the cheaper titles. Their FAQs also state that if you own a majority of the games already, they'll try to match your random key to something you don't own but that because of the aforementioned rule, that doesn't always happen. JoeMolotov is indeed one lucky fucker.

I really wish mobile Chrome had extension support too, even if it were different from desktop Chrome's codebase. I'll hopefully have the mobile Firefox version working by the Christmas sale, probably won't be by next week though. :(

And looking into crowd sourcing the HLTB database, hopefully have something set up in the next few days.
