I'd recommend checking out Frogatto and Friends on the indiegamestand (pay what you want and vote on greenlight http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=181850301&searchtext=frogatto). 2D platforming SNES style.

Ta, not sure what happened there.
GamersGate's new Daily is 75% off Dogfight 1942 ($3.75).
Thanks for this, not tempted anymore
I bought Poker nights instead (><)
Midweek is M&M franchise, sweet deals, not steam though.
It's currently PWYW over at https://indiegamestand.com/
Get a Desura key for a 1 dollar or 1.5 + soundtrack etc. No idea if you get a Steam key if Greenlit.
Edit: According to the Devs you will get a Steam key.

Yeah very SENS.
Not much, but hopefully someone can get some enjoyment out of it!

Ride 'em Low is on its way. Despite having a rather low app id and releasing in 2010, as far as I can tell it's never been up on the store until now.
I agree. If you want to keep playing games, you should lower your standards to the bare minimum. Story? UI? Pfft, go watch a DVD if you want a good menu! If I could have it my way, every option would only be accessible via console commands or launch parameters. And no subtitles, of course; what is this, a fucking book?
How entitled do you have to be to want a better game? Can't you, like, just change your hobby because I say so?
Sorry to double post, but here is another spare key I found in my stash

Dear RionaaM,
In future please try not to post things that might lead to my mid-morning coffee attempting to force its way down my nose. It is not a comfortable sensation.
Kindest regards,
EF
Anybody played Lilly Looking Through already? Is it fun?
Why so fast? (><)
You expect to be selected?

Drinking coffee? Who do you think you are, Alan Wake? "Oh, a coffee thermo laying in the middle of a forest, Imma go pick it up!" Dude, here we drink mate. Mate, you hear?
Well, I have no idea, since Valve's said nothing about the selection criteria other than that "30 or so" machines out of the 300 will be earmarked for particularly helpful community members. I have as good a chance as anybody else who falls outside the aforementioned umbrella, I suppose.
Edit: But I do think 3-4 weeks is sufficient time to select the pool, particularly since Valve expects to ship the machines to testers before the end of the year.
I'd like to think that they don't announce it and just send you an email with a strongly worded NDA clause you have to sign and asking for your delivery address.
You kinda deserve it too, yes
I would hope the criteria for the beta isn't just to own everything.
I think Valve will make a general announcement that testers have been selected and those folks be free to tell people as much, but, yeah, beyond that I assume there'll be some sort of NDA involved.
Edit: It was discovered that the Hardware Beta badge actually has three levels; the logical conclusion is that it's for testers.
They probably will be given to moding crowd, no?
You kinda deserve it too, yes
I'd imagine input into discussions, both on game hubs and over at SPUF, will be taken into account, too.
I play games, too! Sometimes!
I'm at 24 now... patience is the key I guess.
Yep, no announcements, just users suddenly posting their new steam machine they received from Valve, is how I envision it goes down.

Sir, I am duly chastened. I was forgetting about the Official Beverage of the 2013 Steam Thread(s). Though to be fair, it was a damn fine cup of coffee, especially with that slice of cherry pie.
You already entered your delivery address with the beta opt-in form.
What criteria would you use?
I think it's either lottery, or selecting those making games better and contributing to community or those contributing to Valve's well-being.
I'm at 23. We surely suffer the same fate (><)

Wow, congrats!
I currently let all games with trading cards running idle at work to obtain the booster pack eligibility for those.
I didn't get it. Just saying that's what would happen
The customs fee would be insanely high for something like that. I can't imagine how much it would be.

Valve has a subsidiary in the luxembourg, which is a part of the EU and there are no custom fees within the EU

I imagine the beta selection process will look something like this:
At the end you get your steambox.

Gaben being played by Gene Wilder is kinda trippy
Ooh, didn't know they had a European base. I don't want to get excited, but ripping a Titan out of that and sticking it in my PC is something I would do. Something like 1/2000 chance right. Fingers crossed.Valve has a subsidiary in the luxembourg, which is a part of the EU and there are no custom fees within the EU

Maybe there's a line in the agreement you signed forbids you to do that.
Lol, I'm sure there is and I am also pretty sure I won't be getting one since you know the odds are a little insane.

Great. Now I have an image in my head of Valve being staffed by oompa-loompas, who spend all day singing songs about the most obnoxious users on their community forums. No wonder we're still waiting for HL3.

Valve is a magical place~
I'm guessing beta testers will be able to keep their machines and will be free to do whatever they wish with them once the beta period is over.
Edit: It'd be amazing if testers were given the Steam Master sub. The first game I'd play is Wheelman.
