Lol I didn't get taken advantage of, I simply traded La Noire that was $5, I would do it again. Especially considering the Steam prices for each one of these games are $15.

Still waiting for my email :|
Were you away from the internet for a couple of weeks earlier this month? I'm curious why you didn't pick up the Humble Indie Bundle if you were interested in those games.

You have to chose that option at checkout, it's either or.
I have yet to buy an Indie Bundle, but yea in retrospect I should have bought the last one.

How temporary? It's 4 hours later and I'm having the same problem. Can't play, can't figure out where to install and/or download from.
Space Marine doesn't really require any knowledge of the Warhammer universe.
Yes. Great games.
Think of it as more time for games to receive permanent price drops before they're 75% off.

The only time I had to wait for a key it took about 24 hours.

How's Space Marine? 7.50 seems like a decent price, I just don't really know anything about it other than Warhammer and third-person. Kind of tempted to pick up as a weekend game, but 7.50 is also a cheap-o weekend dinner.
If you like combat that's really pleasing to the senses, it's fantastic. Everything has a fantastic sense of weight, and its one of those games that feels really satisfying to blow orks apart in. It also has a surprisingly robust multiplayer experience.
But if you're the type to play for the story or for a tippy-top of the line super polished experience you'll be a little frustrated.
Yes, I understand that it was worth it to you in terms of the personal value you assigned to those items, that it is no longer possible to buy HB5, and that you're perfectly happy with that trade. But what you're missing is that you will only think that you didn't get ripped off if you don't understand what Humble Indie Bundles are or how they work. Still, not that bad.

I wish it came with a Abe Lincoln Tophat and a George Washington powdered wig for TF2.

XBOX - RECORD ME LOVING DOWN MY WOMAN GOOD
I bought it and I don't really like RTS games much. It's been described as a RTS game for people that don't really play or like RTS games. Like RTS meets RPG with a small outfit of characters or something.
I tried to play tonight but it has taken me all night to download just DoW II vanilla. WTF. Well, maybe it's my fault as I had Grimrock up and running. Shit.
I was gonna hang on to my Serious Sam 3 coupon for during the sale, but I realized my backlog is pretty great and it'd take me a while before I got around to it. However, I've already redeemed it so it's in my inventory, but if anyone wants it I can trade the coupon to them, just PM me.

Seems like it could be at late as the 15th or better this time based on that...
Wait, sales? Plural?
Maybe we're getting a Fourth of July sale instead? Then Labor Day. Maybe Canada Day thrown in there somewhere...
17 Steam summer sales confirmed.

I've already played through Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 on 360, and I just can't seem to bring myself to buy both for $10. 
I do want to play Mass Effect 3 but I'm really not drawn to that world that much, I guess.

It also started today, and yesterday, and the day before that.

So, who jumped on the Avernum sale?

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
I played and enjoyed FF13, Lost Odyssey and absolutely loved Tales of Vesperia. For TLR, the combat is quite enjoyable if a little confusing at first, they don't do a great job of explaining the basics but once you get past the initial hurdle it's fun. The characters are nothing like Vesperia or Lost Odyssyy (I can't stay I like any of them to be quite honest.). The voice acting is pretty cheesy and there are awkward silences throughout all the cut scenes that just make me cringe. The story is somewhat interesting though I'm waiting to see exactly where it's taking me.
Overall, if you can get past the cheesy/annoying characters, you'll like the game.
Edit: I should note that the game has pretty noticeable tearing if you leave V-sync off.
I'm double dipping. It's really deep and I've heard the PC version is leagues better than the 360 version.

Who needs character and story anyway? It's all about the battle system.
I don't know what ground the demo covers, but it felt pretty much the same all the way through. There are some jet-pack sections, but they are (sadly) brief. So if you liked what you saw, it's a few more hours of that.
As far as difficulty: it does get harder, naturally, but it's manageable. Save your special attack (forget what it's called, the hulk out, dish more damage while invulnerable thing) for the big enemies, take note of which weapons are best against what type of enemy, don't stand out in the open unless you are actively killing things, pick your targets, etc. I played it in one glorious sitting and there was only one particularly frustrating section, right at the end, but I had overlooked a really powerful weapon in the environment and with that it went from frustrating to very, very satisfying. I had some deaths along the way, but it never felt cheap.

If I were to purchase something off that list that I already own and try to add it to steam, will it put it in my gift inventory?
