Did you see it in the registry? Any clues as to what is in it?

Yeah, but there are no hints at all.

Also, it seems the price for the BFE Seriously edition of Serious Sam 3 is busted on that site - page says $16.99 but it adds to the cart and processes at the same $13.59 as the regular edition.
Just caught the news. I have it on PS3, but I'm definitely gonna buy this. It's a pretty neat game, sort of a very unusual platformer, but the main attractions are the trippy visuals and the amazing OST: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXYbYMrwqfw

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Whoa. Another numbered bundle? That's surprising.

A nice change was done for the Steam beta client yesterday:
Hmm wonder what the chances of them bring PJM over. Would buy that in a heartbeat.

It's the same people who made the facebook app. So they used their own ui wholesale...
Isn't PJ Shooter getting added too?

Awesome. Can't wait.
It was only added to Steam last November, and has not gone on sale (aside from the 25% off sale it had when it was added). So it's only been a couple months.

That's news to me. Hope it does!

Regarding SPAZ:
Q: "This game looked awesome! Any chance of releaseing a Mac port?"
A: "Yup, it is being developed externally right now and is almost complete. We don't have an exact ETA, but I would assume it will drop within a month. It will also be SteamPlay enabled
The Linux version is also being ported right now."
Answer is done by one of the developers.
So for those on Steam who uses a Mac, it's timely news, since it's the weekend deal. Now there's no guarantee that it'll be less than a month, but at least that's the hope of the devs.
Maybe it'll help someone who was wary of buying it.

I downloaded the app and tried to login as soon as it went live. It originally said "Your account does not have access, but your interest has been noted". A few hours later I got a DOTA2 Invite. Woke up this morning and downloaded DOTA2, about halfway through the download, I got a Steam popup saying that I was invited to the Steam Mobile Beta.

you got in? :-( lucky
Hit me up then! I think my steam name is krillek2? Not sure.
Thanks. I didn't realize it was only recently added. I know the game itself has been out for a while.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Huh, so they're still going with it despite the fiasco during Christmas sale eh?

Definitely looking forward to PJE, played the demo on PS3 and loved it. Unfortunately, my backlog will prevent me from picking this up until a decent sale.
you are one lucky man. i got neither :/

So episode 2 was released in 2007.
2007.
2007.
Just think of it this way... Shenmue fans have had to wait longer for a proper sequel to Shenmue 2...
Come May 25th, it'll have been 6 years since Episode Three was informally announced.
The same is true here in Australia. Came to AUD$13.12 (bought it for a mate so I can finally play co-op).
Yeah same here, I only got the "your interest has been noted" message.
Do you have to have ticked the beta box in the settings in the desktop steam client to be able to get in to the mobile beta?
It's not that long, Team Fortress 2 was announced in 1998 and came out in 2007. Valve's still got a few years before they break that record.
Don't give them something to strive to beat now...lol
I just can't wait to see the engine upgrades. CS:GO's engine looks greatly improved (besides some of the dev team's assets) and Portal 2 amazed me at times in its art direction so I can't wait to see Episode 3. Even if the engine isn't the best looking, their art design makes up for it.
Now I'm re-downloading Episode 2 out of hype.
God I wish Episode 1 had stayed Aftermath, traditional expansion.

It's hard to believe we've been waiting for episode 3 for that long.
