Ack, for a minute there, I thought you guys were talking about one of the levels in Soldier of Fortune II. Also, I could have sworn the shitty sequel (SoF: Payback?) was on Steam at one point...
The front page of the IGBW has a list of currently-active bundles. In addition to the more notable ones you've mentioned, there are a few smaller ones.

Spec Ops getting a Mac version
That's weird. I guess they must be making a fortune in $5 bills.
Yes.
That level was annoying as hell. Thankfully stealth levels were generally avoided later on.
edit: In most later levels stealth didnt even matter either. The singleplayer was one weird mish mash of ideas.
Yes, historically, that's when bonus games have been added.
Damn, and I paid like $16 for it a long time ago and still haven't played it.
I would have never expected a Mac version of Spec Ops, but I'm very happy developers are beggining to realize that there are people with OS X that like to play games.
Is this a new registry?
Quick Look for the Bureau is up
http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-the-bureau-xcom-declassified/2300-7854/
Same registry entry, will be SteamPlay.

Not yet. I imagine we won't be getting a formal announcement until at least a month after the release of the final piece of non-trivial DLC.

I felt that spoilered level really highlighted the broken disguise system more than anything because it seemingly demanded that you engage with the system to get through it (unless I missed a hidden vent) or alternatively stood around and waited for triggered events to play through at which point the "unbroken" disguises would become available.
Having finished it over the weekend I think my score would be higher (an arbitrary 7 maybe?) but I also played on Medium after starting on Hard and dropping down after getting frustrated by the disguise system blocking me from being inventive. On Medium the instinct meter really only gets depleted when using the auto-aim mechanic (and since I almost always tried for knock-outs I didn't need it) and for the disguise "booster", which means that I could leisurely use instinct to survey my surroundings, identify what environmental elements could actually be used, and get around camera problems where I couldn't see which direction someone was pointing. On the whole it made the experience more enjoyable and the larger sandbox levels (particularly the Main Street level) were a boatload of fun.
What's depressing is that broken disguise system really crippled the experience because most of the other flaws (some linear levels, occasional dodgy mechanics) were pretty IMO minor and could be excused if the disguise system didn't result in them being dragged out for so much longer. Fortunately IO did two things really right by that excellent challenge system AND making challenge completion independent of level completion; I think I cleared most of the Chinatown options before actually finishing the level due to the removed the penalty from goofing around and experimenting with the environmental options. Again, for anyone who is interested but hasn't played it yet, do so on medium. Playing on harder difficulties only seems to add frustration, not challenge. I can't even fathom what the hardest difficulty is like unless it pulls a Crysis and completely rebalances the game.
I'll buy it on the next sale, then. I played it thanks to PS Plus and it's one of my favourite TPS this generation. The one with better story, at least.

Not sure if I want to watch this. RPS suplexed the game into solid concrete and I feel the less I know about and expect from the game the more I will enjoy it.
Today's Daily is 75% off To the Moon ($2.49 or $3.12 for the game + OST bundle).
If you don't own it fix that.

That's the exact reason why I finally started using ignore. Which makes me a little sad and it doesn't help with quotes, also you then never know if someone already posted what you are about to post.
Like that Don't Starve now has Steam Workshop support. http://store.steampowered.com/news/11309/
Yeah the stealth bits were not my favorite...
I still have fond memories of that game regardless. I think it's because I like modern shooters, but I hate MMSs that saddle you with AI teammates that constantly rush forward or get in your way. I like being able to tackle missions at my own pace, and without stupid AI bots spoiling my shot. Far Cry 1 was another of my favorite modern shooters of yesteryear.
Do they still make games like that? I guess not.

According to PCGamingWiki, the amount of activations is unknown, perhaps even unlimited.

Everyone should play this game! And I should finish it.

So many hours in SR4 and Bureau that won't count towards time played in the game. Damn you regional unlocks
I like seeing how much I have played.
I once let Metro:LL run in the background to make up for the not recorded time. Should probably have used SAM. Or not cared about it at all.
Still something installed onto your system, sitting in the registry, and potentially causing other issues.

Well yeah, but maybe it's like Securom in Mass Effect 1's DLC, it pretty much does nothing.

That could be a great appetizer for Amnesia one week later. Wishlisted.

Anyone remember Takedown? Apparently it will be released on September 20 and it's published by 505 Games.

Thanks devs, I just had the feeling that there weren't enough games to play right now. You fixed that right up.
I still need to finish the first Amnesia.
This somewhat new trend of atmospheric first person horror adventure games (Outlast, Amnesia, Routine and Gone Home) is something that I'm glad to see. They are pretty much the polar opposite of the action direction many survival horror games have taken this generation.
