This works

+1 on this

Ok will try it out now

So are the HB games all together or are they separate this time? I have them except for Tower Wars (which I don't want) and the rest of Trine 2 (I have vanilla) If they aren't all together, perhaps someone got the bundle but had Trine 2 Complete....

separate; there's been like 20 copies given away so far so i'd just enter into one of the draws personally.

 

[delirium]

Hmmm.. Steam Family sharing. One more step to selling old games?

Separate keys.

I finished Papo & Yo recently and really enjoyed it.

I came off of finishing The Saboteur which super overstayed it's welcome, and had me regretting finising it by the end, but Papo & Yo helped bring my spirits back up. Amazing soundtrack, and a lot of fun to play. It lasts the perfect amount of time too. You guys who've been sitting on it since the summer sale should get into that. It's gorgeous too:

 

[liezryou]

Been lurking the forums for a long time and finally decided to get myself an account. I would like to thank everyone for keeping me up to date with steam news and keeping me generally entertained.

Also free games.

Entered for incognita, hope i win!

 

[honorless]

separate; there's been like 20 copies given away so far so i'd just enter into one of the draws personally.

To add to this, it seems to be relatively uncommon to get a single key for multiple games these days. Generally you only see it with single-developer/publisher bundles (ex: the Deep Silver bundle had a single key for the BTA games)

I wouldn't expect to see it much outside of that scenario anymore, since it takes longer and there's more hassle involved in creating bundles with Valve than it is to just request a shitload of individual keys from devs/pubs.

ok so it's correctly calculating the cutoff for the throttle, but not correctly calculating past wins for the global throttle.

The daily, weekly, and monthly throttles are working, why is the base throttle not?

 

[liezryou]

OK that's proof the throttle isn't working :/

lol 3 x 2 winners on that giveaway .

 

[Kifimbo]

Yeah, I'm gonna give one back.

Who's the other Gaffers who wanted Painkiller ?

 

[Dice]

separate; there's been like 20 copies given away so far so i'd just enter into one of the draws personally.

I don't know if people giving would prefer it to go to someone who doesn't have the game at all, rather than just someone upgrading.

[toddhunter]

Thanks RuinKaos for Bientot lete. I'll admit I had never even heard of it before seeing the raffle...but it looks like something I would enjoy.

 

[Infinite Justice]

thanks for Space Pirates and Zombies RuinKaos

 

[Turfster]

Great. Hamilton's Adventure is QWERTY by default, and the only thing I find for turning it AZERTY is "go to help & options, controls". Guess what, that setting no longer seems to exist. I hate today.

 

[RuinKaos]

RuinKaos, thanks for Incognita!

You are welcome. Hope you enjoy the games.

Oh my! Sounds like JaseC's dream date.

The banding in the pipe traversal section of Amnesia Pigs

 

[Stumpokapow]

OMG it was such a bonehead mistake. in the code that marked you as too recent a winner for the global throttle, the debug message that said you were too recent a winner had a syntax error in it, and the way that particular section of code was set up, that syntax error gave you the benefit of the doubt and made you win. *slaps forehead*

Problem solved. Sorry for any givers who feel negatively impacted because someone broke the 15 minute throttle timer. :/

Now I just need to fix the unicode thing for brutal legend.

 

[Retne]

Since I haven't seen someone say it in a few pages thanks Stumpokapow for working on and debugging ModBot. It's made the steam thread a nicer place and encouraged a lot more giving than I'd seen before it's creation. It's also gotten a lot of lurkers like myself to contribute more to the steam thread (even if it's brought out people who spam until they hit 5...).

 

[Cth]

Thanks RuinKaos for Bientot lete. I'll admit I had never even heard of it before seeing the raffle...but it looks like something I would enjoy.

It's a great beach walking simulator

I haven't played much of the other aspects of the game, but it's kinda relaxing.

EDIT:
Whoa.. finally won! Thanks RuinKaos! Traded in my Brutal Legend long ago and wanted to finish it!

Can you tell me who's the other member who wanted Painkiller Recurring Evil ?

 

[Cth]

Any chance I can find out who entered for Sacraboar? I've been in that 2nd place spot and I'd like to pass the key along to them if possible.

EDIT:
Thanks Stumpokapow, hope I didn't mess things up.

 

[zkylon]

so started I am alive and was thinking this game might be pretty cool in survivor difficulty but really the retry mechanic is insane

Not just the retry mechanic, the climbing mechanic and... pretty much everything, really.
Such a pity.

did you send it brutal legend and include the umlaut (u with dots) in the title? if so, that's causing a bug. resend without umlauts.

No Brutal Legend in it. Should I still try to resend?

 

[JBourne]

Don't play survivor on the first run. No shame in normal. I Am Alive just requires a lot of patience and planning. Don't try to play it like an action game. Take your time.

It's not that bad an image.
I wish I'd noticed the Incognita giveaway earlier.
Ah well, it's a shitty day all-round, so what's one more thing?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Fixed umlaut issue. Unicode game titles should work now.

If you had any issues sending over last 10-15 mins or faced the umlaut issue, go bonkers.

 

[JBourne]

Looks like no Paranautical Activity for me. I have the Paypal receipt confirming I purchased it, but it isn't on my Groupees profile.

[RionaaM]

Just finished Dust. Without exaggeration, it's among the best games I've played this year, right there with Deus Ex, Arkham Asylum and Runner 2. So, so good. Man, where did those 18 hours go?

Only 5 achievements left, for which I plan on using a guide someday (1 friend left, 2 challenge rooms with 4 stars and a couple of secret or skill-based achievements).

And I knew I wasn't crazy due to some parts of the game reminding me of Jazz Jackrabbit 2. According to the game's Wikipedia page, "A self-taught illustrator and animator, [Noogy] had previously done artwork and cinematics on Epic Games' Jazz Jackrabbit 2..." Congrats Noogy, your game is amazing.

Not just the retry mechanic, the climbing mechanic and... pretty much everything, really.
Such a pity.

Yup. It looked cool on paper, and even on screenshots. Actually playing it is a drag.

[oipic]

Guess I'll bite on yet another bundle... ~$4.50 sounds reasonable just for Brutal Legend and FEZ, I guess. So, so many bundles, seem to be buying at least one per week at the moment.

(X weekly sale tomorrow, please).
