They have Battle.net keys, which is always a flag for me.

I think there's a big difference between Simplygames, who take CD keys out of UK retail copies, and Russian sites that are banned here. Simplygames definitely don't deal in stolen keys, as their sales are counted by Chart-track in the UK.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Apparently Huntsman is way lame. A friend of mine posted on another forum:

You can't save, and the Huntsman which is basically the "villain" isn't in the game yet. He'll be added in the "halloween edition"..

Simplygames are a legitimate site.

I can link you 50 other cd key resellers that are legitimate. Doesn't change the fact that they are banned on GAF.

EDIT: Also, this is simplycdkeys, not simplygames. Simplygames might be a legit retailer, but simplycdkeys is just a another cd key reseller.

Exactly. Forgot to include that.

I think Torchlight II, Hotline Miami, Lu Mulana (released recently but not to much fanfare), Thirty Flights of Loving, Bit.Trip Fate, Iron Brigade, and Stacking are all possibilities. But I'm sure it'll be something I'm not even thinking about.

Isn't Iron Brigade GFWL tho? It'd be strange if they add it at a Humble Bundle.

Yo. SUPERHOT is super official. It's a first person shooter where time only moves when you do. Give it a try here and then vote/favorite/follow this shit on Greenlight. It's fun and has a ton of potential.

While you're trying out greenlight games give The Yawhg a try and a vote

Simplycdkeys is where you go when you click on 'Digital' on Simplygames.

PSA: Despite Super Splatters being 50% off its cards are very rare and getting rarer by the hour, I just sold my last for 1,29€ and regret not keeping the other two longer. Plus the game itself deserves more attention anyway, so you all know what to do.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

I think we do all have to admit that they picked a terrible name for an above-board business (which operates in a sort-of-grey area).

It's like calling your company "TOTALLY LEGITIMATE LAUNDRY BUSINESS."

I totally agree with you. There was no reason for Fez to join a bundle. Indie devs have to slow down and not devalue their top tier games until they've already been heavily discounted.

I think that the people best able to figure out what is best for Indie devs are the Indie devs themselves. If they feel the need or desire to include their fairly recent and new releases in Indie Bundles, then that is entirely up to them. I don't see how you can argue against this seeing as how most suppositions and assumptions about Indie devs are for the most part based on an almost complete ignorance of their actual individual needs or desires.

Maybe they have come to the conclusion that most people who were going to buy at full price or normal sale prices have already bought the game and most others, like myself, are willing to wait games down until they are hugely discounted, so why not be part of the hugely successful Humble Bundle instead and make a large chunk of money NOW that could be used to further future developments or whatever else they want...RIGHT NOW. There. You have one entirely legitimate possible reason for including a fairly new game in a bundle.

I can see the meeting at Unity Headquarters:

Dude 1: Hey, I made it so developers who are using our engine can offer demos that are as convenient as a flash game, without any compromises to the game.

Dude 2: Awesome. Surely this will never be weirdly flipped against us as a reason to discredit the capabilities of our software.

How's Gun Monkey BTW?

Still dead I guess.

And a repost for the new page:

Buy Super Splatters, sell cards. Despite it being 50% off its cards are very rare and getting rarer by the hour, I just sold my last for 1,29€ and regret not keeping the other two longer. Plus the game itself deserves more attention anyway, so you all know what to do.

That's... not a very good sale.
Also, Gun Monkey devs made it so the game automatical gives you a key to give to a friend when you can't find anyone to play with online, which... should tell you enough.

Was going to complain about the lack of Wet. But then I realized Bethesda never brought that game to PC.

I got some steam keys I would like to give away, I never used modbot before can anybody explain it how to do it.

Send a PM to modbot with the subject line register.

Post the Game title than the key next to it
(Each game needs to be on its own line)

send it to modnot and he'll replay back with a statue you can quote and paste into any thread.

EDIT: I dunno what the hell i'm talking about there. My wisdom teeth meds plus the nice nap I took really messed up that post.

Cool article on VG247 about JJ Abrams reaction to the Star Trek game.

Sorry for the length. Its an interesting article and he mentions working with Valve near the end.

Speaking with Gamerhub, Abrams explained, “The last game, which was obviously a big disappointment to me, was something that we were actually involved in from the very beginning and then we sort of realised that it was not going in a place where we were going to get what we wanted, so we dropped out and they continued to do it despite… y’know. “Y’know”, in this instance, is polite-speak for “it sucked.”

“To me the video game could have been something that actually really benefitted the series and was an exciting, fun game with great gameplay, and instead it was not and was something that I think, for me emotionally it hurt, ‘cos we were working our asses off making the movie and then this game came out and it got, this isn’t even my opinion, it got universally panned and I think that it was something without question that didn’t help the movie and arguably hurt it.”

Despite his dismay at the end-product, Abrams hasn’t gone sour on the idea of video game movie adaptations entirely, as he’s currently working on some projects for Valve. He continued, “I think that, we all know is that anyone who loves video games and loves movies… very, very rarely does a movie based on a game, or a game based on a movie, really work. It usually ends up being something that everyone that goes to play feels like this was a marketing decision made by a room full of people that wanted to capitalise on a title. That’s no way to make a game and no way to make a movie.

“The dream is – we’re working with Valve right now on a couple of projects – is to say okay, despite its existence as a game, despite its existence as a movie, what makes this great? And starting from scratch, let’s make this from the ground up great, regardless of what’s come before.

So I was playing Black Ops 2 just now and whenever I'm in the game neither Teamspeak nor Mumble will pick up what I'm saying. I can still hear other people talking, but nobody can hear me. Once I exit the game everybody can hear me again. Anyone know a fix to this?
