You can sign up for the newsletter/account I believe which should sent it out.
I couldn't dedicate the time to watch it all as it was going on, thankfully the 2 Player documentaries on that one are great too.
Here's a little reminder to myself that talented people are talented.

Yep, it's like 11GB of space required.
Interested in Redshirt, Grimm, Infected and Shufflepuck personally.
After getting Archon and I Have No Mouth this week, seeing Shufflepuck was another blast of nostalgia.
Thanks!
google has a verify time up to 24 hours before,they can cancel any purchase in that time,still need that long time now? New google wallet seems better than before after google checkout closed.
It's amazing how something that DF did to keep up morale turned into such great idea.
Needs a batshit bonkers ending to compete.

Man, when I first saw Redshirt in the bundle I thought that it had something to do with the solid John Scalzi novel, but seems to be an unrelated project, bummer.
Great bundle. For $1? Sheesh, man. So much in there I would've paid $1 for individually. These guys are leaving, like, almost $2.50 on the table.
Does moving from Kiwi to Hobbit constitute a promotion or demotion?

And yet there was no 25% off coupon for Aussie Day. Psh.

Pretty sure I don't have any of the games from the new Groupees bundle, so that's always good.
I'm pretty sure he spends two thirds of his day on Twitter.

I was pretty mood swingy in my last game. I was playing as China, and someone (not Bismarck, but one of his allies) got all aggressive and invaded me. I was all, "China is peaceful! We have no weapons!" and managed to survive long enough to sue for peace... and finish developing chu-no-kus. As soon as that peace treaty was up, I wiped them from the fucking map.
I think I see Nico Robin in there too.
thanks JaseC
Well, you can always give them more if you want to
Dunno. One's small, hairy and looks funny, and the other's... hm.
Thanks for Infected: The Twin Vaccine Jase, I was curious about this one only. One thing I liked is this part: "Customizable Difficulty to set challenges how you like them." Nice, in case the puzzles are too harsh.
It seems that it also includes a behind the Scenes making-of video, always like these!

Thanks for then heads up, the bundle showed up in my profile.
I never had a problem with Google Wallet, and I received the payment confirmation email after less then a minute.
This was a glitch on Groupee's side, they may have had too many transaction to process at once.
Thank you kindly for Aerena, Jase!

listen to the mad man
Rena in that anonymous giveaway is Aerena, Modbot ate the ligatured Ae I'm guessing.

My buddy says he had a ton of fun with it playing local coop with a buddy while drinking some beers when they played on PS3... but I can't speak personally on it. If the netcode isn't schlock and you like brawlers, I don't see whynot?

Have at it...

Thanks Nabs! You know I don't think I played one racing game all of last generation aside from Wipeout. I always meant to, but never got around to one.
Been looking forward to Double Dragon Neon. I know it fell flat when it released before, but too many people I like on GAF have given it a seal of approval. Should be fun.

Enjoy.
Edit: I was hoping the key would activate the DDE, but there are no additional apps in the sub and the store page just says it includes a bonus gift copy of the game... which is true of the standard edition, too. *shrug*

Have fun. RIP Criterion :*(.
So I finished Splinter Cell Blacklist this morning, did everything except the forced co-op only side missions. If you've seen my previous posts about the game over the past few days you could probably guess that I didn't really like it all that much. I have to say it was a noticeable improvement over Conviction, but the fact that the game was basically still trying to be Conviction but with better level design is the reason why it still wasn't a good game. The side missions are basically multiplayer maps made for single player/co-op purposes. Each person of your team gives you a different kind of mission but they're basically just Conviction's modes renamed. You've got wave based survival (UGH!), infiltration missions where you can't be spotted at all, take out X enemies missions and something co-op only related (the one I haven't tried yet).
As for the actual gameplay as I said the level design was a nice improvement over Conviction but we're still not quite up to the older games' standard there. The game overloads you with gadgets and supply caches that refill everything so that you never come close to running out of tools. Combined with how few guards are in each "section" of the level, it results in a pathetically easy game even on perfection with all the radar stuff turned off. I didn't even use the mark and execute crap either and still had no issues. The quality of the main story was decent but there are several forced action parts that are atrocious and do not belong in a game like this. Stuff like using a drone to take out 40 enemy vehicles in a high profile chase and a part where it changes to first person view and you're strongly encouraged to play it as a FPS.
This game probably could have been much better if they didn't try to design it for 3 different playstyles. In great stealth games your only option should be stealth and you then provide various stealth options in the levels. They clearly struggled trying to make a game to satisfy people like me and the typical shooter crowd at the same time. Sooner or later you have to make a choice Ubi, and since these games continue to bomb in sales then you may as well focus on the crowd who is still interested in stealth games.
4/10

I heard somebody's humble purchase with google was canceled after 24 hours (keys were disabled?),and there're 24 hours verify time words on FAQ that time,that is old google wallet.I can't find some words about verify time from new FAQ.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
See, this is what I don't get and loads of people do this. If you don't like it, why continue playing?
Nothing personal, just curious.
problem: I purchased the humble bundle civ deal. When I added them to my steam library Civ 4 and all the dlc appear twice in my library. However only one 'version' seems to work when I click on the other one it says this game is not supported by your platform.
How do I remove them from my library?

You can't; the unusable entries are incorrectly-flagged Mac apps. Best you can do is throw them into a junk category.
