I'd be in.
Looks like this'll be my first Groupees purchase. I've been waiting for Redshirt to drop into "impulse buy" range. It doesn't get much lower than $1.
I believe that one's a Desura key, if that helps?

in the Groupees bundle, that isn't the deluxe edition of Aerena by any chance is it?

Appears to be the regular edition. Certainly, that's the version that's in my inventory.

I think I should replay Psychonauts one day. I don't have a 360 but I still have my original Xbox, and for some reason when I was in college like 4 years ago I bought an Xbox copy of Psychonauts. I went in with high expectations because the game has received a ton of praise, so maybe that's why I found it underwhelming. It was fun, but nothing special. I was expecting something spectacular. My fault I guess.
Plus, I never ended up beating that fucking Meat Circus level. Fuck that level.
Have at it!

Controlling an army of David Lynchs leading them into a film festival to take over would be a wonderful game to be sure.
That was it, thanks.

There are some interesting pictures of this game online:

Not quite hentai, but probably closest on Steam so far.

Rockstar Table Tennis I think had some crossover appeal.

I wish Rockstar Table Tennis was ported over to the PC. Too bad we couldn't get a campaign going for that.
Wow. Thanks RelaxMX for the unexpected gift of that Aerena game.
I'll try it out one day I promise.
With the success Sumo has had with Sonic Racing Transformed on PC I would rather Sega Superstars Tennis.
Rockstar can port me Red Dead so I have one less game to get on my dusty ps3.

It would be interesting to see the gender breakdown of the 8 bajillion copies of GTA5 sold. My sister's interest in a game skyrockets if she can play a female, but my GF doesn't seem to have a strong preference.

I haven't played it myself yet but supposedly Bonnie was a strong and well liked female character in Red Dead Redemption.

Nah. The Witcher and Dragon Age are more hentai than this game

Zombie Multiplayer Soccer, controls inspired by QWOP and Surgeon Simulator, and native OR support. It looks pretty interesting from the trailer.
Well, this is from the game:

Forgot about the nudity in Witcher 2. I didn't play that much of it.

Well, Bonnie was a damsel in distress (she was kidnapped and almost hung to death in one of her missions). Likewise, John's wife was a prostitute (who married John) prior to the game's events.
Supposedly I won a beta copy of it that would turn itself into a final game key on the Humble Store. Time to check it out.
Fake edit: Yes, got a key. Woohoo!
You may want to read the difference between hentai and ecchi.
They're still above the majority of Rockstar's offerings though.
GTAV was rather disappointing for it though. I mean there wasn't really any major female characters outside of the Wife and Daughter, and even they weren't in that many missions.
Yeah I haven't played either of those, but it's nice to hear that they aren't entirely neglecting a certain demographic.
Your sister might find the Saints Row games appealing. Yeah it bugs me more than it used to for some reason. As I get older, I find it harder to put myself into the position where I can enjoy the power fantasy aspect of gaming when I'm playing a male character. Although I can make exceptions if I play a male character I find physically attractive, which I imagine is similar to the experience guys have when playing games like Tomb Raider.
For character-based games, I think they try to appeal to either the power fantasy sensibility (Halo), or the sexual attraction sensibility (Tomb Raider), although some games are able to get around that by having a silent/visually ambiguous character (earlier versions of Samus Aran I suppose, and FPSs where your "character" is a generic-looking arm). And depending on who you are, some games will appeal to neither sensibility -- I would put Darksiders in this category -- I can't really put myself into Death's shoes, nor do I find him attractive.

Honest questions here, because I haven't played it: Was Bonnie's main role to be someone that the player has to rescue? If so, she was definitely a damsel in distress - the story revolves around rescuing her. If she's an otherwise competent character who gets into trouble and needs bailing out at some point in the story, rather than just a "rescue object", I don't think she qualifies.
She's more of the latter, imo. She gets herself into a bit of trouble, but she lends a hand to John too in her own ways.

She has a much larger role than to be a damsel in distress. To call her that is dismissive to the effort put into developing her character.

and they were mostly fuck all annoying
I see nothing wrong with Ultionus: A Tale Of Petty Revenge at all. As action platformers with shooting it's actually quite decent in the retro (late age) ZX Spectrum, Amstrad, Amiga, NES, SEGA Master System style of stiff jumps, stand still and shoot, constant enemy respawn, etc.
It's by no means an exciting game, a decent shoot-em-up at section and the rest the action platformer that both stand firmly in the "been there, done that" category, but competent all the same and as a gift or cheap bundle purchase I say it's worth it. It's better than replaying Zillion II at worst.

I know I'm hours late with this (good morning, SteamGAF), but gee, Child of Light looks wonderful. I see a play-through of this in my future.
Also, Aerena is quite good, and getting better. Well worth a look if you're at all into turn-based tactical thingies, or chess, for that matter. Devs are currently working on adding trading cards etc, too, for what that's worth.

SA2 already runs at 60fps. Not sure about SA1.

lol, I'd buy that.
That's awesome news. Everybody who has access to this and a setup to use it should try this out at least once.
No More McDonalds sounded like the most fleshed out idea to me but... zombies. Ughhh. I guess Little Pink Best Buds will be what I vote for.
As to the prototypes I like the sound of half of them. Just trying to narrow down what I'd like to play a full version of. Might take a while.

It's kinda lame that 2 of the Pendleton Ward prototypes are iOS (cupid/jerry)... I think the other two would be PC, but I'm not really in love with either of those ideas...
What to vote for? Hmmm. :\
