Weird, I was wondering why this site I'm looking at is selling MW1 for "Mac" then.
Funny how that is literally the only exception to the rule.
At least Activision is changing their ways with MW2 and MW3 getting converted to Steamplay.
Antitrop telling me I need to replay MW1 for the campaign is tempting me to pick it up, would seal the deal if the game had achievements.
Spares:

Thx for HotK!
Cinders is good I think. Was in that Polish Gamesrage bundle too. The rest? ....
PS A new (European) football themed table was just released for Pinball FX2. And PvZ is only a matter of time now.
Sweet. Thanks for Hero Siege!

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.
Yeah, greenlit titles have continued to get worse and worse.
Nice to see Battlepillars greenlit, as people in the official group will get the game for free once it's released (hope you all joined before today!). Also Millinium has been in about a thousand bundles, but it'll be interesting to see how they handle bundle keys since "(The whole series)" is being released and most bundles only had 1 or 2 games.

Only if you vote for Derrick the Deathfin first! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=121170382
was Dysfunctional Systems from a bundle?
Indiegala
Same issue Cognition had...
Danmaku Unlimited2!!!
finally
Fuck yea!
Music-wise it's better than Ikaruga.
Splatter was in a Groupees, Cinders was in Gamesrage and Millennium has been in multiple bundles
game i'm most excited about is the ghostbusters one though..

I hope they handle it differently than Cognition did.

Thanks for the help all 4 of you! Although they should really make that more intuitive.

The developers stated on twitter that early access can start once they were greenlit, so great!

That's good news! Nice.
thanks
Wonder if Woolfe - The Red Hood Diaries is any good, environment looks kind of cool from the video
Thanks for the game JaseC.
ARC Squadron looks like a good enough improvement over it's mobile version that I may pick it up.
Battlepillars was a fun demo last I played for a simple strategy game, but I'm getting the Steam key for free, so not much loss there if it's bad.
Cinders as far as Visual Novels go looks okay. My girlfriend wants it at least and anything to test out Family Sharing.
Circuits is SpaceChem if they used music instead of the table of elements.
Daina: The Herbarium is a beautiful looking game art style wise, just about all hand drawn they say, and will be good to play with my daughter.
Danmaku Unlimited 2 was a fun indie shoot-em-up on mobile and will be even better on Steam.
Galactic Princess is another I might get just for it's sprite artwork.
The Last Cargo is a horror game that I've heard a lot of praise for, as well as it's handling of religion, so that's worth a look.
Pulse Shift is a puzzle platformer full of good ideas, though somewhat lacking in execution. Still, worth it to just try something along it's lines, hoping for a better future.
Ultionus: A Tale of Petty Revenge, already talked about it before, but I like it in the retro Amiga, ZX Spectrum, SEGA Master System style action platformer shooter with enemies constantly respawning. It's not great, but I had fun beating it on Desura.
This thread gets the most news, such as Uplay, SquareEnix, SEGA Store, Windows Store, Amazon, GMG, etc due to people noticing things on http://isthereanydeal.com/#/ or through a feature on Enhanced Steam.
Occasional big sales get their own threads, such as an Amazon Winter Sale.

Anyone figure out how to get the free Thief Gold code from the giveaway site?

This is all I get, the code doesn't even show up under Inspect Element

For those who might want to check out some Greenlight gems but don't like wading through the whole service, I have a curated collection:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=179798494
It's got 58 games right now, and I add stuff as new stuff comes in and remove stuff as it gets Greenlit.

Heh, I know that feel
. I've only had this gaming capable pc for less than a year and I'm just over 200 games in my Steam Library now. However, I've now got over my initial enthusiasm at adding games for nothing or almost nothing and have been very circumpsect with the last 2 sales and where bundles are concerned too. I'm trying not to add games to my backlog but it can be a very hard resolution to stick to sometimes. It's not helped by becoming utterly obsessed with XCOM EU until I manage to complete Classic Ironman! Enjoy the honeymoon period!
I'm unable to nuke a key via modbot. I attended three giveaways for Gianna Sisters yesterday and won two of them. I checked with the owner of the key that I can give away the key on my own but I'm unable to nuke the key.
I'm following the instructions, naming the title of the message "nuke these keys" and the content is: https://www.humblebundle.com/gift?key=abcdefghijk123456
When I want to give it away later on I'm still receiving the message:
Error: The key you tried to add for Gianna Sisters Twisted Dreams failed because it was already in ModBot and marked as taken from an earlier giveaway. If you are 100% sure you wish to re-submit this key because it is not taken, please read the help thread under 'I accidentally took a key I didn't want' and follow those instructions before re-adding.

I see HL2 got an 5.2MB update
...
come on, make the joke

As usual, I'm working on a list of the recently-greenlit games that have previously been in bundles.
No worries.

Yeah. I got a code there yesterday, before I posted it in this thread and the site got overwhelmed. It would give you a voucher for Amazon. Looks like it doesn't work anymore for now.

I go there checking the list and "Influent has been Greenlit!" so, yeah.
Edit: Also Pitiri 1977 and RymdResa.
Boo. They bribed their way in.
I ran into the same issue last year. For whatever reason the nuke command doesn't work on URLs; Stump needs to do it manually.
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
Yeah nuking URLs is tricky, sorry, I meant to try to fix that up but I haven't yet.
If you want to give the key away again, just append & to the URL in the new giveaway:
IE http://www.humble.butt/key.cgi?donkey=kong -> http://www.humble.butt/key.cgi?donkey=kong&
That'll get it past the dupe filter.
It does work theoretically, it just expects a character-for-character exact match and that can be difficult to achieve if the original key had URL tags or the nuke PM adds URL tags or there's any punctuation confusion. It works poorly, in other words

So, Square Enix is considering bringing more games in the Final Fantasy series to PC.
If they end up porting or re-releasing IX, I'll buy immediately. Hell 7, 8, 11, and 14 are the only ones on PC right now. Re-release any of the others on Steam and I'll buy again.

Finally made it to Olmec for the first time after 50 or so hours. So many bombs, much jetpack, wow. I got so close but he stunned me and then I was a pancake.
Can I sticky bomb him directly or do I have to drop him in the lava? I tried to get him in the lava, maybe 3 layers away from it too.

Plague Inc: Evolved is coming to Steam Early Access tomorrow. Seems like another game ready to have the "overpriced port of a mobile game" tag applied to it.
I really like the mobile game though, so I'll probably pick this up when it goes on sale.
