I'm not. I'm pining for a good Jedi FPS. Or a new Mechwarrior.
Hey - anyone ever seen this: exactly one of my cards refuses to sell. Either through the client or enhanced steam.
Steam is telling me that either I no longer have this card or I'm not allowed to sell it.
Yet I sold a bunch of other cards just fine after it told me that and in the same session. Just that one card isn't going.
edit: oh wait, I'm also pining for a new Star Control. Stardock better not fail me.

Aura: Fate of the Ages --MB-B4A0A21BBF97F53E- Taken by nightstorm
It does look pretty good but I just hadn't seen any pre-release coverage at all. I can't figure out how it went from unknown to #1 seller on release day at full price. If I just missed beta hype or something it would be a lot more understandable than everybody just randomly deciding to buy this game at the same time.

Thank you for Safecracker: The Ultimate Puzzle Adventure.
This was unexpected. Graphics don't seem promising though.
Managed to pass 1000 games with the latest Humble Weekly and there is no better way to celebrate than with a raffle with some games.
Keys should all be unused, but if they aren't I'm really sorry.

how low spec we are talking? because if you really mean low, not gaf standards low than no for 6, could run 5 most likely, if gaf low then both.

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.
Get used to it.
As best I can tell, this trend doesn't really slow down until you own over half of everything on Steam.
Also, if you haven't already, I'd suggest the Enhanced Steam extension. Makes things really handy for finding the best prices on games you want. Since you're new to the world of Steam, I'd suggest paying attention to the historically low prices it displays. How low something has gone in the past is usually a good indication of how low it can go again.
Amazing giveaway.

unless you're really wanting to play the newer games, you should try and get 3 off of GOG instead (although it's not on sale right now but just saying you should save your money)
These past days there were amazing bundles for a very low price. Not only many games but also, good ones. It's coming to a point to me, that, it's not even a matter of spending or saving 1/$ but if I even want to add more titles to my Backlog collection.
While I'm having great fun cleaning my collection, if I add say 3 games and I'm playing one that takes me about 20-30 hours to finish it then it's indeed the never ending Backlog. I like to have at least one side console as a companion to PC. It's not a must but depending on your tastes it's a nice extra to have. The better part is, unless you want to play with every single option maxed out, you really don't need a high end PC to play the equivalent of PS360 titles but with a better look and on 60 FPS.
And March has not even started... It's crazy! I must admit, it's good that I've become much better at budgeting but even if money wasn't a issue, time will always be. Either way, at this point there's always something for someone no matter how different your taste is or how big or small your wallet is.

Yeah, I'm gonna install Enhanced Steam when I build my new rig.
Amazing raffle, no idea how you gusy amass so many extra keys but i'm not complaining
SO glad I bought LEGO Marvel on the cheap last week, loving this game. Playing it in bursts between Witcher 2 sessions, it's a nice contrast
Um back when I first played Heroes V, I was rocking a Core 2 Duo as I recall. In the later campaign maps, each AI turn would take upwards of a minute (each) to take their turn. It got almost unbearable to take a few seconds to do your turns, then spend ages waiting for the AI.
Freedom = $1.05

I'm relieved that the weekly humble bundle isn't my cup of tea. That backlog isn't going to play itself

Awesome giveaway!
Awesome giveaway!
I wish trailers would actually show gameplay. But, interested anyway. Always down for more co-op.
Thanks for Reus, man! Appreciate it.

Thanks! I shall use it to attempt progressing my climb to 500. I particularly hope I win Two Worlds II, Deadly Premonition, or Ravensword.
You mean the design or the speed? I bet it's much faster in Japan.
Orion: Dino Horde is $0.99?
no.

Trying hard to wait for a sale, but it's going to be tempting.
