As I wasn't fast enough to get the prize, will wait for price to drop a lil, as I don't have only 2 games, I think. :(

I own everything in it, but the bundle isn't bad. All of those games are good games, and all of them either haven't been in a bundle before, or have only once a while ago. It just happens that these being good but not really recent games means more probably own them, like me. No regrets!

Sweet, got Starbound for 10 bucks. What was the other stuff? I'll go check now

Edit: Sweet, I wanted Reus!

Pretty decent bundle for me as I actually didn't have a single one of these games
Runner 2 is a must. In fact, I think I'm gonna gift a copy or two here.

Does anybody know how to buy and gift multiple copies of the bundle? Do I buy them all as gifts, or should I buy them for myself one at a time, gift every game and then buy another?

We don't have "get out of jail free" cards, but if we did, she'd have one.
It's not a bad bundle, but I figured something a bit more special would be in the works since it was number 10.

Don't own anything but Reus anyway, so I'll wait until the average sinks back down to $4/$5 (and US Airways finishes refunding me...) and buy in.
 
On the SEGA store there was Typing Of The Dead on sale, I decided to wait to see what was in the humble bundle. Already bought Starbound day-one. I went back now to the SEGA store and the deal it's over. Bummer

Are you kidding me? I didn't even get a chance to buy Starbound ;_; Runner2 is nice though... and I think I'll pick up VOID for $2 at the Humble store. Although they don't have CORE or FAITH which I'm also missing... hmmm, maybe bonus games.

One thing to note is that since its a main bundle they probably (will) add more games in the second week, and with the titles currently there, the potential titles could be promising.

However, I also don't really expect anything newly released, I am expecting good indie games of 2013/2012, as that's what the bundle seems like.

I received an invite for a beta-test of the stress type for Elder Scrolls Online (I never signed for the beta). When it rains, it pours.

Is there a ESO thread around where I could throw the key for someone interested in the game to use?

I am interested :) I also SIGNED up and got nothing. Woe is me.
 
I think maybe I'll just take my money and pick up the Swapper instead. Starbound for $10 gone in a blink and none of the bundle games I don't own interest me (except maybe Joe Danger?). I was hoping for some bigger titles in this bundle.

Joe Danger is great. Especially if you liked Excitebike way back when.

So let me get this straight.
I missed the "premium" 1000 spot tier and it was just a copy of Starbound for $10 plus HBX.
Currently HBX is up and the average is high because of this ($8.64 last I saw).
I own all games in the bundle, but they'll be "adding more"... I'm sure they'll add the other Joe Danger and maybe some Bit.Trip games?

Maybe I'll buy one just to ensure I have copies of the soundtracks and give away the keys in here... stay tuned, SteamGAF brethren.

Meanwhile, does anyone have a suggestion or two for me to play some besides my normal Spelunky/Risk of Rain/Rogue Legacy type stuff prior to MGR:R showing up Thursday? I think I might try to knock Gone Home and To the Moon out soon, since they're short.

--

Also, I find myself still entertaining the idea of "syncing" my x360 and ps3 console trophies/achievements to Steam through SAM. Like the RE5, RE6, Dark Souls platinums and such... at least for now since I can always go back and use SAM to reset them if I ever actually want to *earn* them again. But I find myself thinking of the 80 hours I spent playing RE6 (probably similar to RE5) to get the platinum and I really only want to play mercs in those games or hop on co-op with a friend and not actually grind that stuff out again.

What do you guys think of the idea of doing this -- if you're an achievement or trophy hunter and you've done that sort of thing on consoles, what do you think of the idea of parity on Steam even if you didn't *actually* earn them on your Steam copy?

Ordered while Starbound was available, went while checking out and I don't have a copy. I own everything else.

Says on my page:

At least they're doing refunds.

That's very sound of them, other companies would probably be counting on people like you giving them extra money.

I think we'll see this kind of limited copies tier often now, as it helped to boost price of bundle significantly.
and to think that gog invented it !

I dont really like the rule since there are a bunch of great junior members. And I have seen my share of giveaways from juniors.
