Indie Gala's website is surprisingly under-polished considering they were one of the first "big" bundles. I still consider Humble to be #1, though they're not being too humble lately. I haven't really paid much attention to Bundle Stars, but maybe I should since some of you are complimenting it.

You'd think with having the Doctor Who adventure game on there, the current Groupees bundle would've reached $100,000 seeing as it was only available to UK IIRC...

Has there been any news about anything happening after Episode 5?
 
I cannot guess, there are too many possibilities:

Well :

Standard

Antichamber
The Swapper
Gunpoint
Monaco
Guacamelee! <-(Too soon)
The Bridge <-(Probably not Humble enough)
Incredipede <--(Too small for Indie Bundle X)
Anodyne <- (Was in a Bundle before but not in Humble. But also too small.)
Tetrobot and Co.
Joe Danger 1 + 2 <- (Not sure about these 2)
Bit Trip Runner 2

BTA

Spelunky <-(Too soon)
Gone Home <-(Too soon)
Kentucky Route Zero <-(Not all Episodes are out yet)
Toki Tori 2 <-(Probably not BTA)
Papers, Please <-(Too soon)
7 Grand Steps <-(Probably not humble enough)
The Splatters <- (See above)
Rogue Legacy <-(Would fit)
Sang-Froid
Dont Starve

Finally, Everyday Genius: SquareLogic is mine.
20000 puzzles, here I come. <3

Prior to the publishing rights finally reverting back to TrueThought last month it was available as part of the MumboJumbo Collection. That was a nice surprise.

I'd really like to know what went on between TT and Mumbo. TT thought it had the rights to the game back in mid-2012 but evidently this wasn't the case.

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.
I think my one Steam sale regret is not picking up The Secret World when it was $10. Now Amazon has it cheaper, but it's not Steam (which means, I'm not buying).

Looks like a fun game.

Yeah, I'm regretting not have bought it before. Now I can't even buy it on Steam, apparently is not available in Latin America.
 
But you're a kitty, not a panda.

:( Why can't I be both?

Why not both?

Also, Rhaknar that's an amazing giveaway, obrigado! :)

LOL <3

Crysis 3 for $5, do I bite GAF? Yes I know it's an Origin key, but surely it'd be worth it for $5 at least.

I got it 'free' when I bought this pc due to the AMD GPU. It was okay but the fact that I got all the way to the final boss and then couldn't be arsed to finish it probably tells a tale.

Ok, as you may know, I'm about to build my first PC and I'm super involved in checking prices and searching deals, and you know, the usuals.

Being a complete ignorant in this matter, I posted a list of stuff and some questions on the proper thread.
But, as I trust you (
also I'm a total scumbag spammer
), I'd like to ask you the same everything I did there (without copying the post as it's pretty long and super off topic):

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=95834740&postcount=111

Every answer will be super really very appreciated and awarded with a french kiss by my avatar in the very person.
Thanks!

Well in that case, make sure you ask ModBot. He likes tongue.

What? He does, Stump told me!

Truthfacts.

I've been up for about a day and a half now. I'm actually a little worried that I haven't been making sense. :p

Reminds me of a few days ago :/. The 14 hours of sleep to catch up was glorious! :D

Hello reminder my old friend

So, I have 5 euros burning on my Steam Wallet, so I wondered I would do a giveaway. But because I don't know what to giveaway, I'll let you decide!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/19C...xrLoldqfl-i4U/viewform#start=publishanalytics

Introduce there your GAF username and the game you would want. If I can get it cheaper than 5€, I'll make a giveaway for it. It doesn't have to be on the Steam Store, I can trade keys for it so from russian traders or thanks to other websites might be cheaper.

I'll let this form 24 hours so y'all can answer it, and I'll try to do reminders.

Damn Steam is consistently getting close to 8,000,000 users now.

The thing is that they are not showing in game numbers on their site, but SteamCharts has the number over 2,000,000. That's also a pretty healthy number.

Man, I just cannot figure out the last puzzle I need to reach
- 124 -
orbs in The Swapper. Sleeping on it didn't work this time. I think it may be unsolvable... :)


jmizzal: Sorry about that. I don't know how it could be used, as far as I know my others worked, but I sent you a PM.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
First wintersale period game finished; Castle of Illusion. Really charming platformer, glad I bought it. Couple more things to collect, i'll try get 'em, they don't look too hard. Besides, it's about time I get a 100% achievements on a steamgame. :p

Gave me the same "happiness boost" as the last two Rayman games. Very lovely. Looks beautifull as well.
Great voice-over, too. Kirkhope's soundtracks was a but dissapointing.
The last boss was a pain, though. Last phase was quite disorienting.

Bought it for 3,75. Well worth it. If you like platformers or are a big Mickey Mouse fan, even if you kinda suck at them like me, i'd reccomend it. I know this is going to sound cheap, but don't pay more then ten bucks for it, since it is kind of short. Some people finished it in an hour, it took me five. But then again, i'm a slow gamer. Most of the time.

But... they made Revelations 2012 better... They added a whole new Cast with whole new Weapons (Not). But those Voice Actors are godly (One is moaning when HE is picking something up)

there is a local nginx reverse proxy running that intercepts the Steam web traffic and injects the appropriate javascript. It's not just working on the client, but in any browser, including internet explorer.

It's basically a local man-in-the-middle attack. Except the "man" is you.
So I'll be able to use the latest version of Enhanced Steam with Opera 12? Whoa.

Weak. Lost my Valdis Story save. I was playing earlier and it froze up with Autosave on the screen. Waited a few minutes and nothing happened, pause menu worked so I quit out. I had already started over because I wanted to try both characters, and I lost both saves. I was about three hours in on the further save, had just beaten the
first demon boss that you fight a second time, and escaped from the collapse
.

It's perfect. This would be good for budding developers about what not to do

:( I have had that happen to me several times over the last few days with XCOM. Lost several hours progress at one point which did not improve my mood!

My Humble guesses:

Dust: AET. (Mac/Linux/PC)
Guacamelee. (Mac/Linux being tested)
Papers, Please. (Linux being tested)

I could keep going, but there's no way this bundle could be so good. Right?

Guacamelee and Papers Please are too recent to be in a bundle. Besides, Papers Please is still selling very well on sales at -50% discount, so I think its time to be in a bundle is still way off.

I posted my guesses somewhere in this thread but I can't be bothered to look for them. >_<

These small indie devs rush too quickly to bundle for that quick revenue spike. Spend a couple sales at 75% off before you move to bundle.

Its probably very tempting to get that money so quickly though.
