Good call, I'm pretty sure you're right. Funny thing is, I actually played through it twice, and I still didn't pick up on what the picture was until you mentioned it.

Chains of Satinav is not in fact bundle-virgin territory.

I thought one of the clues was that it couldn't have been in a bundle. Chains of Satinav has been in a bundle. edit^

Well if you want to be pedantic about it, "Humble Weekly Sale" technically does not have the word "bundle" in it.

Edit: What are the odds that Skyrim's Dragonborn DLC will see a steep discount (-75%) during the Summer Sale?
I've waited so long...
Do they tend to repeat on sales? I only ask because it was for sale during the Winter sale when Skyrim was 75% off and that was actually my first big sale so i wouldn't know if they offer the same stuff on the big sales.
I'm actually kinda surprised they haven't done something this week for the release of ESO.

DLC wasn't. It was cheaper to by the legendary edition for $20 than it was to buy the DLC alone if you already owned the main game.

Oh man, serious flashbacks to me paying full price for the DLC thinking it was on sale, but it of course wasn't.
It's a publisher sale on a storefront... that most people forget exists
Never mind, it was also in that Daedalic bundle.

I think discounting Skyrim would hurt Skyrim Online. :/
Skyrim and its DLC have been on sale during every big sale I can think of. The lowest I recall Dragonborn going was 50% off, but then Skyrim Legendary Edition released and screwed up the sale prices something fierce. Since Skyrim LE, they seem resistant to discount it below 50% off for some reason.
Remember, Bethesda: you can't spare my wallet forever.

It fits all the other clues too. Its Steamplay, has cards, and has been on Steam for more than 1 year (clues were supposedly provided in the Groupees chat channel).
Edit: Except they claim the mystery game has never been in a bundle, according to this it has been: http://isthereanydeal.com/specials/394/

I think the version on GMG uses Uplay, that and the coupon.
They said the game wasn't been bundled before though. It was on the Humble Weekly Daedalic. I mean, they don't exactly call it a "Bundle", but it is one,regardless.

Guys, what the best looking profile background picture in your opinion?

On Steam? I haven't exactly went searching for them but I like mine
http://steamcommunity.com/id/MDallday/
So I put an hour or so into Rescue - Everyday Heroes and it...kind of kicks ass?
I'm pretty surprised to be honest. I thought it looked novel but I wasn't expecting much. Yet I've discovered a Fire/EMS game that plays like The Sims with light management/rpg elements.
Presentation is on the upper scale for the genre. Graphics look great, as do the animations. I smiled when I held the held down the mouse wheel and the camera rotated around just like The Sims (I thought the game had a locked-isometric view for some reason). Menu/UI/tutorial cards are smart too.
Game systems are pretty detailed. You hire staff and buy equipment for your firehouse. Employees have skill traits, both technical and personality. You buy/upgrade fire trucks, ambulances, hoses, etc. as well as aesthetic stuff like mess hall, weight room, rec room, etc. You rotate/place the objects like in The Sims and everything you invest in and order your employees to focus on directly affects their skill level and moral.
Outside of Management mode you're off to Dispatch once you get a mission where you put together the vehicle/staff combo you want to take out to the emergency site. Once you launch the mission you take full control of the vehicles & staff. Firing up the sirens and selecting a parking location (hopefully next to a hydrant!). You're not just clicking on the fire to put it out...you have to connect various hose types, navigate your guys around the map, load up stretchers and more. Left-click to select character and right-click vehicles and equipment to get option boxes. It's a lot of detail-oriented fun.
I understand that they fixed the problematic A.I. pathfinding and made the Mission Timer toggle-able, defaulted to Off if that's any indication how people felt about it.
Anyway, REH isn't GOTY or anything, but turns out it's a lot more substantial, polished, and fun than I expected. I love being pleasantly surprised.

The only profile background I spent real world money on. http://steamcommunity.com/id/mixedupzombies/
well in my defense i've wanted to be a surgeon for the longest time (along with many other things) so i really like hospitals and clinics and blood and iv lines and urine samples and doctors and all that stuff.
and i really like watching the blood turn dark when they put it in that little vial and of course chatting up the girls that take my blood since they're pretty cool
too bad i had mono and so i can't donate blood or i'd do it often
i'm late for this but what the hell are you talking about
everyone loves cheese
what the fuck
ah ok i was kind of super hyped for today but it's alriteRumour was 'early this week' so could be today/tomorrow.
Happy Birthday by the way
and thanks
!
i know there will be a lot of answers for this but i just built myself a gaming PC (gtx 770) and there's just so many games on steam to pick out.
i have a lot of games from the humble bundles, but i want something that will give my graphics card a kick. what do you guts recommend?
as of recent i've only been playing diablo 3 and while that looks nice and is a fun game, i want something more.

What time is it?
Good choices. I also like Kerbal Space Program backgrounds.
Not sure if you'd entertain another RPG but how about The Witcher 2?

What's it from?
There are so many good ones, even from obscure games that you have never heard of.
I just go through various games every once in a while and check them out. Use the preview portion of Steam Card Exchange and you can see how they look on a profile.

im curious about this 'who's gaming now' group. they do "promotion" for games on greenlight, and they get, what in return? does anyone have a guess what the incentive for the group is?
Dusk Golem
A 21st Century Rockefeller
I know I'll be beaten to this, but They Bleed Pixels. It's a platformer beat-em up tat's fairly challenging, and with strong Lovecraft influences.

I don't know for certain, but my guess would be to get games greenlit and bring attention to games to get on Steam.
