I imagine the person posting looks like their avatar.

If I looked like my avatar, I'd have hair.

Weekly bundles only last a week, yeah.

I imagine the price is fairly stable now, shouldn't rise too much. Maybe it'll reach $4.

It's gone up $.50 since I bought it. Although the first tier seems like it has the most desirable games, so I'm not sure why.

Still need one more to play the Speedrunners challenge, anyone in?

Happy New Year folks!
You know what this means, we gotta celebrate with Speedrunners!
The holiday sale have almost passed and you better have bought it already and had time to practice.
This time around though, you only need to win a total of 3 rounds in all races to win a free game of my choice, 6 rounds = 2 games and so on.
I'm really rusty and I suck at that new map, so it's your golden chance to win some free games!

Challengers:

* billmcdougal
* salazar547
* Ozium

Also joining another challenge for myself, 52 games a year, with a small twist.
Going through my backlog in order I bought the games.

Cheers!

Edit:

Good luck finishing World of Goo. The game gets difficult at the end.

Haha thanks, in worst case I'll have to use a walkthrough.
Remember playing it briefly, but I suck at building games and wasn't really into it :p
 
Jase, you are talking with me. Of course I'm unlucky.
I remember buying the bundle with Saints Row 3, the BTA was 10$, I bought it, refresh, 5.67$.

I'm usually on the page when the bundle is up at 11AM PST, open a few tabs of the same page, over a few minutes I refresh one tab at a time until the price drops and starts going up, then buy on the tab with the lowest BTA.

Yeah, but the biggest price changes normally happen in the first few hours, no?

That said, it has gone up $.04 since I posted, so maybe it isn't slowing down as much as I thought it would.

And now my year (2015) of not buying any games have started, but at least I have a gift card for H1Z1 later this month.

I think I'm going to do the same. I will still buy bundles but other than that next time I buy something will be the wintersale. Unless Summersale is bloody awesome.^^;

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
So, Greenlight is going away soon, isn't it?
What other explanation is for a Debut bundle not being called a Debut bundle?

The ETA of Greenlight's replacement at last year's Steam Dev Days was late 2014/early 2015, but it wouldn't be the first time Valve's estimated dates were off.

I'm going to be pretty tight for money in the next couple of years, so I might take the bundles + winter sale route as well.

I probably won't have much time left over from work anyway, might as well use the little bit I have to get through my backlog.

The current Humble Bundle will be available for the next 6 days?

The average price is likely to increase, right?

Always keep humble bundles open in two tabs and only refresh whichever is the higher price. Eventually it'll bottom out and start rising again (usually within the first few hours), so you can make sure you pay the lowest price rather than whatever the actual BTA is at the time.

Whoa that works? You don't need to be on the checkout page or anything for the lower price to stick?
 
This. I always just assumed the checkout would show the updated price whenever you went there.

It sucks if the BTA changes as you're typing in the amount, adjusting how much goes to who, or typing in your email so you pay whatever amount is display on the page. Keeping tabs open with lower/old prices works.
 
Yeah, it sucks if the BTA changes as you're typing in the amount, adjusting how much goes to who, or typing in your email so you pay whatever amount is display on the page.

So keeping a tab open with an old price doesn't work for sure? If so I should jump on it quick cause the price is going up quickly
