I figure this is as good of a place to ask as anywhere else - when's the next mainline Humble Bundle due? It should be Humble Bundle 10; the last one (9) was in early September, so I feel like we're due for another one really soon.

I'm not sure if I activated this key or not. If someone wants to try it let me know if it worked!

I'm not even sure what I'm waiting for, too sleepy and I think I bought almost everything I wanted.

If I'll get a hold of my guy tomorrow, I could host Forced 4 pack 3$ each, we'll see.

What kind of game is forced, no access to computer so can't really look it up so efficiently ATM. If it is tempting and I like I might jump in if you can find a 4th guy.

There's no fixed pace. It started at about 6 months between mainlines then got more frequent. But I would imagine most of the major candidates for inclusion want to ride out te holiday sales before bundling.

It's $20 at GamersGate today, and the 20% compensation discount brings it down to $16. (Of course, you might prefer to buy stuff on steam for the extra perks and such, but the lowest price to date there is $20.)

THanks for Nether JaseC. I was actually considering buying it, but Mobius said it was pretty bad and needed some patches, and I saw that they put some out.

It's actually a pretty solid promo because Amazon's selection of Editor's Choice games is decent. Two years ago, I got Bulletstorm and Crysis 2 for $5 each ($10 - $5 code) and last year I got Walking Dead for $7.50 ($12.50 - $5 code) and Spec Ops: The Sand for $2 ($7 - $5 code).

The only "catch" is that you're still spending more money on games, but if you're really looking to buy more stuff, it's definitely great incentive.

Well, last year there was a Humble Bundle right in mid-December right before the Christmas sale, which was great in consolidating/cutting down my indie purchases for the winter sale, but it seems there's no such luck this time. This year, it's looking like I'm gonna buy Spelunky and Guacamelee for $3.74, then have them both show up in Humble Bundle X next year :-/

Bioshock Infinite season pass for $5 makes up the shitty sales so far (for me at least)

besides, we still have 12 days? 11 days? And then Amazon will do their Jan sale along with probably GMG again so i ain't even mad. Although i have been firing money at my tv like a machine gun yelling TAKE MY MONEY STEAM and they seem to continue to put up their shitty deal force field.

It must be late as I just bought Enemy Within and The Bureau despite repeatedly telling myself "wait until they get a base price drop" as I was adding them to my cart.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

I got that too. Pricing errors are the best.

The select games will be on sale and the 5$ credit will stack, even with games that have a 5$ price point. If last year was anything to go by the deals should be awesome.

Do you need to use a code or something to get that Amazon promo?

You can just buy some 50c dlc and get some coupons ;)

This is been my lowest spending on a steam sale ever, .75 (thanks to card money). Of course I've only purchased Sword of the Stars: The Pit (and DLC).

Hahaha I'm not that crazy.

Because they were both on flash deals for 50% and 75% respectively and it was buy now or have to wait for the inevitable daily at the same price. My reasoning was that The Bureau hasn't done too well in sales and might drop fro a base price of £29.99 to £19.99 after Jan and will be dirt cheap next year. Though it's something I'm going to play right away so I can deal with a couple of quid loss.
